Bistro Vida - Bistro in Menlo Park - 641 Santa Cruz Ave, USA

Nice neighborhood French restaurant we stumbled upon in downtown Menlo. The bistro style food is solid and service nice. We enjoyed the brunch with well done steak frites. Prices are a little on the high end but in line with the area.

Divine!!!! We were seated promptly with outdoor dining. They have indoor and outdoor dining available. We had a perfect view of the NBA playoffs while we ordered and waited for our meal. From the greeter to the servers, the service was fantastic! Drinks and appetizers and the Burrata Salad were out very fast! Then along came the entrees, I had the pleasure of eating the Boeuf Bourguignon, and let me tell you! The beef just melts in your mouth! The carrots and mashed potatoes perfectly paired the dish the hearty dish. We also enjoyed the New York Steak and Filet Mignon it was all excellent! We can't wait to come back and enjoy more of the delicious offerings here at Bistro Vida!

I would like to start off with food is amazing!! So so good! I was a little bummed that I ordered a well done steak and I got a medium well… being that I am pregnant I am not allowed to have anything raw or barely uncooked. So, we called and went back. The owner took very good care of us after that! He re-did our steak and gave us brand new meals. Thank you! that was great customer service. No restaurant is perfect, it’s the way things are handled when things get mixed up and they handled it very well. It was worth the wait. I enjoyed my meal. You won’t regret coming here!

We visited this restaurant after reading reviews online. The day we went the place wasn't busy. First we ordered our drinks and our appetizer. The server asked if we wanted to order our entrees but hadn't decided yet so we requested for him to come back. He eventually did when our drinks and appetizers were all done which to me was strange. My husband ordered his steak medium but got more well done than he wanted. But my beef bourguignon was excellently cooked with lots of flavor. And the portion was great for the price. Overall a good place to have lunch.

We had a fabulous time at Bistro Vida. The ambiance is spot on- you really feel like you're in a Parisian cafe. The food was excellent and our waiter Diego was awesome. We're just in town on business but will definitely come back when we are in Menlo Park again!

My wife and I ate her this evening at Bistro Vida for the umpteenth time. Everything was so good that I thought it deserved yet another review. I had the Mahi Mahi fish special. My wife had coq au vin. Both meals were phenomenal. I chose the Bordeaux Red to accompany the meal, another great choice. The service, the whole experience was just plain enjoyably

Fantastic place to have brunch, excellent service, and great staff. The food is lovely we eat the onion soup and the croquet madame, the sorted bread and fantastic coffee. If you are in the area, please visit you will not regret

Just the blueberry goat cheese on the cheese plate earns this place five stars. I mean it's that good. But everything else is excellent as well. The prime rib was tender and juicy. The mashed potatoes were fluffy. Our server was affable and took great care of us. The manager was present and added an extra emphasis on customer service. The decor is dark reds and wood finishes, romantic and chic.
