    We were celebrating our 40th anniversary in Santa Rosa Beach, one of our favorite places. Reading reviews online this seemed to be the perfect spot for our special dinner. We had chosen outdoor seating as that’s what we do in California, but this was a patio adjacent to a pool with zero ambiance. We requested to be moved inside but were told there was nothing available (it was 5:15 pm and we could see multiple empty tables). We were told we could go to the bar?? A server didn’t come to the table until we had been there for 15 minutes-water was brought in plastic cups! We ordered drinks finally and it was another 15 minutes. Appetizer shrimp was good but the cheese biscuits were rock hard and at least 2 days old. Caesar salad was bland, crab cake was mostly filler, chicken breast was thin and over cooked. The bread pudding was good and they comped that for our anniversary. Our server was nice and not his fault. Sadly our special evening was not what we envisioned and we will not return to the Vue as it was highly over rated, staff overall was not professional, food was not well prepared.

    We had an amazing dining experience! The food was delicious, and we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the patio. Chris, our server, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and made sure we were warm and well taken care of. The atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend!

    We made a reservation for a patio table and were seated right by the balcony overlooking the beach. A beautiful day with sparkling waves…I had the crab cake salad, which was a nice light meal. My husband had grouper tacos. The fries were good (I sneaked a few). Our server was prompt and cheerful, and the manager stopped by to be sure we were happy. Service was attentive but not intrusive. It was a very relaxing time. We’ve dined at Vue several times while in the area on vacation, and have always enjoyed it.

    The food and ambience was exquisite. The Grouper was as the best I’ve had in my whole life. Crispy, with amazing flavor throughout the fish. Well done! The risotto was perfect as well. This is our new favorite restaurant in Florida! Absolutely amazing! We will be back!

    Great service and food. Will be back for the food and the ambiance. It was nighttime during my visit but I look forward to visiting during the daylight to enjoy the view.
