   The two who ordered omelettes thought they were good. My avocado toast was fine, but the toast was brittle making it tough to cut.

   This is not our first experience at Vista 18 and in the past, it’s always been good. However, this time we were NOT impressed. It was for my wife’s 60th birthday and shortly after our meals arrived, the waiter said, “So how long are you planning on being here as the hostess needs the table for a group of 8 people” We found that inappropriate and rude. My wife’s sirloin steak was tough and full of fat. He recommended the ribs to me saying, “fall off the bone tender” NOT! They were over cooked, dry and so tough. We had hoped our elusive server would have at least asked how our meals were while our guests were eating theirs, but finally showed up after we finished picking at them, not leaving time to get them right or remedy them. Very disappointed

   Beautiful scenery 180 view of the ocean. Services excellent and very professional and prompt however brunch a little disappointing. Pork rib hash was tasty but about 1 tablespoon of meat on 3 ribs. Plenty of vegetables and good cappuccino

   We had a nice dining experience at Vista 18. The only issue was when we arrived for our reservation at 5:45 we were told to wait for 5 minutes while other people arrived and were seated right away. We had not asked for a specific table so wondered why? We did have good service once seated and very good food. The view we had was not the best as we faced downtown with all the new construction and cranes going on. Last time we were here we faced the water and the Inner Harbour which is preferable. Overall a pleasant experience.

   Our server was energetic and fun, short and quick banter but did not bother us more than he needed to. Perfect service.

    The flank steak and the herbal chicken with prawns were delicious. The service was great and the view was terrific. We really enjoyed the entire experience.
