The Mother’s Day brunch was terrible, the food was poor quality but I could get over that. The problem is that neither my wife nor I received any service. The wait staff were happy to wait on all the other families in the establishment, but for some reason not mine. I don’t want to throw around a bunch of accusations, but denying service to lesbian parents on Mother’s Day is a terrible look. You couldn’t pay me to go back to this place.

We chose Cafe La Vie because we could get a reservation and the menu online looked tasty. I have to say that I was disappointed that a French restaurant didn’t have a croissant option. I had eggs Benedict and the sauce was lovely but instead of Canadian bacon it has slices of ham lunch meat and it sure wasn’t an English muffin underneath. It was bread that had been cut in a circle. The omelet my friend had was good. There weren’t more than 10 people eating when we were there and it took a long time to get waited on and get food. Our server was very pleasant and once things got going it was ok. Not sure where the holdup was. All in all not $53 worth of breakfast for sure.

I could have gotten a much better experience elsewhere for the same price. Was looking for new restaurant so I decided to try Cafe La Vie. Highlight was our server. She was excellent. Cornish Hen was the lowlight, closely followed by the mid-century decor and the low table/chair backs. Prices charged suggest a certain amount of luxury. Mid-century design does not say "luxury". This combined with the so-so food experience make me not want to go back.

We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated. We received water about 5 minutes later and our order was taken. We then waited an hour and nothing…no water refill, no food, no acknowledgement of the wait. We left. We saw other couples leave as well. They were clearly understaffed but there was no communication of anything. And they kept seating people…will not return.

First off, it was a HORRENDOUS experience. We had a reservation at 7P. By 7:45 all we had were waters. We saw our waiter once. Didn’t even have a chance to order food. Will not be returning EVER. He tried to come back and offer us drinks for free to comp his horrible service. We didn’t take it.

The food was very good, Our server did a very good job, considering the number of tables she was handling. When we made our reservation I specifically asked for the ability to order from the menu and not take the pre-fix meal. When we were seated we were told that we had to take the set menu. The food was very good, but we only had 2 choices on each course. Since we don't like oysters, we only had one appetizer choice. Having had filet and shrimp the night before, we really only had one choice for our main entree, too, without copying our previous dinner. I don't think we will go back in the near future. The open seating to the hotel lobby isn't our preference when having a nice meal. the staff was very friendly.

My boyfriend and I went to cafe la vie for a date night during restaurant week and ordered the Boursin tartine, Cornish hen, and eclaire. We also ordered a Caesar salad, martinis, and the steak sandwich. We were seated right next to the server station which was not ideal or romantic. We were given water upon being seated, but it was at least 10 min before we were greeted by our server. Once he greeted us though, the rest of our service from him was superb. The app, salad, and drinks were wonderful. However, the Cornish hen was so cold. There was not a single bit of warmth in the dish and it had very little flavor. The dessert was also bland and soggy. My boyfriend enjoyed the steak sandwich. While I would recommend cafe La vie for their apps and drinks, I would not recommend it off of their entrees or ambience.

We visited for restaurant week. Food was mediocre but we had a nice time at this hotel restaurant in Clayton. Starter was basically toast with goat cheese, procuitto and tomato. Cornish hen was difficult to maneuver but squash puree was good. Homemade gelato was delicious. Bar area was lively and designed beautifully.

The food was good and the waitstaff seems hardworking. We always like being waited on by Corinthian. But the food took SO long to arrive. We arrived about 625 for our 630 reservation and were seated right away but it took 30 minutes for our first course to come out. Then our second course came quickly but it took over 30 minutes after our second course was completed to get our 3rd course--which was just ice cream! Corinthian kept coming to update us that she was checking on it. She even brought me the check, I paid her and got the receipt back all before it arrived. I finally left without finishing it because I had to get my son to bed (it was 9 pm by then). The restaurant was not crowded so I don't know what the hold up was. Corinthian was very sweet and we like her a lot. But something needs to change because the food has come out SO slowly every time I eat here.

We had a great time and it was perfect for a quiet easy place for dinner. Staff was nice but busy with a party, so things were over looked as they were short in staff.

The food was very good and the service was fine. Could have done a better job of keeping fresh food (desserts) available, and less of a 'free-breakfast' vibe as a whole.

We were at Cafe la Vie for the Thanksgiving buffet. The food was tasty and fresh, although it wasn’t very hot, in fact cool. The ambiance was pleasant and modern, the service for drinks was slow, although servers attempted to be attentive, unfortunately not at the appropriate times. I would go back to try a meal from the menu next time.

Everything was bad! The food, service, the table was dirty, there were pills on the floor under my chair. Not sure how you mess up orange juice but they found a way to do that! Never again!

Randomly selected the restaurant looking for somewhere new to try in Clayton. Was not aware that the restaurant was inside the Le Meridian hotel rather than a stand-alone. May have explained why only four tables occupied at 6pm on a Friday night. Limited menu but dining room has a very modern decor with large bar, bright lighting, televisions and appropriate background music. Probably a great place for a business lunch, but not if you’re looking for a dimly lit date night location. Our server/bartender Niko was very pleasant. With the perceived lack of volume, we avoided the off-menu seafood “special” and stayed safe with a burger and chicken salad on croissant. Both were very tasty and to temp, but took a great deal of time to arrive from the kitchen. Parking validated at Front Desk. Would return only if staying as guest in the hotel.

A friend and I decided to have lunch at La Vie to celebrate her birthday. The sandwich we each ordered, Smoked Salmon Club, was terrible and neither one of us ate it. The toasted bread that the salmon was on was overly toasted to the point of almost burnt. Insult to injury when the parking lot validation did not work and I was charged $9.00 to get off the lot. The only bright spot was the server. She was very nice and attentive.

Lobster bisque was salty and we instructed low sodium. There were fruit flies flying around our food.

I’ve never wrote a negative review for anything but this dining experience was probably the worst I’ve ever had. Cafe La Vie had seemingly priming reviews online but that was far from the experience I had. First when my date and I arrived there was not hosts and only a bar tender insight despite having a reservation. Once seated we quickly realized the table we were seated at was being swarmed by nats. We them moved tables to only be swarmed by nats again. It was so distracting and frustrating it ruined the entire experience. Even if the nats were not there the quality of food was not worth the price. We ordered the ratatouille but when it came out it was a piece of Texas toast with chopped zucchini and squash on top of it. Not at all a traditional ratatouille.

Some of the food wasn’t very warm at all, especially for it not being busy. The server was great. Wasn’t impressed with cocktails.

We usually love Cafe La Vie but it fell short on this visit. The restaurant was down a server or two so one very earnest server was covering the entire restaurant with backup from other staff but it was insufficient. A glass of wine took more than 15 minutes to be served, and that was after two additional requests. The lobster bisque came out with the dinner rather than in advance, so the dinner grew cold while the bisque was eaten. The French Fries with the main course were totally cold, but our server quickly replaced them. The woman cleaning the tables sprayed the cleaning spray on tables without first removing the salt and pepper shakers. This is such a nice restaurant with such good food when served warm and in the proper order that we were disappointed the service made our dining experience so much less than enchanting. Hope the management team can figure out another way to reallocate responsibilities so the service side of the business can accommodate for sudden staff shortages. There's a great opportunity to better train serving staff on the finer points of service to match the prospect for fine dining that Cafe La Vie could offer.
