Enjoyed the cocktails. Good variety and local options. Appys were tasty. My main's pork was great, but the gnocchi was kind of tough and not enough flavour. The cheesecake was tasty but not outstanding. My friend who had the ravioli reported so-so experience, both in portion size and quality. Overall, though it was a respectable experience, I was hoping to walk away more satisfied than I was.

Went for breakfast, had the surf and turf Benny. It was delicious! Homemade biscuit, beef, prawn and special zesty hollandaise sauce. Paired it with a sunrise mimosa! Will have it all again next time!

Hi Tyler, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Surf and Turf Benny and the mimosa. It’s wonderful to hear that the homemade biscuit, beef, prawn, and zesty hollandaise sauce hit the mark for you! We can’t wait to welcome you back and serve you again next time. See you soon! Warm Regards, Vista 18 Management

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.
