Quaint little place with great ocean view and fantastic food. No set menu, whatever she has fresh. No set times as hours are when she chooses. A must try

Loved the food. Stewed chicken was great. My wife got the oxtail and loved it, but not as much as the potatoe salad that came with each of our meals which was a 10 and would bring us back for more by itself!The location is right on the beach and had inside seating which was a plus for us because the flies are annoying to deal with when eating outside this time of the year.You can't beat the price for the quality of the food you get here. It was our first time in the islands and this place came recommend to us by others who were visiting.It's nothing fancy, just good ol soul food for a great price!

Tasty and organic, natural well cooked food. A quiet nice cozy place away from the touristic area. Simplicity without compromising quality and originality. Please be aware they only accept cash and check. Would highly recommend.

Excellent local food. If you are staying in 7 Mile Beach or West Bay like most other tourists, one long drive over to the East end is worth it for you to get a feel for the other, quiet side of the island. And when you are in East end, Miss Vivine's kitchen is a place to go for local Caymanian food.

Glad we got to try this local restaurant. The special of the day conch stew is really good. The pineapple rum cake is the best I've tasted.

Occasionally I go out east. So my friend pulls into Vivian's kitchen and I said I've never been here and it's a little on as you're walking in like to the left there's like this chicken coop with all white chickens I don't know must have been like 20 of them or something maybe more then it seems to be a little chaos about how to order or where to go or whatever but we did get our food and we took a table overlooking the ocean and neither one of us really talk much when we were eating we are West Indian of course but I thoroughly enjoy the experience and good food good times

Loved the food and our host! Limited seating inside, but plenty outside. Parking very limited at the place but some area available to the south. Great prices and true home cooking. Grouper, snapper excellent. Great drinks as well. Finish it off with carrot, rum, and chocolate cake. 120us fed the 6 of us with some to take home.

**CASH ONLY** Typical East End experience: Absolutely amazing food, but no A/C, slow service but with a smile, limited drink options. Vivine's has the best rice & peas on the entire island in my opinion, her curry chicken is mouth watering too. You are literally eating at someone's house. There is a great view of Wreck Of Ten Sails from the outdoor seating, which is also next to a dove coop. Worth the hour drive from Seven Mile for sure, especially if you are checking out other east end experiences like the blowholes or parrot sanctuary for ex.
