I loved the food at this restaurant! It was super delicious, but I was shocked that the rice was not gluten free. I always expect rice to be gluten free since it is naturally, so that fact that it was not and that I could not order just rice is super disappointing. The food I did eat, however, was extremely delicious and I would eat it again. The entire experience was amazing aside from the customer service. Uncomfortable and weird jokes were made by two staff members, who were apologetic when they realized the joke did not land. The interactions definitely dampened the experience. I would come back if I knew it wouldn’t be uncomfortable but because that is not guaranteed I am a little hesitant!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My husband and I had date night here that was a lot of fun. The food and drinks were great. I had the Arabian Nights cocktail and my husband had some Persian wine. The service was excellent. We absolutely loved our server Seth and there was entertainment. They had a belly dancer. My photos don’t do this place justice. I will definitely be back with some friends.

La Vie Mediterranean Restaurant – Palm Beach Lakes Last night we had a spectacular experience. La Vie is one of those places that makes you want to come back the moment you leave. The food was excellent—authentic flavors, perfectly balanced, fresh, and with that Lebanese/Mediterranean touch that shows real care and skill. But what truly elevated the night was Phillip’s service. Extraordinary from start to finish: friendly, attentive, fast, with great recommendations and a warm approach that makes you feel like a special guest, not just another table. That level of service really makes the difference. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service. Highly recommended. If you go, I hope Phillip takes care of you
