La Grande Vie (CLOSED)

For those nights when you want to pretend you live a fancy life in a tony Gold Coast high-rise, allow us to introduce you to this violet-glowing bar and lounge on the ground floor of the residential Chatelaine building. Between the classic cocktails, Italian wines by the glass and restaurant-quality dishes (including a juicy lamb burger), there’s a lot to like—but if you’re anything like the clientele, all that matters is the room is quiet enough for conversation.
