Vivace is our special occasion place. It is expensive but the service is great, they have a good wine by the glass selection and 4 older women with very different tastes in wine and food can all find something they enjoy. If you’re looking for the latest trends in fine dining this may not be for you but if you want a carefully prepared dinner with top quality ingredients then Vivace is an exceptional choice.

At Culinary Dropout, raise your glass to friends coming together. A place where food and music are life. Join us at happy hour for ice cold beer and our famous soft pretzels with provolone fondue. At dinner, a signature cocktail and slow braised 36-hour pork ribs are a perfect pair. While you and your crew enjoy damn good food and drinks, a local band plays live for great vibes. Come hang out and stay a while.

I’ve always had a goodexperience at this location, but my most recent visit was the best by far. Someone in our party had dietary restrictions (gluten and vegetarian). The manager greeted us for our reservation and I asked him him suggestions. He gave us the perfect dish suggestion. In fact, when he went into the kitchen and made sure it was going to be cooked correctly. Everyone else on staff was amazing as well. We had the best interactions with the entire team. I would highly recommend this place for every occasion.

6 of us dined on a Thursday night. The place was packed but our reserved table was waiting for us. We shared appetizers, meatballs, eggplant and calamari that were all excellent. The eggplant was my favorite ! Several of us had the creamy risotto with peas, langastinos crispy pancetta bits and perfectly grilled shrimp perched on top. 2 got salmon which was cooked perfectly and served with beautiful yellow beats. 1 enjoyed the baby clam pasta dish. We all had coffees and despite the beautiful dessert menu we didn’t have room for a bite more. As a matter of fact we had leftovers!! Well done!

I tried to order the chicken salad but they were out of chicken at noon on a Monday. Very strange. The pasta dishes my dining companions ordered were great. I tried the arugula salad with salmon. The salmon was fine but the rest of the salad was boring.

It was our first visit to Sullivan’s & it did not disappoint. Wonderful menu & beverage list. Hostesses were welcoming upon arrival & gracious upon our departure. Our waiter was Nico. Very pleasant. The rack of lamb was wonderful as was the filet mignon. - both were prepared to perfection. We would recommend Sullivans. An observation - interesting to see how other diners dress. Times have changed. Baseball caps & athletic attire apparently is a trend that is here to stay. Sullivan’s diners should treat the establishment with the respect it deserves. ( Just sayin’! 😊) Thank you Sullivan’s for a delicious & memorable dining experience.

It was a busy Thursday night so go at the not-so-busy 7pm hour rather than 5:30-6:15. Food and drinks were excellent. Service professional but not intrusive. Management responsive to comment that music in dining area was too loud and inappropriate. Manager, Ray, stopped by our table to chat a bit, and wished us a very happy anniversary. On a personal note, we don’t eat out often, but have decided when we do, it will only be to The Keg.

I have never been, but only heard good things about this place especially with the new chef! Can’t wait to go back for the next menu change, because everything I had was amazing. Had one of each of the oysters, chorizo one was my favorite. I am a big seafood person so we ordered the halibut and the salmon special. Both were amazing, I couldn’t pick my favorite. I do recommend getting the burrata-that was an amazing appetizer. For drinks I got the Saturn which was delicious. Serving was great! Really excited for this new chef and what he comes up with next! Such talent!!!
