La Vie Washington Reviews
Great Mediterranean food
Mediterranean food this good should come with a warning label, because once you try it, you’ll keep craving it nonstop. The flavors are fresh, bold, and comforting all at once. The grilled meats are perfectly seasoned—juicy on the inside with tha

Went 2024 in August so things on the menu have changed since then but the selection they had was amazing! Went with family and had a spread of items to all try. I hope they bring some of these plates back especially the pasta and the scallops with th
Dined at La Vie on a Tuesday evening with a friend.
We opted for outdoor seating though, because of the table placement, I was in direct sunlight for a while. We asked to be moved but the server basically encouraged us to stay because the sun would move as it set. Oh the server...he's the reason

From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm that I briefly wondered if she was AI-powered. Our waiter, a handsome gentleman, quickly earned the nickname "for the people" from my group--he kept a mimo

If you go there for happy hour, don't expect to have a view of the waterfront. You sit at the bar area and while it has nice decor, it isn't a view of the outside. Nothing special about HH menu. There is an automatic 24% additional charge t

There were 6 people in our party and the bill was almost $1000. We spent $516 (before tax, tip and fees) on the food ONLY and left hungry. I don't think I'll ever go back or recommend this place to anyone. Everything is very overpriced! The

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner and had a really great time. First let's start with the ambiance, it's beautiful! Definitely "Instagram worthy". Their menu is tapas style, meaning a dish can serve 2-3 people. Our pa
It was our first time here.
The ambiance was so beautiful. We got a seat by the window. So we got to see the river. We got a lot of different food. Our favorite was the steak and French toast. The rest of the dishes were average. The service was amazing.
Excellent restaurant in the Wharf
A large group of us had dinner here whilst attending a conference at the Convention Centre. The restaurant is located a 15 min ride from the Convention Centre but this is due to the number of red lights at the intersections rather than the distance.
Classy restaurant, Exceptional Service, Beautiful Decor
It is a classy restaurant with magnificent views of the Potomac river and the boats. Located on the Wharf. The decor is rich with marble topped tables. Service is exceptional and there is constant attention. The restaurant has a good selection of

Do not waste your time or money. The food is not worth it, our service was slow. Our server failed to let us know what the 20% service fee was so we ended up leaving another 20% tip on top of that. As we were walking out I asked the person greeting e
Average food poor service
Food was average at best- relatively bland and definitely not worth the Mo eat. Service was slow- we sat in our igloo for a solid 15 minutes before our server ever showed up. Then when we ordered drinks and our initial food order. Food showed up with
Memorable Experience! Highly Recommend!
Great spot for an evening dinner date! My partner and I appreciated the friendly staff, amazing aura, phenomenal food, and all around great view and great vibes!
Very poor customer service
Pre cooked for dinner and was shifted to the penthouse with the full menu replaced with a mezze menu with nothing we fancied on. No warning at time of booking or upon being seated. Very poor service/experience - was lucky to find another table elsewh

La Vie was our first date spot and one we come to annually! We love the beautiful interior, amazing service, and delicious food! A bit pricy but fits the vibe of the restaurant.
Great Ambience, excellent service.
Menu gets monotonous needs more specials, and also dessert variety, team is great and views to marina also worth it

I cannot say enough about La Vie.
From the ambiance, food, the service, 10'a across the board. This review is a culmination of various accounts of my experiences while visiting the establishment, from brunch to dinner, weekday and or weekend, my experience at La Vie is consistent.
The place was beautifully decorated and had a great view.
Our server was nice and attentive and the food was delicious! It's pricey but worth it
The food and drinks are wonderful.
The price is exceptionally high though. The air conditioner was set way too cold though and it actually made our food cold before we were done eating! There are some very creative dishes that are worth the price, but with the AC issue, it just dampen

Beautiful Environment.
Tasty food. Friendly service. I would definitely go again especially in the summer.
CE N'EST PAS LA VIE ("This is not life")
Despite the panoramic views of the Potomac River high atop the restaurant, La Vie was an expensive and utter disappointment. We were a party of four squeezed into one of the seemingly acrylic bubbles dining on a wannabe coffee table. This is place

Ambiance: 5 Stars exceeds expectations.
Window seats are great in the winter. In the summer, I'd be scared to be by them. Food: Overall the food is good for the price. The steak was a bit chewy but I suppose it's the meat they use. I wish they'd offer an upgrade to a filet. I'd pay. Ba

Really great experience for us visiting DC.
Loved the location, the ambiance, the service. We went for the Saturday brunch special and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely will be going back.
Food: There were plenty of options for vegetarians.
I came here for brunch on a Sunday with a party of 7. We got everything from the brunch menu. Our server brought out everything we wanted to order broken down by portions for 7 people. Favorites: Out of everything we tried, I enjoyed the arancini,

If you want to impress a first date, impress your mate, or celebrate a birthday, it's La Vie! The food is fresh and seasoned to highlight the natural flavors.

Everything was very good! Parking was a pain but that is not their fault. We waited for our friends (they require 3/4 of the party to be there to be seated) and were seated promptly once they arrived. Service is friendly and helpful. Food was great
Gratifying dining experience filled with extraordinary ambiance
My wife and I were first time patrons at La VIe to celebrate my birthday brunch on Christmas day and weren't disappointed. To set the mood, we enjoyed a breathtaking view of waterfront DC from a penthouse igloo. Our server, Denise, was knowledgeable,
Rip off
Not worth it at all. Too pricey. Be aware of %2 and %20 of surcharges. I don’t mind paying this much if the service was good. Food wasn’t any special. Like breakfast type. Paying $400 for 3 ppl for breakfast type food not worth it. Non alcoholic
Way over priced/Ok food
We went to La Vie for my wife’s birthday brunch. The menu indicated an extra 24% will be added for service charge and “surcharges” to your final bill (very disappointing). We saw the waiter 4 time total. We actually waited for about 20 minutes
Skip it!
Mediocre food, pricey and painfully noisy. There was a 4% surcharge which we found outrageous. The surcharge is probably a cash cow. A 20% percent tip was automatically charged and not appreciated. We will not return.
Amazing place! Worth the visit, great location
What a lovely place, by the wharf, by the river. The food was lovely, hot, fresh, tasted delicious! The pancakes were everything!!😍😍
Highlight was Natalie - thank you!
Natalie was wonderful - she recommended all the best dishes (gnocchi, caesar salad, purple cocktail) and was responsive & friendly. Kudos! She was truly the highlight of the evening. The unexpected 4% surcharge left a sour taste in my mouth, whi

The ambiance of this restaurant was very nice, but in my opinion, the food and drinks were average. I didn't feel that the food and drinks were worth their cost. Worth the experience and to check it off my list, but I wouldn't say that I need to expe
Good Food and Good Service, but Way Too Pricey
Having just arrived in D.C., we chose La Vie on short notice based on the good reviews it had for nearby restaurants and for a price range shown of $$-$$$. I certainly wish we had read the other reviews first, because although the food and service w
Outstanding Meal, Service amd Atmosphere
First time at this restaurant and we are so glad that we kept our reservation. We were running late and thought they would not be able to seat us. So glad we took a chance.
Connect with users posting reservations for La Vie Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with La Vie Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Vie Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Vie Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ImmortalStep65, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ImmortalStep65 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ImmortalStep65 for any questions Peter may have as ImmortalStep65 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ImmortalStep65 now uses their connections at La Vie Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ImmortalStep65 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ImmortalStep65 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ImmortalStep65's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Vie Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
