in the last weekWent for restaurant week. Prime rib was good. Disappointed with the $65 fish & chips with slaw that was eh. Chicken roulade was good but very salty and polenta was thick and lumpy, not creamy. Lemon panna cotta was really good but served in a disposable plastic glass. Overall, was disappointed. Would try again in spring if I could sit in courtyard and order wine and apps or a happy hour.

3 weeks agoHorrible ate here for new years eve. Sub par food would of been happier with McDonald's. Service was terrible. I think they knew what the cost was almost apologetic. I do not get along with my sister. I wouldn't even recommend this to her. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! Total RIP off

4 weeks agoI have always loved Vivilore and the charming atmosphere of the restaurant, so was eager to try their New Year’s Eve menu. Despite an excellent waiter (Frederick), the experience was quite disappointing. We were seated near the entrance and in close proximity to other diners, despite availability in quieter spots. The five course meal felt quite rushed, with the next course being served before we had finished the previous one. At least 3 different servers attempted to bring dessert while we were still finishing our entrees. The quality of the food was not nearly what I had experienced previously. Many dishes seemed heavy on the salt. Sadly, the experience was not at all what I had expected for a special night and for the price of the meal. I had hoped to bring a larger group here at a later time but believe I will have to look elsewhere.
