1st July 2010 I saw the one unpleasant review for Vista and couldn't go past it; I have been going to Vista for several years - and I keep going back. My most recent trip was a weekday lunch with a friend(16 June 2010). The food was sensational, the service warm and friendly (as I have always found it to be), and the price reasonable. Rock on Vista!!!!
18th May 2013 From the moment Lexie opened the front door to welcome us, the experience continued enabling us to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Lexie remembered that we like to start with bubbles which arrived promptly. We looked at the menu and the specials on the blackboard with the grilled angus steak and the decision made itself! Lexie brought the wine list and initially recommended a Victorian shiraz. We also asked to taste a Chianti - nothing is too much trouble! We selected the Shiraz. Our meals arrived and were perfect - rare for me, and medium-rare for Jane.
We ended the afternoon in totally relaxed mode before reluctantly leaving!

5th January 2013 Wow, its surprising how similar the reviews are to our experience. We had brunch there on 31.12.12 and found the food excellent, but the chap who waited on us was, we think, very hungover and so was very rude. We all laughed afterwards because he was so outrageous. We wouldnt go back, which is a shame. It is surprising how some people can be so rude when working in a service industry.

5th September 2011 I had lunch at Vista today - I ordered the kedgeree and it was very spicy and far too much curry powder in it which made it very unpleasant - I informed the waitress and she said she would talk to the chef. We waited and waited and no member of the staff came near us for half an hour - not even to ask us if we wanted a coffee. The whole experience was disappointing - we had gone there for a celebration lunch and came away extrememly disappointed with the standard of the food and the apalling lack of service. When paying I mentioned this to the man taking our money and he just said 'sorry about that' and shrugged his shoulders!!!!!

16th November 2010 The food is good when it comes - the service is lacking as is the atmosphere - very impersonal and dull and not in a funky concrete kinda way...

18th September 2010 Vista is great for a lunch and when the staff are in a good mood.
We had the mussles and they were amazing along with a glass of Sav on a summers day. Wine choice is not great.
We went for dinner and the menu choice was poor. We had the trio of beef, it was almost inedible.
The waiter was also incredibley, incredibley rude, even when I was trying to be particualarly nice and talkative with him he could barely be bothered to look at me let alone reply, and when I asked him what was in a particular dessert he gave me the rudest look I have ever recieved as if to say "what a freak".
I would still go back for lunch despite a horrible man as the time I had been for lunch a different waiter was the nicest, funnest man I have ever met so hey ho, lets just hope I get him next time
So great lunch, not great on dinner, stick with lunch time only vista, or expand your menu a bit.

29th June 2010 Terrible service. On a weekday lunch, it took over 40 minutes to get two plates of spaghetti. After going up to let them know we had to return to work, it took another 10 minutes for food to arrive!!!
Tasted okay, but sloppily apportioned. My partner's bowl had significantly more vegetables and my bowl had all the sauce and only 2/3 the spaghetti he had.
No choice. We had to throw it down our throats and go back to work.
Don't go there is you need to return to work within 1.5 hours.
