Vivace - Charlotte

This place was amazing! Make a reservation! We went to Brunch on Sunday and it was packed! Our waitress Nina was absolutely fantastic. I have the mussels and the spaghetti Carbonara. My friend has Brussels and the American fritatta. Both were great. And groundless mimoses? How can you not come here is my question. I will definitely be back!

I had the French toast and bacon for Saturday brunch and it was decent but nothing to write home about. The $2 Mimosas were nice but the food was pretty regular.

Feels like a restaurant that had a lot of money invested originally but nobody's put much effort into it since then. Lots of blown bulbs made the dining room very dim in a Saturday afternoon. Fall cocktails are still listed on the menu in late April. Have been several other times because the location is convenient but the food is average (though the field green salad is very nice).

Ordered from here for a business lunch and was asked if we would like anchovies on the salads...at our surprise you get a single anchovy. Industry standards is 5 for a garnish. If it’s a garnish, it should be described as a garnish...not an add-on. Also too much arugula on the mushroom pizza...couldn’t even see the mushrooms, we had to take a fill handful off the pizza just to get to the mushrooms. After getting past all the arugula that’s on everything (and i love arugula, but it was on almost everyone we ordered, just too much) The food was good and norm it’s a great place. Really good for a date night.

Came here for restaurant week with a group of people. Service was phenomenal. The waiter checked us every 5 minutes, gave a big game about the specials, local procurement and offered suggestions. The food was great. They served full-sized portions, although it was a recurring week. Looking at their regular prices vs the quality of food and serving, you get a great value. Your appetizers were very good. We have the meatballs, Brussels sprouts, mussels... I got the chicken and it was good. Wine wasn't too expensive, we shared a few bottles. Would recommend.
