For a lively, music-filled night go during the evening when live music and tiki-bar energy are at their peak. If you prefer a quieter meal, try weekday lunch or early dinner right at opening, guests note lunch and happy hour can be less crowded. Weekends and holidays get busy, so reserve ahead for prime patio seating.

Warm, lively and intimate, Viva blends casual‑elegant dining with a fun bar vibe.

Portions are generous for mains and shareable appetizers. Guests report hearty steak cuts (ribeye, tomahawk, skirt, filet) and filling items like steak pasta and empanadas; some entrees are served à la carte, so sides are ordered separately.
