My bartender on Sunday the 5th was so friendly and awesome!

This place has such tasty macarons! The service is amazing, such wonderful staff, plus coffee that tastes great.

This place is very neat. Wine and dessert bar, with perfect ambiance for a nice evening. Dessert collection is just exquisite. Macaroons are claimed to be the best in town by Oregonian, I personally did not find them that great, I have had softer and fresh macaroons.

Nice!Love the space!!!!They need to have a few more affordable items on their menu...to get some different kinds of people there!Not just wealthy Laurelhurst Patrons!!!Have some different things there??French disco/French New Wave,night??

Great place for Spanish Tapas andxExcellent desserts...nice patio seating.

Sangria, tapas, flamenco. Any questions?

A million awards for wine selection and not one for server wine knowledge or service

Excellent wine, champagne, tapas, and macarons!

Bar Vivant is a lovely spot for truly authentic tapas, and a large selection of drinks to go with them. Being able to get anchovies in vinegar, ham croquettes, and a Belgian beer takes me back to some of my favorite travel experiences, and the Pix Patisserie dessert options continue to provide a thrill. I have two quibbles that keep me from adding the fifth star - the Tortilla Espanola (closer to an egg and potato frittata than a Mexican tortilla) is served with a drizzle of red and a white sauces. A well made Tortilla (and this one is very nicely done) doesn't really need any embellishment. I'll try to remember to ask for the sauce on the side next time. The other issue I have is that the servers didn't appear to have received enough training to do justice to the things on the menu. Bar Vivant has a lot of wonderful offerings, enough of them that they really deserve better descriptions and recommendations.

My liver still hates me
