This past weekend my wife and I went to North Hills to catch a movie. We had some time to kill before our show and grabbed a drink at Midtown. While walking back to the Theater we passed by a place called Vivace. It had some nice outdoor seating and a cool open atmosphere at the bar. That place was really hopping! We didn't have time to grab a drink, but I was wondering if anybody else here has been there. Seems like a popular joint and a neat place to socialize on a cool summer night. We will have to go back and check it out.

It is a very good imo. The owner's also own Porter's Frazier's, and the French inspired place at North Hills. I love Porter's and Frazier's.

I went there with hubby a couple of years ago. Seems like most people like it but hubby is a meat and potatoes kind of guy. He thought it was too fru fru for him. Food was good but expensive. We never went back.

I haven't checked out Vivace, but I have been to Porter's (same owners) and it is excellent!!! I recommend the fish tacos and/or the shrimp nachos.

Vivace has been on Greg Cox's list of top restaurants in Raleigh for at least the last two years. Top 25 Triangle restaurants - Arts & Living - News & Observer (http://www.newsobserver.com/2766/story/1367716.html - broken link)

It's definitely popular. We've been a couple of times. I liked it better for lunch; it is better value. The patio is very nice.

It was really good. Went a long time ago with friends and then more recently on a business dinner. It was great the second time around.

Been to Vivace and the sister "Coquette's" at North Hills. Both nice places to eat..good food but a little stingy on the portions. I agree with Uncle T that I like Frazier's and Porter's better..Porter's being my fav

Hillsborough St. is a mess right now with the redos. I'm not sure about the parking situation at the present. Maybe someone else can shed a little light on it. Just a heads up
