Tim, our waiter, was outstanding. He had fantastic recommendations and we greatly appreciated his expert opinion. Everything on the menu was delicious. The first course carrots were the favorite of the night with a rich and complex flavor, seconded by the squash tortelloni. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience. I'll be sure to share this with Tim and the rest of the team. Best, Jared May General Manager, Vida

We went to the restaurant with friends from out of state. I think it's safe to say everyone was well satisfied. The food was really good and our waiter, Alex, was very helpful and most knowledgeable. Alex said he wanted to insure we would be satisfied - and he did. Outstanding dinner!

the full, fixed price menu with 6 or 7 courses was creative and delicious! we opted not to do the wine pairings as found several individual bottles off of the well-curated wine list that were uncommon, highly regarded, and fairly priced. next time we'll try the wine pairing option, though, as there were many neat and appropriate wines!

Vida catered to my wife’s gluten free and diary free needs for her birthday, even with the designated tasting menu and wine tasting! They tweaked the dishes just right, and I’m pretty sure I saw the sommelier check his notes and pulled a wine just to pair with my wife’s dessert. Will dine here again!

As usual, our entire experience was amazing. This time, Alex was our server and truly he was one of the best servers we’ve probably ever had…anywhere. He was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, you name it. We took my parents as a “welcome to Indy” treat and the typically particular two of them were blown away. Vida has become our go-to celebratory dining experience and I don’t see that ending anytime soon. Thanks again!

The food is exceptional. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy with exceptional staff from the time you pull up to the valet parking to stepping in the main door, we're always greeted with smiles and welcome! We love the open kitchen to the green wall and look forward to the vibrant, delicious, one of a kind tastes that we know are coming from the chef and sous chefs each time we visit. If you are looking for a cozy, romantic, individualized experience, we highly recommend giving Vida a try!

Disappointed in the wine list. Some higher end wines and not enough to choose from. The Dunn Vineyards did not meet expectations for a 2018 vintage. The Sommelier defended the vineyard, however, he could not recommend a second bottle of wine for the table to meet our expectations. A little too stubborn for a Cunningham staff member.

Took my girlfriend to Vida for our birthday dinner and was pleasantly surprised at every step. From the moment we walk in, the unique herb wall is apparent next to a busy and vibrant kitchen. The service was top tier and our menus were customized with our names and occasion. The food was phenomenal and left us speechless at points due to the tremendous flavors. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.
