High Quality, Moderate Prices

by upalum203

My wife and I requent Vivace's regularly. The restaurant is always crowded and reservations usually needed. The service is adequet. The bigger the bill the better the service, so order that second bottle of wine. The entrees are wonderful. The Oso Buco is fork tender with wonderful sauce. The crab stuffed shrimp comes with a flavorful rissotto. The molten cake dessert with fresh fruit and gelato is worth the extra wait.

My in-laws are from Portland, OR, where they are accustomed to high quality food at an exceptional price. Vivace is the only restaurant that they request visiting when they come and visit.

• Pros: Excellent Menu, Huge Wine List
• Cons: Crowded and Loud, Spotty Service

Always treated like a star!

NO RACISM!!! this review is partial in respone to the patron that has made outlandish comment about Vivace establishment being unfair because she was a person of color. I being an African american recieved wonderful service when my boyfriend took me there for our anniversary. Being a couple of college kids, we don't usually get paid much mind when we go to nicer establishments, such as Bistro Zin for example.

HOWEVER at Vivaces we were seated promptly, given a wonderful table, our waitress was wonderful and we recieved excellent service. The entire night was enjoyable. Moreover this was not the first time i have dined at Vivace and i must say i have ALWAYS been treated fairly and enjoyed myself when dining there. The food has always been wonderful and the restaurant has a very romantic atmosphere with all the candle lite tables at night.

The individual that stated that she may or may not have been mistreated based on her race is obviously has no business commenting let alone eatting in a fine place like Vivace!
