Instantly, you're drawn to the decor of Mi Vida, a recent addition to The Wharf and the lone Mexican restaurant at the development. It's the "tree of life" that will grab your attention, towering over the foyer of the restaurant with its vibrant colored flowers, an indicator of what to expect throughout the rest of the dining room, from the artwork to the glassware and dinnerware. 

You’ll have to forgive me, this post comes to you without photos of any food. It took me a good two minutes at a candle lit table to realize I wasn’t going to get a decent photo, and my friends had already dug into their meals before I could get a shot of their plates (I might be one of those pesky blogger people but I’ll never use a flash at a dinner table, and no amount of LED light was going to make a plate of brown food desirable).  Instead you’ll have to settle for pictures of cocktails and the aforementioned tree.
