    Some of the food was great and some was just fine. It was a busy brunch time and I’m a generally understanding customer, but the service was less than stellar. We had one bottle of water for a table of 7 and no one coming to check on us (maybe because we had to ask for tap water when only bottled waters were offered??). Two main course orders at our table were messed up - one the completely wrong thing and the other came with the sauce on top when it had been ordered without the sauce, and of course they had to wait while the rest of us ate. Ambiance is lovely and we had a really nice table. The prices are very high (it is on the wharf, of course). So, it’s a mixed review.

    Celebrated our anniversary here. 3rd floor seating overlooking the wharf! Wonderful wait staff. We tried the shareable dinner for two, it was amazing! Great flavors and enough food for two big eaters! Great job!

    Disappointing experience given all the positive reviews that led us here. Dined with a friend & our 2 vegetarian teens. Guac was excellent. Shrimp tacos were average at best. Waiter was useless & uninterested in assisting with vegetarian options for the teens. Sadly, kitchen can’t make a simple cheese quesadilla so teens only ate beans & rice for dinner. Vegetarian choices are limited. The location & decor are beautiful but that’s not unique to eating on the Wharf. We will go elsewhere next time. Mi Vida was not special.
