Amazing staff, views and atmosphere. The food is pretty great as well!

Amazing food , Great service

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 .

Great view, good food- wish I was given a whole strawberry with my cream brûlée and husband liked his bacon sandwich just wished there was more than two slices of bacon. The view was awesome but no one knew about the tall white round thing facing north from the patio. Beautiful patio too. Everyone was very friendly’

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.

Well this was a first time visit. And, short and direct we won’t return. The food was fine. Slightly over priced. Portion are very good. But, the food is nothing special. Prime rib and a Fettuccine pasta dinner 2 ice tea (don’t get the tea) our bill was just under $92! Yes, $92. The ice tea was terrible we had to add water it was so strong. We were seated pretty quickly. The service left a lot to be desired. When someone did wait on us or ask if we needed anything it happened pretty quickly. But, getting service was not prompt. Very over rated. The seating is odd too. Well at least for us it was. One thing I did like it wasn’t incredibly loud inside. You actually hear each other talk.

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.

We have dined there recently in a large group, with our kids and on date night and the food was really good and service was wonderful. Ariel in particular has made each experience terrific with her positive attitude and attention to detail!

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.

Great food awesome drinks ?
