Fantastic wine selection, lovely patio/atmosphere, and relatively reasonable prices.\n\nThe server we had was nice, prompt and accommodating.\n\nThe bad: no gluten free or vegan pasta? Or really any options for us ... the server brought out the \"meatless options\" menu for me and still, most of it was either cheese filled or fish (fish = meat last I checked... right?).\n\nSo, I told the chef to go crazy and try to plate something up (for a place thats considered higher scale, this should be cake). I was served fingerling potatoes, arugula salad, steamed tomatoes with roasted corn, and some roasted zucchini and summer squash. The volume of food was impressive; the plating was a little disappointing, and the flavor... *shakes head* They barely seasoned any of it. The steamed tomatoes were my favorite-- and I'm going to partially attribute that to my Chianti.\n\nWhen I go somewhere with relatively steep prices and a tip-top reputation, I hold them to a higher expectation standard. Sorry, Vivace, you just didn't make top marks.\n\nI imagine if I come back, it will be to sit on the patio, looking out over the skyline and sipping some fantastic wine. I'll skip on the food.
