La Vie Lebanese Restaurant Palm Beach in West Palm Beach - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The "something different" we needed for our weekly night out for dinner. I've been here twice and I'm amazed by the food both times. First time I arrived, I was enchanted with the decor. The honeycomb wall & neon lights that lit the place up. They have an indoor and outdoor patio seating. We sat inside in a cozy booth. Second time coming here, I noticed the menu has a few items that have minimum of 4 people to order so we couldn't order those. Or it would be too much food if we did. I did order that the first time coming and it was a beautiful platter of shrimp, lamb chops, beef and chicken. It was delicious. Since it was a party of 2 with my last visit - I had ordered the Mixed Grill for 2 - about $68 and we enjoyed it. We also love the hummus appetizer with pita bread here. It was enough food plus a bit more for leftovers. All the meats are deliciously cooked. The rice was a bit dry but still tasty. Service here is decent. Don't see our wait staff enough as our water did not get refilled until the check came. Other than that, it's a pleasant experience. Especially since they have the dancer come out at night. We missed it the first time visiting as we were too early but the second visit, she did a belly dance incorporated with a sword and fire. Pretty entertaining!

Nick is incredible ! Very great service and much help

The show was very short and way overpriced. Very, very disappointed.

Visited La Vie on a whim but left dissatisfied. I enjoyed the appetizers and then ordered a non-alcoholic version of their “popular” strawberry drink…. That came with a moldy strawberry. (I drank half until I turned my cup around and saw it 🫠🤢) Disgusting the waiter would place a moldy strawberry on my cup. It completely ruined my appetite for anything else on the menu. This place has very dark interiors so IF you plan to visit double check your food and especially if you order anything with fruit.

Great find love the “MEZE” mixed grill food is fresh and delicious

Get the Knafeh A great restaurant for group celebrations. The shared entrees are plenty beyond the suggested number of people. Great entertainment, friendly staff, and cordial manager.

My server Seth was quick, accommodating, and very friendly. The food was great and the serving sizes more than enough. Whole experience 10/10 would suggest for anything ranging from a lunch date to a special dinner with your wife.

We have been looking for a Lebanese restaurant for a while and came across this place. Would definitely come back. We were served by Seth who was extremely professional and courteous. Definitely recommend

If you want a taste of Lebanese or Persian culture then check out La Vie Lebanese Restaurant in WPB. The inside of La Vie, is colorful & decorated with colorful lamps & modern eastern architecture. The servers are friendly & efficient. The food is amazing. Even fresh baked hot pita bread that comes to your table is still blown up from leaving the oven. As you tear it open steam is released then it flattens. The amazing Persian belly dancers are THE BEST you’ll see anywhere on the globe. Most belly dancers in south florida are latina women. So get off your rear and have an exotic drink here & go get a huge taste of culture.

Colby was great. Food was great. Experience was great. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and have time to try it.

Food is delicious, staff is great!! Nice for family dinner as well as couple’s night out.

Food and ambience were excellent!

Wonderful food, home-made pita bread, arrives at the table piping hot, delicious, everything is very good.

Great food and great atmosphere. Seth was an awesome server!

Great food our waiter Seth was awesome. The lamb chops were delicious.

Seth was great! Excellent food and service. Highly recommend.

Love the atmosphere!!! Coming back to see the dancers soon!

Love the atmosphere & I will be back. The waiter, Seth was outstanding. With the love of Christ, Pastor Bakhita Denegal.😊

My wife who just gave birth and I arrived home today with our newborn and we’re craving a satisfying meal to order for ourselves and our families. After hearing good things about La Vie we ordered 2 mixed platters meant to feed 4 adults. What arrived was not expected at all- first of all multiple missing items like rice and salads which were supposed to be included and even got charged for on the receipt as can be seen, and then each box pictured was supposed to be meant to feed 2 people (priced at $68 a box). As you can see the portions were definitely not meant for 4 people. Called the restaurant immediately to correct this mistake and missed items however the person on the phone was not helpful at all and very nasty. This is not how customer service should be done from a place that prides itself as a fine establishment. Be aware and stay away- you’re better off making the trip to Boca Raton for Shish Grill which is way tastier and third of the price along with better welcoming customer service.

