Vida Indianapolis Reviews from The Last Year
I was blown away by this place.
Excellent service and quality of food. Maybe the best restaurant in Indy.
On 2nd visit, still had a great experience.
Excellent value at less than $300 for 2 pre fixe 2 exceptional dishes (Ricotta donuts, Cauliflower appetizer with raises) 2 great tuna appetizer, squash pasta 3 solid dishes with two salads and a chocolate that was overly cherry 1 execution miss with overcooked red snapper. Kind service, it was my birthday and it really felt celebratory.
Always a great experience at Vida.
Service is top notch. I always leave full and happy. Best restaurant in Indy. Plus I love their bathrooms!
Every dish off of the tasting menu was absolutely
Every dish off of the tasting menu was absolutely incredible. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes, but get the ricotta doughnuts for dessert!
A beautiful experience start to finish.
Every detail mastered. Food insane. Service top notch

Obviously a fancier spot with a hefty price tag but you
Obviously a fancier spot with a hefty price tag but you should know that coming in. We've been a few times for special occasions and during Devour because that's the only times we can afford it haha. If you participate in the chefs tasting, it is definitely an experience. I think we were at the restaurant for 2.5-3 hours before we got through all the courses. They may seem like small portions but after you've had a few courses, you definitely start to get full. These small bites also pack a punch in terms of flavor!
I have to say this was one of the best dining experiences
I have to say this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. I decided to host a birthday dinner with 6 of my closest friends. I made the reservation well in advance through the messaging service through Vida's inquiry message. I heard back and set a date and time. The only problem in hindsight was not booking a table for one more person than I was thinking at the time. I ended up with 6 other guests which Visa can accommodate nicely, but the night before I was informed that the original time had been booked for a party of 7 already. I was confused. In setting up my reservation I was told through email that if my party went up to 7 that they could pull up a chair. That was not the case. It was a misunderstanding on both ends. Luckily everyone in my party were accommodating and were able to make a 5:30 time instead of the planned 6:30 turned 6:45 reservation time. Honestly this was a big blessing in disguise as we were at the restaurant from 5:30 to around 8:30 pm. The restaurant also made up the misunderstanding and quick time change. The GM came over to introduce himself and apologized for the tension caused. A round of bubbly was provided on the house which was greatly appreciated. Honestly the service overall was wonderful. Our server was absolutely lovely! He was attentive and knowledgeable. Our table stuck to the 4 course meal. I started with the smoked ora king salmon. It was delicious! I was a bit unsure about the mustard yogurt serviced with the salmon, but I had nothing to fear! I cleaned the plate! For my second course I got the grilled octopus. The presentation was gorgeous! I can say not immediately seeing a long tentacle on the plate was nice. I really liked the broccoli served with the octopus. For my third course I got the gulf of Maine scallops. As a scallops lover these had me salivating. They were well seasoned and a large size. The plating was of course gorgeous. For dessert I got the chocolate torte. I loved that they made my dessert a little extra special for my birthday. It was a lovely touch. Before we got our first course we were served the pineapple wonton small bite. It was very good. After the first course I believe we were served bread. There was a sweet carrot spiced bread and a garlic butter bread. They breads were moist and almost a bit spongy in the best way. A note about the restaurant is that I appreciate that they pay attention to the small details. They sent me a message the day before which is how I found out that the reservation time would have to occur. But the message asked if everyone was over 21, if we were celebrating anything and who, and if anyone had allergies. Our server also inquired about allergies after we were seated. One friend is allergic to shrimp which wasn't in the kitchen. My cousin is pregnant so the server made sure to air on the side of caution by bringer her doughnuts out without the bourbon maple glaze as the alcohol isn't fully cooked out. Another friend is allergic to alcohol which we didn't think to point out at the start. But the server was kind and took her doughnuts back to bring back a plate without the bourbon maple glaze on the doughnuts. This was a lovely attention to allergies that I haven't seen to this degree before. Another small detail was when someone left the table and left their napkin behind someone came by and folded it nicely before placing it back on the table. I've seen this done at Tony's in St. Louis, and it was nice to see here. Water was constantly topped off. Our server was always floating close by if we needed anything. The attention to little details was just nice. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect at Vida since it was my first time, but I was delighted at the experience. I also like the rotating menu and that there are ways to have different experiences. The chef's tasting is another option. And a wine pairing is also optional with that option. We were also informed that if four courses is not enough or is too much a plate can be added or subtracted. Honestly the four plates was perfect. Don't let the small size deceive you. By the end I was well satisfied. It's a quality over quantity restaurant. Everyone who was dining with me left happy with the idea of coming back again. I certainly know I'll be back as the food and overall experience was very good.
