Vivace - Park Hyatt Aviara - Carlsbad

We are locals from San Diego and decided to do a golf package at the Aviara. Everything about Aviara was better than expected but the food at the restaurant, Vivace, was the biggest surprise. Apparently they have brought in the chef from the Inn at Little Washington. Anyway the dishes are complex, beautiful and delicious, something you would expect at a top tier pricier restaurant. Its definitely on my top 5 list. Can’t wait to go back!

Our waitress became tremendous exceptional and beneficial in recommending to us what the maximum famous choice's had been. Ask for the wine tasting to go together with your meals at the dinner. would fairly advise doing that if your no longer positive what you would like to attempt as a ways as wine is going.

Introduction: we are foodies, sampled the top end of Michelin around the world, gravitate towards quality nostalgic formal and classical, not into bar grill and loud happy hour. New to north county, we finally concluded that our best hope was in the resort hotels. Vivace is our best find yet. I donned an off-white dinner jacket and felt at home. This was also our first introduction to the Park brand. Researched it further, confirmed it is a destination property, saw it has very high visibility in the Hyatt portfolio. Would consider a Park when in New York Paris Milan Zurich etc.

Best italian food in San Diego county. Expensive, but worth it. Very pretty setting and pleasant live jazz guitar on the weekend. They will give you a prix fixe menu, which can be intimidating, but you can also order a la carte, which is good because the set menu is a lot of food. You have to ask for the a la carte menu. There is always something unusual and I've never been disappointed. Unfortunately the service is slow.

Being from NY I'm definitely not new when it comes to restaurants . Great wines without a doubt. The food was good but to much added stuff around it that takes the acual real being away. I know it makes the plate look great and they want to make you feel like the money was well spent but it was overdone. Froie gras would of been fantastic on its own with just a bit of bread like in Europe not with all of this added extra. Simplicity goes a long way. Good restaurant but time to move on for me many othesr to try.
