They lack training in customer service, they lack quality in service, in front they have an entrance sign and right there are 2 chairs across it, according to them with that they indicate that it is not an entrance (obviously a big mistake) instead of apologizing for THEIR mistake they blame the customer, they charge for serving more coffee, that is strange and miserable, the crepes have little flavor, they do not have Splenda, the dishes lack seasoning, they could improve if they tried harder.

Fantastic little restaurant. Their eggs Benedict was very good. I especially enjoyed their blueberry mint drink, and their crepes. Will definitely be going back

We waited for over an hour to get served when there were clearly visible tables in sight. How hard is it to walk me and one other person to a table

Lovely spot - worth going out of your way for those blueberry pancakes. Cappuccino was great too. Only complaint is that they charge you for a full cup of coffee if you’re getting a refill after a cappuccino. How about a dollar off at least! Besides that, really pretty location and clear attention to quality.

I don’t ever go full-Karen, but this time I will only because of the cost-to-quality ratio being so poor. *Cliff notes* service was unfriendly, food was consistently undercooked, silverware was dirty, dishes have fancy french names but food did not live up to the price tags.
We arrived Sunday morning and simply asked for available outdoor seating like a normal person would. The hostess asked if we made a reservation or called ahead. We told her no, and she scoffed and told us to go to the picnic table outside. The waitresses weren’t rude, but they all seemed unpleasant. The silverware was dirty and needed to be replaced (we checked thoroughly to make sure it wasn’t just normal silver tarnishing). The food was priced as a high-end French cuisine restaurant. What we got was a (single) plain Belgian waffle that was still raw in the center for $12. French toast was good, but only two small slices for $15, and the maple syrup is $2 extra for each dish. The main dishes were the worst part. $21 for the steak au poivre which translates to “pepper steak.” I got a salisbury steak near-equivalent as a sandwich. The description mentioned a baguette at the end suggesting it on the side. There was no mention of it being a sandwich. The side salad was a fancier mix, but had no dressing on it and the lettuce itself was more bitter than the onion. So much it almost burned my tongue. I like to finish all the food on my plate as a habit, but I refuses to stomach such a bitter and plain dish of lettuce. The eggs a la king was served with egg whites still slightly clear (uncooked). It was also supposed to come with sweet potato latke. We were served a poorly mashed sweet potato on the bottom of the dish. Hollandaise sauce in the crepe was way too vinegary, had a stomach ache afterwards. Based on so many food poisoning reviews, possible the sauce was spoiled but not sure.
If you’re looking to just switch up your regular breakfast spot, or are more concerned about the ambience than the food, you might enjoy the casual brunch experience there. But the decor is a typical shabby chic you could find somewhere cheaper.

Today was our first time at C’est La Vie Bistro. We sat on the patio after being offered both inside or outside seating. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and sweet. We loved the crepes and the eggs Benedict. We will be back for sure!

Way overpriced, very limited menu, the blueberry pancakes were probably the best I've had, but the serving size verse the price was borderline criminal. I'll never go back

By far my favorite breakfast/brunch spot! Vintage, artsy vibe. Incredible food, friendly servers, and quick service. I've never had an item I didn't love. From the coffee to the apps and meals....perfection!

Interesting lunch plates with lots of flavor “that’s life” at C’est La Vie. Milli has put together a fun and relaxed atmosphere in this old house. Sandra had French onion soup and I had Croquettes Monsieur and house potatoes, all served with a smile by Alicia.
