While the atmosphere was beautiful. Great music, excellent meal. The service could have been better. Our waitress tried 2 take 30% off the top of our bill. While giving us less in change. My dinner date recognized the issue and addressed it with our waitress, without getting the owner involved. He had owned a few restaurants before himself. And knew it didn’t seem right. Unfortunately my blind date did not work out. However that would not stop me from coming back to a wonderful establishment.

Is this place open for business? Everytime I go to the Kettle next door there are construction workers doing something inside.

I had a rather unfortunate experience…and i really wanted to like this place more than I ended up doing, b/c it’s nice to have a hip little restaurant BYOB in H-town.

We called ahead for a reservation and we were told the place was packed and the wait was an hour and a half. We took the reservation and discovered it was well worth it! The menu was diverse and with a party of 4 we sampled quite a bit of it. The fillet came out perfect, as well as the shrimp and the various tacos all amazing.

Wow! Right from the flavorful braised short rib nacho appetizer to the perfect shrimp tacos this food was outstanding as well as the service!

The food is actually unusual and very good, although in my opinion somewhat expensive. It’s a relatively small space, and when we last visited it was extremely loud and disappointing (a party was going on and taking up half of the restaurant). My party of 6 could not hear each other over the volume on that day, this is the reason I chose to give Vida a 3 star rating. I have been here twice before this last visit, and did not have this issue. I would recommend that after making reservations call before your arrival to confirm that there will be no large groups during your visit. Definitely a place to go, but not during a time when there are large parties going on.

My girlfriend and I found this place a little less than a year ago and instantly loved it. They recently changed up the menu and food quality (and brand?) and now its not that great. Our favorite was the Vida Nachos, as we enjoy finding good nacho spots, but these have easily dropped off our favorites list. We most likely won’t be coming back.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Vida and it was great. Myself being a Brookline native, we have eaten at Vida many times before; the food was always delicious and the staff friendly. The owner, Bill, brought us in a few weeks prior for a food tasting and worked with us to put together the menu and room layout etc. It was decorated for Christmas so it really looked cool. Thank you Bill and Staff, See you soon!

Not one to really write reviews, but I just had to for this little Havertown gem. As we saw people leaving, they all had smiles on their faces. The chef came out to check on us, and then went back into the kitchen and made some delicious food! Steak and frites were great, and short rib taco just won an award for best in Philly. We met the owner, Bill who was a super nice guy, and people were around regularly to check on us. Overall, a great time, with happy people, amazing food, and great customer service.

We had dinner here recently and the food and drinks were amazing! BYO tequila to mix with their and delicious margaritas. I recently got the pomegranate and blueberry mixer marg – it was tangy and fresh. We tried this spot several years ago and weren’t overly impressed, but they’re doing things right in the kitchen now! Wait staff is kind and helpful.
