Vida

Restaurant · Knoxville

"Vida may be housed inside the historic Holston building (an early 1900s high-rise with a home on the National Register of Historic Places), but what you’ll find inside is remarkably fresh. The interiors are stunning, a careful mix of preserved elements like exposed brick interspersed with lush tufted booths and modern artwork. The menu of Pan-Latin dishes includes a variety of shareable small plates like vegetable or barbacoa empanadas, tomato bread, and albondigas, plus heartier options like beef tenderloin medallions and Chilean sea bass. Kick off your meal with the featured cocktail of the day, and cap it off with an order of churros for dessert." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
