The dessert - Dubai chocolate and lobster were delicious. The service was quick and polite.

Had breakfast at the view twice and the server, Jay, was exceptional both times. Amazing service, great attitude, very attentive. We need more servers like him! Food was good too.

I recently celebrated my birthday at View Restaurant with my best friend, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for our special gathering. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate the occasion. Overall, View Resturant made my birthday celebration extra special, and I can't wait to return. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to enjoy a great meal with friends, this place is a must-visit!

What a gorgeous location, the food and service was outstanding. I believe our server was Peter and he was great. We went early to get the sunset , they have heaters outside on patio. They also provide blankets if you need one. Get the rolls for sure and the poke bowl was good.

Atmosphere: Absolutely gorgeous spot to unwind. We came on a Sunday & it was perfectly chill: glowing pool, medium-volume beats setting the mood, & multiple fireplaces adding cozy ambiance. Both indoor & outdoor areas are stunning, with beautiful chairs & tables that make you want to linger. If you’re a “vibes” person, this is the place. Service: Wonderful! Our server checked on us multiple times without hovering, making sure we always had what we needed. Friendly, attentive, & genuinely kind..the kind of service that makes you feel well taken care of. Food: We started with the asiago bread & miso apple butter..just perfection. The right balance of sour/tart & decadent. The Caesar salad had a subtle hint of sweetness that made it stand out from the usual. The ginger carrot soup with Thai basil & coconut milk was thicker than expected & had a slight kick to it from the large pieces of fried shallot crunching in your teeth- really good. We split the poke bowl with yellowtail..fantastic. Crunchy texture from the fried shallots & crispy garlic, lightly sweet (which we prefer), with two types of seaweed, edamame for added protein, & high-quality sushi rice. Drinks: Loved the What Up Doc & the Zentini..both delicious, light, and refreshing. Extras: Complimentary valet was such a nice touch! easy drop-off and pickup. Downsides: The only downside was that both the indoor bar Reveal & the outdoor pool bar had limited hours, so they were closed during our visit. We came to experience dinner + a night cap at a different venue within the property, so we were a bit disappointed the online hours didn’t reflect reality Overall: Beautiful ambiance, excellent service, & delicious food & cocktails..this spot is a total vibe. We’ll absolutely be back, especially when both bars are open!

Johnnie L from The View restaurant is the best!! Always A++++ service… ask for Johnnie when dining at The View. Thanks Johnnie!!

After searching for where to have our lunch, we found this place and it did not disappoint!! View had a beautiful setting, comfortable ambiance, and delicious food!! I went with the recommended poke nachos. It had fresh tuna pieces!! My friend had chose their grapefruit salad and truffle fries. Both were great, as well, except I did not like the bluecheese dressing. Salad itself was refreshing. Truffle fries were delicious!! If you're in the area, do stoo by for an amazing lunch or dinner!! 5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for amazing everything!!

The food and ambiance are great, and the service is even better. Jay was a particular highlight each day—attentive, gracious, and friendly. Looking forward to returning!

What an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our server, Breanna, was an absolute standout—attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel special. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. The food was incredible! Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully plated, and somehow tasted even better than it looked. And the drinks? Simply outstanding—expertly crafted and perfectly paired with the meal. This place has it all: exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and a fantastic vibe. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!

I’m not one to leave reviews but the service & care we received yesterday was too good not to talk about. Aldo went above & beyond for us. Some stuff didn’t come out at the right times but he made it work. I would come back here because of his kindness, attention to detail & joyful personality. The food was decent & the drinks were delicious. Definitely get the crispy tuna rice it was fresh & we wanted more.

I have eaten here before and has better experiences. The service was exceptional but the entree pasta was nothing to write home about (but...that's kinda of what I am doing!) The short rib ragu was not very exciting. It was not very flavorful and rather dry. The small Caesar salad before the entree was very good. Other entrees that I have eater here have been very good. But not this ragu. Service was, as always, exceptional and very attentive. I will continue to recommend this restaurant. Give it a try, won't you?

combining stunning views, a chic atmosphere, and a menu that, while concise, delivers on flavor and creativity. The hummus is smooth and flavorful, offering a delightful start to the meal. The crispy chicken wings stand out with their unique preparation, delivering a rich and savory taste that's both different and delicious. Sushi enthusiasts will appreciate the signature rolls, which are fresh and expertly crafted .

