Bistro Vida

Very good, authentic food with good sized and well plated presentations - the strengths are the appetizers and entrees, all traditional bistro fare. The mussels were large and fresh and swimming in a light, delicately flavored broth. My coworkers raved about the onion soup too. I had the poulet roti which was perfectly cooked - fall off the bone tender, accompanied by superior, thin cut pommes frites and fresh steamed mixed veggies. My posse all enjoyed their entrees, especially the beef bourgignon and salmon (FOTD). Desserts were good, not great - generally a bit too sweet for most, the exception and overwhelming favorite being the Tarte tatin (apple, with vanilla ice cream). Service was friendly and attentive and turnaround time on the orders just right. Prices seemed moderate and fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I'd definitely like to hit this place up again for a relaxed dinner, avec du vin next time for sure.

Friendly service and good wine! Came for a birthday party. The steak frites was alright but I’d recommend the beef bourguignon.

Great food and ambience. Perfect for the special occasion.

It was a Monday night and it restaurant was packed. The food was wonderful and the staff attentive even with it being a full house. The owner was kind and helpful, direct but with a smile offering excellent selections. I would come again. Even if I do have to fly from NY.

A delightful place, the food and staff were terrific and my wife loved the atmosphere of the place. I had their daily special, a lamb shank, which melted from the bone. My wife had the scallops and they were perfect. A bit pricey for us as a regular stop but well worth it for those special outings.
