Enjoyed our dinner , croquettes were amazing as were the meatballs on the tapas menu. We both had the galcian chicken , very tasty. We shared the Spanish version of crème brûlée with our cappuccino . The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We did not get to go upstairs for the lounge, but I’m sure if it’s half as nice as the main dining room you’ll enjoy it. The only problem was finding the correct door to go in, which happens to be in the parking lot and does not have a sign . the restaurant has a sexy vibe and a beautiful bar. The employees were very pleasant. We will return.

Service was slow on a not very busy Sunday evening. We shared the croquettes however at $16 a bit steep for 2 pieces, My wife and I met another couple there and 2 persons ordered tacos, pork belly lacked flavor and was tough and chewy, Taco special (pork) was okay, Seafood Paella good however I prefer some meat in it such as chorizo or chicken like most places serve. Salmon was good, the portions a bit small considering the $$$.

Vida was packed last night. 💃🏻 This is a brand new restaurant in Thornwood by the talented husband and wife duo at Augustine’s in Mamaroneck… Brianne Myers and Marc Taxiera. I love them as humans and am in awe of what they do as creatives/restauranteurs. I was worried about this newest endeavor only because their presence, in addition to incredible food, is such an integral part of Augustine’s success. How will they be able to nurture this baby as beautifully as their first? After visiting last night with a few friends, I no longer have any fears. Vida has been open a month and it felt like it had been operating successfully for years. I am neck deep in Christmas everything, but I am just so happy for Brianne and Marc, but also for Westchester. We needed some new “Vida” around these parts. Will def include comments under the photos. One more thing… omg the food. Oh and the glassware. and the patio that we will all enjoy in the Spring! ok… gotta go! So many gorgeous details. (Can’t wait to return.) Originally posted on Westchester Foodies on Facebook.

Everything was great from the ambience, the food, and the service. I’d like to commend them especially on their attention to detail - in the reservation process you get an option to select an occasion and I put anniversary….which I totally forgot I selected one but our server greeted us as soon as we were seated (with a complimentary glass of champagne!). Overall we had a great dining experience and would highly recommend!
