   So nice to see this place reopen. Extra good that it's part of the Ada's/Rosa's family. We come to Pismo every year for a family getaway and love these restaurants. The food was good. The atmosphere nice -- like the remodel with the dark blues and opening up the spaces. Minor complaints -- not enough staff and my daughter thought her steak was dry. The host/assistant manager(?) was very friendly and helped out with service. Glad to see this here next to Kon Tiki. Parking lot was full, so hoping it thrives.

   I’m a monthly, at least, patron of Vista and normally make reservations. Twice now I have asked for special requests and both times for no apparent reason the requests fell on deaf ears. The last time was on 6-22-22. I made reservations for 6 at 5:30 a month ahead of time via Open Table. Two weeks prior to the reservation, we were dining at Vista and requested a table by the window for the 6-22 reservation. The hostess indicated she would note it. When we arrived on 6-22-22 for the reservation, we were seated by the bar. A table for 6 by the window was vacant about 4 minutes after we were seated. Bottom line, it appears Vista is not concerned with special requests. Very good food, but I’m finding out customer service is extremely lacking.

   This is our second time eating at Vista’s and it did not let us down one bit. Amazing staff from the start with the hostess, the bus boys, and the waiter. I brought my out of town family and they were so delighted by everything. The food is great portions and tasty. Also the manger was check with all the tables making sure everything was to their liking. Great job Vista’s staff, we will differently be coming back.

   We were 20 minutes late for our dinner reservation and I called to let them know ahead of time. Thankfully it was not a problem though it seemed fairly busy this Father’s Day. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and very polite which we both noted afterwards. Kudos to her and the busy bussing staff. I ordered the rack of lamb meal and my wife ordered the shrimp tacos in addition to one of their flatbread offerings which we both shared. The glass of Pinot Noir was nice with a fairly decent pour. The food was very tasty and filling which unfortunately didn’t leave much space for dessert afterwards. It was an enjoyable and memorable dinner experience. We finished shortly before sunset and the panoramic view was one of the best especially if you get a window table. One of our choices when visitors come to town.

    You won't find a more beautiful ocean view at any other restaurant on the Central Coast. The service was well-timed and appropriately friendly. My wife had the lobster risotto with scallops and shrimp and I had the New York steak with gorgonzola sauce. Both were excellent! Can't wait to go back and try other menu items. Great wine selection and a good pour by the glass. Prices are on the high end, but worth every penny!

    It’s about as good as you’ll find in Pismo. As for the food, the raw oysters were warm and generally disgusting. The pasta was WAY overcooked to the point it was mush. I suggest the cook look up the term al dente and put it into practice. Otherwise, the food was good enough and the view is spectacular.

    Entrees we ordered were Sanddabs & Fish & Chips. Sanddabs, rice, & veggies were average; Fish & Chips-the fish had too much breading & mushy texture, chips were acceptable. Our expectations were to experience exceptional cuisine for such high $ entrees. Perhaps other entrees on the menu are a higher standard. Vista offers beautiful ocean views but we don't plan to dine there in the future.

    Mostly five stars, but only four for ambience in spite of the GORGEOUS view and watching the sunset from a window table-- just because of the noise level. Haven't had this trouble before, but it was so noisy it was hard to converse at our small table. Other than that, this is still our Special Occasion favorite, with excellent service, delicious food (something for all palates and budgets), and that unparalleled view. My husband and sister had wonderful seafood dishes, I had mussels, BIL had BBQ ribs, and we all enjoyed it! It was my birthday night out and was nearly perfect.

    The view from Vista is wonderful. One of our guests thought the fish & chips was oily, and another didn't like the bacon bits on the steak salad, as they were hard as a rock with no taste. However, the shrimp tacos that I had were very tasty and the French onion soup very good.

    We had a great meal . Made a reservation online and table was available right on time . Service from the front door to table , wait staff and server Michael were excellent. I just feel like the ambiance falls short and didn’t quite match the exceptional service and high price point.

    Vista has become our place for celebratory dinners. This visit was in honor of our 43rd wedding anniversary. Andrew was our server and he definitely knows how to make you feel both special and at home. The food here is very good. We started with the Cheese platter just because it was a special night. Probably not worth the $22 but it did have some interesting selections (the salami was great). My wife has the Short Ribs and I had the Sirloin Steak. Both meals were delicious and plentiful. Half of the food came home with us for another meal. Dessert was Chocolate Cake with substituted Coffee Ice Cream. The cake was great...The Coffee ice cream was a little lacking in flavor but had great texture. Andrew and the Bus Boy were both very attentive. Andrew spent a good deal of time talking with the guests. He's been in the business for a while and knows how to make people feel welcome. The manager check with us on the way out to make sure we were happy. Of course the big thing that you go here for in addition to a great meal is the great view. The restuarant sits high on a bluff over looking the sands of Pismo Beach and the blue of the Pacific Ocean. We were there on a "chamber of commerce day" and the view couldn't have been better out the large picture windows. Yes it was a pricey meal, but we sure enjoyed our special day!

    Service was amazing! We became so used to mediocre service after the pandemic that we forgot what good service feels like. The staff at Vista Steak went above and beyond to make us feel special! The view there is amazing - all tables offer a view. Food is very tasty and well prepared and staff is friendly, accommodating and prompt. I definitely will recommend Vista Steak and Seafood to all my friends! This a hidden jewel in Pismo Beach!

    You are paying for the view! So get ready for a pricey meal, and make sure you have secured a table that "drinks in" the best view along that stretch of coastline. For example, the sand dabs at "Ada's", their sister restaurant in Pismo Beach (with no view) are exactly the same as the dabs here at "Vista", but $6 less . . . AND at "Ada's" you can chooses your side dish.

    Not the caliber of food and service I was hoping for. Bar service was poor. Cocktail waitress did not even look at us. Dinner service was good. Burrata appetizer did not come with crostini, weird. Entrées and desserts were good, with the exception of the carrot cake, so bland it no one ate it.
