View 202

Today the service was short handed but the view was beautiful. The food was great. Had the blackened chicken. Very tasty and moist. My wife had chicken Caesar salad , her chicken was dry. But the salad was good. Also came back for my birthday on 6/22 and had short rib meat gnocchi, it was so good. The best short ribs I ever ate. No bones .

We paid $285.36 for 3 people for a birthday dinner. The food was good, but not great. The service was adequate. There was absolutely nothing special about this meal... When the Mayor comes to celebrate a birthday......at your restaurant, it's something to be excited about. When the service, decor, ambiance and FOOD ....gain experience, we'll be back. Not until then. You were told , this was to be a magical gift..... So you charged me 300.00???? For what?

We made reservations for a Sunday brunch in advance, for a birthday celebration and it seemed the restaurant wasn’t ready to accommodate. There weren’t enough menus available. Wait times for drinks or anything was very long. Finally our food was brought out and the server didn’t know what some of the dishes were. 1 order was completely missing and 3/4 burgers we ordered were burnt to a crisp. Our original server was very polite and professional and comped the burnt burgers and gave us a bottle of champagne to redeem the poor quality of the food.

Good solid service, great views, beautiful decor, and food that meets expectations. This was literally either the best or close to the best calamari I have eaten. The patio is a great place. If your server is Phillipina and tells you the flan de coco is amazing. Believe her. The best I have ever had.

Pictures show the Orange Crème brûlée and Garlic Honey Salmon. The brûlée was absolutely divine, 5 stars. So creamy and delicious. The salmon was done very well. Added lemon made it almost sweet. Very well done with how it was prepared. The rest of the plate could have used some attention, which it eventually received. The rice was undercooked, and tinted an orange color from the diced bell peppers that were not supposed to be in there. There was no garlic taste to the garlic rice that was supposed to be there. There was supposed to be a roasted red bell pepper on the plate, didn't happen. The cooks decided that they wanted to put Brussel sprouts on my plate which didn't belong either. View the circled item on the menu picture. You will see why I was frustrated. A restaurant of View 202's status should not be making mistakes like this with a customer's dish. They are one of a few 5 star style restaurants in our area and these shenanigans should not tolerated by their guests. I did speak up to my server, Emily, who then went and got the manager. Their management staff was on point with doing whatever needed to be done to fix the problem. That should not have had to escalate to that point, but their chefs/cooks should be doing what is ordered, not freely doing what they want to do with these dishes. Overall my experience was positive. The atmosphere is pleasant and soothing to dine in. I do highly recommend that reservations be had prior to your arrival. Seating will be limited if you do not. I will be attending this establishment again in the future, hopefully with better results from their cooks.

What to say about this experience...... Well what started as giving a restaurant a chance, on a Friday evening. Turned into hands down 1 of the very best experience we have ever had. Restaurant, and waitress, turn this few moments into a lifetime time experience. Rachel's service was a 50 out of 10.... she not only exceeded all of our expectations, and needs, she made us feel as welcome, and relaxed as we have EVER felt, almost like we were at a family's home just enjoying something they had made for the nights evening of smiles and warmth. To our delight the meal was wordless. Each bite perfectly seasoned to perfection, with love in its making. What a place, that can magically make your day superior. and guys... this is the place for that perfect 1st date, or just to show her you really do care.

The atmosphere is modern and wonderful. Indoor and outdoor dining. Our server Lani was fantastic. She was kind and professional. I don't know if it's due to COVID-19 or what but I've taken notice that servers tend to be more attentive and wonderful these days. Rarely now do I come across a bad one, however some stand out above the rest. Lani is one of these in the upper percentile. Our food was prepared with the utmost care. I had the BBQ chicken brick oven pizza, it was clearly fresh and delicious, my GF had the blackened chicken sandwich which was tender, juicy, and had layers of flavor. For dessert she enjoyed the seasonal fruit creme brulee, I tried the coconut flan. I am not a fan of flan, I do try it from time to time, so when I tell you it was amazing, I mean amazing. Absolutely the best dessert I've had in years. On the one hand I wanted it to last forever on the other I couldn't stop taking bite after bite until it was gone. Summary: Clean restaurant with great modern atmosphere, top notch service, top quality dining, and I do believe I may become a regular here. If for nothing more than the amazing desserts. Thank you for the fantastic experience. 5* all the way
