The dining experience at this establishment is characterized by exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff members exhibit a commendable level of professionalism, ensuring that patrons feel comfortable and attended to throughout their visit. This commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in the attentiveness and friendliness displayed by the team, which significantly enhances the overall dining experience.

The culinary offerings, particularly the Eggs Benedict and French toast, exemplify a high standard of preparation and presentation. The Eggs Benedict is crafted with precision, featuring perfectly poached eggs atop a toasted English muffin, accompanied by Canadian bacon and a velvety hollandaise sauce that complements the dish exquisitely. Similarly, the French toast is executed flawlessly, showcasing a golden-brown exterior and a soft, custard-like interior, enhanced by a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Both dishes reflect a commitment to quality ingredients and skilled culinary techniques.

It is advisable for patrons to prioritize these menu items when visiting. The combination of attentive service and expertly prepared dishes creates a compelling reason to return. To fully appreciate the offerings, one should consider making a reservation during peak hours to ensure a timely and enjoyable dining experience. Engaging with the staff regarding any dietary preferences or inquiries will further enhance the visit, allowing for a tailored experience that meets individual needs.

Update: Vivante is definitely not a one shot good review… we keep going back and they keep serving up awesome. Tonight 9/12/2025 Friday, they had music out on the patio, and happy hour specials until 7:00 p.m. More pictures added. The shrimp cocktail was amazing and looked the same as it did when we ordered it before. They are consistent.

My husband and I enjoyed appetizers on the patio on Thursday night, and our server was amazing. Then, we came back on Saturday night and had dinner inside, the service once again was amazing. The Brussels sprouts were divine, and the crab cakes tasted delicious. Loved it!

Hayala was amazing! She battled the cold snow and freezing temps to serve us. She was helpful with decisions on ordering and gluten free options and drink recommendations. She was super sweet and kind and did great

First let me say the restaurant itself is beautiful. However the food was only ok and the lack of service heavily influenced this review. We waited well over 20 minutes for a server in a restaurant that only had 5 tables when we walked into for our reservation. We asked for drinks 4 separate times. When they finally found us a server, she was very nice and had explained she was still new and still familiarizing herself with everything. We ordered and it was still an exceptionally long time before we received our food. My daughter ordered an appetizer and it came out with her entree so that was a little disappointing. I ordered the lemon ricotta crepes and bacon. I was not happy. Unfortunately our server was only able to drop the food and leave. She wasn’t able to return and ask about our food or see if we needed little extras. By the time she returned most of us had finished .The bacon was burnt and the crepes were flavorless and overfilled with basic ricotta. The blueberry compote was beautifully made though so I will give props there. Overall I was very disappointed with the whole experience. I do believe the restaurant itself failed, it wasn’t entirely our servers fault. I expected a lot more. I don’t know if I would recommend but if you do go, I wouldn’t set high standards.

Breakfast at Vivante was nothing short of a civilized indulgence, the sort of experience that reminds one how elevating a well-executed brunch can be when every detail is attended to with care.

I arrived as part of a small group invited to a morning seminar, and from the moment we were seated it was clear this establishment understands hospitality at a higher register. The service was unhurried yet impeccably attentive — polished without ever being intrusive. There was a calm confidence in the staff’s manner that immediately set the tone for a leisurely and refined morning.

I selected the quiche alongside the red deviled eggs, and both were exceptional. The quiche was delicately custarded, rich without excess, and beautifully balanced — the kind of dish that feels both comforting and elegant. The red deviled eggs were a standout: decadent, thoughtfully composed, and executed with restraint. Each bite felt intentional, indulgent in the most tasteful way.

What impressed me most was the atmosphere of ease and discretion. Conversations flowed naturally, coffee was refreshed at just the right moment, and the entire experience unfolded with a sense of quiet luxury. It was the ideal setting for meaningful discussion, perfectly suited to a morning gathering of thoughtful minds.

Vivante offers more than a meal — it offers an experience rooted in gracious service, refined flavors, and an unmistakable sense of occasion. A truly lovely choice for breakfast or brunch when one wishes to linger, converse, and be well cared for.

My wife & I usually use Devour Indy to check out new restaurants & see if they’re worth going back to later on. This evening we tried Vivante, a French eatery, & it was pretty good. The portions weren’t the biggest, but that’s to be expected.. it was still quite tasty & the service was excellent. We saw a few other things on the menu that we were curious about so I’m pretty sure that we’ll be back..

We spent a wonderful time there before the concert at Allied Solutions
Performing Arts Center. Our server Aimee T was so kind, jovial, and attentive! She took our picture, made good recommendations for
beverages, and made us feel warm & welcomed.
What a great respite from the rain as we waited on concert doors to open.
Comfortably classy! Seriously, can’t say enough about the good vibes we felt.
We had the shrimp appetizer, wine, and coffee.
Thanks again for the pre-concert core memory!

Olivia was phenomenal! The food was fine but her service was amazing. She provided us with terrific wine recommendations, kindness, and a great experience. Ask for Olivia if you come to this restaurant and you will not be disappointed!!

Food is pretty good. Service is slow and poor. You have to ask for salt and pepper for eggs at breakfast, ketchup with hamburger, crème and spoon for coffee. Where do they go to fetch this stuff? Takes a long time and food is cold by the time they return. Room is drafty and tables are uncomfortable because of large round pedestal supports that don’t allow your feet to rest anywhere near the table. Disappointing again this year.

We went to Vivante for the first time over Mothers Day weekend. We got fountain beverages and got a pulled pork sandwich, ravioli, and a grilled cheese for my son and it took over 2 hours to get in and out. The food was decent but overpriced for the quantity. The service was terrible. It’s as if the waiting staff is in slow motion.
