Seriously, the most delicious food in town and the atmosphere is absolutely lovely. The chef is delightful and the over all the vibe is warm and welcoming. By the time we left, we had met everyone in the restaurant! Definitely plan on having more amazing meals here.

Lovely place, definitely a French atmosphere. It was raining and the door was open, just felt so comfortable. Could have done without the jazz music, but that's just me. We had the onion soup which was utterly divine with lots of cheese in it. I had a salad that had the best basalmic drizzle on it, so fresh, and large slivers of parmesan. My BFF had the beef sandwich and said it was delightful. Excellent prices for the quality, I would absolutely come back (was on a road trip). Disabled people, please note you must walk from further down the block on the sidewalk, as the few little stairs out front are really tall, but there's a handrail. It was doable slowly with a cane.

Incredible establishment with the kindest employees & the hardest working chef in Silver City. I have yet to order anything here that I didnt like. Ever changing menus for special occasions and a soup of the day I'm always excited to be suprised by. The rack of lamb and ravioli were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. 10/10 would recommend La Vie gets busy so I do recommend a call ahead reservation but they are not required.

I stopped at this place a while back and was glad I did. The food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. The cheese ravioli was delicious and incredibly rich. I got full so quickly. The owner is very nice as well.
