Viva offers attentive service from staff like Manny V. The food is a highlight, with options like the teriyaki shrimp sirloin and scallops veracruz. The atmosphere and service are excellent, but consistency is key. While the shrimp nachos fell short, the overall experience is elevated by great drinks and bartenders. The restaurant provides a semi-upscale dining experience with a beautiful bay view, especially stunning during sunset. It is known for its excellent food and fabulous cocktails, including the jalapeno margarita and pina colada on the rocks. The presentation is beautiful, and the dishes like shrimp tacos, beef tostadas, crispy brussel sprouts, and yellowfin crudo are served hot and fresh. The bartenders are friendly and skilled at crafting the fancy drinks, making the experience memorable. Due to popularity, reservations are recommended, especially on weekends or busy holidays. Visitors have found the food to be the best in the area, with many willing to make the drive just to return. Overall, Viva combines great drinks, tasty food, and excellent service in a lovely setting, making it a top choice for dining on SPI.
