    I think the food was good but a bit over priced. Had nice view of the city. Other then that I give it 3 out of 5.

    We went late afternoon for an early dinner on a Monday and it was perfect. But the layout of this place allows for relative peaceful dining experience regardless. The view alone is worth it but the food and service matches the experience.

    Creative and delicious! The charcuterie is joyful, the sesame tuna outstanding and a peach bourbon crème brûlée with a very surprising and playful garnish of cotton candy was super fun. And addictive. Thanks for a great evening!
    Vista 18 Restaurant + LoungeResponded on February 28, 2025
    Yes, the Sesame Tuna is an all-around fan + staff favourite - great choice! Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with us - we hope to see you back again soon! We'll be changing up our seasonal creations next month... you'll have to try the new Halibut dish!

    Everything at Vista 18 was very good, and, of course, the view amazing. The food (brunch) was disappointing - not up to the same standard.
    Vista 18 Restaurant + LoungeResponded 1 day ago

However, we’re sorry to hear that the brunch didn’t meet your expectations. We take pride in delivering high-quality food and will certainly review the brunch menu to ensure it aligns with the same standards you’ve come to expect from us. We’re excited to let you know that we’ll be revamping our menu for the summer soon, and we’d love for you to return and experience the new offerings! Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to impress you on your next visit. Warm regards, Vista18 Management

    We had bread to start witch was a thin sliced French bread and was not fresh. With a butter spread that was not that great . I had the flank steak dinner . It was a bit chewy and spinach on mash potatoes and had goat cheese in it .i did not like it . Nothing was written on the menu telling what is used in the food that was cold .My partner had the burger he said it was good .but store bag fries not expecting with a so called fancy restaurant. Very disappointing .A so called.. lol the view into people's hotel rooms not my ideal of a romantic restaurant

    Food was good., but expensive. The server was very helpful but kept forgetting us. We had to keep on trying to get his attention. There was a very noisy table next to us. I think the restaurant needs to intervene when people’s conversation is disruptive. Otherwise a good experience.
