Best Mediterranean restaurant in South Florida

Such a great hidden gem! The belly dancer show was such a fun touch for a Sunday night! I just wish it was a little longer. We arrived about 10 minutes late and caught the end, but she did an amazing job with the fire performance and interacting with the tables. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Very ... elegant Middle Eastern vibe with gorgeous lighting and so many picture-worthy spots. Even the bar area looked super cute. Food-wise, the shrimp appetizer was delicious. We had the salmon with lemon potatoes and the beef shawarma for our entrees. The salmon was a little bland at first, but some salt and pepper fixed that easily. The beef shawarma was flavorful and very tasty, even if it was a little tough to wrap. For dessert we tried the chocolate ice cream, which was exactly what you’d expect- next time I definitely want to try the cotton candy one. It was my first time having the traditional Arabic coffee, it was interesting and strong! Service was a little slow toward the end of dinner and we had to flag down the waiter for dessert and the check, but otherwise they were attentive and checked in throughout the meal. Overall, such a beautiful spot with a great atmosphere and entertainment. We will be back! Read More

We visited La Vie Lebanese Restaurant while on vacation, and this was the first place we chose for dinner. We were very happy with our experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the restaurant itself was beautiful both inside and out. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided ... excellent service throughout our visit. Everything came together to make it a wonderful dining experience. If you’re in the area, this is definitely a place worth visiting. We highly recommend trying their food, and we’ll be happy to come back on our next trip Read More

If you are a sensorial person, you will love the experience of dining here! From the moment you walk in the door the atmosphere greets you with visually stunning surroundings. You feel like you are worlds away from Florida. The music playing is authentic to the experience as well and is lovely. Our server was ... excellent. There for every need. I have some food allergies and she consulted with the chef for me to make sure all the ingredients were acceptable. The drink menu was fun. I had "In Love With La Vie" looked and smelled beautiful (floral). Tasted delicious. My husband had "Old Timer" smooth and silky with a touch of cardamom, dee-lish! We shared fattoush for a salad that tasted like it was just picked from the garden and the olive oil is like nothing from the grocery store. The pita bread, light and airy with a crispy outer layer. For main course I had Lamb Tagine, tender and spiced with middle eastern flavors that didn't disappoint. Aromatic and delicious. My husband had lamb chops, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. For desert I had scrumptious Baklava and my husband had Viva La Diva, luscious and chocolaty! So if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion or to impress a date or just to treat yourself to a cultural and epicurian sensorial delight, this is the place to go! Read More

Totally exceeded expectations. Unassuming, humble facade; like an oasis, you open the doors & inside awaits an impressive jewel-toned, dreamy dining room. Spacious & perfectly decorated. If the hostess asks, opt for a window table if dining with up to 4. Otherwise, you get sat in an awkwardly placed middle row of ... 2-tops or a communal table. The menu was easy to navigate with some nice deals & an intriguing cocktail flight. Try it! There’s something for every taste. Good portions & good service, too. Everything delicious. I randomly chose this restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday looking for something different in an area that is a sea of chains. I chose wisely, she loved the experience. She jokingly said she would’ve liked a belly dancer & to her surprise, one appeared & put on a great show. Would definitely recommend especially for special occasions. Read More
