    Crab Cakes
    Noah S.

    Went to vive tonight for the first time with my wife and newborn baby. The staff was friendly and welcomed us immediately upon entry. We were sat quickly and the brought out the highchair at the same time. We started with the crab cakes and French onion soup! The soup was perfectly prepared and very delicious 8.9/10. The crab cakes on the other hand were boring had little flavor very disappointed 4.0/10. Then we had the wagyu burger with fries and a side of baked Mac and cheese. The burger was excellent I would recommend to anyone 8.7/10. The Mac was delicious as well 7.5/10. We did bread service as well for my Son, it came with a pesto butter light and fluffy ($9) seemed a bit excessive to charge that much for bread. Decor was very interesting, they had trees growing out of their center booths I loved it! 4/5 fells very fair taking into account food quality, value, decor and service. We will be back, next time to try desserts!

    This steak was an impressive 10/10. Cooked to perfection and melted like butter! I will definitely be back again for this soon. We hosted a party here and they have a nice big private room. Service is 10/10. Nicest servers!

    $18 for a shot of vodka! And an additional $4 for a mediocre martini.  I will choose to spend my money elsewhere.

    Tell me you don't want me to patronize your restaurant without saying it. We were a party of 8. So the tip was automatic. And clearly the server knew that. So we were basically ignored. We wer offered still or sparkling water. We said still and assumed it was tap...not $24 bottle of water. And the food was mid at best. I won't be back.

    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!

    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.

    Exterior

    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.

    Consistency is key to a great restaurant and once again Vive hit it out of the park with service, ambience and quality! Will continue to be our favorite place to dine in the area.

    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!!

Lone Lights is a place that makes their own spirits, which you can purchase, and also sample with a menu that rotates seasonally. Their drinks are unique and provide a variety of things to experiment with for flavors. There is a membership you can buy that gives you a coaster, discounts off drinks and merch, and access to events. 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!

For a smaller place there are plenty of seats, and we were served very quickly once we grabbed a spot. There are a lot of specialty drinks on the menu - all were fall themed so I assume that this list will change with the seasons. We got the Ships in the Night, the Seance, and two different old fashions to try (don't remember the names but one came smoked with a marshmallow)! I really enjoyed the Ships in the Night and the Seance - I'd definitely order these two again.

    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.
