We asked the staff if we could sit outside and they set up a lovely table in the gazebo just for us. Very accommodating. I had the steak frite and it was very good. The brunch special comes with a cocktail and I found it to be a good value. I will definitely go back

I have been coming here for years. I keep coming back because of my wonderful memories of days gone by Unfortunately things are not the same. The service used to be fantastic. Great hostess great servers. Now that doesn’t exist. The food is still good but not great. I was there on a Friday night and including my table there were two other tables. It’s a beautiful venue so I hope they figure it out

My family went to Vivo for Sunday brunch. We were seated in the back dining room. It is not nearly as nice as the main dining room, but there was a private party going on. The service was very good. They started us with a basket of croissants and muffins which were fresh and moist. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious. We had French toast, Steak Frittes( steak cooked perfectly and the French fries were crispy and nicely seasoned. The portions are generous.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. They were able to accommodate us for mothers and and my mom’s birthday, came over with dessert and everything she felt so special!! The food was amazing, we got the salmon, chicken franchise, shrimp scampi, and braised short rib. Everyone cleaned their plates and we all got dessert too. The staff is so sweet and kind, I will definitely be back.

I’ve enjoyed this restaurant on several occasions. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The food was good but the service was not inviting, slow, and erratic. Server reported that no substitutions were allowed; even for something that was already on the menu including swapping out a scoop of one flavor of ice cream for another. Disappointing. Update: The manager responded in a thoughtful way and plans to address the issues. As a result of this interest in maintaining their standards and my previous experiences I look forward to dining with them in the future.

Good Morning Michael, I truly appreciate you sending this review and letting us know about your experience. I can tell you that we work very hard to ensure all guests visits are wonderful and we try to make accommodations. I am going to address the substitution request with the staff because I was here all night and nothing was brought to my attention or the Chef's....ice cream is easy. Again, thank you for brining this to my attention. Best Regards, Kevin

Been there many times. Bosses were off and so was the meal. Unfortunately, it was a business meal and it did not impress Appeared to be short staffed due to a party upstairs

Thank you Marty for the review and the feedback. Having the party on the 2nd floor should have not impacted your dining experience so I will looking into this. I appreciate you sending this over to us. Have a great day, Kevin
