Was visiting Indianapolis from NYC for a short 30hr stint and this place did not disappoint. The service was great and made us feel like we were in no rush & could enjoy the meal at our own pace. Ambiance by the fire was amazing & food was delicious! 100% recommend! :)
Wonderful dinner (4-course variant)
Nice selection of choices within each of the four courses
Preparation/execution was top-notch. Aromas vibrant and distinctive on every course. Quite generous portions
Tartare was flavorful and tender
Fried chicken thigh was crispy and juicy
Ribeye slices were tender, wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked
Doughnuts were light, fluffy and wonderfully sauced
Bottled wine selection is extensive but pricey - hard to find bottles under $120. Wines by the glass, however, are very nice and much more affordable. The seasonal cocktail specials were outstanding
Server was friendly, efficient and informed. Lovely atmosphere
Overall, an outstanding experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Our first time dining here and it was amazing. We tried both the fixed menu with wine pairing and the 4 course menu, so we got to try just about everything. Food and service were impeccable. Highly recommend!
Celebrated an anniversary here and it was also my first time dining here. The detail was amazing and the service was impeccable. The cauliflower dish was so delicious and the desserts were amazing. Will visit again! Also the drinks were delicious!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed dining at Vida for my birthday dinner. Not a single thing we didn’t like. Our waiter, Tim, was super personable, took his time explaining the menu items to us, and even shared little stories about his life and the restaurant itself. It is a great spot for special occasions. Expect to spend a pretty penny, but the food and cocktails are to die for and the ambiance is stellar. No deafening noise or music drowning out conversations. The four course option was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had.
Had a great time meeting a long time friend there for my birthday. Tim, our server, was knowledgeable, and easy going. The food was amazing to say the least. If you're willing to try the foie gras, the husk cherries are divine. In general the staff are extremely personable, and honestly, Vida would be my first suggestion for anyone looking for a nice restaurant downtown.
My wife and I have been twice now and have been extremely pleased both times. The atmosphere and staff are wonderful, and the food is top notch. We really appreciate the slow rollout of the courses, giving a lot of time to enjoy each dish and have conversation in between. Cannot recommend enough! I would especially recommend going when they are offering special limited time menus like they did for this Christmas Season.
Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Indy. I came here so many times ...,whether just by myself, chilling with friends or celebrating something...
I took off one star because with the newest menu they changed something about the foie gras which I didn't like..it had the weird smell that never had before... (mind you we are big fan of foie gras, we ordered this every chance we could at every restaurant we go so I know what good foie gras is like)
I always finished all the courses I ordered, even had room for desert (the donut is totally to die for), except last visit I left the foie gras haft way finish
Everything else we ordered was good. The new shrimp dish was great, i had no complaints.
Considering how much I love this restaurant, I will give it a try again
It was a very different experience than I expected. A friend of mine recommended it and even though it's waaaay outside my price range I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, hospitality from the bartenders and the hostess I will likely go back.
From start to finish this was a very wonderful experience. The environment was relaxing and comfortable. We chose the 7 course meal option, and every course was superb. Thomas our waiter was very helpful but not overbearing. The food came out in a very timely manner and the pacing of the meal was perfect. The duck breast was the best we ever had, and they were very accommodating with my dairy restriction. I would recommend this resturant to everyone and can't wait to go back myself.
