    Food was great! As mentioned on their menu, some things run out quickly so if you have your eye on something specific or other specials, get there early and make sure to ask if they are out of something right away. I guess this is a way to know all things are fresh and never overstocked. Hopefully next time, we will get to try some of the things we missed out on like the calamari and tiramisu. Overall great dining and great service.

    Service was exceptional. Food was bland, not cooked correctly and overpriced.

    Service and ambience was great. The food wasn’t very good or worth the price. The smash burger was not a smash burger - it was a regular burger. The gnocchi was overcooked and didn’t taste fresh. My cocktail also wasn’t good. Service makes up for the poor food.

    Our experience at Vista was amazing. Our server, Jay, was so hospitable and knowledgeable of everything on the menu. He made us feel right at home. He patiently explained items on the menu that we were not familiar with. Our food was very tasty, and prepared to perfection. Our compliments to the chef.

    Nice restaurant. Limited menu . Pretty pricy for basic items like fish and chips and hamburgers. Food was good but value wasn’t.
