The opening party at Da-Vida Restaurant in Crocus Bay

by Carol Richardson
(Crocus Hill, Anguilla)

The restaurant held an opening party Thursday night, May 2nd, attended by many. It is a beautiful building right on the Crocus Bay beach, spacious and open, with dining tables on one side and a bar and lounge area on the other side. Valet parking was also provided. A live band from Miami provided the entertainment, with wine, punch, and hors d'oeuvre for the guests, including many "locals".

I was so glad to see the old Tamarind tree was spared during construction and the steps leading to the beach was built around the tree! Crocus Bay beach is a quiet sheltered bay visited by many charter yachts and a favorite "locals" beach. David Lloyd, owner of Lloyd's Guest House on the corner of Old Court House Road and the end of Coronation Avenue, is the proprietor.

Nori's Reply: Aha! So that's what that development was, huh? It sounds like it was a beautiful event. Thank you so much for sharing, Carol. Do you have any photos? What kind of food do they serve? I'm so curious!

Nori's Update: Da'Vida is really one of the island's finest Anguilla restaurants. It's more than a restaurant, really, with their second floor additions and beach concepts. Truly spectacular. Click here to read about dinner at da'Vida.

Breathtaking Scenery/ Delicious Cuisine
by: Anonymous

If you are looking for a classy, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, then Da Vida's is the place to be. The scenery is tranquilizing. The quiet blue waters put you in a mesmerizing state. Your food is served on time and is still hot. I went and experienced this for my self and I can't wait to visit Da Vida restaurant AGAIN!!!

Perhaps the most important new restauarant in 10 years
by: Joe Barnes

I loved it.

Next year, I'll spend a whole day at Crocus. What a great, great spot. It's much more than a restaurant. It's quintessential Anguilla.

Da Vida's
by: Danilo

The food is simply delicious and the service is quite efficient. Very polite, interactive and I must add, qualified staff . It's rather relaxing to sit and eat at Da Vida's as one can do so and watch the azure waters and enjoy a picturesque view of the hillside surrounding the beach. The prices are reasonable. The interior design is different from most restaurants I have been to in Anguilla and that too is highly commendable. Definitely a must when in Anguilla!
