Chris and the team at Vivace add sparkling service to great food all inside a fabulous venue. The menu is just one page and normally accompanied by a couple specials. In addition the wine menu has depth and breadth to suit most budgets, and even the most discerning. This is a place where you have time and space to kick back and saviour the experience, and there is no doubt that some will mention the accompanying pricing reflects the experience. In summary, highly recommended!

Terrific restaurant that is one of our absolute favourites. The service is always absolutely spot on. Food and wine list is also “A” grade. Very well managed restaurant with lovely staff and a great overall ambience.

My partner & I have dinned at Vivace's a number of times and we've always appreciated and enjoyed the experience, the menus and the staff. It has now become traditional for us to enjoy her birthday here and undoubtedly we shall continue to do so 🙂

Thanks to Chris and the team, and especially Alex, for providing us with yet another fabulous and memorable occasion at Vivace. Despite having been regulars there for the last 10+ years, Vivace just keeps getting better.
This time it was a birthday dinner for 30, and it couldn't have been better! Our guests were raving about the wonderful food and the, even better, service. Alex was so attentive and engaging, with nothing being too much trouble.
Keep up the amazing work, which I know you all will!

Beautiful restaurant
The food was delicious. Waitress was very helpful and lovely. the saffron lemon risotto was amazing. We had private room with set menu. Only gripe would be took quite a while for our meals to come out but understandable as was a pre Xmas function.

Great to see the Vivace team back. Nice to sit in the restaurant.
Food as always was great. Service great but relaxed even though they were working to strict guidelines.
Call out to bayside, support local and make the close out to the year a great one for Chris and the team and our other fine restaurants.
