New Vida Preserve Restaurant is located in the re-imagined former Paleface Ski Mountain Lodge and now the largest resort in the Adirondacks at 2000 acres. It offers stunning views of Whiteface Mountain. Enjoy a creative menu that includes American Classics with a twist combined with bold globally-inspired flavors. You can dine in our Grand Dining Room, our Craft Bar area with live music or our more casual Billiards Lounge, all with stunning view and beautiful architecture. The expansive & diverse menu, the sensible pricing and feel-good vibes make NewVida a place where you can gather in with friends and family regularly for a memorable Adirondack experience. The restaurant is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm to 9pm. Come in early and enjoy a drink at our handmade craft bar, lined with skis from the Preserve’s former life as a ski resort or take a stroll after dinner around our romantic pond & dock. Reservations are preferred, but walk-ins are always welcome.

    A cool spot with some live music at the bar. The food was ok, the pork chop was the best thing on the menu. The service was seriously lacking. An iPad for ordering would have added more value than our server.

    The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The space is open and nicely decorated. Our table of 4 had 2 burgers and 2 flatbreads. The food was delicious but could have been hotter when it arrived to the table. I recommend the 9 napkin burger. The “Trouble in Bloom” was a wonderful handcrafted cocktail-not many like this in the area. We will be returning soon!

    Improvements in service, quality and overall experience were evident. If you were here in the fall, give them another try now that they are fully staffed again.

    The food was excellent we will definitely be coming back regularly! Our waitress Sarah B was great! Even though there was a band in the bar area we were able to talk and not have to yell. Lighting was perfect!

    Normally very good. Significantly understaffed Thanksgiving weekend and it showed. Waitress did her best and was left to apologize for slow, cold and overcooked food.

    Service was painfully slow. Took over an hour between us getting our salads and our entrees. When we asked for some bread, rolls and butter to tide us over during the wait, were told, "we don't have any" Seriously? Our waiter Sam was very apologetic about the wait, and even offered a comp glass of wine.
