We originally enjoyed Vivo when if first opened, rather quaint environment, with puffy tacos (I am an expert on PTs)! and the patio nice. waitstaff was typical austin, ie. friendly, congenial. Music wasn't too loud on saturday nights. Last 3 times we have attended, the hostess has been quite rude, and pretentious, and this includes the waitstaff to a large degree. I think that this attitude is coming down from the owners but not sure. I used to have my birthday parties dinners at Vivo, but don't think that we will return. perhaps there is enough draw for the younger crowd (we are over 40), and that is the new focus. I did enjoy the food though, so perhaps 2 stars, but to me if the waitstaff is rude, then the experience isn't worth returning for.
