    We were given seating with the view of the city, it is not as good as the view of the ocean or inner habour. I did ask for the south view. The food was average.

    We came here for my mother’s 80th bday hoping to wow her with something special. It was the opposite of that. Everything took so long and the food wasn’t at all impressive and we left THREE hours later unsatisfied and disappointed. Beware. Not worth the money or pedigree

    We had a very special meal over the sunset with our Japanese friends here only for 1 day. We got the exact table we hoped for. We were given lemon and lime for our beverages. The food was split for our friends very well for the added $5 and they were both very satisfied after. My partner and I had 2 delicious meals that were satisfying and filling. And the apples were nice to share as well. We were also the lasts guests to leave and were given the grace to finish our meals and deserts with zero pressure. Our server was kind and checked on us very well and gave us a breath and didn't interrupt as we were trying to translate which took a while sometimes. Vista 18 is a hidden Gem in Victoria and we look forward to a brunch, lunch or dinner again.

    We had an excellent breakfast with a lovely view of the inner harbour. Service was excellent,not rushed at all. The whole ambience of the restaurant is very nice. We have eaten here many times over the years both for breakfast and dinner and highly recommend it.

    This restaurant could be a real jewel but is seriously let down by the terrible food. The menu is quite limited and the few dishes on offer are inferior in terms of quality. There were 4 in our party and each ordered a different meal - all were terrible. Service is adequate and there are lovely views from every table. Fix the issues in the kitchen and is would be a winner.
