   always excellent from start to finish. Food is consistently superb. Full rack of ribs, pork chop, wedge salad and sweet potato fries were spot on in flavor and presentation.

   This is one of many visits and I can say usually it’s awesome. This visit not so much. The service was very slow. And the brick chicken was very chewy and didn’t come out hot. The beef ribs were good but again was not hot. I will Of course give it another go because I’ve never had a complaint before

   We were seated right away & service was amazing. We had three nightly specials~2 Papardelle Seafood Pasta w/ large tiger shrimp & generous amts of Dungeness crabmeat in a garlicky scampi style sauce & 1 sea bass stuffed with crabmeat. The fourth person in our party had a perfectly cooked NY steak. We all cleaned our plates! The servings are generous, cooked to perfection & worthy of many return visits! Nice wine selection & local craft beers. Highly recommend Vista & their other two restaurants, Ada’s Fish House & Rosa’s Italian all in Pismo Beach.

   Our meal was great, service very attentive. Only thing, we were celebrating a birthday and the complimentary dessert ( choc lava cake with cream cheese frosting) was way too sweet. However, the birthday boy ( turning 80 that day) loved it!

    I had the seafood salad and the crème brûlée with a glass of Chardonnay. Semi-pricy, but really good quality food and drink, so well worth it! Service was friendly and well paced to my friend’s and my conversation. We were at a window table with a beautiful view of the pier and the ocean. I highly recommend this place!

    We’re local and have enjoyed eating here. We had special guests in town and wanted to show off Pismo and top off the day with a great meal so we planned a meal at Vista. However, the whole experience was disappointing. The serviced was rushed and inattentive, and the food was poorly presented, poorly cooked and not anywhere near the quality we have experienced in the past.

    It was quiet enough to have a conversation with friends even though the restaurant was full. Sea bass was excellent and it is our new favorite rib place.

    Vista, the restaurant that replaced Flagship in the Kon Tiki Inn facility, is a success. It is so nice to have a lovely restaurant, with good service and delicious food, to which we can bring out of town friends, and enjoy ourselves! The decor is modern, the windows huge, so that one of the most beautiful views on the Central Coast is not lost (Pismo Pier, past Shell Beach, to Avila). Drinks and dinner were quite good, ingredients fresh. Service in all aspects was attentive and efficient. It has been sad to bring clients/guests to most of the other ocean-view restaurants in the area due to their poor service and varying food quality. As locals, we welcome this change!

    Nice service. Sand dabs had a thick Lemony sauce too heavy. And the dabs were less delicate than San dabs usually are. My partner had seafood pasta And she enjoyed it. Pricy for what you get.

    Vista is a favorite. There was only one problem and that is they didn't bring all four entrees out at the same time. In fact, it took an unusual amount of time to bring the missing entree. That being said, when a miscommunication happened regarding a different entree the staff took care of the issue immediately. Waitstaff was very polite and accommodating.

    I’d like to preface this by saying that the service was excellent, trying to resolve the issues we had. We visited as part of our honeymoon on a trip up from Burbank to San Francisco. To start we had duck tacos, which were fine. But my wife had the Chowder which may have just not been to her taste. It was thick, almost like oatmeal! It was hard to find much fish in it. She was unable to eat it (but as I said, maybe just not to our taste). For our main course I had seafood linguine and my wife had a salmon fillet. Mine was fine, but hers was still red and like jelly inside. The server agreed that it didn’t usually look like that and took it away to be replaced. A new one came and was better but still red in the middle not pink. Unfortunately my wife had lost her appetite and couldn’t enjoy it. Also though I did try and eat mine it had gone cold whilst waiting for my wife’s and I had also lost my appetite. The server and manager were very helpful and we had two excellent desserts. It was just a shame. We weren’t charged for my wife’s food which was very much appreciated - so as said, the service was excellent but disappointing food.

    What a disappointment. We’d been here three times before for dinner and I’d give it five stars. Today for lunch I had the seafood salad and the lobster was so tough it was inedible. And the rest of the salad was just okay. Friends New York steak was overdone and tough also. Sea bass was good, but now I don’t trust that there’s consistency.
