    Such a Great Blessing to have Vivace near us. Its owner Mike is always engaging with the guests. The food is amazing the staff is very friendly and service oriented. Mike hosts many winemaker events throughout the year and it’s always fun and affordable! If you haven’t been you should check it out!

    I dislike the charge for employee benefits. The owner should pay for these. Next they'll want to charge us a surcharge for rent increases, utility increase and on and on.

    The food was excellent. The service was not up to par. We did not have one assigned server. Service was provided by multiple random servers which was spotty and disjointed.
