Unfortunately this place is not anything great, and for the price it should be better. Also our server forgot about us quite a bit I finally had to ask management for our check.

There was a lot of confusion in the kitchen and with being seated at the table. First, we were early for our reservation and were told we could not be seated because the kitchen could not handle early orders. It was 5:30 and the restaurant was not busy. After some conversation about ordering a drink first, we were seated. I felt sorry for our server because two of our guests have allergies to garlic. She returned multiple times with updates about which dishes were garlic free. We are frequent guests at the hotel and have experienced problems at breakfast, lunch and dinner. For an upscale restaurant in a fabulous hotel, this is unacceptable.
Vivante Restaurant & BarResponded on June 2, 2025

Beautiful setting and great service, but food quality was mediocre to poor. One cocktail appeared to be only about half of a normal drink and most of it was ice. Scallop entree was satisfactory but only had four relatively small scallops. The chicken entree was very overcooked. The panna cotta dessert was delicious. This restaurant has such potential with its decor, location and views, but the food quality left us very disappointed. No plans to visit again unless we learn of a new chef or much better reviews from other diners.
Vivante Restaurant & BarResponded on May 14, 2025
Hello Kevin, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our setting and service. However, we're sorry to hear that our food quality didn't meet your expectations. We take pride in our dishes and are committed to ensuring that they are of high quality. Your comments about the chicken and scallops have been noted and will be shared with our culinary team. We appreciate your honesty and hope to have the opportunity to impress you with our food in the future. Best, Vivante Restaurant & Bar Management Team

One of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. Our sever and manager both made several mistakes which led to a very unenjoyable dinner. The general attitude of the staff was that the customer is an annoyance.
