This was the first time coming to the Vista and it was a great experience!! To note, the back of the restaurant is facing the road and they have a well lit parking lot around back which is the front of their restaurant. Friendly staff, great service and food at the Vista! My fiancé had the meatloaf and I had the Local burger. Both were very good! We will definitely be back when we come through or visit Greenville again!

We enjoyed our recent dinner at The Vista. After cocktails, hubby ordered the She Crab Soup and it was excellent. His Wood Bowl Caesar with Grilled Shrimp was good. I ordered my usual Crab Cakes with the Brussel Sprout salad was also good. Meagan, our favorite server, was fantastic as usual. Personable and attentive. A good place for dinner.

I ordered the Rotisserie Chicken and Rib plate with cole slaw and cornbread. The ribs were very good and tender however, the chicken breast was a little on the dry side. The cornbread was also a little dry and reminded me more of focaccia. My dining companion thoroughly enjoyed the Grilled Salmon. Overall, a great gem to the neighborhood, with great drinks and a relaxing atmosphere. The hosts and waitstaff were very friendly and engaging. I will definitely re-visit when back in Greenville.

A little loud. Excellent hostess and greeters, very nice welcome to the restaurant. Thought dessert choices were lacking. We’ll be back, and it’s a good place, but probably not for a special occasion. Good service.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at The Vista last evening. Excellent cocktails and wine. Hubby ordered the Oriental Salad with Seared Tuna and it good (tuna was excellent). I ordered the Halibut Special and it was good. The Apple Cobbler was also good. Neither truly outstanding but good. We have enjoyed outstanding meals but decided to try something different. Megan - you are awesome (and our favorite server). The Vista is a great restaurant and we recommend trying it, if you haven't.

I introduced a friend to The Vista last night and she is looking forward to returning. She ordered the Cobb Salad (hold the dressing) and she was extremely pleased (she ate the whole thing!). I enjoyed one of my favorites - the Crab Cakes - and they were perfectly cooked and the Brussels Sprouts "salad" that comes with it was perfect last night. I have completely forgotten our server's name but she was excellent - knowledgeable and friendly. Great service! See you again very soon!

We introduced some old friends to this great neighborhood bistro, and all had a great time and a great meal. Lovely cocktails and wine. We were in a seafood mood and tried the scallop special, shrimp linguini and lobster roll. Raves all around, my scallops were especially wonderful - perfectly cooked with a zesty little corn relish that was the perfect complement. Megan was her usual delightful self, and service was stellar, as always. Everyone there makes you feel welcome and appreciated and happy to be there. Our friends will definitely be back!

Dinner was great. The staff were super and seated us quickly. We had an appetizer to share, it was good - Greek with naan bread. Then we had the meatloaf, shrimp and grits, the burger and lobster roll. Glass of wine was great and coffee was perfect on this suddenly cold night. It was a good dinner and our waitress was very friendly and upbeat and helpful.

The Vista is one of our favorite restaurants. Always excellent food and service. We decided to go more "casual" this night; and after ordering drinks (Mojito and a glass of Rose), hubby ordered a Burger (med. rare) and it was perfection (more a "knife and fork" burger because of size) and I order the Cobb salad which was delicious and filling. We had to have dessert and split the Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Gelato - yummy! Once again we were blessed to have Meagan as our server. She is knowledgeable, friendly and just awesome. Thank you for another great evening.

Second time being here where seating (cramped two top) and noise level were next level. Not ideal for date conversation and for a decently priced meal and drinks, being practically tripped over by other guests and staff attempting to get to adjacent tables is a turn off. Taking this place off our list for a while. Not the best meal. Also, food was luke warm and lackluster. There are definitely better experiences to be had downtown.

First of all, thank you for making our anniversary dinner so special. Meagan is awesome and took excellent care of us all evening. After the champagne toast, and a chance to relax, we ordered cocktails and then dinner. As a starter, the Stawberry Burrata Salad was delicious. Hubby ordered his favorite: Shrimp and Grits and I ordered my favorite: Crab Cakes. Yummy all around! We decided to "splurge" and ordered the Breadpudding with a side of Vanilla Gelato (Meagan's recommendation) - perfection! Always great food and service at The Vista. Thank you, Adam!

Wanted a nice, relaxing meal after a hectic week, and this fit the bill perfectly. Lobster roll for me, shrimp and pasta for my husband, and both were delish. Tried a seasonal cocktail, which was light, refreshing and hit all the right notes. What a treat!

Service was excellent! Food was good. Had Gnocchi was good but texture was a bit off. Only real negative was the odor from the lamp oil used in the candles. No odor should interfere with the food and beverage.
