Caesar Salad and the main course of salmon was good. Restaurant wasn't very busy when we sat down at 6 PM. We advised our server that we had an event to attend and needed to be finished by 7. She stated that shouldn't be a problem as not many tables were filled at that time. We ordered dessert about 6:50 thinking we had sufficient time. However, our server "disappeared". As it was now approaching 7:10 PM we tried to get the attention of a manager who was re-arranging tables, but to no avail. Finally found another server to get our bill. Then our server appeared with our bill, thankfully minus the dessert. After paying, as we were leaving the table, the Manager appeared with our dessert which we told her was too late but we weren't charged. Fortunately we made our event, but with only minutes to spare. Not sure what happened with our server, but our pleasant dinner turned into a bit of chaos which put a bit of a spoiler on dinner.

Staff were pleasant, ambiance was nice. There appeared to be a wireless/software issue and our server was having trouble entering things? We sat for 45 min on a slow night waiting for appetizers and drinks, and hadn’t even ordered a main yet. Then the food finally started coming, and it mostly had unexpected spices in it. Examples: spinach and artichoke dip included a curry flavor and mild heat level; shrimp cocktail were seasoned strongly, though the cocktail sauce itself was mild; filet was covered in a mild spicy sauce that wasn’t on the menu and wasn’t good… I guess the menu changed a couple weeks ago? Be aware. Overall a nice place in a lovely hotel, and staff were great. We won’t be eating here again, though.

This was my first time at Vivante. What a beautiful place. Came here with my Mom on my birthday. We both ordered a breakfast cocktail. And she ordered the Hash and I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Everything was delicious. And they surprised me with a free birthday Sorbet for dessert. Can't wait to come back with my husband. Maybe even do dinner next time.

Dined on a Saturday night before a Gladys Knight concert at the Palladium in Carmel. Reservation at 6:00 was just barely able to leave by 7:15 to make 7:30 concert. All we had were appetizers & gelato $75.00 with tip. Waitress did a good job of recommending the correct appetizers. Crab cakes~ average taste, but right sized, loaded potato soup is better at Panera, brussels sprouts average. Only had appetizers due to weight loss goals, so maybe a main course dish would have provided better results. The gelato was very good, we had two of the three choices, with 3 large dips of each in an interesting chilled large bowl. Could not finish due to time and quantity. Interestingly was not crowded at this time of evening.

I have been on several occasions however this time my toast was burnt and my drink was never refilled. The service was below the quality for what I would expect with this type of restaurant.

Vivante has become one of my favorite places to meet friends and colleagues. The patio is beautiful, the food is consistently delicious, and the service is exceptional. It is obvious that everyone there takes pride in what they do, and that is reflected in every visit. Thank you to the entire team for making every experience such a pleasure!!! Cannot wait to return for another wonderful experience.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary this past Monday evening. The service was extremely good and we found both of our entrées to be perfect. We may not be food critics or gourmet diners but we do know this place offers a quiet environment with good food and good service.
