Vivian's Diner & Drinks - Des Moines

Fabulous brunch menu, which offers great standards and pleasant new taste directions. each of us four ordered another item and all were fantastic!

We had great food and loved the ambiance. Treated wonderfully by staff and management! Thank you!!!

Great for a nice dinner before a concert or other downtown event. I have been to Vivians several times, but this time was better. Excellent waitress and great food.

Very cool ambience. Modern bistro pub feel with a nostalgic Jersey diner style furnishing and accent. Server was attentive and friendly and eager to share specials and had good product knowledge. Place was nearly empty but then again it was a bit late for dinnertime. Food was subpar. Not bad. Just not really good. I got a lobster roll and the corn succotash. Corn tasted like all the veggies came from a can or frozen steamer bag very bland. The lobster roll was 100% finely shredded no big pieces of meat and had pretty much no taste. Wasn't on a lobster roll traditional roll and nothing else in it. More like a lobster salad spread. Unimpressive and priced like the meal it should have been. My friend got a few apps as sides and let's just say, I wasn't allowed to choose the restaurant again today after last nights bet on Vivians.

We had a great time celebrating my mom's birthday at Vivian's. The service from Jessie was great and the food delicious.
