    Absolutely love Vive! Such a cute dinner spot for a night out with a great ambiance. Definitely recommend the lobster rolls as an appetizer. As for the entree, can't go wrong with any of their pastas.

    Oysters

    Went for happy hour which had great specials. The service was attentive and pleasant. Food was just ok. I had the oysters and they were so small and lacked flavor. (I got them chargrilled and paid extra for it) I will go back and try more dishes but not immediately impressed with food but the service and atmosphere will bring me back to keep trying.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday at Vive in Bloomfield and had a lovely experience. Since it recently opened when we went, it wasn't very busy, but the interior was beautiful and very spacious. Service was attentive and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the starters, the caviar fries, and the spicy pasta--everything was flavorful and well done. Such a great spot for a relaxed celebration. Looking forward to coming back!

    What a beautiful restaurant! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really enjoyed my time visiting vive. Things I loved: One- free parking and the staff is very friendly. I did not see a valet option, just fyi. The decor on the outside and interior of the restaurant is very classy and beautiful. There was some music playing in the background and it is a little dim, inside. The ambiance is elegant with some fake trees inside and the tables are spread apart a bit which I liked. We got the calamari to start, Delicious sauce but no red sauce with it, it was more of a lemony garlic sauce which was tasty. I highly recommend the sourdough bread with the maple dip and the tomato basil dip, it was excellent. They had a very cool spooky cocktails menu which was full of creative and tasty sounding options, I got the lychee witchy drink which was great. I also got the lychee sparkling drink off the regular menu after and while the drinks were good I don't think there was much alcohol in them? So beware of that. I got a Caesar salad which was a great size portion wise, I split it with two of my friends as an appetizer. It wasn't the tastiest salad I've had but good portion for the price. For the main entree I got the spicy vodka chicken parmigiana. It came with two pieces of chicken (good portion) which were tasty but for some reason the pasta was colder whereas the chicken was hot? Kinda odd. I also wish the portion of pasta was bigger as it was tasty and wish it could be ordered as a main entree with chicken added even. So for the entree the chicken was great, but the pasta should've been warmer and also just wasn't as spicy and creamy as I would've wanted. For dessert we got the carrot cake which was delicious. All in all I would, I come back here as the menu is creative and diverse/ has unique flavors and the food is definitely delicious and the ambiance is gorgeous.

    We went here on a Friday night with a reservation and we're seated right away. Service was great. The cocktails were really good and had a nice presentation. We really enjoyed the calamari and it was a great portion size. When our entrées came, they were fresh and flavorful. Overall, it was a great experience and we would go back.

    I love that they personalize the menu for an event!

    We surprised my sister for her bday and decided to try Vive. I haven't been here since it was L George's and the remodel is beautiful. They have a private room that seats 24. The room was very pretty as well. First.... Service.... Phenomenal! They were very attentive, quick, and accommodating. Well done to both of our servers. I wish I got your names to call you both out. Second... drinks....excellent! I had the strawberry spritz with vodka. Finally... food... perfection! Every one of us loved our food and drinks! Well done to the owners, designers, and of course the amazing staff!!

    Okay I need to start of by saying I am pretty critical when it comes to a nicer restaurant. But GOSH DARN did this place blow it out of the water. Everything was fabulous. Our server, Lydia, was sweet as pie and let us take our time for my birthday dinner. The ambiance is beautiful, not too noisy and so moody. The food was incredible. My husband and I tried to rank everything and we couldn't. I cannot wait to come back!!

    Such a cute restaurant! They have a festive drink menu for the holidays and the drinks were all good! Food and service was great too!

    I had a fantastic experience! The waiter was polite, the food offered a great variety, and everything was fresh--the salad was crisp, and the steak was cooked to perfection. The selection of appetizers really stood out for us!

Lone Lights is a place that makes their own spirits, which you can purchase, and also sample with a menu that rotates seasonally.

The bar atmosphere is great and I look forward to summer when they can open up the doors and we can spread out a little bit more. The bar isn't huge inside so it can crowd at busy times, but the staff hustles and are all super friendly. It's a favorite for almost everyone in our neighborhood!

