    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!

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

    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.
