We had a great time. However right at 9 pm. I think this is where happy hour started. the music was turned up to a level that we could not talk normally at the table. it made us want to leave earlier than we would have liked to. We asked the server and she indicated this is normal. I would recommend keeping the restaurant music levels the same as it was before 9 pm. Otherwise we had a very nice evening.

My wife & I would give Vida Cucina Italia 6 Stars, if we could! The 5-Course Winter Menu Tasting Dinner with wine pairings was an absolutely epic dining experience! We enjoy fine dining on special occasions, and we had been eager to visit this restaurant… so when we saw that this special tasting dinner was on my wife’s birthday, I immediately booked a table! From the moment we walked in the door of the hotel Wednesday evening we were treated with the highest level of service by every employee of the Fort Garry Hotel, the Oval Room Brasserie, and Vida Cucina Italia whom we encountered, plus the bartender was great and made us delicious cocktails, our dinner server was terrific, and we thought the attentive, friendly sommelier was outstanding! We enjoyed every course and pairing so much that choosing a favourite is a difficult task, however I find myself still dreaming about that Il Falcone wine, and my wife insists she’s never tasted such delicious scallops! They even dressed up my wife’s dessert in celebration of her birthday, which we know many fancy places won’t do, so that was a nice touch. My wife and I were trying to get a photo together in the hotel lobby before we left, when one of the Vida staff offered to help, and she got some of the best photos of us that anyone has ever taken of us! Thank you for the most special evening… we will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone we know!

The bison carpaccio and moules frites were excellent. Our waiter was professional, knowledgeable and very nice. I had asked for a quiet, romantic table after a spa treatment and the host kept a prime window table free for us. The room is gorgeous, prices were reasonable and I learned what a 'pot Lyonnais' is. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Beautiful space!! We loved the vibe and our food/drinks! Keep it up!

Food was good, but took just shy of an hour to be served.
