This was an extremely disappointing and overpriced meal. My steak was extremely chewy and the garlic mashed potatoes tasted like they were made with stale processed garlic. The best thing on the plate was the overcooked green beans. My wife's meal was just as bad. The cheese burger rangoons had no cheese and were extremely greasy. The chicken was okay until she got to the jerky side, the rice pilaf tasted very old and the cauliflower tasted like it was made with fake lime. Finally, the crème brûlée, the custard was very overcooked and the brûlée was blackened, not caramel colored and crisp. Extremely disappointed, it wasn't worth even half of what we paid for it. On top of that , the service was subpar at best. read more

The service was Great!! My food was hot and it was a large portion. Allison the manager was personable and follow-up after my food was served. After having a long day at work, I came into the bar. Matthew had a customer that was rude. I watched him handle it very well. I thought the service and food was great for my week work trip. Convenient located in the Double Tree Hilton.

I knew it might be a challenge finding vegetarian foods in Omaha, home of steak. In fact, there is nothing vegetarian on the menu at Vida. However the waitstaff were willing and able to modify the southwest salad for me with no chicken. (I did get charged full price however.) The salad itself was tasty with the chipotle dressing being very yummy with a good kick. I was bummed to have my water given to me in a plastic cup. The staff were quite busy and I would say likely understaffed. I appreciated that the menu contained calorie information. The ambience itself looks fairly updated and modern. read more

Spent the night here on the way to Denver, were hoping for a nice dinner at a decent restaurant, unfortunately they didn't have the staff needed to open the kitchen. Although, they had some sandwich and deli options available and the bartender was sublime, creating makeshift drinks on the spot with quality liquor! We had a great night, thanks Tyler! read more

Vida Lounge & Restaurant - a drink and a cucumber - Salad Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Holy cow. I've been traveling 3 weeks / month for about 20 years. This was the worst experience I've had in that time period. Waitress greeted me when I walked in. She invited me to sit anywhere. Restaurant was about 50% full. She proceeded to help two other customers that were seated after me.. one sat about 10 mins after me. I had to go to the bar for a menu and a request for water. Another 10 mins later I recd my water. Ordered a basic cheeseburger. After 45 mins of waiting for the cheeseburger I was told my plate was up next. 30 mins after that statement I inquired about my food? They were cooking it next. 20 mins later I left. I get it. People are not working. Service is slow because employees are overworked and doing their best with limited resources. I've worked in restaurants. I tip well for sometimes not great service. This was horrible. Other customers overheard my complaint and chimed in that there service was bad too. Hats off to the bartender that communicated and tried to get my food from the kitchen staff multiple times. Finally. I am not "one of those" customers. I sat patiently and waited for my food. I dislike the Karen's of the world. I will not be back to this restaurant. And may not stay at the hotel again. If you have time on your hands give this place a try. If you want to eat within 2-3 hours, I suggest you eat elsewhere. read more

Only had the breakfast buffet here, but wow was it impressive. For only $10, it's all you can eat and the selection is so good- eggs, potatoes, granola, fruit, yogurt, pastries, and so much more. The décor is nice, and the wait staff is just wonderful. Great coffee too! I'd eat here even if I wasn't staying at the connected hotel. read more

I stay at the Doubletree whenever I'm in Omaha and I frequent Vida a few times on each of my stays. On my most recent stay I had gone down to Vida about 3 times and on my 3rd had a GREAT server name SAM. He was awesome. Very personable, tentative and always checking in on me and how I was doing. Even told him a sweet story about my grandpa who's now passed and the little Andes mints you get with your bill and he brought me back a handful of them which was really nice. I usually get the Omaha hot chicken sandwich but this visit whenever I went to vida , I got the Omaha hot chicken strips with fries and it was amazing! Great flavor and nice juicy chicken tenders! All in all, great service and great food! read more

Food and service was very poor. Waited 20min for drink, and another 20 to take our order. Goto Burger King instead.

Vida is the new restaurant located in the new DoubleTree Hotel on 72nd & Grover. I had stopped in a month or so ago to take a look at the menu. It was fairly basic mexican food, and what stood out in my mind was the 3 crunchy tacos they had for $5. Decided to finally stop in to try them. To my surprise the menu was entirely different, in fact the waitress said it was their 4th menu since they opened. The 3 crunchy tacos for $5 now changed to 2 "puffy" tacos for $10. They also added in many other food options such as meatloaf, reubens, pork chops, brisket, shrimp, etc. All over the board food items. The restaurant is kind of divided into two areas. One area was completely full of diners. It appeared to be some type of special event. The side we were on was fairly full as well. Our waitress was awesome. Very quick to attend to us considering in addition to waiting the guests on this side of the restaurant she was also running room service!! Ordered a margarita that was very tasty! I decided on the brisket tacos with pickled onion. While the pickled onion was interesting and I kind of liked it, I did not like it on my taco. The brisket was chopped into little pieces and appeared to have been fried resulting in dry chewy chunks of brisket. I didn't eat much of it. My dining partner opted for the "puffy tacos" which to our surprise were made out of fried pita bread. Not sure if they fried it too long but it honestly had no taste and basically crumbled when taking a bite. To me it just tasted like fried burnt bread. They came with rice and beans, and I thought the beans were creamy and good. The salsa that came with it had little taste and little spice. The restaurant itself is very nice so I may come back to try something else, or maybe I'll wait for the 5th menu! :-) read more

