Viviane at the Avalon Beverly Hills Hotel

We were really looking forward to going here. Perhaps our expectations were a bit too high. $65 per person for the buffet-style brunch which we thought was on par with a basic brunch complete with stale waffles, cold meats that should have been warm, etc etc. I think they were understaffed as well on a busy Sunday. It seemed they only had two on the wait staff, which made getting refills, clearing plates, check a chore for them. Disappointing.....

Viviane has such great ambience!! We were lucky to get a table outside on the pool deck! Service was great!

Nice atmosphere. Good food; service. Looking forward to next visit.

Loved the ambiance and outdoor poolside experience. Very romantic.

I love this place for special occasions (seated in a cabana around the pool) or even just a breakfast meeting. Food and service are excellent. A little pricy but not out of line. It’s got a great vibe.

Excellent service from the valet to the server. Delicious fresh food. Relaxed atmosphere.

The Easter buffet was fantastic. Crab, oysters, tons of cheeses, waffles, french toast, prime rib, an omelet bar, and a bloody mary bar. With all of that, I had my choice of tables. I don't know why word hasn't gotten out about this restaurant yet but I plan to go back soon. Not only is the service nice and attentive but the other customers were friendly too.

Viviane was a cute atmosphere, but the food was VERY over-priced. We ate there for the Easter brunch and it was fixed price per person. The omlette bar and cold food was fine, but the quiche was cold, the pastries weren't fresh and the $65/person didn't even include a mimosa. I would only go back if I were staying in the hotel.

We don't mind spending top dollar for a great experience. This was just okay. Food was fine. Service was "meh." $100 later and we were left a little disappointed.

Excellent service, and always a nice relaxed vibe and chic decor.

This was at least my 4th lunch at Viviane at the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills and it has never disappointed. The decor and atmosphere are light, bright, fun and sophisticated at the same time. The menu is not huge but every delicious dish that I’ve tried makes a larger menu unnecessary. The salad Niscoise is perfect and they make the best grilled chicken sandwich. The glass wall looks out on the pool and you can request a patio table. A great place for a meeting or just meeting a friend.

Valentine’s Day at Vivían was another terrific experience (we ate here last year, too!). Nestled to the left side of the lobby of the Avalon hotel, a converted ‘50’s apartment building, the restaurant keeps the vintage look and feel but the menu is su courant.
the prix fixed menu was good value on this night, four courses for $75, with enough choices to please most tastes.
The truffled tortellini were delectable and my wife raved about the ratatouille appetizer.
Our halibut in cauliflower sauce was a hit, and vanilla crepe with passion fruit dessert crowned the meal.
No

As always… Fantastic!

Food was good and nice setting. Absolutely no flexibility in menu. Asked for two changes and both times “no” we do not do that. Disappointing. When you spend a couple hundred dollars for dinner surely there can be a little flexibility pairings or a substitute Would not make adaptations to menu at all. Server completely rushed us. Meal came out when o pay half through our app even though I said we were no rush when she repeatedly came by to take our order. Food deliver knew I was not happy and server immediately turn on the niceties - but totally fake nice

It was fine. It was pretty empty, but service was still a bit slow, starting at the valet and continuing into food service. The food was pretty good, the short rib was a standout. The drinks were also pretty good, but very expensive. Not much atmosphere. Probably a good option if you're staying at the hotel, otherwise maybe a little pricey for the total experience.

Ate lunch at Viviane during dineLA. The food was amazing and the portions were generous. The restaurant is small, when it filled up it was really noisy. There is lovely outdoor seating by the pool but unfortunately it was raining. Maybe next time, I look forward to trying the regular menu.

As always... great.

As always, the staff at Viviane was courteous and gracious, and went out of their way to make my birthday celebration with my family very special. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the LA area, and, as an added bonus, they are the first in the region to carry Bob Dylan‘s signature rye whiskey “Heaven’s Door.“

The food was really nice, the place is not happening, but if you look for relaxing environment and good food you will not be disappointed.

Lovely ambiance. Phenomenal food. The service was prompt and careful. We had the pleasure of visiting with Chef Baxter— great host. Talented chef.

Food was delicious. Dishes are small though so order extra. Enjoyed sitting out by the pool.

The food was delicious, the service was attentive and pleasant, and the atmosphere was classy and chill!

Wonderful food, fair prices, beautiful outdoor ambience, excellent service.

The food was decent and everyone enjoyed their meals. The fruit was good. It is a very relaxing place to have a meal and talk.

Great, food, great service, great environment! It's a wonderful restaurant to go to with family, friends and business.

Great ambiance and convenient valet parking. Good food and service.

Everything was excellent. Beautiful retro poolside vibes. The host team was incredibly professional, nice, and accommodating especially for the craziness of Mother’s Day!

First time here I’ll be back
Ambience was great
Poolside nicely lit
Great romantic spot

Delicious food and excellent service! Thank you!

I've been now for Happy Hour, brunch, and dinner, and every time i've been the food has been amazing and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend. It's small and has a kind of vibe like Palm Springs.. very cool place!

Easter, nice dining experience

Aucune ambiance et cuisine banale pour un prix impayable !

Broad menu. Wonderful food in a cozy, nostalgic venue reminiscent of Beverly Hills’ Golden Age. Staff was very attentive. It was easy to carry on a private conversation and the courses were times appropriately for an intimate couple’s dining experience.

I have always loved the Avalon, it was so lovely to bring my mom. She loved it too despite the rain... it’s so charming, the service is always fantastic and the food is perfect.

I have been to Viviane several times. Each time is better and better and more perfect. I highly recommend that one goes for a most enjoyable dining experience with friends, family, co workers, out of town ers:) sure bet!!!!

Cool little poolside spot, but honestly, nothing terribly special. I’d return, but only if I’m staying at the hotel or in the neighborhood.

Great job for Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day dinner was superb in every respect. Good value, too, even with a prix fixe menu.
Creative, fresh-tasting ingredients.
We’ve been here for brunch and enjoyed it as well

Great food has the grilled octopus with so i lentils

I really enjoyed this restaurant. I found it by chance... because not many restaurants are open on Christmas. It was in a lovely boutique hotel, which was so pretty. The food was great and the service was as well.
