   Great food; a decent Mexican that isn't all tacos and burritos. Menu was great but the cocktail list was underwhelming. Only real let down was the erratic service (servers clearly doing their best but needed another member of staff or need to change how they run things) but the place has only been open for a week so I'm sure they'll iron out any issues soon. Will definitely return and keep fingers crossed for improvement.

   Went to Vida for dinner tonight and it was delicious!! We had a range of different dishes with the highlights being the chargrilled corn and the cauliflower taco. We all opted for non-alcoholic drinks and was thrilled to see some different options on the menu - highly recommend the spiced orange soda. Such a good atmosphere, you’d never know it had only been open a few days. The staff were lovely and very attentive! We are looking forward to coming back for happy hour!

   The food was lovely, we tried 4 different dishes and the squid and fish tacos were really tasty, overall a little more flavour or spice on the side perhaps would have made it perfect! The service was very good, not overdone but thoughtful and friendly helpful service. The presentation of the food was lovely and colourful and the ambience was great, had a great feel and a really good vibe, we sat at an outside table and washed it all down with a nice bottle of pinot, not overpriced. The prices were affordable and not over the top, really appreciated that! Overall I was really impressed as not even open a week so was very good and I am certainly looking forward to my next visit!

   The food was incredible. So happy this isn’t a “nachos/burrito” Mexican. It’s the best Mexican restaurant on the coast. Modern, flavoursome, delicious. Cannot wait to come back!

   Our group of 4 dined at Vida on their 4th night open. We were super impressed by the margs and thought the happy hour was a great deal! There are plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. The food tasted very fresh and we felt like the pricing was fair and on par for the area. The only reason I have not give 5 stars was due to the service. However, this won't stop us from going back and giving it another go.

   Will definitely be coming back, Food was amazing. I was seated inside and there was a few flies bothering me from keeping the door wide open. I was not greeted with a menu I had to get up and find my own, however i will not hold them against the waitress (they could be still learning). Workers were really nice and welcoming. Definitely good prices I got 2 drinks and 2 plates for $40 and walked out completely satisfied. For the quality of the food and came out super quickly and fresh. Amazing.

    They only opened yesterday so hopefully things will improve. The food was unseasoned and bland sadly. No condiments to help either. Sad to say very disappointing. We only had tacos so can't comment on the balance of the menu.
