Viv's Kitchen and Cater

Viv's, Thank you for coming to Balsam Lake! This place was fantastic! We had the special pizza less peppers and the chicken salad to share. While we had an early lunch you can tell this place rocks in the evenings or if it doesn't it certainly will in due time. If your a local or just visiting this is a must place to eat. We will be back.

Food is great (when they are open!)! Portions are just small and kind of pricey for the small amount, but overall the environment is fun and the outdoor seating is nice! The staff is also very friendly!

Holy WOW!! Incredibly flavorful fantastic dinner tonight courtesy of Viv's. We ordered takeout and were supremely impressed with not just the flavorful dishes but how well they held up to-go.The Bruschetta had an amazing balance of tomato, cheese, and seasoning, and the accompanying garlic toasts were perfection. I absolutely loved the flavor explosion.My daughter had the flat bread pizza and it is the perfect degree of crispy to chewy, and the sauce is just plain delicious. This is simple, but artist level pizza.My wife and I had steak and chicken kabobs - the portions were generous, the marinades fantastic, and the garlic sauce an added bonus. We had both the tabouli and blazing salad and both were great.All around super excited to have this brand new restaurant in town!!My only constructive crit would be to stay open just a little bit later -- especially on Friday nights when weekender visitors are just getting up to town.

Have you ever been to one of those places where you do not know where to begin or end? We drove by this place by accident. To put it simply, the service is beyond outstanding. We Love Mark!! He knows the food so well! His suggestions were amazing. Aside from the spectacular food, I would come back because Mark made the experience that much better. Best kabobs and homemade garlic sauce I have ever had. Fish pita with homemade pineapple da. My husband said he wanted to stay and try several more things even though he is full! He literally has never said that at a restaurant in the 30 years we have been together. We have already googled how far we live from here. 45 miles. Not a problem! It is so worth it.

My family has tried Viv's a few times over the last couple of years. the decor and location with their outdoor seating is very nice.Their menu is a little over priced but not bad.The several of times we have been been there we have had our food come out incorrectly. It has been fixed a couple times, other times they say they brought out what was ordered and do nothing to try and fix it. Today they offered to fix it and then never did anything about it until after we were already done eating. When I went in to ask for a refund the guy behind the counter was unnecessarily sarcastic which came across as rude. If you go there just be prepared not to get exactly what you ordered and have nothing done to correct it.I'm done with the place.

Best chicken sandwich EVER!!! Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff! A definite stop in BL!

Fantastic Pitas and friendly service. I will definitely be back to try more of the many different menu choices. What a great addition to downtown Balsam Lake!

Sat outside on the patio for lunch today with 4 adults and 2 kids. Service was quick and friendly. The food tasted great and priced right. Really nice to have a unique spot like this in Balsam.
