The staff were hospitable and courteous from the moment we stepped through the entrance. The facility is lovely - beautifully appointed. Our server at lunch - Angelique - couldn't have been more friendly yet professional. The food presentation was picture-worthy and my guests were really pleased with their meals. My mussels were salty and somewhat dry with the fries being luke-warm so perhaps my meal sat for a while. Overall, I highly recommend the place for a meal or a special occasion (meeting, wedding, etc).

I took my sister for her birthday dinner to the Vista. I wish I could give it an eight out of five. Our waitress Cindy was so friendly. We felt like we knew her. This was a special night for my sister and she could not believe the quality of the food. I think she thanked the waitress about 10 times how amazing the food was. We will definitely be back. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu.

My fiend and I were very excited to have lunch at The Vista. First impressions upon entering the lobby were excellent! The staff was very courteous and we were immediately ushered to our seats. The hostess was very patient as we took a minute to decide where to sit. Our waitress was wonderful and the sommelier was very helpful in finding a wine that I had seen on their website but was not on the current wine list. The food was quite disappointing however. The mixed greens side salad was rather limp and very over salted. The Focaccia dish ok but the bread was rather dense and on the dry side. When I ordered my cappuccino, I had neglected to ask for decaf but he waitress very graciously replaced it with a smile. The music was extremely loud. It was hard to hear the staff when they spoke to us, but when I asked if they would mind lowering the volume, they were happy to do oblige. Overall, my friend and I very much enjoyed the restaurant, but if we return, I’m hoping the food quality will improve.

We’ve tried to come to this place for dinner many times in the past, but, for one reason or another missed the opportunity to do so. The Seafood tapas was amazing for starters! We then had the basil halibut with gnocchi..equally amazing. For desert we shared the apple tart with caramel salted ice cream. Honestly, we’ve been to a lot of places in the city that can’t compare to this place. Also, a great bottle of wine and coffee. What more can you ask for? The view was spectacular. Will definitely be back soon! The music was a lovely surprise. Excellent choice of music and the singer and 3 piece band we’re talented.

We enjoyed our meal. Ordered halibut. It came with gnocchi which is not a favourite of either of us that ordered it. The halibut was moist and delicious. The basil crust was too strong for my taste but looked appealing. Those who had the lamb raved about it. Perfectly done medium as requested. Desserts were amazing. All in all a great time at a very unique venue.

Excellent experience from start to finish. We were greeted with a warm and friendly smile. The food was outstanding, offering a great variety of options for everyone. The service was exceptional, with Scott giving us a small tour of the grounds prior to our departure. This was our first visit… but definitely won’t be our last!

This was our first time visiting the restaurant and we were impressed by the service and ambience right away. The music playing was a nice added touch and a welcome change from regular boring dinner music. The food was exceptional!! The portions were more than we expected which made it worth the money spent. We had an excellent experience overall. Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgeable about the resort which was nice.

Early days for this spot but it’s GORGEOUS! Food was executed perfectly and the wine which we were able to discuss with a sommelier, was delish. We took the remaining home as I was DD. Then I could finish it 😊. The overall plans for this vast property are impressive and we hope to return soon. Trust me… get in now… the place will be a hot spot without a doubt. The decor is modern and so luxurious, makes you feel like you must be royalty and to be there. The staff were so lovely it really put the whole experience over the top. My hubby and I plan to return, with friends!
