Honest American food with big flavors that utilizes the bountiful products of the region and the rich history of European cuisine. Dine-in on the Patio or Take Out with “Vivian At Home”. Vivian is a small cozy home we’d like you to think of as your own. Josiah and Shannon McGaughey began the journey of opening a restaurant as a mere tabletop kitchen pop-up inside Burial Beer Co. in 2015. Vivian is named after Josiah’s grandmother who was a driving force in his culinary upbringing as she hosted grand dinner parties in a Julia Child-like fashion during his childhood in Georgia. Josiah’s menu continues to explore the work he’s already presented at Salt & Smoke, but he challenges himself to elevate cuisine within our comfortable, casual dining space. The food is clean, with limited elements to a plate, but with each one promising big, robust flavors. He focuses on combining the perfect mix of tastes across appetizers, small plates, entrees, and desserts while continuing to explore the melding of European flavors and techniques into the realm of his Southern heritage.
