   We had to leave after our appetizers because they were horrible. The smoked trout dip was served hot from the oven with cheap cheese on top and stale bread. It was so salty that I couldn’t eat it if I wanted to. Our beet salad had no beets. It had a smear of beat purée and a salad that I’m sure came from a bag. After that we thought better of ordering dinner and left.

   Vivian's Table has an excellent brunch. The restaurant and hotel are well designed with locally produced furniture and art in a restored historic building. T Rabbit Hole Bourbon Shrimp and Grits was outstanding. Staff was kind and attentive and knowledgable. The whole experience was very relaxing and casual.

   The food and service was very good. Salads fresh and crisp and food was good and warm and arranged in an appetizing display on the plate. The only detraction is the cost was towards the high end for this area but still an ok special occasion value.

   Lovely setting for a delicious meal. Great flavor combinations in the shrimp & grits and the stuffed chicken (my husband’s choice). Cooked perfectly. Beautifully presented. Our waitress was gracious and efficient. Prices were quite reasonable for the caliber of the dining experience. Highly recommend.

We try very hard to keep in stock all liquors but sometimes it's a challenge with product availability due to all the shipping disruptions.

    As Vivian’s is in our home town, we try to be supportive. Every visit honestly gets worse. Service is fair at best. Food is always good, but definitely not worth the cost. We swear we will not go back, but we do, only to be more dissatisfied that the last visit.

    Made a reservation for our anniversary while staying at the Bristol Hotel. I had the Kale Cesar and shrimp cocktail, and my husband had the ribeye and herbed mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious, including the complimentary anniversary champagne our waitress offered us. I felt that my meal was priced appropriately for what I received. My husband felt that his ribeye, which was fairly badly burned on one side- rendering a fair amount of it inedible- with one side item was a bit overpriced at $40. I’m sure it was probably a fluke and we’ll likely give it another try. Beautiful restaurant, excellent service.

    First let's start off with the location. The Bristol Hotel in Bristol Virginia is lovely remodeled 1900's hotel and the perfect location for a nice dining experience. Vivian's Table misses the mark though. The clean modern decor does not go well with what could be a go to restaurant for that special occasion. The staff is dressed in jeans, tee-shirts and, since it was the night before St. Patrick's day, green Mardi Gra/St. Pattie day beads. Though I have to say our server, Bailey, was exceptional and looked after us very well. It was a slow night for the restaurant, maybe 15 people at most, and had the feel of "business mans night". Now the draw for my wife and I was the Wednesday night special, buy a bottle of wine get your second entree free, and it was her birthday, so looking for something different and special. The food was good, nice medley of flavors, but nothing to wow my wife and I who are gourmet cooks in our on right. She had the trout and I had the Cajun Pasta with an addition of mushrooms and shrimp (5). The appetizer was the House Chips with balsamic and ranch. Once again good, but not wow or worth the price point. They did give my wife a free desert for her birthday, and Bailey made sure to wish her a happy birthday. Bailey was the shinning star of the night. Now for the damage. Without the discount the bill was $123.42, $95.17 as a Wednesday special. Decide for yourself with my star rating if the price point was worth it. Would I recommend Vivian's Table, for now I will say "maybe". Once again, though, Bailey was excellent.

    My husband and I had dinner AND breakfast here the next morning. I had shrimp cocktail which were nice plump shrimp served over arugala. My husband had the burger and said it was one of the best he's ever had! Cocktails were very good and service was outstanding. We had omelets and gravy biscuit breakfast and both were delicious ands huge. Once again service was spot on and our coffee and juices were never empty. Prices were reasonable and we will definitely go back when in the area. Definitely recommend!

    Food was great! Charcuterie Board had an excellent selection of meat and cheeses. Bread was served nicely warmed. The olive should have been stoned, and some honey or mustard would have rounded it off nicely. Steaks were cooked perfect. Sides are small, generally enough for one person. Dessert was off the chain good (triple layer chocolate cake). The service is lacking. I am comparing this is experience to others where I have spent $150 per person for dinner. The hostess was not engaging, and almost made you feel that it was a bother to be seated. Our waitress was a very nice person, knowledgeable about the menu but always seemed to be hurried and rushed in everything she did. We ordered a bottle of wine which was brought tableside by the bartender to be opened. You could tell that she was uncomfortable using the corkscrew and not familiar with the process as she tried to complete the full opening without ever setting the bottle on the table. Our waitress was over sat when three two-tops and a table of six were seated within in the span of two minutes. Neither the manager, nor hostess, nor bus person, seemed to add any assistance with managing the additional guests. So, in general, great food poorly delivered.

    Absolutely, one hundred percent, wonderful Valentine’s Day brunch with my husband. Although not themed for the holiday, they did have advertisements for a very enticing dinner option. Regardless, the brunch is timeless and delicious! The staff makes it a truly personal experience, and is very attentive if you have a concern. The hotel has been our go-to spot from the time we desired a wedding venue, to our first anniversary (extremely accommodating to all of our requests for photo opportunities - wedding day picture redo), and sleepy Sunday brunches! We have gone, seen, and always return.

    Very very expensive and the entree quality and taste does not match the high prices. The New York strip was full of gristle and not cooked throughout the steak to the desired temperature. The asparagus is way too hard and crunchy. The salmon was bland. The appetizers were much tastier than the entrees however they’re very pricey as well. The deviled eggs are great but you only get enough for two people and the two people could actually eat a few more. The fried green tomato appetizer is very good but the bottom two tomatoes lack seasoning compared to the top one and there’s no salt on the tables. People brought drinks and food in from room service and were very drunk and loud which took the romance out of the air for valentines Saturday. Likely won’t go back for another $120 dinner for two that was not even as good as Texas Roadhouse which would have been half the cost and way more satisfying.
