I walked in with my family on Sunday Feb 11 at 4pm and the employees tell us they’re closed… meanwhile their hours posted on Google state they close at 7pm. Not coming back.Edit to my original review:Super bowl Sunday is not a holiday. Rectifying your business hours online is YOUR responsibility, not the customer's. You and your response to your mistake are disgusting. We'll gladly take our business to your competition and we'll gladly not recommend your trash establishment to anyone.

Staff is rude as can be. I overheard them talking terribly just because I asked to take the waters back. Our waitress had an attitude every single time she interacted with us. This place is nothing special but oh boy does it think it is. There is no real vibe to this place except for your overused standard Eiffel Tower and black stripe decor.Putting a 20% mandatory tip when we were their only customers and also not stating it anywhere on the menu or in their establishment says exactly who they are. I was just exhausted from a wedding and didn’t want to deal any longer with people like you so I let it be. You’re entire staff seems displeased and disinterested in working there from your “chefs” to the waiters. What a relief to leave your wannabe Parisian cafe and restaurant!!

Cute BLD & crepe spot. BYOB. We stumbled upon this cute place after not being able to get a table at any of the local eateries with bars. All day BLD. Many people were getting crepes which looked yum! I got the short rib grilled cheese which came with a small salad and cup of tomato cheddar soup. I also ordered fries and so glad I did, as they were perfec! I love a REAL hand-cut fry! My husband got a cheeseburger with the addition of mushrooms and onions. It was cooked properly, and he said it was good. Came with fries. I think he was disappointed not to grab a beer, and I get it, but it was yummy, quick, and comfortable!

Nothing with your area but for the joke about not being allowed to leave somewhere or have brunch from this states plate work I had to give a New Jersey "brunch" spot one star for how many times the old ladies say they're inbred to me for the exact same thing I would be doing.

I just visited Ce La Vie for the third time in a year for Sunday Brunch and the food, music and overall vibe of this place is like no other. It’s such a great place to let your hair down, dance and hang with your girlfriends and be home before 3pm. The DJ and Avery, the hostess extraordinaire both set the tone for an amazing time!

If you have not been to Sunday Brunch at Ce La Vi - YOU MUST GO! The food was delicious, the service was great and the music had us dancing for hours non stop. Avery is the hostess with the mostess! She gets the party going and is the ultimate party host! Grab a group and get your brunch tickets. Best time ever!

Great brunch spot. The atmosphere reminds me of Brooklyn. The food is consistently good and service too. Their kids menu is also pretty good - saltier than ideal but not as bad as most places.Kid-friendliness: Their kids' menu is actually decent.
This is the second time this happens. I thought it was an honest mistake that I ordered a specific crepe and I got half of it. I didn’t get the extra toppings I ordered I requested and paid for. But, still charge for it! I don’t think it’s an honest mistake anymore!! Shame on them!! Specially since I was the only customer there!!

I do not recommend the crepes. The ambience is non-existent. The staff seemed disinterested in working there. Overall, our dining experience at Cé La Vi was very disappointing.

This place was a just okay. I say that due to the fact that I recently came here with my daughter and I was more hopeful for just the drinks, very descriptive hot chocolates and coffees, but they were not up to par with their menu descriptions. The coffee I ordered was the caramel coffee drink; it tasted very sweet, very light and far from buttery caramel. Next, my daughter ordered a Nutella hot chocolate and she said the marshmallows were way too sweet, plus the addition of a chocolate syrup, and minimal Nutella in her cup. We both thought the coffee and hot chocolate could have been a lot better. The prices were closer to $7 per drink. Now for the food items, which scored better. I had a breakfast sandwich and my daughter had scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and toast. My breakfast sandwich was fresh, the cheese was good and the size was great. It was served with a side salad. Their ambiance is nice, but there was an odd smell upon entering. I also wanted to not that they should have some sort of background music and even a light snack for the table, something that is welcoming and warming for a new customer. I would continue to explore other businesses.
