    For daughters bday who loves French food. We were the only table dining that evening so we had the whole restaurant and staff attention all to us. It is a beautiful setting and pleasant ambience. I usually gear toward loud and vibrant but the experience was surprisingly great. The food was delicious. Thank you! We all enjoyed our dining experience.

    La Bonne Vie was an amazing experience all around! My husband and I have brought visitors from out of town and have dined there just the two of us.....when it was Russia House. We've always had exceptional service, food and the warmest welcoming and conversations with the owners. We will be coming back for sure.

    Very attentive service, although we were on a weeknight. Appetizers, especially the macaroni with Gueyere cheese was to die for. The chicken in a crock was oversalted and had only dark meat. Avoid. Scallops were great. Pork was okay. But overall, we recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

    Service was friendly but a bit slow. It took us more than 10 minutes to be asked about drinks. Perhaps they’re understaffed? Food was very good although we were surprised the entrees had no vegetables/sides. Ambiance was lovely — quiet and relaxing.

    The new menu and environment were wonderful and the service was excellent as usual. It was good to see the table-side Caesar salad back on the menu.