Seth is the man. Best server I ever had

We walked in to a golden caravanserai! The service was just as warm and inviting as the delectable scents emanating from the kitchen. Javier took us on a most excellent culinary journey. We will certainly be returning!

Where do I begin. The location of La Vie originally worried me, there had been over 4/5 restaurants in 3 years in that spot so I was skeptical that it would stick around. Well that worry has evaporated because La vie has the food, service and atmosphere to make this a west palm staple for decades to come. Let me be plain, this place is amazing. Walking on the red carpet to enter gives you a good feel of what you are about to get, but stepping in the restaurant really wow's you. The architectural features give it a beautiful unique look and the bar is as eye catching as the drinks are delicious. The food is fantastic, if you are skeptical to try Lebanese food for whatever reason, give it a try anyways. The meats and rice are to die for and there is truly an option for everyone. I could throw a dart at the menu, tell them to bring me whatever it lands on, and I'll enjoy whatever they bring out. There is not a single miss on this menu. I just booked yet another table for the Saturday Belly Dancing show to surprise a friend for her bday and I cant wait to bring her. I have brought an indescribable amount of friends here and every single time this place is a hit, so I guess what I am trying to say it Thank you to La Vie for making me look so good ;) Must Try's - Mixed Grill Kebabs, Labneh, Patatas Hazza, Hummus, Shawarmas, Tagines and Tabbouleh

Hidden gem! Sophia our server was excellent.!

Seth was amazing!!! The place is good! And the food oh my! Definitely you need to go! 🌟

Seth was great! Good was absolutely delectable and the belly dancer was just an added bonus, offering to teach me lol. Overall great experience would def recommend and come back!

The area outside feels a bit rough, so the inside of the restaurant is a nice oasis. With excellent food and outstanding service. The decor is beautiful.

Great food and great service from Justin! All good... we will be back!!

Justin r server was awesome! Great recommendations, explained everything. We will be back.

Nick our server was really great and suggested such great dishes, Mike who served our dishes was so charming and professional and Frenanda was lovely .the atmosphere here is so nice ,great belly dancer too. Great might out I so recommend it.

Very good place . Seth is the best!

They do not disappoint and Seth is awesome

Food and service was top notch! Ask for Nicholas’ table and you won’t be disappointed. Food was outstanding and we can’t wait to come back. Five starts all the way

The food was amazing!! Javier was an excellent server… highly recommended!!!

Excellent experience, delicious food and excellent service. Thank you very much to Sofía for making my daughter's birthday a wonderful night. 100% recommended

Javier was incredible and the food was amazing!

La Vie has a great atmosphere, wonderful food and amazing ambience. Colby was our waiter and he was very attentive and great to talk too.

Awesome food and experience. Seth was a great server and bartender. The drinks were perfect and the food was even better. Glad we tried this place as it was the best resturaunt we tried over our two week vacation in FL.

Very nice place! Seth was out waiter and he was very attentive all the time, food was amazing, fresh and we even saw a belly dancing show! Great experience overall 😊

Most disappointing Lebanese experience in South Florida. Great service and atmosphere, but terrible food quality and presentation. Meat was dry and tasteless, while flour taco shells were passed in lieu of real peta bread. Go for the drinks, avoid the food.

The food was just okay.... everything else was good.

Overpriced dishes Small Portions From all we order the tastiest food was pita bread and rice, we visit location in Pompano Beach The food was much better.

Food was excellent Javier was my server very attentive and explain the menu in great detail. Highly recommend this place.

Food was very good. The waiter Javier was fenomenal, very attentive and helpful with the menu.

Very good food. Perfectly prepared. Service is also great. my 5 year old finished all his food!

