We went for early dinner on a Wednesday night around 6. We did have a reservation the atmosphere was great. Food was fresh and delicious!! Drink and dessert didn’t disappoint either!! The whole experience was wonderful! Our favorite was the Trout dip and Chocolate bowl for dessert you have to try it!!

I made reservations for a Saturday night a month in advance. This place has been on my bucket list for a couple of years. Prior to dinner we had cocktail reservations downstairs at the Vault. My friends and I enjoyed every morsel of our food!! If I lived closer I would definitely make it a frequent trip to Vida! Our server was spot on A++

Came here for the first time for a birthday celebration. The vibe is incredible. Very clean. Friendly wait staff. Everything is very mediocre at best. Some of the food was delicious and worth every penny (crispy shrimp), while other dishes tasted…odd and was triple the price (chicken enchiladas ). Don’t forget the small portions! They get you with the small portions and then adding sides and “small dishes” a la cart. I personally didn’t even think the cocktails were that great either. Disappointing for sure. If I’m going to spend $120 on dinner, I’m going elsewhere in downtown.

Peruvian chicken is fantastic. Get a bunch of small plates and share. High end food with casual atmosphere. Be warned, the cool vault bar is closed on Wednesdays.

Everything was excellent. The location was a little hard to find as there is not a big sign outside. Cocktails were great and the food was very good. I had the sangria and the chilean bass.

Had brunch in Maryville at Bella yesterday. Our wonderful server, Reagan, told us about Vida off Gay street next to Krutch Park. So … here we are today! We ordered the old Fashion (their house version), a blood orange margarita along with the Brussel sprouts and Crispy Shrimp to eat. It was all fabulous – super tasty! The experience was even better because our bar tender, Brandon, was super fun, informative and entertaining. Totally recommend this delicious experience for everyone who finds themselves looking for a great time in Knoxville. Can’t wait to come back to try more food and other delicious (and powerful!) cocktails on their creative menu.

A fantastic gastronomical experience. Small plates and main entrees are tasty and well presented. Desserts are good and service was on point. Nice cocktails and good selection of beers. Elegant interior complements the experience. Not inexpensive, but not outrageous either. Follow your dining with an after dinner drink downstairs at The Vault.

Great atmosphere. Very elegant. Good central location. If wanting to hang out with friends for drinks or sharing plates for dinner, it’s perfect for both. The food is absolutely amazing! One of the best all around dining experiences in Knoxville.
