We dined as two couples, our friends being regular customers. The atmosphere (upstairs) is relaxed and the decor understated.
The fish dishes were delicious (yellowtail tartare, langoustine ravioli, and then roasted sea bass). We shared the chocolate mousse for dessert: disappointing (too rich, soaked in olive oil, and sprinkled with fleur de sel) and predictable (this recipe is the latest trend in many restaurants). Overall, a very positive experience.
However, our experience was completely ruined by the welcome and the service. We waited at our table for almost an hour before our appetizers were served. Our waiter was apologetic, but the "head waitress" changed the subject whenever we tried to get her attention. We also waited a long time for our main course, and then for dessert. In total, we endured nearly three hours of service! We could have understood that this might happen, but the final straw was that, despite repeated apologies, particularly from the owner upon our departure, not a single gesture of goodwill was offered (regarding dessert, coffee, or anything else).
This lack of consideration for the customer, bordering on pettiness, is unacceptable, especially for a bill of over €80 per person.
We will not be returning.

The restaurant was good (a bit pricey for the quality, but especially for the quantity) and the service was only moderately friendly, as it wasn't at all kid-friendly. They wanted us to leave the restaurant quickly because our 5-month-old baby was sometimes making a bit of noise (no crying, just a baby discovering his voice).
It was a shame to feel like we were intruding, and especially to have to hear him...

Overall, a very pleasant evening.
A minor drawback was being seated on the ground floor instead of upstairs.
When we asked the waiter at the end of our meal what the difference was between the two floors, he told us they were the same and that we could go upstairs next time. However, we noticed that the people seated upstairs were mostly in suits and evening gowns, so I think the seating is based on the waiter's judgment and not on the restaurant's occupancy, which is a shame.
Everything was very good overall. The menu was a six-course affair, with the first three courses served simultaneously, including a salad. This is a bit unusual. A smaller portion is expected for an €89 menu. Everything is meant to be shared, which is nice at the beginning of the meal but perhaps not throughout.
The plates deserve a little attention so as not to get a chipped piece; these are important details for restaurants of this level.

I'd been walking past this restaurant for a while, and the menu always looked tempting. We opted for the tasting menu and were delighted. It's a shame they don't offer more cocktails (only one on the menu plus a mocktail). However, we tried the featured cocktail of the day (bergamot spritz) and it was delicious! The prices are reasonable for the quality, and the service is friendly.

Overall, a very good meal at Vive restaurant.
The service was truly excellent and pleasant, and the restaurant is beautiful. Even when it's full, you can easily chat with your table. As for the food, I loved my sea bass with its homemade purée and the strawberries for dessert—perfect for a summer meal! The oysters were good, but perhaps a little too cold because of the ice? My friend ordered whelks and gave me the same feedback. Aside from this minor detail (maybe we're just being picky!), I recommend it 100%!
