The ambiance at night is nice and dimly lit. Great menu and nicely priced. There's currently a 3 course special that comes with a salad, salmon, tiramisu, and bottomless wine for $60! It's definitely worth it. The goat cheese spread tasted great with the salad. The salad also comes as a big portion. The salmon was huge and perfectly moist. I got the foie gras on French toast. It had the perfect amount of salty and tart sweet flavor with the blackberry-cherry sauce. It comes as an appetizer, but because it's so good, I don't recommend sharing since the portion is so small. I got the spicy seafood pasta, and it was amazing! It had the perfect amount of spice and it comes with a hefty amount of seafood along with a whole big lobster tail! The shrimps that it came with were also huge and there were plenty of calamari and octopus with the pasta. This dish was such a great deal with the portion and the amount of seafood it came with. My only complaint is that they can lighten the amount of fresh basil they put in. I highly recommend! Last, we got the creme brulee, which comes with orange biscotti. It's a shareable portion, and perfectly sweet. Our server Zoe was also amazing! She was super friendly and answered all the questions we had with the menu.

The only thing that bummed me out (but not even enough to take off a star) is that last time I went to Peppermill -- a couple weeks ago for my birthday -- my group kept trying to order drinks before the happy hour ended but the cocktail server kept skipping right past our table on her rounds. By the time she got to us, 25 minutes later, the happy hour was over and she said she couldn't honor the price as a courtesy. So that kinda bummed us all out a little bit, but we still had a good time and enjoyed the food and the ambiance.

We have dined there in the past and have always sat at a table but we came in on a whim and there was only bar seating, which was fine. But the girl bartender (Annie??) was extremely mean and rude to us for some reason. We were polite, didn't complain about anything, didn't ask to modify our food at all and left over 20% gratuity.

The guy with the braids and Frank were awesome and the Sommelier was really cool and was passionate about his wine list. My fiancé and I are both industry vets and we understand that sometimes you aren't always in the best mood but this felt oddly personal. Again, we have no idea what we did wrong. The food was exceptional. Some highlights are: Oxtail hummus: The best hummus I've ever had and the oxtail was cooked to perfection. Oysters: we did half and half of both options and they were both great and super unique. Banh Cuon: Usually made with pork, they use duck and it is awesome. The sauce should be bottled. Octopus: Perfection on a plate. Passionfruit dessert: So, so good. Perfect way to end dinner after some spicy elements in the food. Pandan cocktail: One of the better drinks I've ever had.

A Rockstar Dining Experience at Vida Restaurant! Step aside, Hollywood! I've found a place that knows how to treat you like a bona fide VIP, and it's Vida Restaurant in the fabulous Fountain Blu hotel in Las Vegas! As soon as I strutted my way to the hostess stand, I was greeted with such enthusiasm that I half-expected a crowd of adoring fans to start chanting my name. The service was like a well-rehearsed concert, hitting all the right notes from start to finish. Bravo! Now, let's talk about the food. Oh boy, did Vida deliver! The dishes were not only delectable, but they were also served in portions fit for a superstar. Each plate was presented with such finesse that I couldn't help but feel like I was about to embark on a culinary red carpet. But here's the real showstopper: the service. The waitstaff at Vida were like our personal groupies, genuinely invested in ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. They took the time to understand our preferences, provided helpful recommendations, and made us feel like we were the main act of the evening. Talk about star treatment! So, if you're looking for a dining experience that will make you feel like a true rockstar, head over to Vida Restaurant. You'll be treated like a VIP from the moment you arrive until the final encore. Trust me, the only standing ovation you'll want to give is to the incredible staff at Vida. They deserve all the applause! Rock on, Vida Restaurant! You've won my five-star review and a permanent spot on my culinary tour. read more

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Vida. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming, and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. The food was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Every dish we ordered was delicious, and the menu offered a great variety of options. The presentation was impressive, and it was clear that great attention was given to every detail. What truly made our visit special was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing excellent service. We never felt rushed, and every member of the team made us feel valued and appreciated. From the food to the service, and from the ambiance to the hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. Vida was one of the highlights of our stay at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and we will definitely return the next time we're in town. read more

We had a pretty disappointing experience at Vida. The service was painfully slow, especially at the bar where it took 30 minutes to make two drinks and they "forgot" two others entirely. When the drinks finally arrived, they were a bit watery and underwhelming. The food didn't fare much better, bland and lacking any real flavor. The only pros were the stylish decor, which really sets a great atmosphere, and the front staff, who were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the experience. Definitely not in a hurry to come back. read more

We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.

Crab egg Benedict - generous and fresh crabs with porches eggs with the hollandaise sauce, light but delicious.

