    Amazing location, great view, great food, and prices less than you’d expect for where it is.

    Hello! It was great to return to Mi Vida at The Wharf! The food and ambiance were superlative. The view from our table on the second floor balcony was superb - one of the best views of the Marina. Nisa, our waiter, was the best - she gave us excellent information about menu options, she was friendly, fun and efficient, plus, she made our dining experience very memorable.

    Fun meal out before a show at the Antem. Staff was very flexible with our reservation as I had to change the party size and then move the time when we got stuck in traffic.

    Felt they didn’t let us choose what we wanted, my parents came for my moms birthday they don’t eat much but because we got the brunch menu they forced us to get entrees when we weren’t hungry. We just wanted drinks and apps…it was jazz fest I got a free coke on the way there and they made me throw it away because it wasn’t something they served…I felt like I was being forced out when they came to the table to tell us about our reservation. I felt it was like a nanny state restaurant that will take your money, and give you all the rules to make you uncomfortable. I didn’t enjoy my time and won’t go back. Another Knead restaurant that sucks

    The service was excellent. The Manager was delightful. We were celebrating my birthday before a show next door and it was a great venue to accomplish that. The food was very good. I do plan to go again — soon!
