    We celebrated my mother's 83rd birthday tonight and it was truly special to be celebrated at Vistamar. The decor, the vibe, the food and service were perfect. Mom truly enjoyed herself along with the birthday wishes from the staff. Thank you to our wonderful waitress Jazmin, she was excellent. We will definitely be back to this restaurant.

    I had a fantastic time the atmosphere was lively, and the live performances were incredible—definitely a highlight of the night. The food was delicious, and the drinks were perfect. The only downside was the long wait for the food, but the entertainment and energy made up for it. If you’re looking for great food, drinks, and a fun night out, this is the place to be!

    Felt very disrespected when the manager insisted that my service dog has to be in a cage. He is task-trained to mitigate a disability, how can he do that from a cage. When I mentioned that that requirement is illegal, he said that's our restaurant rules. And we will seat you away. ADA law states that you are not allowed to treat people with disabilities any differently than other guests. I will file a complaint with the DOJ so that they can be more aware of ADA laws.
