A few of us in Indy for a business meeting. I was casting about for a good restaurant that wasn’t yet another chain steakhouse. Found Vida online, figured it was worth a try. We were blown away. this is seriously good cooking. Deep wine list, very knowledgeable staff & somm. Highly recommended.

My husband and I enjoyed the Chef’s Tasting menu with wine pairings. The experience was fun because we began to interact with tables on either side of us who were enjoying the same courses. Food and wine do bring people together!

Vida is without a doubt my wife and my favorate restaurant in Indianapolis. We had the tasting menu and all four courses were outstanding. My wife is not a vegetarian but she had the Veggie tasting and loved it. The service is the best and the staff knows the menu, as they describe all the items. Certainly not for people on a budget, but well worth it

All of the courses were prepared to perfection. The wine pairings were absolutely perfect as well. I do wish the portions were a bit larger because everything was so delicious it left me wanting more! Thank you for the personal touches regarding my wife's birthday as well. We will definitely be back.

From the reservation to the final valet interaction, it was one amazing experience. We had Amira reach out ahead of time to ask about our expectations and other dining accommodations (allergies, etc). When we sat down, we were warmly welcomed by all of the staff that would be taking care of us through the night. Alex was an amazing waiter and sommelier. Rest of the staff was amazing. Crazy that this place exists in Indianapolis.

One of Indy’s best. If this state had Michelin stars, Vida would have them. Always fantastic courses and service. The foie gras is insane. Cocktail menu always has at least one winner for us. Always end your meal with the ricotta doughnuts!
