Vivante French Eatery - Carmel

My fiancée and I enjoyed one of the best breakfast experiences we've ever had! cassidy is amazing, we will definitely be back!

Fantastic eating, drinks were great, and excellent service on every level.

It is just so beautiful and the food and service are both excellent!

Overall great experience. they always have a great time with friends and family here.

Not recommended. Vivante is a stereotypical hotel restaurant: a beautiful decor but poorly managed. We thought Vivante would be a perfect location for dinner before a show at the nearby Center for the Performing Arts, but we were wrong. We explained on arrival that we had theater tickets, and we were assured there was plenty of time. That should have been true, but waitress was inexperienced and poorly trained. Evidently there also were problems in the kitchen. The waitress took over 30 minutes to take our entree order, and the kitchen took almost an hour to prepare it. That is in spite of the fact I left the table three times to find a manager and ask for service. We had to eat hurriedly and rush to the theater.
