    Even though I made the reservation weeks in advance and informed them that it was a birthday, they didn't do anything special, the table location was bad and the restaurant in general is old and overrated. If they ask you what occasion you are celebrating, you expect them to do something, otherwise why ask? And besides, the food is not that special for the prices they have. I honestly don't think I will return to this restaurant.

    This special brunch before the Nutcracker ballet exceeded our grandaugther’s & our expectations at every level. The sunny December day set the event in motion, followed by smooth service delivering memorable dishes. Already dreaming about the food, plotting a return visit. Bravo Vista 18.

    Reservation request was honoured. Seated accordingly. Prompt and attentive service. There for brunch…eggs were cooked perfectly. Nice choices. Beautiful views. Lovely ambience. The best part is that it wasn’t too noisy to talk!

    I had the flank steak with potato and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious. It was cooked to my specifications (well done) and seasoned well.

    We had a great brunch today for my mom‘s birthday. The service was fantastic. We were surprised with a nice dessert for my mom, which was complementary. The views were spectacular. We had a great time overall five out of five stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I will first state that we have been here a handful of times. All were pretty darn good. Our meals last night were exceptional. I had the Sesame Tuna, which I can easily say was the single best entree that I have ever had anywhere. Pretty incredible, my wife had the lamb which she stated was better than most, we also had the mushrooms and poached prawns. She had the Vista Greens salad which she stated was very good, blackberry vinaigrette was awesome. Our only complaint/disappointment was our Entrees were slow coming out. Our server was Nicole, a very professional waitress. We will definitely be back, prices were very fair.
