   Great family outing for an easy Christmas dinner. Have been here before several times and have always had a great time! Definitely will be back many many times. Good was great as usual, vibe always on point and energy always on high. Love this gem.

   The service was fine and the food was average and overpriced for what you get, including the cocktails (which are half-sized for a $25 price tag.) I know you are going for the view, but they could do better and at least serve a normal sized cocktail with a full shot of alcohol. Also, if you are serving meals, you should at least have a Keurig if people want coffee with their dessert. Or what if you want Baileys and coffee at the bar? That’s not out of the ordinary request.

   The restaurant view is great but the dining room was so cold you had to wear a coat while eating. Even the servers were wearing a coat. Drinks were very expensive, $24 for a small gin and tonic.

   The food and service was AMAZING!!! I love the Vue. I do wish the Christmas menu had more of a variety and of course it's a bit overpriced...I spent $400 for a 2 person dinner...no dessert and only 2 drinks per person. But my sea bass was superb and my husband loved the ribeye.

   The experience started on a positive note with the hostess making an amazing first impression. However, the service fell short, as our server seemed overwhelmed and distracted. We never felt we had their full attention and were rushed through ordering and paying, which negatively impacted the overall dining experience. I ordered the Tres Leches French Toast. While it was flavorful, it was overly sweet for my taste. The accompanying bacon was underwhelming, lacking the crispness and flavor you’d hope for. I also tried the “I Want S’more” drink, which was a disappointment. The presentation did not live up to the enticing social media photos—it lacked flair and appeal. The drink itself had a much stronger whiskey flavor than expected, overpowering the chocolate element. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype and isn’t something I’d recommend. Overall, this spot didn’t meet expectations for brunch.

   The food was decent, but the ambience and setting were fantastic. The cocktails were excellent, and the high menu prices seem to reflect the view and service rather than the quality of the food, which doesn’t quite match the stunning scenery.

    Very disappointed with the service my guest and I received. The waiter was rude. He was inattentive, brusque, and then added on a 20% gratuity for two guests (maybe this is the restaurants policy, but I feel this is bad form for a small party). I brought someone here who was not local hoping to show them a good time for brunch. Would not recommend.

    Bryan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. Providing excellent service is a priority for us, and it’s disheartening to learn that your visit did not reflect that standard. We understand your concerns about both the service and the gratuity charge. While the automatic gratuity is a policy, we appreciate your perspective and will certainly take your feedback into consideration. Please know that we will address this matter with our staff to ensure this situation is not repeated. We hope you might give us another chance to make it right in the future.
