As usual, outstanding food, attentive service, energetic ambiance on a Saturday night. The noise level was high, making table conversation difficult. High praise for halibut, scallops, and sole meuniere.

We were seated, as requested, in the patio area. The patio was quite full and the wait staff was attentive and workinggn hard to accommodate everyone, The food was excellent and the wait time was not unusual. Overall a very positive dining experience!
Established in 1998, Bistro Vida is a neighborhood restaurant inspired by the great Parisian bistro culture and traditions of French cooking. Our mission is to bring the joie de vivre, comfort, and community of the City of Lights to downtown Menlo Park. The name " Vida" the Spanish word for life, was chosen as a toast to the enjoyment of life, love, and food. Each delicious detail of the chic interior from the smart bar to the blackboard menus, the huge cylindrical chandeliers to the long mirrors reminiscent of brasseries has acquired a warm patina over the years.
