    We had a good meal but putting 6 adults in a booth is just not thoughtful at all. I know it was done to give the server a table and he was a great server, but we hated the table!

    "First time dining at Buena Vida and it was an excellent experience! The restaurant is lovely with a great atmosphere, but not stuffy. The food was delicious (wonderful paella); our server Chloe was the best, answering all our questions and making great menu suggestions. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the manager on duty, Ivana sent us a round of champagne for the occasion; very classy! I highly recommend Buena Vida and will be back."

    The service was exceptional. The young lady that helped us was knowledgeable about each dish we asked about. The support team helped any customer, whether they were assigned to that table or not. The food was good and we would go back again.

    The food was delicious but the best part was our waiter, Preston, who was amazing. He was always ready, very attentive, had great recommendations and helped make a great weekend even better.
