An excellent meal, we asked for a good sized table away from noisy groups which was offered. The service was perfectly paced and the staff polite and attentive. Vivido is fast becoming the best restaurant in Harrogate.

Well worth the money. It's not the cheapest around but it's one of the few places where you get what you pay for. The food is outstanding, the staff is knowledgeable and soooo helpful and go above and beyond. They listen to their customers and know what to recommend but will also make their own personal suggestions. Jeremy is a proper chilled man but he makes your experience very enjoyable. Can't fault the place