A pleasant surprise hidden in the Vea hotel. First off their holiday decoration is gorgeous. The food didn’t look as appetizing as I expected and it tasted okey but decently priced given the location. We tried the turkey sandwich which had generous amount of cheese and on the juicy side. The burger was not the best burger but a good average version and a good portion of patty to cheese with a huge side of fries. The Caesar salad’s dressing was delicious but the lettuce was sloppily chopped and cut in huge pieces. The crab sushi was dry and bland (but I think the best sushi’s always belong to sushi places with Japanese chefs in charge). The kids loved their sliders (the cutest tiny sized sliders with crispy fries). The service was pretty good; super polite and nice host and attentive server. Overall worth a try, we’ll go back for another shot at other items on their menu.

Great restaurant, decent outdoor area and nice food. Valet only, but you can park on the street as well.

After months of anticipation I decided to go to this restaurant at the newly updated Vea hotel. Pulling up to the hotel was beautiful. Dropped off the car at valet and went inside. The hotel has a beautiful lobby and the restaurant was straight ahead. The restaurant itself was very nice. Modern bar layout and high ceilings. Definitely Newport worthy. Got seated at our table and that’s when things went downhill. We waited 15 minutes until somebody finally came to ask if we wanted water and drinks. This wasn’t because the restaurant was busy…it was relatively dead. So we ordered our drinks and those were pretty good. I tried the blood Orange Margarita. I recommend that. Then another 10 minutes go by and we order appetizers. We got truffle fries which were too expensive for what they were…basic at most and not worth it. Then 20 minutes later waiter asks what we’d like to eat. We ordered the lobster roll and the wagyu. The food arrived adult another 20 minutes. The lobster roll was great. I recommend that. The wagyu steak was a complete rip off and tasted awful. It was salty and definitely not cooked very well. All in all service was not good. Food was mediocre at best. The menu options were very random. The only thing I liked about the restaurant was the bar and the interior design. I hope they improve their service as it’s a shame for a new restaurant in the area to be so awful 🤦🏻‍♂️

While the ambience, service, and good taste were decent, the portions were simply way too small. I understand fine dining often results in smaller portions, but this wasn’t nearly “fine” enough to warrant the tiny portions.

Upon arriving at the hostess stand , the tone was set. I was initially turned off because our table was given up after being 2 minutes past the 15 minute grace period although the restaurant seemed far from full. The hostess was not very pleasant , lacking eye contact what seemed like the entire time, although she did seat us elsewhere. Echoing many of the other reviews , the service was awful. They were inattentive , very slow to follow up , very slow to bring out food, no follow through on a pre requested birthday surprise even after alerting the manager on site for the evening . For context we arrived at 6:45p and left after 9 ( a party of 2). This draggggg of a dinner experience was not by choice . Now the food- truly tasteless and dry. See pictured the miserable sliders. Crab salad was sent back. The restaurant had some saving moments which were the sticky rice , fries and espresso martini , and a fully comped bill of all food. However, they alone are not worth referring this place . If they plan to survive , I highly encourage they improve the quality of their service all around from the top to the bottom and replace excuses with resolutions so customers leave happy. Not my experience unfortunately.

We went to Vea for the New Year’s Eve dinner expecting an elegant, refined experience, as advertised. Unfortunately, it was far from that. The environment was extremely loud, with mechanical music at a volume that made conversation impossible without shouting. This kind of noise has no place in a restaurant positioning itself as upscale. Service was also poorly coordinated. Drinks took an excessive amount of time; one cocktail was only declared unavailable after about 15 minutes. A basic Cosmopolitan took far too long to arrive. A Coke Zero took two courses to be served. Wine was poured before bread and butter, which completely compromises the tasting — especially considering we had empty stomachs. At $132 per person and $72 for a bottle of wine, this level of service is simply unacceptable. We ended up leaving early. A disappointing experience overall, especially given the price point and expectations for a New Year’s Eve dinner.

I would definitely give 0 stars if I could. The hostess was fine the check in was fine. The service was silent…. A woman came introduced herself gave us lukewarm water on a hott night and never returned. I literally came because of a video I seen posted on the internet. Out of all the amazing restaurants near by I specifically chose this one and was completely disappointed to say the least.