Seth our server did an amazing job. He gave us an amazing review of the food and set our expectations. The food was amazing! I wouls recommend LaVie to anyone looking for a unique experience. The belly dancer set the mood. I had a chocolate coffee martini which was delicious. My favorite place so far.

Great place and the service provided by Javier was amazing..!

Javier was excellent, courteous and gave the best recommendations!!!! We highly recommend Look at me for dessert

The food is delicious and filling! Pricy, but it's totally worth it. I'll be bringing my picky mother here because I know they will not disappoint her. 😌

From the moment we walked in, Alaa's warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. What truly stood out was seeing Alaa roll up his sleeves and perform tasks typically done by servers. His hands-on approach and dedication to ensuring every guest felt special were truly remarkable. Steve, our server, was equally fantastic. His attention to detail, friendly attitude, and genuine care for our dining experience made the evening even more enjoyable. He was attentive without being intrusive and provided excellent recommendations that made our meal unforgettable. Alaa and Steve's teamwork and commitment to excellence made our dining experience immaculate. Their combined efforts created an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that is rare to find. I highly recommend La Vie Mediterranean to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Alaa and Steve.

Delicious, super responsive staff! Our server, Javier, helped us find the perfect choices for lunch.

Excellent and healthy food! I love it the best foods in the world 🤩

The ambiance of this place was incredible. The food was delicious and the service was attentive as well. We came in close to 6pm and it was empty but quickly filled up. Once filled when we were about to leave they brought out the belly dancer and she did a performance around the room with fire on her head and it was impressive. Fun place but keep in mind the prices aren’t cheap at this place. Some entrees were reasonable with pricing for the amount of food they give you but other prices were fairly high up there so double check the menu before coming in. Not too many options but all that we ordered were all great. We had the chicken shawarma and the salmon. Both were delicious. Highly recommend.

I was visiting West Palm beach for my wife’s birthday and found this restaurant; based on reviews, I made the reservation. The place is a Gem: the food was outstanding, the falafel and hummus were flavorful, the main plates were good, and the pita…wow! The mixed-grill Kebabs, the Kefta Kebabs and the Lamb Tagine were delicious. Also, the waiter brought a slice of cheesecake for my wife’s birthday, and the taste was great. The service was very professional and courteous. We loved it and definitely recommend it.

Everything was amazing the minute we walked in. What more needs to be said. You aren't going to be disappointed.

Food outstanding 10/10 Service Seth was great 10/10 everything I really like Mediterranean food and this is by far one of the best I've ever eaten.

Had dinner tonight for our 7th anniversary to try something different. The food was great, Oscar was fantastic server, and the unexpected belly dancer was phenomenal. This place is very unique and tucked away so that living blocks away fir 3 years, never knew this was here.

We’ve been to the location in Pompano and had been wanting to come to the Palm Beach location. It did not disappoint!!!!! The food was amazing, Seth provided fantastic service and the belly dancing is always so fun! 10/10 will recommend every time!

Seth was an incredible server. The food was amazing. I absolutely love the atmosphere. Such a great way to celebrate my 48th birthday

Disappointed because I was looking for a good middle eastern restaurant. My excitement from when I walked into the place and seeing how beautifully decorated it was, quickly turned into disappointment when I noticed every table except ours received complimentary appetizers upon sitting. We had to ask our waiter for some- which is highly obnoxious. We ordered some appetizers and were surprised when they didn’t come with pita bread. I have been to 100 middle eastern restaurants and pita bread with appetizers that are dips is standard. Was willing to overlook all this if the food tasted good and it didn’t! Welp! Will not be coming here again. Completely let down.

