The place is definitely smaller than I expected, which probably explains why reservations are a must. The ambience was beautiful good vibes, good music, and a really friendly staff. The drinks were great, mine were strong , and the food was solid overall. My strip steak was perfectly tender, but it could've used a little more seasoning like salt. The mashed potatoes were slightly cold, but it balanced out because my salmon was piping hot. The highlight for me was the birthday moment where they came out with a huge sign and sparkler to sing, which made it feel really special. I'd probably come back again! It's just far from where i live.

Great thank you for making my husband's birthday special, The guy that was my server last was extraordinary, he's great at doing his job. Thank you for your service and your patience.

Food is amazing! a TAD pricey but 100% worth it. they did a birthday celebration free of charge which was also amazing, overall just a good experience would 10/10 recommend.
Emily

Roy

This is an amazing spot honestly the food and the ambiance are amazing. If you're looking to spend some money this is definitely the spot. The food is not cheap and you can tell by the quality of the food. Very flavorful. Lobster Mac and Cheese is a must buy I had it with the strip steak. The only thing that made it a 4/5 was the chairs they're a little uncomfortable but I assume most people are sitting at the booths instead.

I go to the store in Astoria almost every day to get a toasted croissant, and they’ve always cut it in half before toasting it. Today, when I went in, the cashier told me I’d have to pay the “with butter” price (even though I didn’t want butter) just because I asked for it to be cut in half before toasting. So next time, can I just ask for the croissant before it’s toasted, cut it myself, and then hand it back to be toasted? Now they’re charging extra just to cut bread in half??? Can someone explain this to me? Overnight, they can’t cut bread in half anymore? Does it really cost extra just to slice bread???

i normally don't leave reviews but after the night i experienced i had to. Horrible. we had reservation for a birthday celebration and were excited. upon arrival, we were immediately treated with disrespect. As it was a celebration, everyone was dressed in formal attire but we were questioned about our attire, despite other patrons being in sportswear. we were finally seated and the customer service was extremely poor. We were treated as if we should not have been there.We had to ask for the bare necessities. As some of the people in our party were young, they were overlooked. The food was mediocre at best despite a long wait to be served. food was maybe a 3/10 and that's being generous. We couldn't leave that venue quick enough. we promptly asked for the bill and we were treated as if we could not afford the bill. We were shocked as we all had cash and immediately paid. i will never be back and if i could give 0 stars i would. They messed up a special day and I will never be back. if you like horrible service and discrimination, this is the place for you. ** 100% will not recommend. save your time and money

I had an absolute blast celebrating my birthday dinner at Vida NYC with my girlies! 🎉 From the moment we walked in, the vibes were on point – super fun and welcoming. They have this awesome birthday flier deal where you get a complimentary appetizer and dessert, which was such a sweet touch (literally)! Our waiter Bryan was incredible – so friendly, attentive, and truly made the night special. He even surprised us with birthday shots, which totally got the party going! 🥂 The food was amazing – flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. We were all raving about our meals and how good everything tasted. Huge shoutout to the Vida NYC team for making my birthday unforgettable. If you're thinking of celebrating something special – or just want a great night out – this is the spot. 💃🏽🎂✨
