"J'y ai dîné avec ma famille après avoir reçu des critiques élogieuses du restaurant. Notre serveur était très agréable, mais légèrement incompétent. Il ne connaissait pas beaucoup de détails sur le menu lorsqu'on lui a demandé des détails. L'une des entrées a été servie sans aucun des 3 ingrédients (olives aux agrumes en conserve et persil frit - servi sans persil frit - pas la faute du serveur). Le serveur a présenté le spécial comme apéritif, mais c'était en fait un apéritif. Mon plat principal (ou devrais-je dire "entrée") a été servi environ 5 minutes après que le reste de ma table ait déjà servi leurs plats principaux. J'ai pu commander un autre plat principal quand il était clair que j'avais commandé un apéritif, mais d'ici là, le reste de la table était terminé avec le plat principal. Le reste des gens à ma table ont apprécié la nourriture et les bières étaient délicieuses, mais dans l'ensemble, mon expérience n'a pas été formidable."

"We went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner and were seated promptly. We ordered drinks which arrived quickly, but unfortunately our server, Mike, disappeared for over 20 minutes. Our appetizers came, but I had to ask for extra dressing for my salad, which was only brought after our entrees arrived. We waited a while for our entrees and were finally given some cold and stale bread. To make matters worse, my date received the wrong entree. After trying to flag down our server, we waited another 15-20 minutes for him to return. The manager eventually came over, apologized, and offered to take the incorrect meal off our bill, as well as provide us with a complimentary dessert. Despite these gestures, the experience was already tainted and we decided to ask for the check. We also had a birthday reward and loyalty reward as wine club members, but these were forgotten by our server. We have dined here before and enjoyed the food and service, but this visit did not meet our expectations, with the service being the major issue."

"I have ordered from this restaurant three times - once to dine in and twice for takeout. During my dine-in experience, the staff were mostly neutral, not particularly friendly but not rude either. They seemed professional in their customer service skills. I ordered breakfast and found the food to be bland but edible. When I ordered takeout, some of the staff seemed reluctant to have me enter the establishment, despite my appearance being clean and presentable. The breakfast orders for takeout were also bland but edible. I may consider trying their lunch menu in the future, but overall, I do not plan on returning to this restaurant due to the lackluster experience."

"Delicious fresh food with friendly staff and a clean restaurant. The Fish Joint is located in a nice homey plaza. The menu has lots of options for everyone hot and cold appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers. The food comes out quickly and piping hot. I started with a bowl of clam chowder which was tasty but on the salty side. I was definitely paying the price with the water retention the next day. Portion size was good. The fried cod fish sandwich was huge and very good the fish was airy and flaky. The buns were fluffy and semi sweet. The coleslaw was light and not strongly seasoned. The burger was cooked medium and had a nice thick meat patty. Loaded with fresh toppings. The fries were hand cut potato slices and delicious. The hush puppies were a little dry but still good. Thank you Sebastian and Valentina for the good service!"

"La Vie Lebanese restaurant in Pompano Beach (281 S. Pompano Parkway, but the address is confusing because it is at the corner of a long strip plaza at the intersection of Powerline Rd. and N. Course Dr. . I have never been to Lebanon so I am not well versed in the middle-eastern culture except for Greek food. Therefore, I don’t know the authenticity of Lebanese food, but there were a couple of middle-eastern families with women wearing head scarves seated in the restaurant – when country-natives sponsor one of their restaurants, that is usually a sign that the establishment serves close to authentic down home cooking of that country. With my ignorance to Lebanese gastronomy, I’m sharing my humble experience based on what my party ate at La vie last Sunday night. In short, we loved most everything and were impressively delighted by the flavors that were elevated by a cumin spice dominance. The inside atmosphere did not project that of The Arabian Nights, but our server said that they do have an exotic veil dancer that performs on certain nights… Sunday night was not one of those nights. The vaulted ceiling of the restaurant looked more to me like an island hut, but the beautiful massive hanging lamps give it what I believe it to be a middle-eastern flair. Our party of 4 regulars do pick at each other’s meals all the time to experience as much as we could wherever we go. The service was outstanding. Upon being seated, our server introduced himself, took our drinks order, and a lady dropped a plate of complimentary seasoned chips and hummus. A few minutes later, we ordered the Mezza Veggie Supreme sample platter made of hummus, tabouleh, baba ghannouj, falafel, and grape leaves along with a basket full of hot air-puffed pita pockets (most delicious which was served about 10 min later with our drinks (perfect . Our entrees came about 10 minutes after we finished the Mezza plate (great timing . Entrees were: Lamb Meatball Tangine, Chicken Kabob, Lamb Tangine, and I ordered the Mixed Grill (a sampler of kabobs: filet minion, chicken, kefta, and mixed vegs. We all agreed that everything was excellent, flavorful, and plentiful except for the chicken which was dry (maybe it was just that night . Another annoying quirk (and a personal peeve of mine is that our Mezza platter had 3 grape leaves and 3 Baba Ghannouj and we were 4 people. This should be a policy of all restaurants for servers to explain that a sampler platter or other appetizers come with a minimum of 2 or countable items. The server should acknowledge the number of people in the party and suggests to add more to equal the party atvan additional cost. Lastly, one dinner plate was chipped (not that was the end of the world. We did not bring it to our server’s attention, but that should have been noticed by the chef or the server before sending the order out . C’est la Bonne Vie, but not quite La Vie En Rose. I give a 4 stars because it was surprisingly a great experience. Will I go back? Surely."
