Cafe La Vie - Saint Louis

In for a wedding- had some extra time and so we had some drinks and an app. The drink menu was pretty extensive and the small plate was very good! We had an excellent bartender- super personable and welcoming! It really made our stay at Le Meridien.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here and had the most wonderful experience! The food was great, the ambiance was nice, and the staff were spectacular. Many thanks to Ray who served us, you are the best !

Our entire experience was amazing at Cafe la Vie. We typically don’t write reviews however, my wife and I are from Kansas City and were appalled by the service we received on 10/27/23. Not to mention we came in right at closing time and the manger..I think his name was Elijah, even reopened the bar to accommodate our stay. We will be back!

Randomly selected the restaurant looking for somewhere new to try in Clayton. Was not aware that the restaurant was inside the Le Meridian hotel rather than a stand-alone. May have explained why only four tables occupied at 6pm on a Friday night. Limited menu but dining room has a very modern decor with large bar, bright lighting, televisions and appropriate background music. Probably a great place for a business lunch, but not if you're looking for a dimly lit date night location. Our server/bartender Niko was very pleasant. With the perceived lack of volume, we avoided the off-menu seafood “special” and stayed safe with a burger and chicken salad on croissant. Both were very tasty and to temp, but took a great deal of time to arrive from the kitchen. Parking validated at Front Desk. Would return only if staying as guest in the hotel.

Soups are made from scratch and are delicious. Mark of a good restaurant in my opinion.
