    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    Really great restaurant, we now have so many favorite dishes here! If you think you don't like vegetables, you have to come try Mayfield - it is amazing what they can do with carrots or cabbage or sweet potatoes! And their fried chicken is the best!

    View at Vea is a fantastic restaurant with a killer View…hence the name. Sheila greeted me upon arrival and was truly delightful! She was warm, ensured we got the very best table and came back to check on us and our service throughout the meal - she went above & beyond and we were truly impressed! Our waiter, Andres was equally as wonderful and warm. He was available for anything we needed but also gave us space to enjoy our meal & conversation. At the end of our meal, Andres surprised us with an array of beautiful desserts! We enjoyed our drinks and food immensely! We were celebrating a holiday get together and the hotel was decked out with great Christmas decor making for a festive and fun environment. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience at View!
