    This was the first time my husband and I had come for lunch (usually dine there in the evening) and the waiter explained everything well. My husband ordered a glass of wine but I asked for a cocktail that I've had before that wasn't on the drinks menu. No problem. The barman hadn't made it before but it was perfect (so he got to make two). The food is always great at Vivace and today was no different. Thanks again.

    Great to always visit the "sidebar" where Adults can have a nice drink . Sad that Aiden is heading back to the UK for family reasons big shoes to fill. I love how we can extra drink and catch the bus home ! So drink the Taxi Fare great outcome. We just asked Aidan to bring us wine by the glass within parameters. Six different wines by the glass none of which we were aware but really enjoyed all of them.
