    Very disappointing experience. We booked a table (not outside) a while ago. When we got there we were brought to a table in an outside area that was enclosed except one huge panel was missing. It was cold and rainy and buggy. When we asked for a new table we were told it would take an hour. After speaking with the manager we were moved. Our server was not friendly or accommodating. Overall it just was not a good experience. Food was ok but nothing special.

    Literally the worst meal I’ve ever had. The Lobster Al Pastor was not fresh and sent me running home. I am less than an hour out writing this review. Don’t make the mistake I made. Mediocre service, overpriced meal, and a gift that has been giving for the last hour…details not wanted. Trust me, keep walking! No run past the place.

    Yum! Loved the guacamole with shrimp and crab. Don’t be afraid to order a Cabernet, very good. Chocolate cake was Devine.

    The wharf is kind of chaotic and the restaurant fit the mood, but a seat outdoors was pleasant and the food and drink was good.

    We had a great experience dining at Mi Vida! Our reservation was honored promptly, and we were seated right on time, which set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable evening. The atmosphere was vibrant yet welcoming, and the food did not disappoint—everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. From start to finish, the service was attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a fantastic meal and a great night out. We’ll definitely be back!
