    We went for the prefix Thanksgiving dinner. The quality of the food was excellent and the service was wonderful. I love the restaurant. The downside was that it wasn't clear to me that it was buffet style until I got to the restaurant. The buffet area was small and hard to maneuver through with the heavy crowd. The other issue was the food wasn't hot, it was luke warm at best... potatoes cold. The taste and quality of the food was excellent. I would only do Thanksgiving there again if it was a prefixed menu and I was served at the table. With all of this said, every other time I go to this restaurant it's always excellent

    To start, we ordered Fried Calamari for 3 of us. They weren't the best! A bit on the tough side, perhaps old or reheated. For the main course, 2 of us ordered SWORDFISH OREGANATA, an interesting presentation. On the bottom was a large thick slice of cooked carrot, topped with sauteed spinach, topped with a thick piece of fish, topped with a grilled half lemon. Unfortunately the swordfish was old and tasted bad. We couldn't eat it! We complained to the manager about the meal who gracefully removed our dinner plates and did not charge us for the entree. Dessert was good. I have enjoyed many meals at VIVO in the past that were excellent. The bad food experience was a surprise!

    My wife and I have been visiting Vivo for years and never have a bad experience. The costume party this year was even better than last year. The food is always great as is the decor. The projekt was a fantastic band which I believe played the first year as well. Looking forward to many more great times here.

    Disappointed to find a Halloween party going on. This meant loud music and menu issues. Otherwise, nice place

    I love this restaurant! Every time I go it’s a wonderful experience. The food is delicious! The staff is always friendly and attentive. Plus you can’t bet the value and quality of the food. I highly recommend Vivo in Bayside.

    Vivo is a beautiful restaurant with an attractive view. The high quality tablecloths and napkins and the ambiance in general make it seem far more expensive than it actually is. How nice to find that the menu is varied, reasonably priced ... and delicious. Tables are nicely spaced so conversation is easy, and the service is personable, attentive and professional. I will definitely be going back and taking friends with me.
