Viand is great! Picture this a group of 8 people in their mid-twenties who can't agree on what to eat & without reservations anywhere on Valentine's Day. Viand came to the rescue - the host seated us in their Private Room, and our mood went from hungry and grumpy to satisfied with the variety of food to eat and amused that you can control the music in your private room and people watch with the doors closed off to the rest of the bar scene.

Hidden Gem
by simonsezz
We had our Christmas Party there for 60 people and loved the personal touch we received from Dennis and his staff. We will be booking our next office party there. We especially loved the Martini Night Special, they had $6.50 Martinis. It just so happens that our party was on their Tuesday Martinin Special. The restaurant is a hidden Gem.
- Pros: Ambiance, Service
