Nyack, NY - the dining scene in Nyack keeps getting better and better. I've been anticipating the…read moreopening of Olar Meu for a while, as it is the new restaurant by the owners of the highly regarded Olar Noso in Northvale NJ, and am pleased to report the food is as sensational as expected! The well-curated and balanced menu is focused on Spanish/Mediterranean dishes and tapas, all expertly prepared with quality ingredients. I genuinely loved everything. We ordered fried calamari misto (fantastic!), bacalao croquettes, polenta crostini, and Olar salad (simple but delicious) to start. For our mains, the paella Valenciana and mariscada salsa verde were profuse with fresh seafood - and the mussels and clams were delightfully fat and plump. The grilled skirt steak, which we requested medium rare, was perfectly cooked. Complimentary garlic herb crostini is brought to the table, and we were given fresh crusty-chewy rosemary focaccia bread brushed with olive oil as well. We were too stuffed to go for dessert but I think the offerings were a molten lava cake, vanilla panacotta, a cheesecake of some sort, and caramel flan. The owner was there and came around to greet everyone. They are currently doing a soft opening so there's no liquor license yet, and it's cash only right now, but everything seems so well run already. This is a true foodie destination, especially for Rockland. Highly recommended and a hearty 5 stars!

We came on a Sunday for brunch and ordered a bunch of things including the crab cake Benedict, Spanish Steak Breakfast, Stuffed French Toast and the Dessert Sampler which included the Mini Kit Kat, Creme Bruléee, Chocolate Caramel Pecan Tart and Warm Banana Bread Pudding. Also tried the Espresso Martini flight which included their Raspberry, Cappuccino, Mocha and Classic versions of an espresso martini. Our server was awesome - he was full of jokes the entire time. Food and drinks were excellent so I'll definite be back for more!

The Cesar salad was boring, like it came from a bag at the supermarket. My husband got the sea bass special--it was overcooked.

I didn't get many pictures of the Tapas as we ate them too quickly. Everything was great quality and fresh!

Vida is a beautiful restaurant with both downstairs and upstairs elegant indoor dining areas. No wonder Westchester Magazine gave Vida an award for dining room/bar decor. A top feature includes elegant sconce ceiling lights and a formal dining room table for 12 placed on an Indian tapestry rug in the upstairs dining room. The outdoor area is very well designed. The restaurant designer deserves major credit for taking a porch overlooking two major roads and cutting down poor view scapes and noise. Your eyes while standing and sitting at tables along the porch edge are drawn towards the curtains and well designed wooden features. Roadway noise is minimized and allows conversation. The food is unique- no standard Westchester lasagna or meatballs here. We had tasty crispy zucchini ( $22) flowers stuffed with fresh ricotta. The small plate had two flowers, three would have been better for the price. The next small plate was 3 sea scallops ($24) with a stacked diced tomato and cucumber salad. Very fresh with a nice sauce. Here again, 4 scallops would have been nice for the small plate price of $24. The third and 4th small plate with crispy 1/2 sized small potatoes ($18) with a spicy cumin or paprika based creama. Excellent hearty dish with the carbs needed for a full belly for two people. The 4th small plate ($28) was the winner - crispy rice stacked with fresh tuna steak and vegetables. A delicious memorable dish. Great spice use. The two mocktails were excellent along with a cold16 ounce pilsner and a large 6 oz + pour Chardonnay. If you are looking for a different place to go for a memorable diner- Vida is highly recommended. Yes. It's a bit pricey- but the dining experience is superb. Note- if it's important to you- bring cash, a $5 charge for credit card use.

The atmosphere gives off a trendy vibe, with a chef from Chopped behind the concept. It was pretty busy on a Saturday evening but tables were available indoor and outdoor. Reservations are probably a good idea if you come at a busy time. Similar to a tapas or dim sum place, you check off your order on a slip of paper. Really enjoyed the complex yet simple flavors of the shrimp dumplings (3) though they were very small bites, the fish taco (1), and the pork belly lettuce wrap plate. Each dish is paced out to you as they see you finish. The lobster taco was good but at $17, pricey, for its small size. Savor each dish because they will be gone before you know it. They charge a mandatory 4% kitchen fee, which I understand in theory but not in practicality for customers in these times. This evening there were a few Lantern flies spotted, one of which landed in my glass of water. Parking is easy and shared with a few other nearby businesses. They also have Taco Tuesdays to get discounted tacos. This is enticing because each taco is small and not filling in its own.

It's one of those places where you can immediately tell the owners care about both the food and the overall experience. The atmosphere is beautiful. The restaurant has a classy, Great Gatsby-inspired feel with elegant décor, plenty of space, and a spotless dining area. I loved the attention to detail, and the bar area is especially charming--it's the kind of place where you could easily stop in just for a glass of wine. We started with the hummus served with warm pita bread, and it was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The chicken empanadas were another favorite--crispy, flavorful, and served with fresh pico de gallo that complemented them perfectly. I also enjoyed a glass of wine, and it paired beautifully with the meal. What impressed me the most was the hospitality. My daughter wanted fries, even though they weren't on the menu, and the chef was kind enough to prepare a fresh order just for her. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and really showed how much they care about their guests. The service was exceptional. The chef came out to greet us, and our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Before we left, they mentioned they have live music on certain nights, which gave us yet another reason to come back. This is truly one of Beacon's hidden gems. Between the delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service, and genuine hospitality, it's a place I'll happily recommend. We already know we'll be back!
