Bistro Vida is the most wonderful neighborhood restaurant with a real French "bistro" feeling inside and a big section outside for outdoor dining. The moules mernieres (steamed mussels) are the best I have had anywhere, and I have them for comparison in many other restaurants including in Seattle, Cape Cod, etc. The salmon is also excellent, along with the pork loin, shrimp salad. Wine and liquor selection is varied and reasonable too. The owner has also opened a "late night" bar next door called Loretta's with a great atmosphere and you can order food from Bistro Vida .

Very pleasant environment. We had a drink on the patio in front, which was heated by a warmer. Inside seemed a bit loud. Wait staff was very accommodating and pleasant. We didn't actually eat so I just pressed a random star to get past it. It's a little costly but I'd definitely return.
