Vista 18 Westcoast Grill and Wine Bar

I had the brunch, and the food could have been hotter. But it was good, a lot of choice. The service was excellent.

I have been to this lovely restaurant before and enjoyed the food and service, but clearly it is not the same as when I last visited. I have been working in the hospitality industry for a while now, and this may be quite honestly the worst service I have ever experienced. The food was not bad and the ambience was good. However, Our server Drew was inattentive, impatient and rarely came to our table. We felt rushed to order and it was very apparent that he did not know how to properly interact with us. When our food came, they brought us the wrong plate and if we did not ask, they would not have said anything. We ordered the chicken and prawns as well as the Lamb, which required steak knives. We were half way through our meal when Drew casually came over and said that he forgot to bring us the steak knives and although he said 'sorry ' and walked off, it was very obvious that he did not mean it. We felt unappreciated and were not catered to. It was also very clear that he was more interested in other tables and that was disappointing. The service was horrible, and I 'm usually not one to complain as this is my first ever negative review of a restaurant, but I had to say something.....Will not be returning anytime soon.

Loved it! Very reasonably priced and delicious. Unbeatable view.

Was looking forward to some awesome dishes on their Creations menu, but found both wanting. The Roasted Vegetable Tort was a great idea, but over spiced and yet lacked salt. Inconsistent at best. The Grilled Lamb T-Bone was also innovative. The lamb was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor. The beet was not well cooked through and the Kalamata/Feta, which should have added a nice saltiness to the dishes but were poorly incorporated. Flavors were inconsistent through the dish. It took over an hour to get our mains and our waiter mostly disappeared during that time. We loved the view but the poor quality of both dishes left us thinking View 18 has more opportunity to improve.

We had our anniversary dinner at Vista 18 last night. I thought I had made a reservation electronically but some how it failed. it didn't matter as the host got us a great table. The food and wine was great and the service was perfect. Drew did a wonderful job of guiding us through the Menu. He is a total Pro and a very nice man! We will be back!
