vivo ristorante & Bar windermere

we ordered same thing yet got different sides , there were strippers in there an the waiters were circling them like flies an our sevice sucked ..complained an the dude was just as negligent, for a place that charges alot you think they wouild have a certain standard but no ....very sub par

Food isn’t all that great...Had sent the cannelloni back and got spaghetti & meatballs. This wasn’t bad enough to send back again. Place is dead. Can’t recommend.

5* because Food is the best in this area and prices are awesome handsdown, sercice was good but not the best.

Now I don’t think the food quality is bad, or the service is bad or anything like that. The only reason I give it a low rating is because I totally feel like this place is a huge scam. The food is incredibly overpriced for the quality and creativity put into it. One of their most popular dishes is literally boiled noodles with melted cheese... it was almost $20 and the portion was not much bigger than my fist (I have child sized hands). I’ve worked in the restaurant industry my entire life and I know what things cost.The waitress was very pushy, and the food was good but not $100 good which is what It came out to. The portions were so small that after ordering three or four dishes (everything is served “family style”) we still left hungry... brutal. Very disappointed. Now I haven’t tried everything on the menu and I have heard a lot of good things about their seafood so perhaps there a bigger ticket items are more worth the price. But unless you are willing to spend a few hundred dollars don’t expect much for your meal.

My friend and I went here for dinner last Saturday and had wonderful service and awesome food. The bruschetta was absolutely delicious and the berry blaster drink was really good too.Would absolutely go to this place again :) the only thing I would maybe suggest is having a pizza with white sauce or having that option.

Excellent......... no comparison in Italian cuisine. Food quality 5/5. Relaxed and friendly ambiance. Service staff knowledgeable about the food and could guide you of your liking. Food and Bar menu choice is brilliant. One could give 4 and half star comfortably.

My favourite restaurant in the SW, no doubt.

I really enjoyed the food (vivo burger and mussels and clams for a starter) I had. Both dishes were very well cooked and the staff were very friendly. The beef burger was just right and the seafood was cooked and seasoned wonderfully.

Very underrated. Food is amazing and friendly service will have you coming back. Perfect for before or after a movie at the Cineplex.

Great food and drinks in an upscale, yet casual and comfortable environment. Fantastic Happy Hour specials make this an accessible way to enjoy some of the best food in the SW part of the city.

Really nice decor, meal designed and orchestrated by a chef. We had the valentines day special that was a multi course meal for two. It was beautifully displayed and flavored. To top it off , my lady also got a glass of wine and a rose which was a nice touch. Only downsides were my lady found the table sitting against outside window and Grey wall to be cold / drafty and portions could be a little larger but it was definitely better to have quality over quantity.

We wanted to try a new restaurant so we decided to give this one a try. The hostess was “forced friendly” and the music playing while we were there was awful. The beer was good - it would have been nice if they had a bigger selection. The menu didn’t have a lot of variety for an Italian restaurant. I would have liked to see more pasta and chicken choices. In the end I decided to have two appetizers because I couldn’t find an entree that appealed. The bruschetta was terrible but the deep fried risotto was very good. My partner had the beef rib which was boneless and it was pretty good. The food came in a timely manner but it wasn’t overly hot. Our server was very friendly. Overall I think we would try another restaurant before going back to this one anytime soon. It wasn’t a great Italian restaurant.

The service overall didn't start off really great we were sitting for probably about 10 minutes before we got ask for our drink orders. But after that the service improved and the food was great. The wine was expensive though but overall the price was ok.

I have been looking for a good Mac and Cheese and they delivered! Not at all overcooked like all the other places I've tried lately, and tasted PHENOMENAL with the beef short rib mixed in. Lovely staff! Great service!
