Vivante French Eatery - Carmel

Almost everything was excellent. The only issue was that we had a waiter service area right at our back, which was disappointing and, at times, very loud as they were getting new table settings out. Other than that, it was wonderful. They even gave my daughter a free dessert for her 25th birthday celebration.

The food and service was good! For food at that price point, it fell very flat. Having been to a couple French spots, this is the best option in the Indianapolis area. So I would recommend it if you have an immediate craving for French food, otherwise I would stick to NY, DC.

Service was great. Tables are a little too close to others if you're a 2 top. Had the short ribs they were good, but left hungry. Wife had the halibut she liked it as well. Price was pretty high for what it was. Noting spectacular

Kassidy was an outstanding waitress—she was attentive to our needs and very professional! The food was also delicious. The igloo atmosphere added a fun and festive touch to our experience. I did notice that upon entering the igloo, we had to bend down to get in and navigate around. I can only imagine that your wait staff must suffer from backaches, given how often they have to do that. They definitely deserve a complimentary chiropractor visit or massage once the igloos are taken down for the season!

Second time here and I can honestly say this is the worst service I have ever received from a restaurant that pretends to be high calibur. First was galentines celebration last year. took 20 mins to get server to table, 1 hr for food. server didn't seem to care, spilled wine in the table. didn't clean it up. we had to ask for it to be cleaned up, to which she brought napkins for us to do it. since she spilled the wine, there was none left. we had to ask for a replacement. she came with a carafe 1/8 filled and set it down (no new glass just the one with wine dribble on the side this time it was a $30 igloo rental (not including food). despite it being 11:30 and their breakfast ends at 11, the hostess told us it was still only breakfast. after waiting 10 mins with no server in sight (with 1 other customer in the whole place) i went in to requeat a server. server was behind the bar and snapped at me that she would be right out. 10 mins later she came out. we waited for 45 mins before our order was taken. 1 salad, 1 pasta and 1 grilled cheese came to $108. I realized why no one seemed to care that we were not properly taken care of. there was a built in 22% tip. for an “autograph collection “ hotel, this was horrendous. Lastly, they did not take Apple Pay. again, upscale restaurant in an upscale 5 star hotel? not even close. terrible.
