Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus, and the staff were warm and helpful in walking through the menu. It is the kind of environment where you can relax, settle in, and let the food be the star. And the food really does shine. The meat platter was loaded with juicy, well-seasoned cuts that made it a challenge to finish in one sitting, though I happily tried. Empanadas were crisp and flavorful, and the sides tied everything together nicely. Portions are generous across the board, so you definitely leave feeling satisfied. This is a place to come hungry and curious, because every dish feels like a little celebration of Colombian flavors.

I called the restaurant and a person tells me that they close at 8:30 pm but that they really close at 8 pm because they have to clean to leave at 8:30 pm exactly. What a bad service!!

Waiter gave me a menu, came back in about a minute, and I was not ready.....then I waited and waited, about ten minutes, before he came back. He was the only worker in the front-- so he was waiting, ushering, cashiering, the whole operation, and it got busier after I had come in. Second, no alcohol. Not a deal-breaker but a beer with good food is nice. Menu is one for all- no real separate lunch menu. So for many items, youi are going to be paying $18-$28 for lunch. I got a dish that was area with cheese and eggs, and said clearly eggs of your choice...but I was never asked. Also got one side empanada. The empanada was the best thing, but it was TINY, I mean like 3 normal size bites. Flavorful and fresh; if I did go here for lunch again, I'd get a plate full of them. The arepa was very thin, so not a full tasting of the gritty cornmeal taste. Cheese on top was bland (I should have known) and then just scrambled eggs on the side. OK, and filling, but BLAND. I would go back for dinner and try the fancier steak or seafood dishes, if I was in that area.

Party of 4 on a Wednesday night. Very nice decor (grade A), but the music was too loud -- hard for…read moreus to talk to each other. Server Ethan was eager and very good, if a bit inexperienced. For appetizers we ordered meatballs (4) which were tasty and the smoked guacamole was really very good. Mains were good -- beef rib was excellent, hanger steak was very good, beef medallions were very good. Sides -- not so much. All were flavorful, but over-cooked. Maybe this is Latin American style, but not what is common for American restaurants. As a person who has eaten in great restaurants in big cities as well as a lot of good restaurants in cities all over the country, overall, I'd give this restaurant 3 1/2 stars. It was a Wednesday night, so I'll visit once more on a Friday or Saturday to see if they pop up a notch.

The album literally just dropped, and he had it queued up upon entry. Truly was an amazing experience based on that factor alone. Our waitress Sheree was also very kind. The crab dip appetizer may have been the show stopper of the night, as our table ordered two of them. We really enjoyed the beef empanadas, and the brussel sprouts were tasty. I can not forget the delicious mezcal cocktail I had to wash it all down. We had a great time at Vida!
