la comida es muy deliciosa y el personal muy atento
Great dinner with friends before a concert at The Anthem. Great drinks from the Happy House menu. Our waiter was JP, great service and suggestions! Views are always amazing.
Loved the views and patio area on the penthouse level. I’d dined at La Vie before, but this was my first time at their penthouse for brunch. The Harissa barbecue shrimp appetizer was a miss for me, but I enjoyed the main steak and eggs. I also loved how spaced out the tables were, compared to their main dining level.

La Vie is a beautiful fine-dining restaurant located at The Wharf, offering stunning views, especially around sunset. The atmosphere is lovely, with different seating areas, including a terrace (though it can be reserved for private events). The restaurant is known for its great vibe, memorable presentation, and friendly staff. Reservations are highly recommended, and the venue tends to be busy, partly due to its prime location and scenic setting.
The service at La Vie is often praised for being friendly and attentive. Servers like Gustavo, Dalton, and Daltol are recognized for their genuine care, making guests feel special through small surprises like complimentary desserts, sparkler celebrations, and checking on guests without rushing. They are particularly good at providing a great experience, especially for celebrations or special occasions.
The food features a mix of Middle Eastern dishes and seafood, with some standout items like scallops, which are described as divine, soft, and buttery with a nice sear. The branzino, ordered at one visit, was perfectly cooked and enjoyed with fries and tabbouleh. The lamb with hummus and kebabs receive mixed reviews, with some finding the portions generous but the dishes somewhat overpriced. The Dubai Pistachio Chocolate kunafa dessert is notable for its fun presentation, though the taste is average.
Prices are on the higher side, with drinks costing $20 and up, and a mandatory 20% gratuity added to bills, along with a 5% DC surcharge tax. The space can be noisy due to hard surfaces, and some dishes may arrive cold. Overall, La Vie is ideal for special occasions, offering a memorable setting, excellent service, and good food, though some may find the prices high for the quality of food.
