Vivace is our special occasion place. It is expensive but the service is great, they have a good wine by the glass selection and 4 older women with very different tastes in wine and food can all find something they enjoy. If you’re looking for the latest trends in fine dining this may not be for you but if you want a carefully prepared dinner with top quality ingredients then Vivace is an exceptional choice.

I tried to order the chicken salad but they were out of chicken at noon on a Monday. Very strange. The pasta dishes my dining companions ordered were great. I tried the arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was fine but the rest of the salad was boring.
