as very accommodating to every request we had / last minute change. We had the back bar for our rehearsal dinner, which was beautiful, and the front patio for our welcome party, which was also beautiful and a great space to catch up with all of our guests! The staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious! We are so happy with our decision to host our events at Viera and would do it again in a heartbeat!

We were so grateful to Viera for our hosting our Rehearsal Dinner! The night was magical and that was because from the start of the process to the day of to the finish Viera truly ...
committed themselves to ensuring we had everything we needed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about their open and direct communication, their overall professionalism, and kindness. Alfred worked with us closely to make sure the day was special and that everything ran smoothly. We also greatly appreciated his suggestion of a small appetizer and cocktail hour to help get our guests mingling and settled before we began the plated meals. It was clear they were veterans!!
The atmosphere and food was superb! Our guests gushed to us about each course and we agreed! There were a wide array of options to choose from, and from the appetizers and cocktail course all the way through the dessert everything was worth writing home about! Juxtaposed with a beautiful maritime environment, including a real size ship’s wheel, we were transported, and it was an evening we know we will never forget.
Importantly, they were extraordinarily accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that the needs of all our guests were met. Our group was large: 41 individuals. Of those individuals nearly a 3rd of them had a dietary restriction, and of note, many of those restrictions were not identical. This was a big stressor for us in preparing for our rehearsal dinner, but working with Viera, those worries dissipated immediately. They worked with us ahead of time looking at the menu and options to make sure that they were prepared and that each of our guests could appropriately be accommodated.
All in all, Viera provided us with a warm, welcoming environment, with delicious food, and we’d be delighted to work with them again. We highly recommend them because we know they will make your day as special as ours. Thank you Viera!!!

We hosted my son's rehearsal dinner and welcome party here and everything was excellent start to finish. Working with Alfred was a dream- easy, accommodating and responsive. Food i...
s excellent! Staff is kind and friendly and efficient. Couldn't have asked for a better place- it was casual, warm and superb food and drink. So much better than any hotel venue could have been. Thank you to everyone at Vieras for a memorable event. I might mention that we also earlier in the summer for a test run and the food was terrific then- so not they were not just catering to the event.
