    Wonderful Xmas Eve celebration Ambiance from lobby employs greetings to host & of course our wauter Thomas was extremely professional attentive & very personalized service. He even took his time helping us take family photo!! A heater was provided without question as some restaurants do not have enough heaters; we were thrilled as we would have had to leave as it was too cold on balcony without it & therefore everything was perfect, as usual. Delicious nachos, fried chicken & “Craft cocktails” were superior! Thank you & merry Christmas!!

    Wonderful as always and fabulous to be able to spend Christmas Eve at Vista. The prime rib was delicious and my husband loved the shrimp and crab pasta . Our friend thought the halibut was the best he has ever had . I agree with both of them since those are also two of my favorites. The sunset over the sea with Vistas outdoor Christmas tree acting as a wee beacon of Christmas hope was truly memory making.
