   We used to be big fans of Vivian’s but the quality of food has declined each time we have gone. Not to mention last night, not only was the food comparatively subpar, but we had reservations through Open Table and asked if we could order from the Vivian’s menu on the rooftop and were told yes, but we would need to cancel our reservation downstairs if we planned to eat on the rooftop. So we went to the rooftop and as we were being seated I canceled our reservation via the app. Come to find out we could not order from the Vivian’s menu so we went immediately back downstairs and were told that because we canceled our reservation if would be a 30 minute wait. Very disappointing!!

   Excellent service and atmosphere, I went out of my comfort zone this visit and ordered the seared sea scallops and smoked trout dip. They were good but not as good as my fiance's short rib, which was amazing. Overall I had an amazing birthday dinner that exceeded my expectations and I would love to come back.

   Slow service, small potions, plenty of lukewarm/cold food. Steaks at the table were cooked well, but otherwise unimpressed. For the price you pay, better places in town to eat. Blueberry lemon crème brulee was the best dish. Biscuits on the crab cake biscuits were hard and cold. Shrimp and grits was 5 shrimp on top of a small dollop of grits. Even the side portions with the steak were small and highly generic. Servers were very nice and personable. Service was slow and there were few people in the restaurant at the time. Also has to wait 15 minutes past our reservation time. Not a big deal, but didn’t add to the experience.

   The sweet potato biscuits were good but would have been much better if they had been served warm instead of room temperature. My husband enjoyed his eggs benedict. My frittata was not great and was served at room temperature instead of warm. Also, the fruit offerings were not great. We will go back and give it another try. We thought that the menu was nice. The service was good.

   Absolutely amazing! We had dinner 5-10-25 and everything was perfect. Short ribs, Shrimp and Grits, and the Country Cordon Bleu. Perfect portion and flavors. We enjoyed it so much we went back for Mother's Day brunch the next day and it was just as good. We brought our own cheesecake and were very gracious about storing it for us until after brunch. Even brought a serving knife and plates to assist. We paid it forward with a huge slice of cheesecake for the crew and an extra tip for the server, I don't think they minded one bit after that lol We will definately be back!!!

    Our mother's day lunch was lovely, the service exceptional and the food "top drawer", as always. We enjoyed our time together. Best
