I've been to Key West many times, and somehow missed out on Viv, but I'll be a regular during future visits. Excellent wine selection, and good food with particular awesome charcuterie boards.It's tiny, so reservations are highly recommended.

Busy night with live music. Service was super slow as they were understaffed, but we had a fun time regardless. Food and drink were just what we wanted.Dietary restrictions: Had goat cheese options for charcuterie board.

We stopped by here for a quick bite and drink before our dinner reservation. Since timing was tight, we requested our cheque upfront. That cheque never came, nor did the bread to accompany the charcuterie board.. It took asking an additional three times.The food was generally fine. Great location with lively music.

We had the best breakfast at the connected crepery and it was terrific so we wanted to try the attached bistro for dinner. Our expectations were high given the excellent breakfasts... what a disappointment!! Beef bourguignon tasted like Ditty Moore with a splash of cheap wine. The beef filet was Shoe Leather!! The meat trio wasn't edible and smelled like a barnyard covered in grease. My wife says I'm too critical but I don't think so.

Great place for wine tasting and charcuterie snacks of all sizes. We ordered a larger charcuterie platter that included duck and it was delicious. The power actually went out on the entire island but our server still was attentive and helpful. If you have a long wait for Blue Heaven across the street, this is a great place for pre-dinner wine. Plenty of inside seating at bar or tables as well as high tops outside to enjoy the nice weather of key west.

A friend of ours was playing some jazz at ViV so we stopped by to support him. Never been before and never really been down Petronia though we have been in the keys for 7 years or so. This is a wicked cool European feel bistro. Great wine selection. My wife had some wine, me a cappuccino. We had just eaten so were not hungry for food, but the desert crepes enticed. Our choice was amazing. L'AMOUR DE BAIEl with BERRIS COULIS CHANTILLY. Yahoo. Went great with my wife's Malbec. So the 5 stars for the music, ambience, and desert. We will definitely be back. Sat outside on the porch. Great service, clean bathrooms. Worth a visit. Went back for dinner. Wow. Had a stuffed avocado with chèvre, smoke salmon, toasted almonds I think, and cornichons. Then an English cake salad with mango and maybe feta and some kind of vinaigrette-outstanding. The a duck entre with leg, thigh, breast and pate. Absolutely wonderful dinner. Excellent service. We shared the meal accompanied by a very nice Malbec.

This review is pretty simple. If you don't love Viv, you are likely a complete idiot. And your parents are not proud.

This place is a true gem! The service was incredible—Julia made phenomenal recommendations. She even went above and beyond to bring us a wine made with grapes with our last name (she noticed it from the reservation!). The cheese board she put together based on our wine choice was spot-on, it was a magical food moment. I can't recommend Viv Wine Bistro enough.

The place is a hidden gem! The staff, the aesthetic, and service is fantastic. If you're looking for a place to kick back and enjoy a nice glass of wine, this is it!
Fantastic wine and food! The service here was phenomenal and the Godfather charcuterie board is a must! The included bread was some of the best we have had and paired very well with their goat cheese and a touch of honey. Variety of wines are available at fair prices and pours are very generous. Do keep in mind that there was only 1 person taking orders and serving the food, so the wait can be slightly above average. Still, this wine bar was fantastic and we highly recommend visiting if you're in Key West!

Lovely wine, amazing cheese and charcuterie, and service is always pleasant. I've never been to France, but it's what I imagine a wine bar in France to feel like.

Best resturant in Key West! We stopped for a glass of wine and stayed for a wonderful dinner and dessert. The chocolate fondue was insane. The wine was delicious. It was the closest dinner to being in France we have ever had.

Love this place! Best wine bar I've found in all south FL. Literally I come all the way from Miami just to go here.
