    Absolutely beautiful view but the food was disappointing. Food wasn’t even placed in front of us. They set it on the table next to us and walked away. Food was terrible to where we couldn’t even finish. Thankfully the server noticed this and our entrees were removed from the bill.

    The Vue never fails. Great food and spectacular views. One of our favorite places because you can actually have a conversation with each other without having to yell. Service is always great.

    Great atmosphere overlooking the ocean. Food was delicious. My steak was about as tender as I have had. Drinks where yummy, great value and possibly bigger than they needed to be. Sarah said the server was nice.

    We've had a great experience at Vue before, which is why we returned. Unfortunately, our latest visit didn't quite live up to expectations. The view was stunning, but the filet mignon and sides were subpar and disappointing. To make matters worse, we noticed some suspicious stains on the ceiling, which detracted from our overall experience. Given the letdown, we won't be back.

    We had an 8:00pm reservation. We arrived by 6:30 and sat outside on patio and had drinks and watched the sunset. After sunset it was our reservation time and I had requested a table by the windows my request was honored. The food was absolutely amazing ! My husband got the fried chicken and it’s THE BEST I’ve ever tasted. The fresh catch of the day was Cobia. It was outstanding! Our server was top notch . Great place! Love, love, love it for all these reasons.

    We sat at our table for 15 minutes before a server even approached us. We finally had to flag someone down to take a drink order from us. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so there was no reason for the lack of attention. The view is beautiful, but the food didn’t knock my socks off this time. I am not in a hurry to come back.

    Our first time to dine at this restaurant. We had a table outside and you can’t beat the view. Our server was attentive. I had the Caesar and crab cake for dinner. Both were tasty. Their fish if the day was swordfish which was a bit of a disappointment. We were hoping for grouper or snapper. My husband had the fish and chips and they were good. Our son ordered the filet and he said it was perfectly cooked.
