    We made a reservation for a patio table and were seated right by the balcony overlooking the beach. A beautiful day with sparkling waves…I had the crab cake salad, which was a nice light meal. My husband had grouper tacos. The fries were good (I sneaked a few). Our server was prompt and cheerful, and the manager stopped by to be sure we were happy. Service was attentive but not intrusive. It was a very relaxing time. We’ve dined at Vue several times while in the area on vacation, and have always enjoyed it.

    The food and ambience was exquisite. The Grouper was as the best I’ve had in my whole life. Crispy, with amazing flavor throughout the fish. Well done! The risotto was perfect as well. This is our new favorite restaurant in Florida! Absolutely amazing! We will be back!
