    The food was great! We were able to go out on the porch and take a quick photo while we waited on our meals. We didn’t feel rushed out and we were able to chill for as long as we wanted to. Definitely recommend going here for a special occasion

    We have been to Vue a few times . Mostly good but this trip was a disappointing one at best . They were not that busy , in fact less than 1/2 tables seated . The servers seemed to be not so happy . This always bothers me . Ordered spring rolls . 2 for $13.00 is ridiculous pricing . And they were very small As well . Seafood platter , frying was good but I never had 2 pieces of grouper that consisted mainly of the blood lines . Almost no white meat at all . Really the meat was at best gray colored from blood line bleed over. Pretty bland and old tasting . I will never understand why a supposedly great restaurant chooses to use those awful coated fries . They might stay crunchy all day but they have no potato flavor what so ever . If your a chef and can’t make in house fries then you ain’t no chef . Your are just lazy and owe Cisco the bill for crappy food . This seems to be a norm though. Crinkle cuts at least don’t taste like the coating. Please please fix this . The Caesar salad was Ok but it could have been better . Might be a long time before going here again .

    Great views. Great bourbon selection. Staff was excellent. Food was way overpriced. Favorite was the bacon wrapped venison. Everything else I ate, including the salad and calamari and fish of the day, was covered in a sweet sauce and distracted from the fresh flavor of the food hidden underneath its cloying sugary sweetness. Patio dining has 3 great 4 tops for viewing the ocean, all others are outdoors and covered but not great for outdoor views. Great views inside too. I hung out waiting for a great table and staff was super helpful and kind in the process. Busy for a spring Tuesday night. Took my drink outside and used their wonderful walkway down to the beach! Location superb, food would be too when next time I ask for no slathering sweet sauce.

    The staff was very nice. However, the food was mediocre at best. Recommendations to try their venison rolls…overpriced and over cooked. The salad with the fried avocado was unnecessary. Way too many ingredients making the experience lackluster. Main course was the shrimp and scallop. This was the redeemer…very good. Unfortunately the amount of intoxicated and loud guest made it un Recommendable.

    Food was ok. Not a 10/10. You're mostly going for the view. Service didn't pay attention to the details. For example, we asked for no dairy in a salad and it came back with cheese.

    We had an amazing experience for our first visit, with just one exception. Food was fast and fantastic. Our server, both for dinner (Trip) and also in the lounge were amazing. The woman with a lovely British accent who both greeted & seated us (& also told us it was just her second day) was so kind and friendly. But your main hostess can only be described as an absolute snob and could not have been more unfriendly or unaccommodating as we arrived. Why someone with that demeanor would be one of the first faces you see as you arrive is beyond me. But other than her, our experience truly was excellent!

    From the moment you pull in it is obvious this place was designed and meant for members of the community. However the level of service I received was nothing short of amazing. I felt valued from Imee our waitress, and all the other individuals that I encountered. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area.

    It was way too windy to sit outside and there was a table in the lounge. So we took that. It took 25 minutes to take our order for drinks. Very busy and slow. What we had was good. Lounge is not a place to sit for dining. We know this now.

    We had a wonderful table at the window - and the service person Jenna was exceptional. The two apps (poke bowl and ahi tuna) were excellent - the calamari very good, the blackened grouper very good; the crab cakes disappointing (small and way too much filler).

    We had the Scallops and Shrimp dish which was divine. A great take from executive Chef Isley Whyte, delicious and fresh. Our friends ordered the Tomahawk steak - and what a presentation!!! The service and attention to detail provided by our server Chris made the evening extra special with special friends.

    The view and place is amazing. Servers could have more knowledge on the menu and cocktails. I asked if the sesame oil cocktail was strong he said no but i was not able to drink it. We were very disappointed to have plastic water glass in a fine dining restaurant. The food was good but not outstanding, my scallops were overcooked and my husband lobster as well. The overall experience was very good but with such an outstanding place the food should be way better. If the owners read this they can contact us we are french chefs if they’re looking for someone 😜
