    If you want to eat where the other Asheville chefs eat, go to Vivian. Innovative yet approachable cuisine simply but meticulously prepared. Great service: attentive but not hovering; friendly but not too friendly. This will always remain on my short list of Asheville's best restaurants.

    I love this place for brunch. I’ve only been twice, and both visits were excellent. Great atmosphere, good service, and really good food at reasonable prices. Definitely one of my go to places to take visiting friends and family.

    We're return customers, always enjoy eating at Vivian. Only one issue this time...the Open Table reservation form asked if it was a special occasion and I answered yes, it was my daughter's birthday. Certainly different restaurants acknowledge special occasions in their own way, but no one even said "Happy Birthday" to my daughter.

    Thoroughly delicious; thoroughly professional; totally enjoyable -- except for one small item... no handicap access. Bannister on the front stairs? We shall return!

    I can always rely on Vivian for an excellent meal and this was no exception. Our brunch was delicious, as were our drinks. If you're looking for creative, locally sourced food with a twist, this is the place.
