    Found an excellent brunch location. Food choices were perfect, cappuccino was spectacular, service was top notch, ambience classic. All the place needs to send it over the top is a live jazz musician.

    A milestone birthday celebration was made so much more special by the generosity of Vandiver and its attentive staff. The French onion soup was the best we've had, and the short rib tortellini was fantastic. This is hands-down the best restaurant now in Clayton. Alex was wonderful throughout our magical evening. I can't recommend this gem highly enough. Stories indeed begin here.

    Was not please with the overall experience. The service was mediocre. The food was average , except for the fries. They were great. Have eaten there numerous times. Our first encounter when vandiver first opened was the best. Since then, it’s slowly been going downhill.

    Made a last minute reservation for a Saturday night and were seated at a quiet bar table. Only drawback to this area is that you feel the breeze every time the door opens which was often on a Saturday night. Took awhile to be acknowledged by staff-waters were brought and then took even longer to have server return to order drinks. A little overlap in coursing as we weren’t yet finished with our starters when entrees were dropped. We ended up pouring our own wine as the server wasn’t aware of empty glasses. A few service missteps but the food was delicious. Trout preparation was exceptional and the pork schnitzel was crispy and delicious. We will definitely be back.
