Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The service was great. The food presentation was beautiful, but the taste wasn't quite there for the salmon, mashed potatoes or brussel sprouts, not much seasoning. But everything else tasted great. The fresh bread with butter was very yummy. The desserts were very yummy also. Location of this place was great, right on the beach. You could sit inside or outside and enjoy the sunset. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a nice view to eat on the beach.
Breathtaking view through Laguna Beach Park onto the ocean. Overall experience was great. The service and the food were good except French toast we did not enjoy. The California omelet was really that’s tu as well as orange juice. Beautiful location, one of very few places that have patio overlooking the ocean and the beach.
Really enjoyed the food and service here. The atmosphere is cute. The desserts are luscious. The only problem I had here - and it’s a big one - was the family sitting behind us. We were outside. It was a Sunday afternoon. The family consisted of about 4 or 5 adults and one toddler. The lone male was obnoxious. He treated his server poorly. He complained about how long the food took. Then he complained about the child’s food. The server asked what was wrong with the child’s food. Answer - it’s just macaroni and cheese. The server constantly tried to make everything better by groveling to this awful family and then taking a good portion off the bill. Instead of being grateful for the experience of being able to eat at a restaurant in a quaint town the family was ungrateful and privileged. Maybe in their country restaurants bow to every complaint someone has because they own a Gucci bag but not here. I’m also disappointed that the restaurant allowed all this complaining. They should have simply taken off the child’s food amount and taken the dish away and brought them the check. These are not good patrons to have, especially around people like me. I felt terrible for the server.
The place has some French vibe, desserts looks delicious but they are not. Eggs were ok but French toast was imposible to eat. Disgusting! No flavor and chewy fat from what French toast is. I ended up eating a piece of bread with strawberry jam and this was a lot better. Service was average, the waiters are Mexican and they use bad words while there are customers around and since I’m Mexican I didn’t like to hear the conversation from the employees. Prices are expensive for what you get! Disappointed!!!
Taste :3.9/5 Environment: 4.3/5 Service：4.2/5 If you're looking for a cute and picturesque brunch spot in Laguna Beach, C'est La Vie is worth a visit. With its charming pinky interior and the opportunity to enjoy a great peak of Laguna from the outdoor seating area, it offers a delightful ambiance. While the food may be in the average range but you came here is for the view.😝 You don’t ask too much for the food
