| - I was really excited for the new restaurant to open especially since it is owned and operated by local Vistancia residents. However, I am disappointed that the owners did not take into consideration that Vistancia's main attraction to current and future residents is an active lifestyle with our many community pools, hiking, running, and biking trails, golf courses, and tennis courts. It would have been nice to see some healthy alternatives to all of the fried foods, burgers, and fattening desserts on the menu. The atmosphere and menu are reminiscent of a greasy spoon diner you would find on Route 66 (with none of the charm) rather than a restaurant catering to an upscale neighborhood with modern families intent on raising healthy and active kids.
It is nice to see that the new owners have a lot of special events planned such as Karoke, Ladies Night, Live Music, and Line Dancing. But, it does make me uncomfortable to see the establishment place an equal amount of emphasis on adult events and "family atmosphere". I can't figure out if this is a gathering place for adults to drink, smoke, and sing off key (yes, smoking is allowed in the outside dinning area) or if this is a place for children to run around amped up on Kraft Mac and Cheese, and white rolls with cinnamon butter.
Lakeside and Squid Ink are better choices for adult entertainment and Smashburger and Chili's have better burgers with healthy options.
