The owners and Chef of Cafe Vivant have truly identified and fulfilled a culinary need in the area with their "Sunday All Day" concept. This style of menu and exceptional service have been a wonderful addition to the community. The offerings are outstanding, particularly the dressed chicories Caesar, horseradish, as well as the chicken sausage, egg, and white cheddar sandwich served on a homemade English muffin with romesco. The duck sausage 'bangers and mash' with quince mustard is another highlight. I highly recommend experiencing the delectable menu and hospitality that Cafe Vivant has to offer.

Beautiful restaurant that still manages to make the huge space feel very cozy and inviting. Ambiance pairs well with the delicious seasonal food and creative cocktails. Service was exceptional and accommodating throughout the entire dinner. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food or celebrating a birthday.
