My husband and I had a lovely Sunday morning brunch. It was excellent! The quality of the eggs were so fresh, the menu was excellent and the coffee and fresh French bread to start made it extra special. Quality and double quality of great ingredients and a balanced menu. Highly recommend.

It was our first visit to La Vista. We will definitely return. The food was delicious and substantial. The service was outstanding. It was Christmas Eve and the restaurant was very well attended with a price fix menu. The selections were varied to satisfy any preference. It was crowded but the wait staff handled it without a hitch. They were amazing and actually made our evening pleasurable to the point of wanting to return. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
