Vista 18 Westcoast Grill and Wine Bar

I have been to this lovely restaurant before and enjoyed the food and service, but clearly it is not the same as when I last visited. I have been working in the hospitality industry for a while now, and this may be quite honestly the worst service I have ever experienced. The food was not bad and the ambience was good. However, Our server Drew was inattentive, impatient and rarely came to our table. We felt rushed to order and it was very apparent that he did not know how to properly interact with us. When our food came, they brought us the wrong plate and if we did not ask, they would not have said anything. We ordered the chicken and prawns as well as the Lamb, which required steak knives....

Was looking forward to some awesome dishes on their Creations menu, but found both wanting. The Roasted Vegetable Tort was a great idea, but over spiced and yet lacked salt. Inconsistent at best. The Grilled Lamb T-Bone was also innovative. The lamb was cooked perfectly but lacked flavor. The beet was not well cooked through and the Kalamata/Feta, which should have added a nice saltiness to the dishes but were poorly incorporated. Flavors were inconsistent through the dish. It took over an hour to get our mains and our waiter mostly disappeared during that time. We loved the view but the poor quality of both dishes left us thinking View 18 has more opportunity to improve.

On a whim we chose to eat at Vista 18 and celebrate our last night of vacation in Victoria BC. The Open Table ratings did not fail us. The sweet potato chips with avocado dip was a good starter, and quite generous. My sirloin with baby onions and mushrooms was delicious. The scallops over arugula was tasty, and although we were stuffed we managed a little dessert. Glad we ate there!

We had our anniversary dinner at Vista 18 last night. I thought I had made a reservation electronically but some how it failed. it didn't matter as the host got us a great table. The food and wine was great and the service was perfect. Drew did a wonderful job of guiding us through the Menu. He is a total Pro and a very nice man! We will be back!

The food was exceptional. Humboldt squid appy was an excellent started. We had the sablefish special which was absolutely perfect and the gentlemen devoured their Berryman pork chops. Really great food at a reasonable price point with a modern decor and atmosphere plus great service. Looking forward to a return visit.
