My husband and I decided to dine there this past Sunday afternoon. Because the weather was so beautiful we decided to dine outside. The service was excellent and food was relatively good. Half through our dining pleasure another couple sat down. The hostess appeared to know the couple and greetings indicated that they were good friends. The woman took out a cigarette and proceeded to smoke. The smoke began to bother me and my husband; therefore, my husband told her so. The woman said that maybe we shonuld move. Not once did the hostess say one word or offer to move the newly arrived couple. We appeared to be the villians. My husband and I decided to leave and not continue our dinner. We felt totally disrespected. The hostess was quite uncaring as to how we felt. She was more concerned with how her friends felt. There were empty tables around. Since they had just arrived and food not served, it seemed to us that this was the couple to be relocated. I certainly will not return to Vivo's although I have enjoyed dining there previously. I can only state my last encounter with anyone that I will relate if asked about this restuarant. I will tell them to dine there at there own risk. Smoking is totally acceptable for outside dining. So, take your chance if you want to dine outside. You might be seated next to a smoker and this smoker may be the friend of the hostess!!!
Pros: waiters for attentive
Cons: Disrecpectful hostess on 7/23/06--6:00 p.m.
