Was recommended to try Viva after going to their sister restaurant Yummies. It did not disappoint. The view is off the bay and was gorgeous. We had an appetizer of guacamole and chips then ordered shrimp tacos, fish tacos and the smash burger. Both tacos plates had three tacos and was filled fully. The smash burger and fries was a very good. Would recommend.

Aesthetic open air bayside restaurant. The view of the bay is beautiful. Ambiance is casual. I enjoyed the sea biscuit cocktail and flounder and shrimp combo. The flounder was tender and well-seasoned. The shrimp were slightly over cooked and smaller than expected. The seasonal vegetables were stunning. They were cooked perfectly, maintaining their texture. Overall, a good experience and would go back.

My husband and I loved this place! It’s the only restaurant we ate at more than once. I’m trying to eat more veggies, so I ordered the cauliflower tacos, and they were so good! Seasoned cauliflower with charred corn doesn’t sound like much, but it turns out they go together very well! The jalapeno salsa was great, too! The red salsa had the perfect spice to it. The truffle fries didn’t look like they would be that great, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not my favorite cut of fries, but they were crispy and flavorful. My husband got the shrimp tacos blackened and loved them, I tried a shrimp and thought the blackened seasoning was spot on. He got a smash burger another time and said it was excellent. The brussel sprouts were so flavorful and cooked to the perfect texture.

Enjoyed an early dinner on Sunday evening. We arrived to no waiting list. Our server was great and the Margaritas even better! Our children really enjoyed their meals too.

Wow! This place is a hit night after night. Everything is amazing!! We have tried the blackened shrimp tacos, ceviche, cauliflower tacos, pork belly tacos, calamari, the steak n frites… all of it was so flavorful. The drinks are pricey but very good. We only eat at 2 restaurants when visiting, Yummies and Viva. If viva had gluten free buns for the hamburgers, it would be 10 star rating. The building is pretty, the view is wonderful and the food is great.

We arrived around 19:50 and it was packed. They put our name and number in the list to call us when our table was ready. It was around an hour wait but totally worth it. The place is quite pretty and colorful, furniture, bar, etc.. Food was super good, we ordered some crispy Brussel sprouts, shrimp tacos and watermelon feta salad; the sizes impacted us, very big and well served portions. Very tasty. The best thing about our whole experience was the service. Our waiter was very proactive, she knew well the menu, cause she gave us good recommendations for wine and dishes. Even the manager / owner was super attentive with us and came several times to out table to check we were okay. Overall we got a good experience, definitely coming back again.

This is a must visit restaurant when you are on the island. If your looking for delicious food that is fresh and prepared with love in every bite. Can’t wait to come back and try more plates.

Everything was fantastic and the view was amazing! I got the shrimp tacos which I expected to be good (and they were) but my husband got the smash burger and it was genuinely one of the best burgers we’ve had. Plus it was fun tasting our way through all of the cocktails on the menu.

Had lunch on a Sunday, despite it was crowded, we sat at the bar and ordered some refreshments and burgers. The burgers and fries were quickly served, the bartender was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is located on the bay side with excellent views in the evenings. Great place watch the sunset.