We have been to this place in Pompano Beach, and frankly that location is run better. This is a smaller location which was maybe half full on a Saturday night, not a great sign for a newer restaurant. Nonetheless, we went there and we had a Latin waiter with dark hair, who did not provide good service. We ordered the Moroccan green tea, which he never bought out. The service was incredibly slow with him, and many times our drinks went empty and he never bothered to refill until we asked. That said, the price is at this place have gone out of control. As you see from this pic, this is the portion of hummus, and the hummus could fit in your palm with room to spare, and it's $15. The falafel is the same price and it too could fit into the palm of your hand with room to spare. The prices are about double what you would pay for a Middle Eastern restaurant in the area. At these prices, you could and should expect good service, but we didn't find it. If the prices came down some, this would be a worthy place to go, but paying these exorbitant prices to eat in a dumpy strip mall in West Palm is a bridge too far.

Amazing Father’s Day dinner to go! They even put an extra Baklava in the bag for me❤️

The space inside is really nice. Food was all good and really fresh. They even had a belly dancer show that started at 9 pm.

Food was excellent and the service was very good. Will be back!!!

Great food and the atmosphere was great for a girl's dinner, but the margaritas were very small.

I am the last person to eat in strip malls but I heard about this place and looked at photos and I just had to try. I loved it! The whole thing! A few important notes though: I had to sit outside because whatever cleaner was used made me gag. Try something with a lemon, orange or lavender scent. Even plain old bleach would be preferable. Why in the name of everything holy are shawarmas served on plain Mexican tortilla??? WTAF? Also, there should be vegetables/peppers of some sort included. The Knafe was perfectly cooked! Except it lacked rose water and honey so it was basically dry though delicious. The baklava was excellent for Lebanese baklava but again, it lacked honey. The chicken shawarma meat was WONDERFUL, the lamb tajine was WONDERFUL and the server was so sweet. The dancer was also very sweet. I was so impressed to see her dance with two swords. The act was very short however. Long story short, this was absolutely wonderful and I will be ordering again and again.

Excellent Lebanese style restaurant. Extremely friendly service. Tasty traditional food. And great ambiance and decor. We'll definitely be back and recommend!

The food here was better than the food I’ve had in Morocco. I ordered the chefs special from their Lebanese section and my husband had the tagine. Both tastes amazing, we loved the colors and ambiance of the place, I would highly recommend.

This place is a hidden gem. The location would have you fooled. I’ve driven past here numerous of times and never once went in until this week. The inside is very nice. I’ve never had Lebanese food so it would be hard to compare but I think it was great. The drinks were probably the best part. They also had a live performance while we were there. This is a great place to take your partner on a date.

They mixed up our reservation but quickly accommodated our party. The food and service were excellent. The La Vie Chicken and lamb Chops we're excellent. Be mindful that parties of 5 or more they add in the gratuity as we missed it, but due to our generous tip, the manager called us the next day and asked if we were aware gratuity was already included and offered to refund the additional tip. We accepted and had the server informed us of the added gratuity he would have made more money. Overall it was a great experience.

La Vie is good for drinks and entertainment, BUT.. the food was so overpriced for such small portions. I love Mediterranean food, but the quality and flavors were seriously lacking. I ordered the chicken shawarma. It was just a scoop of rice and chicken. No side or salad for $30? I took a few bites because I was starving but it wasn't good

My husband and I had lunch at La Vie today. We had the chicken tangine and the lamb tangine, both excellent. The place was clean and the waiter professional and friendly. I would highly recommend La Vie.

They took out order last minute and it was great thank you !!!

The interior is beautiful, light, and rich all at the same time. The food is great. We went for lunch on a whim and have been going back ever since.

Very beautiful environment. The Belly dancer is very artistic. My server Nick very knowledgeable on middle eastern cuisine. All in all a very delightful evening @ your establishment.

We were greeted nicely, sat down a lady served us some bread and water, 15 minutes passed not one look our way. We waited another 5 minutes then we left. We wound up eating at Adriennes delicious. Wasnt packed

Saw previous reviews on Google and decided to give it a try. Outstanding in all areas and a surprise Belly Dancing show. Our waiter Nicholas was spot on with his recommendations. My wife said “we must come back here when we come back to West Palm Beach”. No argument from me.

Very nice restaurant. Unfortunately it was not that busy on Monday evening. The food was really good. Nice service. I'll come back again

The food was delightful and our server Seth was great. The belly dancing show was entertaining.

