We really enjoyed the food at Vivians Table! The server was helpful professional and kind. The shrimp appetizer was great. It had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The salmon and steak were also really good. Highly recommend for a tasty dinner and drinks!

my husband knows how risky it is to get me to try a new restaurant but after 18+ yrs together, I’m finally beginning to trust his judgement
Vivian’s Table was an absolute delight & the staff was just as charming! Below is a list of things we devoured graciously & recommend highly:
complimentary appetizer- we didn’t catch the name but it’s a kind of smoked trout mousse or pâté & crostini topped with microgreens
appetizer 1- Jalapeño poppers- pimento cheese, smoked beef brisket, applewood bacon, sriracha aioli, unagi sauce, green onion
appetizer 2- Harissa Deviled Eggs (gf)- harissa spice, cilantro, mustard, fried onion
entrée- Country Cordon Bleu- biscuit fried chicken, pimento cheese, shaved country ham, cheese grits, sautéed spinach, sweet corn country gravy
dessert- Chocolate Basil Entremet- basil mousse, brownie, peanut butter, Rabbit Hole bourbon caramel, chocolate glaze, toasted almond, smoked bourbon sea salt

This was my favorite food experience since moving to the Tri cities area. We had Nick as our waiter and he was beyond kind and passionate about the food and history of the restaurant. My husband and I were also celebrating our anniversary to which Vivian’s treated us to one of their wonderful desserts (we got the cheesecake with bourbon caramel sauce and it was IMMACULATE).
Pro-tip: Tri the crab cakes and risotto when the chef makes them- you won’t be disappointed.
We will most definitely be back

Delicious food with some unique twists! We love to try shrimp and grits wherever we go and these were at the top of my list! Creamy grits and fresh shrimp…yum! My husband said his trout was very good. I highly recommend the cornbread made with blue cornmeal. Our server was fantastic… excellent overall!

We had a fantastic brunch. We were seated promptly, checked on well by the waitress, and the food was great. We had the deviled eggs, lox, and huevos rancheros. The restaurant is small and can get loud if crowded, so be aware of that.

The service is excellent. Our waitress Krista was friendly and helpful. The manager came out to check on us. The dining room is beautiful. They have a very good wine selection. The Mediterranean Salmon over risotto was very good. The gnocchi dish was beautifully presented. Unfortunately it was cold but the staff made up for it. We enjoyed the cheesecake also.

We had the special of the rangoons and the trout dip for an appetizer. The shrimp and grits for the meal. The food an and service were great and the atmosphere was very pleasant. It was nice to have an upscale meal without having to leave the hotel. Great job Vivians.

A lovely establishment with a friendly and helpful staff.
My family and I were taking a long road trip and stopped here for dinner. The servers made us feel very welcome and treated my children excellently, even though this is clearly a higher class establishment.
The portions were large and the food is clearly quality. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on the food is that it may be just a little too high class for some people. The dishes are complex and that may be a little bit too much for some people, like me.

I’ve been here twice so far for breakfast, and each time, all aspects have been on point. Great and attentive service and very fresh and delicious food. The first time, I went in for the basic Bristol Starter (eggs, meat toast, etc) but was instead talked into a limited pastrami hash they had made, and it was a wonderful recommendation. The next time, I did try the basics, and they were also fantastic. You’ll pay a little for atmosphere and quality, but trust me, it’s worth it.

Breakfast: Omelet was outstanding! Potatoes perfect! Coffee ok. Dinner: trout was spectacular and seasoned without being overwhelming, Filet perfectly done. The staff at Vivien’s were wonderful and so kind! One thing I would add; with the average cost per menu item, I would expect dinners to be served with a small salad before the main course. Something to consider.
