This is a place you go to if you want to impress someone. We dined here this week and had an amazing experience. Thank you to Heidy from La Vie for helping with our reservation. We reserved an igloo at the penthouse and it was breathtaking. It looked like each igloo was decorated with a different color or theme inside. The heaters do a great job, we didn’t need jackets. The views are amazing. The service was outstanding. The food was delicious. The drinks were great especially the Rouge Sauvage. It was a cocktail with Cognac and it was absolutely delicious. We can’t wait to be back. I highly recommend having this experience at least once if you’re lucky enough to get a reservation.

I went to La Vie for my Besties birthday brunch and it was absolutely marvelous. The food kept coming and everything was delicious — beautifully plated, perfectly seasoned, and truly immaculate. Even dishes you wouldn’t normally choose felt impossible to skip because they looked and tasted so amazing. The waiter and staff were outstanding, and the decor was stunning. Thumbs up all around — I will definitely be back. If you’re in DC, the La Vie location is highly recommended.

A great spot with an absolutely beautiful view of the Wharf and the water. There’s even an open rooftop you can head up to, which makes the whole place feel even more special. The décor is amazing honestly, some of it made me laugh in the best way and the overall ambiance is gorgeous, modern, and fun.
Everything I ordered was really good, from the drinks to the food, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The whole place feels very high-end, making it a perfect date spot or a brunch-with-the-girls kind of place. Highly recommend!

La Vie exceeded every expectation and delivered an unforgettable evening. The service was seamless, attentive, and incredibly polished the staff made us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. Even though we were running late, they were extremely accommodating and gracious, setting the tone for a truly stress free and welcoming experience. The server was very polite he took pictures for me and my husband. The manager was very involved and accommodative. They even provide blankets! We stayed in the igloo with the water view, afterwards I really wanted to sit in the pink one and because it was open they were able to accommodate us!
The food was outstanding. The shrimp cocktail was my favorite. My husband devoured the lobster Mac n cheese. They also have the best drinks and dessert. PRESENTATION OF DESSERT IS AMAZING!
What truly made the night extraordinary was how special they made my birthday feel. La Vie turned the evening into a celebration I’ll never forget. We had music playing in the igloo through Bluetooth. Heater on blast!
If you’re looking for elevated dining, service, and an atmosphere La Vie is a must visit. I cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning.

I had the most wonderful experience today at La Vie. 4 of us had a delicious brunch in an Igloo at the Penthouse level. 2 heaters, a Bluetooth speaker, comfortable seats and a table, plus gorgeous decorations inside. Our service and food were fabulous. I highly recommend this experience!

Oh my goodness…. We rented an Igloo in the evening. The view was absolutely beautiful. The Igloo itself was gorgeous. Service was amazing. Food was outstanding, and I am a tough customer. I rarely rate anywhere 5 stars, but this restaurant earned it. Worth every penny.

It was a beautiful experience. The place is so beautiful. Customer service is so amazing. But I’m not used to foreign dishes, so I struggled with the food. As an African, I have a hard time eating something different from what my taste buds know. But the place is beautiful

One of go-to spots for Sunday brunch (10+ visits )! Our group usually ranges from 8–12 people, and they always accommodate us (we book a few weeks in advance).
Brunch is served in 3–4 courses, with the sweet course consisting of pancakes, waffles, and more—coming last. They offer bottomless mimosas and a well-crafted cocktail menu, plus they’ve recently added a carving station and a self-serve selection of small bites.
Plan to spend about 1½ to 2 hours enjoying great food, drinks, and conversation. The multiple portions can be a little overwhelming, but it’s perfect for larger parties. You can also request a repeat of any dish.
Can’t wait to check out their igloos this winter!

Anyone who knows me knows that La Vie is one of my favorite brunch spots in DC. It’s located at the Wharf overlooking the water.
This place is always busy and reservations go so fast. Don’t wait until the last minute to try and book because it’s hard. Anyways, the service is amazing as expected. The decor is gorgeous. My favorite thing is that the plates are bottomless and served family style. You can literally order anything on the menu as many times are you’d like. I hate that they took the duck carbonara off of the menu. That was my favorite thing.
The best thing this visit was the raw bar, the lamb from the carving station and the meatballs. I really am upset that they took my duck carbonara away. The Duck pie was not a good duck substitute.
The bottomless mimosas were on the money as well. Our server made sure that they were never empty.
Make sure that you dress accordingly. It’s not a casual sneaker place.
