We went for New Years Eve dinner and they had a Prifix Menu. It was excellent. Usually these Holiday meals are not up to the standards of the restaurant but at Vivace it was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was delicious as always. My Dad and I go there every Christmas Eve when he’s in town. Service was a bit lacking. We just didn’t see her much. I ordered a glass of wine prior to ordering my salad, which I finished with my salad, but sat through my whole entree with an empty wine glass. The server came over to ask if I wanted another glass when I was done with my meal. Otherwise everything was good.

Food was delicious as always but the service was a bit disappointing. We had to ask twice for one thing we requested and never received a second request. The server was very friendly and attentive when at our table but seemed to forget things as it got busier. This would not be surprising at an average restaurant but I expect a bit more at a restaurant like Vivace.

Food is always delicious, but as per usual, service is lacking. We were seated and then it seemed as if the waitress forgot she had our table. She was pleasant enough when she finally took our order, but forgot my husbands drink.
