I've been going to this restaurant for years. they are among the best. Unlike some of the restaurants, the dishes taste the same every time I go.
Aaron, the waiter is outstanding. he's friendly, smiles all the time, refills water, coffee without being asked.
Ask to sit at his table. guarantee to have tasty food w/great service.

La Vie offers classical French cuisine at very reasonable prices. I always start with the escargot...the butter garlic herb sauce goes great with the bread. I love the duck, and occasionally they'll have a trout special, which is splendid. To top it off I get the souffle with Grand Marnier...just heavenly. Please note, it's located in a non-descript place, and the decor could use some...

So we heard about this French restaurant in the San Gabriel/Rosemead area and we thought...no way! We've been driving to Burbank and Pasadena for the last 2 to 3 years for French food (from Rosemead...that's a bit of a drive). Then recently we found out that this cute little place in Pasadena (Crepe Vine Bistro) can't serve hot foods anymore because they had another fire..so disappointed : - (...

I eat here once a month and it never disappoints me. The atmosphere is quite and private and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table for two. It's very different than what I expected the first time as it is in a small lot that seems odd for a restautant, because of this when you go for dinner all the other businesses are closed so there is ample parking.\r

Wasn't too impressed by this restaurant personally, since I have the expectation of it begin some cult-like, indie French-Vietnam fusion cusinie. On the bright side, it didn't come with the typical French-Viet fusion cusinie price tag (read: Michelia). Corkage is $8 and their wine list is okay.
