Reviews of Vivaldi's (Restaurant)

Cyndi Killam

Love the staff, atmosphere and food :)

J Cline

Great pastas and Lebanese cuisine. I like the grape leaf appetizer and the cucumber dip.

Anne Chong

Staff was very attentive. Portions are a good size. Adding an shared appetizer was too much for our small appetites, but was still delicious!

Strange tasty menu includes small selection of Lebanese food and a larger selection of Italian. The Lebanese dishes are actually very nice, my associate is a big fan of the combination plate of kabobs. I really like their tabouleh salad, I can eat mounds of the stuff.

It's New Years Eve and I wanted to take my Wife out for a nice Dinner, I chose Vivaldi's because my Wife of 55 years enjoyed eating there with her friends. I made a reservation for 5:30 hoping to eat early and to perhaps take in a Movie. After reading the on-line menu and deciding what I would like to have I chose the Fettuccine Alfredo, on-line price for the all inclusive meal $23.95 and my wife chose the Grilled Salmon, all inclusive price $23.95 (all inclusive simply means Salad 0r soup, dinner meal, and desert) . However when we arrived we found the meals we chose on line, because it was New Years Eve, went up by $15.00 and $20.00 per meal. The meal: my wife enjoyed the salmon dinner, however my meal was not so good, the chicken was over cooked and dry and the fettuccine was undercooked making for an unpleasant meal, the desert we chose was the caramel torte cake hoping to salvage the meal however ti was dry and unpleasant. The night, eating at that restaurant was so bad that we decided to come home and skip the movie. Shame on the owners of Vivaldi's for gouging the public just because it was a special evening (New Yers Eve) I for one will never frequent that restaurant again, plus, the meal before taxes was supposed to be $55.00 after taxes turned out to be $96.57 after taxes. Very disappointed in the Owners. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT

We go here often. Food is simply amazing and full of flavor! Always service with a smile. They have an all inclusive lunch special on weekdays that includes soup or salad, your meal, desert and tea or coffee! 12/21/20 went again for lunch. Amazing food, service and OMG the pineapple cheesecake!!

Kris Ullman

Great food, quick staff. Had a great wedding rehearsal dinner here

Steven Slade

Love visiting Vivaldi's when I'm in town. The soups are to die for, and the dishes are full of authentic flavours in generous portions. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the service is always professional. What a gem Saint John is hiding!

Katelyn Wobrock

While visiting a friend in Canada last year, she took me to Vivaldi's for lunch. It's one of the restaurants I remember most distinctly from my trip. The food was excellent and I remember admiring the interior.

Callum Young

Just had a lovely visit to Vivaldi's. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the atmosphere, and service. The bread was unbelievably fresh, warm and delicious. The soups were great, I especially enjoyed the delicious salmon chowder. This is a restaurant that after just a short time I knew I would be recommending to my friends and family. My pasta was delicious with fresh sautéed vegetables and a nice and spicy tomato based sauce. As I am visiting from Seoul, Korea this has been a memorable visit. Thanks Vivaldi's for a great experience!

Nick Simon

The Lebanese food here is the best in the city, hands down!

Arjun Damodar

Got lemon chicken combo and steak and mushroom. Though the chicken was not that great, steak and mushroom was excellent. Other than that you have no choice other than salad for sides.

Jenna Reid

We were first time visitors to Saint John. We wanted dinner close to our hotel (Hampton Inn) and found Vivaldi's online. We were very happy with our choice. Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Greg Forret

The food here is great. I was surprised that it was so empty because we went right at supper time but there was barely anybody in the restaurant. The food was good and the portion size was filling.

Rob Bottos

Had the spaghetti and meatballs bolognese. Sauce was excellent, but I prefer the meatballs at Vito's. Service was very good and the restaurant has a friendly atmosphere.

DV C

Great ambience..great food...great service. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by the server named Sarah. She was very kind and a good hostess. I was in town for work and only had one night to taste Vivaldi's. Even though I was rushing to the restaurant as it was closing up for the night soon, she made sure I got my meal and also stayed till I finished. I truly appreciate it.

Prices went up while quality did not. Still alright though. We had the Alfredo. You used to get fresh parm and fresh ground pepper. Not anymore. Now you get a shaker of kraft parm and no pepper(plus I had to request it instead of it being offered). Aldo, the chicken used was obviously the pre seasoned boxed stuff a lot of lower end restaurants use. For the the price (almost $21 a plate) it should have been better.

Sadek Rahman

It's one of the best fine dining restaurants around, excellent courses and fabulous deserts

YOURBIGDAYDJ

Great food consistancy in food quality. Wonderfull service most of the time.

Lance Gillard

Very nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The menu has both Italian as well as Lebanese selections. There was also seafood choices to choose from. I enjoyed my Spaghetti and Meatballs and my wife really loved her Pasta Milano. My two boys had the Ravioli and both cleaned their plates. I will come here again.

Sarah Barsmith

I was in Saint John recently and looking for a nice place to eat. I entered Vivladi's to find a very quiet place - nobody else there. Not a good sign? Well it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. The food seemed prepackaged and stale. I decided to skip desert. As I was getting the check someone else came in and I thought, I hope my presence is not encouraging them. So as I was leaving I smiled but shook my head. If I want food like that I will open a can at home

Corey Childs

We visit Vavaldi's on a monthly basis and the food is outstanding!! From the pasta to a great steak! What we like most is the staff who treat us like friends. Maria and Eli do an amazing job with creating a great atmosphere and very healthy menu!!