And based on the first three letters of the restaurant's name, it had to be outstanding, right? First, this WAS a 3 Michelin Star restaurant in 2008-2009, but Michelin no longer rates restaurants in Las Vegas (they should). With that being said it's a AAA 5-Diamond which I guess also means good. I don't know what Firestone or Car and Driver thinks of this place, although the latter would probably not love it since it's not a BMW. All joking aside, if you consider yourself a foodie, then the 12 Course Menu Degustation is a multi-course bucket list item that's somewhat attainable. I've read horror stories of booking other high-end eateries, but take a shot here and you may get lucky. They happened to have a ton of reservations the week before Christmas, so we were lucky. I will say if you're doing a wine pairing, you may not want to get a cocktail beforehand when you're waiting for your table in the lounge. I had a Gin and Tonic and it was huge and blew away the Ultimate G&T by Jose Andres. But the wine pairing with the meal is a LOT of wine and you'll be tipsy unless you're a descendent of Oscar Wilde. Once the experience begins, you'll be amazed at everything that's happening. Service is impeccable with multiple staff members tending to your every need. I'll say even if you think you may not like something, try it and you might surprise yourself. I never truly liked any caviar before eating it here. With that being said, beets are still beets no matter how you slice them. :) It's expensive, but totally worth it in my opinion. I think they have other dining options besides the extravaganza deluxe, but I didn't really pay attention. It was also a phones away event (my idea) for full enjoyment, although a few dishes were so beautiful I was tempted to reach into my pants... for my phone... to clarify. There is a dress code so be sure to comply. For guys, I would recommend a jacket or a tie with dress pants/shoes. For ladies, I'd recommend micro-skirts and crop tops, but I don't think they do... so a nice dress or blouse with appropriate pants/shoes would probably suffice. I was totally blown away and it was definitely the best tasting menu I've experienced... and I've been to Carrabbas's Wine Dinner!

Being one of the few Michelin starred restaurants in vegas I figured we would be in for an incredible time. Customer service was about as exceptional as you would hope it would be. The woman seating us did inform us that where we were sitting does typically experience a draft and might be cold, and that they had accommodations (likely a jacket or similar). She was right it did border on uncomfortably cold, however we just tolerated it. The rest of the staff was great, they explained things well, were quick, kept our counter area clean, and our drinks filled. No complaints here. The restaurant itself feels similar to alot of other higher end restaurants with the very dim almost dark atmosphere, it was clean and well kept. Prior to arrival I did not know we would be sitting at a bar style counter which was most certainly not the vibe I was looking for to celebrate with each other, as you are seated right next to other people on either end and the bar counter feels very cramped once you get dishes coming and going. We did not care for this setup, it was said to be this way as an experience watching the kitchen staff prepare your food. From our seats and angle mainly the only thing we could see was the one guy whipping the potatoes all evening. We had ordered the 9 course tasting menu for $255 per person. I requested the seafood to be substituted which they were able to accommodate, she ordered hers as it comes normally. The first thing we received was the bread, which despite looking very aesthetic it felt like nothing more special than anything you would receive at a mid tier chain restaurant, and there are some chains with bread I prefer over this. First course was a layered foie gras foam, I know this is strong but we both absolutely hated it and felt it set a terrible tone for the meal. Second for me was a take on a salad tomato with guacamole and other veggies with a sauce, her second was a small glass with caviar and lobster, these were both fine. Third was a corn themed soup that I found to be very good, the presentation, and flavor was top notch. Her third was a friend wonton type of langoustine. She said it was good but nothing special. Fourth up for me was a soft boiled egg with cheese crisps, and for her a scallop in some kind of sauce or foam, she said this was the best course of the evening. I thought mine was boring, bland, and underwhelming although it looked nice. Fifth was a foie gras ravioli for both of us, we both disliked this dish. Sixth was quail legs stuffed with foie gras for me, and a salmon or branzino dish for her. They told me mine was a house specialty, I thought it was bland, under seasoned, and generally unappealing. Again she said hers was good but nothing outstanding. Seventh was the main entree, you get to select this from a choice of 3, we both picked the ribeye. I understand this is not a steakhouse but for a main entree at a Michelin restaurant, it was disappointing to say the least, meat was on the tougher side and undercooked from how we ordered it, the flavor was good though. The famous mashed potatoes had an insane texture but the flavor was mediocre just tasting like a stick of butter. 8th and 9th were the dessert courses, first was a tart cherry sorbet, and second was a complex yuzu ice cream dish. She really enjoyed the cherry tart one, and I thought the yuzu one was the star of the entire evening. I would return solely to get that, it was absolutely spectacular. We were gifted a trio of little pieces slice desserts, all three were good but not as special as the yuzu dessert. The final thing we were given was 2 macarons to go. I ended up thinking the macaron was my second favorite thing I ate all night. It is a shame we spent as much as we did for my favorite bites to both be desserts. Also after leaving she had mentioned that it bothered her that none of the dishes were hot and only room temperature at best, I did not notice until she had said it. In summary for as much as we paid, there were very few standout dishes, and we both left fairly disappointed having had just a few good bites of food while sitting at a cold, and unpersonal bar to celebrate. Maybe it was an off night but with prices like this, that to me would be unacceptable. Most of the dishes we had felt unimpressive, bland, and just relatively uninteresting, the most interesting thing about some of the dishes was the waiters ability to memorize the descriptions. If you have money to splurge on things like this frequently, I would recommend you try it as your experience may be better than ours. However if this meal is an extremely special or once in a lifetime type of meal, I would unfortunately recommend you find somewhere different.
