I sat upstairs once and it was incredibly noisy, but it was a packed Saturday night.\n\nThe only reason I'm not giving it \"5 stars\" is because of the rancid mussel in my bowl at lunch one day. They offered to replace the dish which seemed unappetizing at the time. If I owned the place, I would have offered another appetizer selection on the house, but they just took it off the bill and said no more. I have ordered the mussels since on another visit and they were exceptional. Although, if you're on a low sodium diet, find another selection. The broth is divine, but major salty.\n\nVivace is a good choice for any occasion..."^^ . .