Absolute garbage, the bartender is rude, I was told that they serve food until 1030, only to be told once I went down that the stopped serving at 9 o'clock. At that time it was 9:12 PM and the fact that I called ahead, and I was told when I checked in that they were serving until at least 10:30 PM is absolutely unacceptable. My wife and I are diamond members with Hilton, I have reached out to the general manager, and I will be reaching out to his regional manager in order to get to the bottom of what the hell happened this evening, which has left me and my two-year-old without supper based on, either, erroneous information, or deliberately misleading information I order to fill rooms. read more

Had a voucher for breakfast (that I paid for with my room), thinking the convenience would be helpful. Buffet style COLD food that was tasteless. I didn't even realize this place is described as a southwest grill. Southwest of what? The intersection? I asked for salsa or hot sauce to heat up my food with spice since the temperature was south of room temp cold-and was given Tabasco......certainly they could find a food manager that has a bit of understanding of what their menu should taste like and even look like to indicate a southwestern genre. I think the servers could have cooked better food. Maybe the rest of the menus is better, however I'd not consider returning after this first impression. read more

We ate here for our trip to the zoo since our hotel restaurant was closed. We had a great waitress I don't remember her name but she was very pleasent. The food was good and came out quickly. The soup tasted like hospital soup however everyone else's food was amazing. The place was very clean and very nicely put together. If we go back over here we will for sure eat here again I just won't get the soup. read more

Wonderful food and great Staff! Go check them out today. The restaurant is located at the Holiday Inn Southwest Omaha on 72nd and Grover right off the interstate read more

We stayed at the DoubleTree Hilton on our way from eastern Illinois to central Nebraska and found this perfect bar for a few craft beers. After a long day on the road, Vida and Misty, the most knowledgeable bartender I've ever met, made for a perfect end to the day. This is a new bar and restaurant and well worth the stop. read more

Vida Lounge & Restaurant - Great craft beer selection - Salad Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

It is a hotel bar and restaurant so expect the prices to be accordingly...but as hotels go not bad. What I like is the menu variety...not your normal kind of blah selections. I dined here two of my 4 nights at the hotel and was pleased with my dinner both nights. The breakfast buffet...very nice. read more

Leo and I just had a wonderful dinner at Vida on 72nd and Grover. I had the tilapia and it was great would highly recommend trying it. The chef made us chocolate covered strawberries since it was Valentines. read more

The bartender, Andrew, saved them a star. He was fun & put my Royals game on the main screen after some persuasion. The food was not good. One star for ambience, 2 for Andrew & 3 for good ranch dressing. I actually ordered the chicken tenders kid's meal and the chicken was so obscenely salty. I appreciate appropriate spice but damn, it was brutal. I choked one tender down & tried another but it was a no go. Fries were "meh" & sauces were on point. But if you have nothing to dip in them, pretty pointless. From what I hear, everything is very new so keep working on it. read more

I came in for breakfast after breakfast had ended. Sam was the server, and made every accommodating. Awesome breakfast and excellent service.if you think the price is to high. Grow up. It is a Hotel. That is there cost of doing business. read more

Vida has been fantastic each visit! We have been a few times now and have received friendly and excellent service each time. I absolutely love the atmosphere. It is a great place for a date night, to meet friends or to take the family! On our last visit I ordered the chicken kabobs with rice and beans. You cannot go wrong with this tasty plate! I would order it again for sure! My children ordered the chicken strips and fries. You never know what you are going to get when it comes to kids chicken strips, these are seriously some of the best! We also tried the Queso dip and chips for an appetizer, it was great and something my kids also enjoyed. The prices are very reasonable. The drink menu is full of selections with delicious margaritas and a great happy hour! I did notice that the menu had changed since our first visit but that is expected with a new restaurant. I love that they have some American classics on the menu too! Will definitely be back! read more

I have gone to Vida several times with different people and each item I have tried has been fantastic. Love this place--not the norm for Omaha!! read more

Stopped for breakfast. Great selection of breakfast foods available and eggs made to order. Great service and clean, charming facility

The one star is for the waitress only. Food was absolutely awful. Hotel restaurants are always expensive so I expected that, I didn't expect to leave after spending $42 on a dinner I hardly touched. Au gratin potatoes were swimming in a pool of grease deep enough to see my reflection. The ribs were a rack of barbecued fat. I ate there to avoid going out in the snow and cold and couldn't regret my decision more. Couldn't even enjoy the $7 mediocre at best beer read more

Saw this and have been wanting to eat there. Stopped in last evening and walked in. Saw a few people at the bar and on the other side no on e was in there but the waiter. Just kept staring at my husband and I not smiling or saying anything to us. Went over to the bar tender and my husband asked her if this place serves food? She said yes. and went back to talking to the people at the bar. Rude Rude Rude!!! This place will not last the way they run it. I read the other reviews and saw where the manager told a customer that this is the fourth time they have changed the menue. Really?? That's good advertising for this place! Read that the food was not very good too. Won't ever go there and will let all my people not to waist their time. read more

Adventurous menu, good staff, nice ambiance. I'd probably stop here again even if I wasn't staying at the Doubletree .

Atrocious service. Our waitress was dreadfully slow, didn't seem to care about getting us ANYTHING. There was a hair in my food. The food wasn't even hot. read more
