Even though I struggled with pronouncing some items on the menu, I thought it must be high-end. The portions were not large, but the food was extremely tasty. Our waiter was attentive in keeping our water glasses full, and the waitress was very informed about the menu. If you are looking for a top-quality dining experience, Vivere is the spot to visit. Just be ready for the high prices! And don't forget to leave a generous tip.

I had hoped for a more updated restaurant. The food was traditional and not particularly interesting. We still had a pleasant evening. It caters to the early eating crowd.... our reservation was for 6:30 which is early for us and the volume went down after 7:30! We were the last diners to leave .... talking a lot.
