    Vida offers a beautiful decor and ambience. Interior design was exceptional. Service was excellent. Our waiter was gracious and personable. Food was inconsistent and pricey. Croquetas and shrimp al ajillo were very good. Roast chicken was tough and tasteless despite the accompanying sauce. Duck breast was OK but skin needed to be more crisp and less fatty. Black mashed potatoes were pasty and tasteless. More conventional potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes would have been preferable. Basque cheesecake was very good. Main entrees were much too expensive--$40 for roast chicken and $55 for duck breast. I dine out weekly at high end Westchester restaurants and these prices are out of line. I also want to point out that the restaurant menu prices did not seem to match dollar-for-dollar the prices on my final bill. Vida should check their computers to confirm that the prices on the bill are identical to what is listed on the menu. I could not want to spend time on this at the restaurant as we had to leave. I would also suggest that the Vida website menu should show prices. In this day and age most people will find this as not being open and transparent. Overall we had an enjoyable evening but things need to be improved to warrant another visit.

    This was my third visit to Vida. I absolutely love this restaurant The minute you walk in You feel excited. The staff is very attentive and the food is delicious. We sat at the bar where Nick the bartender made us his famous LULU drink. Can’t wait for the rooftop opening
