   I’ve been visiting Vivace since they were in Vulcan Lane; this is their 4th location, I think, and I keep coming back. Love the new venue. The menu is well curated and probably a little smaller than before, but they have done a great job with said curation; sometimes less is more. Service was great, not flawless, but they handled that well, and I think that counts for more, i.e. the ability to address any challenges! Loved the food and one of our group said their main was the best they’d ever had, everyone loved . I think that one of their keys to success is that they do what they do very well. 4 people, 4 entrées, 4 mains, 2 desserts, plus alcohol, was a little over $400, which I think was good value. The new venue is a little more intimate and has lots of character. Mandy and her husband Eugene do a great job of making you feel welcome! We’ll be back again!

   First time here before a concert. Amazing service. Staff made sure we were served on time to make it to our concert. Great great food and very reasonable prices. The cocktails were delicious and so many to choose from. Very lucky to be served by Tye. Absolute star in customer service with the brightest smile. Absolute rockstar

   My friends and I enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch there yesterday, 16th Nov 2025. The service was very warm, attentive, friendly and patient. Our food was Delicious, flavourful and satisfying. We felt that the general ambience of the restaurant was slightly quiet for a Spring Sunday afternoon but I would definitely recommend dining at Vivace in DeBretts. Thank you very much for a spectacular lunch, we really enjoyed it and I thoroughly appreciate it.

   Spur of the moment restaurant choice before a show......and excellent choice! Lovely food, friendly & helpful staff. Would recommend to everyone for central CBD restaurant. Reasonably priced & great service.

   Had an amazing experience here for a work dinner. The staff was amazing and offered great recommendations for food and drinks. Would highly recommend Vivace for either a nice date night, or social gathering.