I've been to Vida several times and the food has always
I've been to Vida several times and the food has always been excellent. Service has been mostly very good also. What the servers might lack occasionally in polish, they've made up for in genuine effort. The main area of the restaurant has a classy feel, the secondary upper level room is just ok- it struggles to feel like something other than an obviously converted large second story bedroom.
I never have expensive meals - but this one was totally
I never have expensive meals - but this one was totally worth it. The food - just delicious, buttery and smooth. The scallops, I nearly died. The grilled octopus - juicy . The chocolate torte - rich. The service was so organized and kind. It's truly a one of a kind experience. I was at a table with other coworkers and they treated us nicely. What a great way to end a Friday.
Amazing food and service
My daughter and I had no idea what to expect when we arrived. We both did the four course dinner so we could try eight different dishes. Everything was perfect. The food was amazing and the service couldn't have been better. Our waiter was really helpful when we had questions and did a great job of being present without being overbearing. I appreciated the fact that each time they brought out a dish they explained what each ingredient was. Overall, it was a great visit. We can't wait to go back!
Our best meal in Indiana, top three in our lives
My wife and I had their tasting menu last night and it was one of the best dining experiences of our lives. In fact, every course was at or near the pinnacle of like dishes for both of us, something we established after three courses when my wife exclaimed, "that is the best scallop I've ever had." Our server, Thomas, explained why the scallops were only seared on one side and how we might reproduce at least that element of their preparation at home. Best tuna we've ever had: flown in each day and sliced by the head chef. My wife and I are both sushi lovers and tuna is our favorite fish, so to find fish of this quality in Indianapolis was an extremely pleasant surprise. The fattier piece would literally dissolve in your mouth. And while I can eat nigiri of that quality all day, the accompanying beet, cheese and cherry added truly unique elements to the dish. Best lamb we've ever had: well-seasoned and served medium rare over a house-made mushroom ravioli. My wife, who typically avoids mushrooms, thoroughly enjoyed the ravioli and even at the large pieces of lightly-fried chanterelles that surrounded it. Best zucchini bread and focaccia we've ever had (and we have spent many weeks in Italy), both being moist while respectively firm and airy the zucchini bread was the appropriate density and was moist without feeling undercooked, and the flavor of the apples made it, as Thomas rightly described, more like a cake than a bread. The tomatoes served with burrata were incredibly flavorful, and they were grown in Cunningham's greenhouse on the south side of town. The herbs that seasoned that dish and several others were grown in the restaurant itself, on a "green wall" just past the front desk and adjacent to the kitchen, which I found myself observing after going to wash my hands. The wagyu steak, while not my favorite cut of beef, has only been bested by a couple of specialized steak houses that we have been fortunate to patronize. I cut perhaps the smallest pieces of steak I've ever cut (aided by the provisions of a sharp, non-serrated steak knife), savoring each bit of the delightfully tender and flavorful meat. Thomas mentioned that, if on our next visit we were particularly hungry, that we could request a double portion of any of the proteins, which may be the move for those who skipped lunch. The capriole cheesecake was, again, the best I can recall, with a lovely flavor and what I consider to be the perfect texture for a cheesecake. The perfectly-ripe berries that accompanied it looked like something from a magazine and tasted as though they were straight from the garden. The dish was lighter than I expected and was the perfect finish for a summer dinner. Presentation was meticulous, and the staff was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional while also very personable. Thomas made excellent drink recommendations and, seeing that we were enthusiastic, explained some of the "why" behind what was included in the tasting menu. In sum, the experience was exceptional, and easily the best meal we have had in Indianapolis. The only two meals that clearly surpassed this one in our memories were Alan Wong's in Honolulu (now, sadly, defunct) and the original Bice restaurant in Milan. I said to Thomas after our meal that I would gladly eat that entire meal again *at that moment,* a comment that I first uttered at Bice four years ago and one that I don't make lightly. This will be our special occasion dinner spot for the foreseeable future.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
