    Vivace's seemingly effortlessly served us a super meal last night. Everything worked - the appetizer salads, the entrees, the accompanying wine. Service was attentive but not intrusive. The place was very busy but our party never felt neglected. Other restaurants should observe how Vivace's does it and try to emulate it.

    We had a pleasant evening with excellent salads, soup, entree, and dessert. The staff was friendly and attentive. Almost everything was enjoyable. The exception is the facility's policy of charging for bread service. It is beneath the enhancement for a restaurant that does everything else so well to nit pick something that ought to be complementary.

    I recently made a reservation for my friend at Kincaid’s steakhouse, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. They absolutely loved it! The food was outstanding — perfectly cooked steaks with great flavor and quality ingredients. The service was also top-notch: attentive, friendly, and professional. What really made the evening extra special was the view. It was stunning and added a beautiful backdrop to a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and an amazing atmosphere!
