Vive has a stylish, well-designed space, but the atmosphere is pretty loud with the music and everyone talking over it. The menu seems promising, but some dishes need refining. We started with a few appetizers, but they were underwhelming—the braised lamb bite was cold and flavorless, and the Caesar salad didn’t taste like a real Caesar. The calamari was decent but needed more of a kick. After that, we decided to skip dinner altogether. Surprisingly, the sourdough ended up being the star of the show. On the bright side, the drinks were solid, and our server, Sierra, was fantastic—funny, attentive, and easily the highlight of the night. With some tweaks to the food, this place could be much better!

Vive is a modern restaurant with an incredible culinary experience. The rose drink was refreshing and paired perfectly with their unique caviar fries. The salads were fresh and flavorful, and the hamburger was one of the best I’ve ever had—juicy, well-seasoned, and expertly crafted. Highly recommend a stylish dining experience with amazing food!

Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious - the chef is so creative. The staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. We were initially seated at a very small table, but the hostess relocated us after noticing our disappointment. It was appreciated.

Vive Restaurant made a positive first impression during my recent Friday evening visit. Arriving at 5:00 PM was ideal, allowing us to settle in before the dinner rush, which seemed to pick up around 6:00-6:30 PM. We were pleased to be seated without a reservation. Our server was genuinely friendly and attentive, making an effort despite his apparent unfamiliarity with the new menu – something understandable. The food was a definite highlight. Each dish was thoughtfully seasoned, but the lobster sliders truly stole the show; they were phenomenal and a must-try. My lamb, while flavorful and well-seasoned, was slightly tough, and the unusual cut made it a bit challenging to cut easily. My dining companion thoroughly enjoyed her pasta, praising its delicious seasoning. The dessert, a strawberry shortcake featuring homemade-tasting strawberry ice cream, was a nostalgic delight, bringing back fond memories of childhood ice cream pops. While I opted for pop on this occasion, the cocktail menu looked impressive and is definitely on my list for my next visit. The restaurant has a charming ambiance, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. With what appeared to be sufficient seating, Vive also seems like a good option for small to medium-sized groups (around 8-10 people). I'm already looking forward to my return visit. #dinner #restaurant #metrodetroit #westbloomfieldmichigan #restaurantreview

First time at this pretty new West Bloomfield restaurant that took over the former Georges. The restaurant was completely remodeled which was necessary as the restaurant converted from a casual greek/family restaurant to an "upscale" restaurant. They did a nice job with it as the space is warm and cozy compared to what it was previously. There were four of us at dinner this evening. Our friends shared the braised lamb bites appetizer which they said were good but on the dry side. They requested some additional sauce that came with the lamb bites which did make the dish more enjoyable. I ordered a caesar salad which was rather unique and outstanding. I highly recommend that. My wife had the short rib bolognese and said it was the best pasta she has had in some time. Unlike many bolognese where the chef overwhelms the pasta with too much sauce, this dish featured the excellent pasta with just enough sauce to make the dish work. One of our friends had the tortellini which she enjoyed. The waiter had cautioned my wife that this dish was spicy. It most definitely was not. He told us after dinner that the chef had reworked some pastas since they first opened and they must have removed the spice from this dish. (they also removed the cacio e pepe much to my dismay). Our other friend ordered the king salmon with rissoto. He had to send the dish back as risoto was way too salty. They made it for him again and it was better the second time except the risotto was not good.....it was more like wet or mushy rice. On the positive side, he said the salmon was good. I ordered the steak frites. I was surprised when it arrived as it was a "whole" steak (ribeye) when I have always seen steak frites sliced. The steak was good not great. The shoe string fries were good. We shared a strawberry Dubai chocolate for dessert which everyone thought was good. The restaurant was very busy for a Saturday night. Minor gripes: No bread..only bread service for I think $8. I know this is becomingly increasingly common but I still don't like it. Also, our water glasses stood empty most of the night. Just a pet peeve of mine..please make sure to make the rounds and fill your customers' water glasses. If I could give Vive 3.5 stars I would but I thought given how new the restaurant is, I would give them a 4 rather than a 3. I do think Vive has potential but I feel like they are still working out the kinks. I would suggest giving them a couple of months and then giving it a try. In the meantime, I would not hesitate to stop in if you feel like a great caesar and some good pasta, both of which are moderately priced by today's standards as are the wines by the glass. We look forward to trying it again in the near future.
