   The food was great. I especially liked the maple bourbon bacon wings. The setting was beautiful with a great view of whiteface. The hostess and server did a great job. I recommend this place to everyone that wants to go out for a good night out. The price was also very reasonable along with a generous amount of food.

   Excellent meal and experience. Adjustments they have made to staffing, menu and service are paying off. Highly recommend.

   The perfect ski lodge vibe! Amazing space that brings you back to the 70s, just without the bell bottoms and bad hair. Bar area was great, and the ping pong and pool table provided some competitive apres dinner fun.

   Had a 7:00 reservation got seated right away that ma the highlight of the evening. For 20 minutes we were not acknowledged at all. No bread , no water , nothing !!! Decided to go to the bar to get drinks. The bartender was way over her head , the taps weren’t working. Finally got drinks sat back down another 15 min go by and nothing. Started hearing people around us talking how they didn’t get their meals , got food at different times , waiting forever food and check. Finally we decided to leave and go to the Hungry Trout where we got food and great service. Don’t come here !!! It’s a disaster !!!

   It is clear that New Vida has some kinks to work out in the staffing area, the staff is friendly, but runs from almost non- existent to clearly understaffed and stressed during busy dinner/ cocktail time. The atmosphere is a home run and menu selections are good. My husband and I both had to send our dinners back, initially. They gave him the wrong meal and my fries were stone cold and toppings on my burger were wrong. However, it was only a few minutes until they corrected the mistake and dinner was enjoyable and delicious. I could see that, in general, people were having trouble getting drinks and served in a timely manner. I would give it another try. For us, the good outweighed the bad, but they need to figure out staffing, in general.

    A cool spot with some live music at the bar. The food was ok, the pork chop was the best thing on the menu. The service was seriously lacking. An iPad for ordering would have added more value than our server.
