Rusty, our waiter, Kelly, the bartender, and the host (did not get his name) were so lovely and the atmosphere was inviting. The locals were also nice; even if they didn't interact directly with us, the interactions between the locals and Vue employees spoke for itself. Good people, good food, can't go wrong and would highly recommend.

We stayed at the Hotel Breakers for a couple of nights and it was so nice to be able to walk right to the restaurant. The atmosphere is very inviting and cozy. There is outdoor seating that we are going to try next time we're there in the summer. Our server was above par! He was prompt and provided good feedback on their menu options. He was excellent! My husband had the fish and chips and he said they were the best he's ever had. I had the Pasta Pescatore and it was absolutely delicious! The cocktails were very good as well. I had a margarita and a dirty martini. Hubs had a cherry limeade vodka and a mudslide. Thank you, Vue Kitchen, for helping us to have a really nice and special anniversary dinner!

Definitely find somewhere else next time I’m in town.

We experienced a long wait for our drinks, even though the bar wasn’t busy at that time. The bartender seemed to struggle with every task and didn’t appear to have much experience working behind the bar. To make matters worse, our entrée never arrived, and we were charged twice for our drinks. When our 7-year-old spilled his drink, no one came to help with the cleanup. The only positive aspect of our visit was the hostess, who was warm and welcoming, the sole friendly face we encountered during our meal. Unfortunately, the other patrons gave us disapproving looks, making us feel quite unwelcome. As a family of color, we found the reception disappointing yet not surprising, especially in a venue that seems to cater to a less culturally aware and entitled crowd. On a brighter note, the view was lovely.
