Reviewed by Tony

Date/Time:
Lunch Friday 23rd March
Restaurant:
La Vida
Booking:
Not essential, but recommended at night
07 5447 4611
Where to Find:
11 Hastings St. Noosa

Parking:
On the street. Parking can be a pain

Service:
Delightful, friendly young staff. "Joe" our waitress was working by herself, but it was a quite day so not too busy. She suggested I try the Mango Chicken salad.

Presentation:
The food is beautifully presented, absolutely fresh. The salad was well balanced with dried tomatoes for the acid effect balanced with the sweetness of the mango, however the grilled chicken was just that grilled chicken with very little favor. It was not bad it's just they could have done much more with it. Perhaps a light marinate in white wine and Soya ( the wine just to kill a little of the salt of the Soya ) The cheese board was excellent

Wine List:
Reasonable. Not huge all at Noosa prices ( expensive )

Value for Money:
Prices very reasonable for meals of this quality. There were some sea food dishes I would like to try next time.

Ambiance:
Very clean and minimal with REAL white linen table cloths. Very good touch. Alfresco Sidewalk dinning also available

The feel good factor:
It was OK but not great. Would I go back ! Yes. It was good value, the service was good, the atmosphere was good. The food was good but could have been better.


( It would have been 4 with better food.)
