The flow and vibe of this restaurant is very efficient and relaxing. Interesting menu selections. I feel the tomato-cucumber salad was presented like a sample not a full salad portion. The black bean burger was cooked well, but the bread seemed much like a club warehouse store find, very high in carbs-not diabetic friendly. The navy bean soup tasted very good, may do better with a tad less salt for customers with high blood pressure. Very large serving of soup, which puzzled me given the tiny serving of salad.
I will give Let's Eat to Live another visit. Maybe for breakfast. The staff was super friendly and I want this neighborhood spot to be successful.

What a lovely surprise! I was in the area between meetings. It's hard to find restaurants that offer healthy options that are tasty and reasonably priced. This one check all those boxes AND tops them off with excellent, friendly service. I'm not in this area much, but I will be sure to plan my meetings so that I can stop here again. I had the garden salad with salmon , which was PERFECTLY cooked, navy bean soup that had a nice kick without being too hot, and carrot fluff...which I'd never had before but is good enough to be a dessert! Highly highly recommend this gem!!!

We came in on a Sunday afternoon and ordered the falafel and hummus (good presentation but the falafel could have been more flavorful), the salmon fataya (delicious), Jamaican beef pattie (flakey and scrumptious), smoked wings (solid), chicken Caesar salad (chicken grilled to perfection & the homemade croutons were fire!), escovitch red snapper w/ coconut sweet rice, mustard greens w/ smoked salmon, & carrot fluff (a complete hit! Nothing missed), and the butter garlic lamb chops with Mac and cheese and garlic Brussels sprouts (also a good choice but this batch of Brussels were really salty). So overall our first visit was a success and we will be back! Our server, Nakiah was really sweet and attentive. The space was clean. The art on the wall was nice. I had never had “carrot fluff” before but I’m an instant fan. I’m very happy to have a place like this in our neighborhood.

Everything was sooo delicious! I tried the snapper, Mac, Brussels sprouts, carrot purée with the coconut rice. 😋 My friend had the blackened salmon, with mash, green beans and Brussels sprouts as well. 🔥 The chef came to check on us and made sure I got some fresh creamy Mac and cheese. The owner ( my loc sister) was good spirited and gave us insight on what goes into the business. We will definitely be back, keep up the good work. “Let’s eat to live”
Oh yea, the chicken Jamaican patty is 🔥 too!

Omg!! This is my first time here and it will not be my last!! From the warm greeting at the door the beautiful atmosphere 😍 I knew I was in for a treat, came for a quick date night we started with the navy bean soup which was delicious I can eat that everyday 😋 We had veggie patties my first time having that and it was so good. My boyfriend got the lamb burger which was fresh from the veggies to the patty it was delicious. I had the BBQ chicken that was divine I choose the garlic mashed potatoes string beans and carrot fluff so so good! I can't wait to go back, if I lived closer I would be here breakfast, lunch and dinner 😋.

The food is absolutely amazing! I went in this past Thursday. I ordered the red snapper with mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and carrot fluff. For dessert, I had the red velvet cookies. The flavor, quality and portion sizes of the food are top tier. Not to mention, the service level is great! I believe her name is Carmella. She greeted me as soon as I came through the door. She offered great suggestions for food pairings. I have nothing but compliments for this restaurant. The atmosphere is bright, warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. I'll definitely be back.

This place is really nice. The artwork, the calm wall colors and the comfortable seating makes it welcoming. The server, Wedad, gave us good recommendations. The lamb was tender, the asparagus had the right amount of crunch and snap. The Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. The Brussels Sprouts were too vinegary for my taste. The hibiscus tea was delicious but don't drink too much if you plan to take a long drive.