Our server Seth was attentive and was patient with us when it came to our mother first time experience he was patient and willing to explain the dishes to us

Service is really good and fast! 5+ Nicholas served our table, and was very helpful & kind. Food: - Falafel.. good; needs a bit salt. Over priced. - Kibbeh: too much cinnamon, needs salt & cloves. - Chicken Shawerma: BIG NO. Disappointed.. Too big to carry and enjoy eating. I’m surprised a “Mediterranean cuisine” would serve it like this… with rice? Seriously? Chicken tasted like soap too; should be grilled/ must be crispy and sliced. Does not work with tomatoes too. - mixed grill: very good. 👍🏻 - pita bread: fresh and delicious - hummus: way over priced & needs salt, lemon; and more tahini.

Everyone enjoyed their meal and said this is a restaurant that will definitely be on our return list. Our drinks were delicious and our waiter Justin was fantastic. We said we will call to make sure he is working when we return.

Javier was an excellent server and provided the best recommendations for our every dietary requirement. The atmosphere is beautiful and unsuspecting. The food is divine and flavorful. I’d highly recommend this dining experience.

Seth was a great server! Really helpful, recommended great food & he was classy. The food was amazingly delicious. I wish the air conditioner was a little lower & it wasn't so freezing. Being in Florida hot weather means you wear lighter clothing, so sitting in a freezer to eat dinner was uncomfortable. Other than freezing while I ate, the decor & the atmosphere was very nice. Seth rocked it, great service.

Amazing food and service ! Seth has been my waiter twice and is the best !

Seth was amazing and the belt dancer Ali Samadhi was fantastic

Laura was our waitress, she was so on point with everything!We had an amazing time ! Thank- you so much !!! We will be back !

The food exceeded my expectation and the service was excellent. Our waiter, Seth was professional and very knowledgeable of the menu amd answered all our questions. Definitely coming back with friends and family at a later time for the atmosphere.

Laura our waitress was amazing very kind and very attended I hope to have her next time the restaurant is amazingly beautiful and magical enjoy beautiful people.

I took my husband here for our 15 year Wedding Anniversary. The Belly Dancer was a surprise for him! The restaurant was beautiful. I loved the drink flight and we got to try 3 drinks each. It came with dry ice which was so cool! The food was very tasty as well we got lamb, shrimp and chicken dishes. They also give you cute mini pita breads as a starter. Nicholas was our server, he was awesome and took good care of us, he also gave us a complimentary cheesecake slice for dessert for our celebration and it came with a sparkler candle! It was a fun colorful night, thank you La Vie!

This is a wow moment for me. The chicken falafel was the best I've ever eaten. The greeter was especially nice and had me seated in no time. She recommended a perfect meal. Who knew "live entertainment with authentic "flame dancing!" I'll be back to try more things on the menu!

Delicious, large portions, authentic. Great service as well.

Lamb skewers and vegetable tajine were delicious The Lebanese wine sample flight was also excellent, would definitely recommend.

Justin was a great bartender! Def come and eat dinner/get drinks at the bar w him you will have a blast!

The food & belly dancing show were amazing! Seth provided top notch service and was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and offered great recommendations. Thank you Seth!

Just left la vie, very disappointed. Mixed grill was tuff, portion size was small for price. Appetizer were good. Waiter spent 20 minutes making drinks for another table. Won't be returning, $150 without tip I deserve better. It takes alot to make that money and have a bad experience.

Belly dancing show was so cool. Food great, and Colby was the best server!!!

Lovely environment, low lighting, no TV screens, excellent service, superior food, nice music, gentle space.

Thank you Justin. We had a great first experience. Looking forward to the next time. Lamb Tagine is Great. Vegetarian offerings sublime. All the food was fab. Belly dancer… amazing performer. We loved everything.

Food was fresh and delicious!!! Our server Nicholas was very attentive & helpful!! Can’t wait to come back!!
