So here we are, strolling along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach with the magnificent Atlantic Ocean to our east searching for a trendy restaurant to sit and relax and enjoy a nice dinner. Not knowing where we were going, a good samaritan recommended a new restaurant called VIVI Ristorante (pronounced vee-vee).
We decided to take his recommendation and check out VIVI Ristorante. Little did we know that we stumbled into a restaurant that exceeded all of our expectations. As we entered the restaurant, we all turned to each other with the same look on our faces: "THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!"
The wait for a table was typical for Miami Beach since this place was smokin' hot! But we did not mind whatsoever. So we started with drinks at the bar and soaked in the incredible atmosphere until our table was ready.
The service was extremely up-beat and it seemed as if the entire wait staff was there to serve only us! As our food was delivered we all noticed that the presentation of each dish was extremely gorgeous and as we began to eat, each bite was absolutely scrumptious! We all chose different entrees which allowed us to sample each others savory entrees. As we finished our dinners, we sat back and gazed around the room only to notice that the Miami Heat's very own Shaquille O'Neal was sitting at a table right next to us! What are the chances???
After this phenominal meal, the incredible atmosphere and even a celebrity sighting, we all knew this would not be the last time we would be dining at VIVI Ristorante. 'BocaRaton.com & The Bites! Network' will definitely be back to VIVI Ristorante very soon!
