Life Bistro

I had a decent experience dining here, but I wouldn't do it again--I recommend takeout. The food was tasty and definitely worth coming back for. My one issue is, if you're going to call yourself an "upscale" vegan restaurant, then I expect an upscale experience. The restaurant is not upscale at all in terms of the environment or service in my personal opinion. Cloth napkins don't make you upscale.

The food is pretty good but highly overpriced especially for the amount you get. I paid $27 for HALF of a vegan Philly. My friends fried oyster mushroom poboy was also $25 and only half of a sandwich. So you’re paying double for half the food. And please don’t try to tell me that it’s just the standard cost for getting healthier food because that’s unequivocally false. I’ve been vegetarian for over 5 years and have eaten at many vegan and vegetarian restaurants and can tell you this is not the standard. This place is located in an area where there’s not too many healthy food options, so I’m willing to bet that is factored into their prices. I love supporting black owned businesses but I can’t support price gouging. The Cajun Mac and cheese? Looks NOTHING like the pictures. Doesn’t come with the melted cheese crust at the top. The noodles are small and not regular macaroni noodles. It’s flavorful but wasn’t what we were expecting. It’s $9 and it’s also lacking in quantity for the amount you pay. The kale salad is pretty delicious, I like the topping they put on it and the dressing they use. The fries are your typical fries that you would get from anywhere else. Honestly the best thing I’ve ate from here is the sweet and spicy fried oyster mushrooms. They’re fried perfectly and taste delicious. The sauce it comes with is delicious too. This is my second time eating here, the first time I did delivery and my order was missing items like the vegan Philly egg rolls and I was given a regular water instead of a sparkling water. Definitely felt like I wasted $100. There’s better places to get the best bang for your buck $ and has an all vegan menu, that also offers delicious fried oyster mushrooms so I won’t be going back to this place.

Very good black-owned vegan spot in Atlanta - and yes it is fully vegan. The food was good and they had a very good variety. This was my first time trying konjac and it is a really good lobster substitute (I used to love lobster). The collard greens were also very good. It's a winner. I'll be back.

Customer service was awesome. My sister and I ordered a few dishes to try. Sorry about the bad photos, but anyway, we ordered three appetizers: the first was the zucchini fries and they are made fresh and not frozen, and next we tried the lobster fondue which was delicious but they don't give you enough pita chips, and the third was the shrimp skewer and this was really good also, & it actually tasted like shrimp from the grill. My entree was the blue oyster po-boy which was good but I think it needed another layer of flavor outside of the cheese sauce. I also ordered the collard greens as my side and they were okay, I like mine sweet. My sister ordered the sliders and she said they tasted pretty good but the bread was a little hard. Overall this was pretty good vegan food and I would like to visit again to try more dishes.

I loved my experience today. It was my first time trying this restaurant. As a non vegan, i will say that the food here will definitely give you the experience of eating some of the foods that you may be used to. The service was great! we dined in and the server was attentive and very helpful. She answered any and all questions that we had. Super sweet and nice. And did i mention the food was bomb!? Definitely try the brunch!