Barbara

I only rated it a three and that is only because the staff was amazing, the steak was one of the worse I have ever had, not sure who does the meat order because what you are selling as striploin is definitely not striploin, shame on you, as I stated above you only received a 3 and that's only because of our waitress, if I was rating who bought the meat, you would get a - 100

Kelly Walsh

I have eaten at Vivaldi's several times over the years, the food has always been excellent and the service great! As an employee of this establishment I just wanted to comment on the review from Sarah stating that the food is prepackaged and stale. Only fresh ingredients are used in the making of the pita bread, dressings, soups etc., All desserts are made in house as well as many of the other items on the menu. This has been the way things have been done since the first sister restaurant Mother Nature's was opened in 1985. Being in business for over 30 years speaks for itself! Elie & Maria take great pride in their business and strive to make everyone's dining experience enjoyable. If there is any doubt on the freshness of the ingredients used, please contact the restaurant for a personal tour of the kitchen.

Russell Furdell

Good Lebonese, good meatballs, great staff.

Brian Stamous

I am being a bit generous but it wasn't all bad. The atmosphere was stale and the food ... well, sooooo plain. I will not be returning.

James Walsh

Had a great experience at Vivaldi's. We were a party of 12 out for a birthday celebration, the service we received was excellent! Everyone enjoyed their meal, it's a great place and we can't wait to go back.

Keri Burpee

Great Food, great atmosphere, wonderful service...I would highly recommend Vivaldi's

Donna McNeill

We had a family Birthday celebration at this restaurant (a party of 12) I found the restaurant to be very clean ,the staff very friendly , and the service was excellent . The food menu that was provided had a variety of food choices to please everyone. I ordered the glazed salmon, a dish that I would highly recommend everyone must try.

Cheryl Lewis

We were here last night for Valentines Day. The service was amazing, the food excellent as usual. I love eating here and we are greeted like family. One staff single-handedly serving the whole place like a pro. Her new helpers did great. Thank You for making our Valentines Day perfect.

Alex Rynold

Made a reservation at what I though was nice place. Got told on the phone that we would have a hour and a half to eat and get out as they had other reservations that night... I made the reservation and arrived with my group to have the hostess say the same thing, well we ignore it as we're paying customer had a great time, food was ok didn't offer much variety for those who don't eat red meat. At the end of the night we left and a party member told me I had something in my white shirt, checked it out when I got home to notice that the dye from the very ages seats had actually transferred onto my shirt staining it, this also happened to another party members clothing as well. Upon talking to the manager who said he would issue me a gift certificate for a meal their, I stated I could pick it up be he insisted on mailing it out.. waited and waited weeks never got it. Approached the manager who insisted he knew nothing about it... Honestly just due to the lack of respect toward customers I will not be back . I felt like they wanted my money more then my service.

This place makes you feel home every single time .That type of service can't be bought

Sarah Haroldstien

The restaurant and the food get the same rating from me. It's called the don't bother rating. Over priced by about 30 % . Totally unrememberable.

Peter Smith

The food is awesome, one of the best places in saint john nb.

Inna Pugacheva

My husband and I were looking for an Italian restaurant in the area (after a couple of days in PEI we had enough of lobsters :)) and stumbled upon Vivaldi's. Our Gambroni Diablo shrimps were great and our server Heather was very nice. I was a little disappointed to find out that they didn't have Tiramisu, but I guess it was a sign that I didn't need those extra calories :).

Alex Kerr

Food was ok but slow coming out

Laurie Hunter

Went for our Anniversary supper on August 19th. Service was great. Unfortunately we will never again return to this restaurant again. Our meals were poorly put together and the baked potato I ordered had a rotten smell to it. Chicken parm was not done as per my request. Even the dessert was terrible 0/10

Ruth Holden

excellent soup, entree, dessert,tea or coffee for 15.95 inclusive

Lynn Wills

Food was wonderful, full of flavor and nicely presented. Atmosphere was quite and inviting. Waitress was attentive. Would definitely go back.

Emilia Rodrigues

The food is always sooooo good! The staff is very pleasant and we like the relaxed atmosphere in the well appointed dining-room.

Saunders McBride

As I always do, I read the Google reviews before I decided to visit this restaurant. I have found the reviews quite helpful. However, either only good experiences are posted or they were having an off day, but my experience was anything but complimentary. The service was poor and the food was flavourless. What a serious disappointment. I hope they were having an off day but it is unlikely they will get another chance to satisfy me.

Jolene Bonney

February 2021- We have come here as a larger family many times and as a couple. We love the Lebanese menue, especially the tenderloin kebob, and the kibbeh platter. Portions are excellent, and food is very tasty and so fresh.Service is excellent, at times a longer wait for food, but to be expected if busy conditions. Thank you for all the great dinning experiences at Vivaldis Saint John

GREGORY ZED

Just returned from date night @ VIVALDI'S...What an incredible meal that exceeded all expectations; from the TOUR OF LEBANON, the Kibbeh Platter and the Seafood Pasta (Diablo ) we had an extra-ordinary evening. Great service , friendly as always and extremely reasonable from a cost point of view...a must go place in greater Saint John.
