Food was very good. Had some cheese and meats to start and the board was very well presented. Our server, Staci and her support staff were spot on throughout dinner. I would also recommend leaving room for dessert. Looks of great choices to share.

Love this place! The pear prosciutto flatbread was wonderful, as was the French onion soup. Unfortunately, on this visit my husband said his fish and chips was subpar. Fish was soggy, fries were cold. Should have sent it back, but he didn’t want to cause a fuss.

View at Vea is a fantastic restaurant with a killer View…hence the name. Sheila greeted me upon arrival and was truly delightful! She was warm, ensured we got the very best table and came back to check on us and our service throughout the meal - she went above & beyond and we were truly impressed! Our waiter, Andres was equally as wonderful and warm. He was available for anything we needed but also gave us space to enjoy our meal & conversation. At the end of our meal, Andres surprised us with an array of beautiful desserts! We enjoyed our drinks and food immensely! We were celebrating a holiday get together and the hotel was decked out with great Christmas decor making for a festive and fun environment. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience at View!
