Dinner
In the menu at Vivian, we explore the melding of European flavors and techniques into the realm of our Southern heritage.
DINNER MENU
Menu is subject to daily changes, if there is a dish you are particularly coming in for please call and ask if its still available!
We no longer serve our Fried Chicken special on any days and no longer can accommodate take out orders!
Kindly note it’s very difficult for us to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diets; we never have a set vegetarian entree on the menu, but check out starters and shareables to see if our menu is a good fit for ya!
If you book a reservation for our patio, please plan on wearing layers—the heaters keep folks nice and cozy up temps as low as 30 degrees, but its still winter y’all! Also, please know it is likely we will be unable to swap your patio reservation inside on the day of as we tend to book out weekly.
