    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!

    As always service was excellent. Arugula salad very tasty. My lobster ravioli was very good but a bit rich for me. I should have chosen something else, but that is on me and not because the dish wasn't very good. Wife had the Festa di Mare. They did offer the Cleopatra but that is a lot of food (we have had before and will have again - but not tonight). Also excellent. Finished off with Tiramisu which is one of the best if not the best around.

    Yet another lovely evening celebrating the holidays at chez Francois! A Christmas tradition in our family; we look forward to it every year and are never disappointed. Indulge in the Christmas specials (the Wellington is to die for), and enjoy the festive and perfect service and atmosphere. 10 out of 10!
