    Great service and food was very good. One very small exception the scallop arugula risotto had a pool of oil in the bottom that was not appealing to the diner. No complaint was made to the server as it wasn’t a huge concern. All in all the dinner was very good with beautiful night views of the harbour lights. Thank you!

    This is an Annual New Years Day tradition… Breakfast at Vista 18. I always look forward to Efren being my server. He is a longtime Employee who provides excellent service. I enjoy going too Vista 18 during the year as well

    We were a group of 6 for brunch and cocktails. The drinks were great. The food was just moderate with exception of two steak dishes. The steaks weren’t even edible. We asked for medium rare and they came almost well done. Regardless of how they were prepared, they were also extremely tough to both cut and chew. What a disappointment. Although the two meals were taken off the bill it was not the Holiday brunch we were expecting and as the host, it was embarrassing. The server was pleasant but wore a mask so most of us couldn’t understand him. We thought that was weird. He also advised us that he could reorder but it would take a while to receive the meals. Unfortunately it wasn’t the experience we were hoping for.

    Amazing view and beautiful restaurant. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Wish they had a tenderloin instead of a strip loin on the menu but otherwise food was good.
