Vista Rooftop

I wanted to like this place. To start we got the “bread for the table.” Unfortunately the description does not say the bread is drenched in some butter/oil combo sopping wet which needed to drained and unappetizing. There was about an inch of this weird butter oil once the bread was picked up. Regular bread would have been a better option. Also we got the tsunami wontons. We were expecting wontons instead got lots of salsa and not much seafood at all on a weird fried tortilla chip. I got the tuna special which was okay. Over seasoned and was not asked what temperature and the rice was bland. Partner got short rib special which was tasty. Parents got the seafood risotto which looked okay with large shrimp. Restaurant is very loud and needs sound dampening. Views are good before dark. I don’t think I’d come back again as I’m frequently in the area. Left disappointed. Service was okay at times.

After coming up to the top floor, the atmosphere was pretty upscale. Seating wasn’t bad & the view was great. The Mushroom & Spinach Dip was great! Wish I had more bread for it lol The Seafood Risotto was real fulfilling! My steak was a little more than the medium I ordered & was slightly dry in the inside. Other than that, the experience was great !

I came here on Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend and it was largely a good meal. I ordered a virgin watermelon margarita but they served it with strawberry seeds in it and it was carbonated so I’m not even sure they heard me when I ordered it. It was oppressively loud in there for such a “fine dining” experience. We ordered the onion soup and bread for the table to start. The onion soup was good if not a little too herby, there were a lot of spices floating around the broth. The bread was amazing and probably so bad for us because of all the oil and butter but it was the greatest bite. I got a butterflied filet mignon cooked medium but it was really half medium half medium rare so I only ate the half that was more thoroughly cooked. The part I could eat was tasty and had a nice seasoned butter to dip in on the side. Everyone at the table loved their food but we were all a little full from the bread and soup, and we were a little peeved we couldn’t speak because it was so loud. The design of the restaurant didn’t allow for any dampening of noise. The way the tables are arranged also led to waiters and patrons bumping into us constantly while we were sitting down. The menu wasn’t really diverse enough to have less expensive dinner options and I think for the price I wouldn’t come here again because of the noise.