I arrived early to sample their Happy Hour where I got a Tommy Margarita which was one of four cocktail choices on the Happy Hour menu where the other choices are an Old Fashion, Lemon Drop Martini and a Black Manhattan. All of which I personally am a fan of. Relative to my Margarita, it was very well made with 2 full ounces of Blanco Tequila as the base and quite tasty. Definately a drink with a kick and not a watered down version you get at most other bars in the area. At $8 it's a pretty good deal in my opinion especially for a drink of this quality. Relative to Dinner my wife got the White Fish dinner and I got the Milanese Chicken. Both dishes were excellent where they were cooked to perfection and were delicious. Prices on the menu were a tad high in my opinion but the old adage that you get what you pay for applies here and is definately worth the cost in my opinion. Appetizer was the Calamari which was well made and quite tasty in its own right. Relative to staff and facility, the facility is very classy with a nice contemporary flair to it, Definately an upscale feel to it where both the bar and the dining area offer an elevated dining/drinking experience. Staff was super friendly with great follow up where the bar can be a tad slower as only one bartender was working while I was there but he did a fairly good job of keeping up with the orders and high marks for his efficiency. Overall a great classy restaurant with a nice Happy Hour makes this a destination restaurant worth the trip if you live outside this area. For discerning customers who prize Quality in what they eat and drink this is a business not to be missed!

There is a downstairs area (with bar), upstairs area and outdoor seating for when the weather is nicer. We completely lucked out and got the private room upstairs even though we didn't book it specifically. I loved the location being in the historic district, and they did an amazing job with restoring the mill into a cute restaurant. I had scoped everything out ahead of time so had adjusted my expectations for smaller portions and ordered accordingly. Unfortunately they don't have their cocktail menu online and I can't recall the name of what I ordered but it was very good. Everyone in our party was happy with their drinks. For food, we started with the monkey bread (10/10) - outstanding! The Caesar salad was also tasty. I got the mussels, which had really nice flavor and the sausage was a welcome addition - I just wish it had come with an extra toast or 2 for the broth. The smoked sturgeon was interesting - marinated and smoked for hours - you don't find that many places so I had to try, and really enjoyed it but wow the cornbread almost stole the show in that dish. Nobody cared for the pickled vegetables. Burger was a winner and really big actually. Dessert we got an assortment and the fan favorite was the creme brulee. They came and cleared dishes between courses, kept water glasses full, etc. and service was overall pretty top notch.

We got lucky that they were able to seat us after a short wait. We were planning on taking seats at the bar (first come). If you want a table, you may want to make reservations. The restaurant is a house, lovely without being pretentious. With low lighting and low nose level, it would be perfect for a date. It has a New England feel, which makes sense as an oyster house, though they offer oysters from both coasts. The service was fantastic, particularly from our server Christina. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and had great timing, not an easy combination. My friend and I split the oyster roll and the fish special. The roll is a small plate, and it is very much appetizer sized, not meal. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I will note that they are pricy, I thought the cocktail prices were high for outside of the city. But otherwise a wonderful experience.

We weren't allowed to sit next to each other (understandably so, the seats are designed for two/four people to sit across from each other like normal) so that made it easiest to just quiet up and listen to the music. I have no problem with that, the singer was great! The waitress was kind for even checking with the manager to see if we could adjust the seating arrangement.

    From Retro Bliss to Corporate Miss - 1Up's New Management Hits Rock Bottom…read more.. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. 1Up Arcade Bar, once my go-to haven for arcade nostalgia and friendly vibes, has devolved into a shell of its former self. Under the new management, the experience has gone from retro joy to something resembling a garish corporate money pit. If you're looking to relive the good old days of arcade glory, consider this your neon-lit warning sign to stay far, far away. First off, the bartenders. Remember last year when 1Up's bartenders were warm, cheerful, and chatty, making you feel like you were part of the family? Well, those days are deader than my high score on Pac-Man. The new bartenders treat you with the exact enthusiasm you'd expect from someone waiting at the DMV. Ordering a drink here feels like you've personally interrupted their day--and heaven forbid you ask any questions about the menu. Smiles? Gone. Friendly banter? Vanished. You're left standing there with your overpriced, uninspired drink wondering if you've wandered into a soulless high-end cocktail bar by mistake. Ah, the drinks. Once playful and creative masterpieces that added to 1Up's charm, they've been replaced with pretentious, unimaginative concoctions that scream, "We're fancy now; please empty your wallet." No fun, no spirit (pun intended), just overpriced disappointments. At their current price point, I half expected the drink to come with complimentary resentment from the staff. And don't get me started on the arcade machines. Gone are the iconic retro classics that made me feel like I'd stepped back into the golden age of arcades. Instead, the place is now stuffed with bright, flashy, wallet-draining horrors you'd find at a Dave and Buster's. What happened to the charm? The authenticity? Now it's just a playground for toddlers with no attention spans and those who value flashing lights over actual gameplay. Speaking of, if you're a Gen Z-er armed with your parents' credit card and an inability to go three seconds without dopamine overload, this place might actually be a dream come true for you. The rest of us? Not so much. Look, 1Up Arcade Bar used to be a gem, but now it feels like a soulless cash grab. Don't come here hoping for a genuine arcade bar experience because you'll leave disappointed--and poorer. Save your time, save your money, and spare yourself the heartbreak of seeing what this place has become. RIP, old 1Up. You are sorely missed.
