It’s been a while since we have been to Vivace. (5 months). Vivace truly stands way above surrounding Restaurants. Everyone is just a joy that works there. Everyone is professional hardworking people. The service is amazing. Everyone seems to know what they are doing and the expectations the Restaurant wants from them. Very well trained. The food is AMAzing. I was telling my husband tonight Vivace is consistent. Service is top notch. The food is top-notch. Everything is priced reasonable for what you’re ordering It’s such a pleasure to go to a restaurant where everybody is doing your job and watching the customer to have a good experience that just doesn’t happen anymore except at Vivace

This was my first time visiting Vivace, the food and service were amazing. I got the crab stuffed chicken and my partner got the seared scallop fettucine, both were delicious. Our server was also very attentive and made sure we had a good night!

Our waitress was phenomenal. Of course the restaurant is beautiful and we appreciated a table that looked out over the city which enhanced the experience. The food was delicious. Nothing exotic but welled prepared and top quality. We hosted friends as a thank you for being good neighbors and friends. We couldn’t have picked a better venue to express our appreciation to them. Great evening.

Had high expectations as my girlfriend had talked up her past dinners with family and friends. Booked a reservation in advance for our anniversary and we were quickly seated at a table. Our server stopped by the table and did not introduce himself or provide any friendly greeting. We were surprised and that he didn’t ask anything at all and seemed cold. Didn’t ruin the night or anything and we are very easy going diners. Never knew his name for the 1.5 hours we were there until I saw it on the check. He kindly gave us a desert on the house apologizing for rushing us. We thanked him kindly and tipped. Ambiance is darker but could use table lights to help create more of an intimate setting. What was the most surprising was how loud it was from the other patrons. Just expected it to be a little bit more of a finer dining experience. Overall pretty good food, but even my girlfriend said it was subpar to her other experiences here.
