   Food, service and atmosphere were all great for an outstanding experience. One of the best chicken shawarmas ever, and and a really good Old Fashioned.

   Have been to LaVie many times and it never disappoints. There are a few vegetarian choices for me, and all are delicious. My companions are uniformly equally impressed with the non-vegetarian options. This time, we had potatoes appetizer, fattoush salad, vegetable tagine, and seafood tagine. All were very good as usual. The potatoes were amazing! The service is always very good. Highly recommend.

   Everything was wonderful. We had the sampler appetizer with delicious warm pita. Loved the seafood tagine. My cousin had the lamb tagine. And mom had a sampler kebabs. Delish. And the baklava was great and the server made me a cup of fresh mint tea.

It’s great that your mom loved the kebab sampler too! And of course, ending with baklava and fresh mint tea sounds like the perfect touch.

   It was a great meal, service, and a little show afterward. Never disappointed when we dine here. It is not inexpensive but overall the dinning is worth the price.

   Girls dinner out. This restaurant has great value along with exceptionally good service. Water glasses were tended to & waiter was attentive carefully tending to our requests. Food was very good and the belly dancing made for a very fun evening.

    The decor is nice, entertainer was good, she performed for 25-30 min, everyone claps, it was interesting. Our waitress didn’t smile, was short, flat and very serious. The food is definitely not authentic Lebanese cuisine. The labneh is taziki, they don’t offer Arabic bread, only the small round pita ones. The kibbeh nayeh is made of beef not lamb. When I ask her about the authentic arabe bread and the lamb kibbeh nayeh, she took a step back and said: “ oh no, we don’t offer those” as if they are not good. The babaganoush was great, the hummus was good. The chicken shawarma is the same style of chicken the Chinese use for stir fry’s, odd. It’s possible I’m spoiled coming from Michigan where you can experience true authentic Lebanese cuisine, I have yet to see chicken shawarma like that. The salmon was overcooked and dry. As far as flavor goes for everything, it’s 2 out of 5. It was my stepdad’s birthday, they brought a cheesecake to the table and sang happy birthday with an “obligated” vibe. However, it was good. We still gave her a very nice tip. To top it off, our waitress called multiple times after we left, I didn’t answer because I didn’t know the number, after 4x I finally answered. She wanted to let us know she had given us the wrong check and our bill was more. A restaurant of this scale needs to call the customer when they made a mistake? We understand people make mistakes, if she had addressed it while we were there, as we sat and talked for a good 15mins after we paid the bill, sure but to call multiple times. No. To say the least, we will never dine there again.
