"We had a lovely Mother’s Day brunch, including the steak hash, eggs Benedict, French toast, omelet, and fish sandwich. Food was tasty and well portioned and priced. Service was attentive, quick, and friendly. The inside of the restaurant was decorated nicely with nautical themes and clean"

"We visited Chatham on a Saturday and fell into Viera for dinner. The restaurant was busy so we got a lovely seat up at the bar counter. The service was fantastic, and our scallops were delicious. Really enjoyed the glass of wine and the chocolate sundae too!"
Laura Smith
"Viera on Main is a must in you are in Chatham! The Hubby and I had the steak frites, and it was absolutely divine—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I am very picky about my steaks and they have consistently gotten it right. The service is top-notch, warm and attentive without being overbearing. Every time we’re in Chatham, we make sure to stop by not just once, but multiple times—it's that good. This trip we are going 3 times. I was thrilled to see they carry my favorite Sancerre, and the chocolate mousse? Flawlessly executed, which is no easy feat. Viera is truly a gem on Main Street. Highly recommend!"
