Excellent place to celebrate a special occasion. The food is excellent, ambience is nice and the service is very good. The cost is more on the pricey side, but worth the visit.

Hidden gem tucked into a non-descript strip mall in Reston, VA. Prompt seating, attentive service, delicious food, fine-dining pricing but options at many price-points. Worth a try!

La Bonne Vie provided an absolutely superb Christmas Eve dinner program that took away all of the stress of the holiday season. The prix fixe menu was very thorough and provided many fine options for all tastes. The wine and cocktail lists were excellent. Having a special Christmas Eve dinner was a stroke of genius and the owners of La Bonne Vie are to be commended for thinking about the adults during Christmas time. One of the many fine parts of the dinner experience was the "quiet" in the restaurant. The joy of having a sumptuous meal with your loved one in a place with the proper ambiance cannot be overstated. We cannot wait for our next dinner at La Bonne Vie!

This place NEVER disappoints! Crab dip is always immaculate! The burger is to die for and the truffle pasta is still on my mind hours after leaving! Will always highly recommend this place.
