    We often go to concerts at The Kate, which is right down the street, and we almost always dine at Liv's before the show. The food is always excellent and the service is always attentive and friendly. This last dinner was no exception, from the friendly greeting at the reception stand to the competence and attention of our server. We enjoyed the meal very much -- the kitchen's preparation of fish and seafood is a standout -- and will certainly be back.

    We celebrated our anniversary and had a delightful meal. Our server, Paige, was excellent. Just the right balance of attentiveness and friendliness, while not rushing us. The food was excellent. The view of the water made everything perfect for a special occasion.
