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.

    Thoroughly enjoyable with excellent food and ambiance. The waiter was excellent; great service while not hovering. My birthday announcement in Open Table was ignored and the music, a delightful surprise on a Thursday night, was a bit too loud. Can’t wait to return.

    After giving the server mild ribbing over the soft serve “swirl” actually not being a swirl and that the cookies that normally accompany not present, the manager came by and offered some cookies that had been set aside (baker was absent that day) and to comp us the non-swirl swirl. We accepted the cookies and declined the comp, but it was a GREAT gesture!
