    Service was good. The drinks good too. Lovely view and it wasn't crowded at all. The Mediterranean 🍕 was good to share. They have a happy hour 6-8pm which is 50% and really worth it.

    Nice restaurant which extends to a terrace also. My favorite place to watch fire works. Food menu is limited but nice. Beer costs the same as any pub even though it’s a five star outlet. Take advantage of the happy hours from 6 to 8 pm. Love this place ❤️❤️

  • 3/5 Alan A. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice bar but several of the beers they claim to have on tap are not available leaving you with very expensive bottles to buy. Irritating. The same goes for menu options with several not available. Went for rib eye. See photo. This was 30% fat and inedible. Some of it was ok but pretty poor. Staff were friendly enough. Can't say I'd return though so can't recommend this place.

    I stayed in the hotel for two weeks. I tried several times to come here for happy hour, but just never felt quite right. I didn't feel comfortable, happy, and welcome until I was greeted by Faith! She found me a comfortable place to sit and took good care of me. Amir (I think that's his name) tried really hard as well, but Faith just made me feel like family. As a solo female traveler, this feeling in priceless! I came back the next two days just because of her! Thank you Faith for making my time at Vista memorable!

    Medrine is amazing. Best server. She recommended the passion fruit martinis and I’m obsessed. The manager was also helpful and checked in on us.

  • 3/5 Abdelwahid A. 7 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    The place has become very cheap after tables were placed as if it were a cafeteria or a public restaurant. The chairs are uncomfortable. Please look into the matter. The place is not suitable for a five-star hotel. It has become very popular. The previous management was superior and better.

  • 1/5 Ahmed Al S. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been couple of times, this night was the worst costumer service I’ve ever had. I wanted to right a complain, it was even allowed 😕. It’s is really great place but had very bad costumer service. I hope they take into consideration their behaviour towards costumers.

  • 3/5 binoy s. 3 years ago on Google
    Place is amazing and I can say they are seriously understaffed. Everything took time starting with a beer to the food. I really felt bad for the service staff, they were really polite and doing their best they can. The place is winner and the food is great too.

  • 3/5 Dinesh M. 3 years ago on Google
    The views are great and the service also good. But a lot to be desired for food.

  • 2/5 Zeid A. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is very nice and cosy with amazing view, service, however leaves a lot to be desired and not up to Intercontinental standard. The place is clearly understaffed in the evening when place is full inside and out and staff look tired and worn out from 10 onwards....

  • 5/5 guillievictoria l. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    It's definitely a memory to remember visiting Vista last Friday! Was just passing by with a friend and did not expect how a simple night can be so special! First of all the ambience is very welcoming not intimidating yet socially inclined. Seafood Linguine and the Salmon made our night! Ricky and Nay made the experience more unforgettable! From the sitting suggestions, food recommendation and I must say they really know their products which is really helpful if you can't make up your mind which one to order. Nay is really really impressive! Very courteous and friendly. You won't feel awkward every time she checks on you she gives an ample enough of space for privacy but never fail to make you feel being cared of. For sure will be coming back again!
