| - Vue 412. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a very nice host. He was extremely friendly and I love that kind of service. Our waiter and waitress were both very nice as well! A welcoming environment is always a plus when eating out!
As a whole, I have to be honest . . . Vue 412 was a miss for me. My family and I ate an early dinner (about 5pm) and the dining room was full of commotion while we were seated with employees prepping for the evening service. That should've happened earlier in the day - not after you open for dinner service. It was very bizarre. That kind host (was he the owner?) even had an altercation with an employee within earshot of our table . . .
Awkward.
Our waiter was very kind and then was absent for a long time and then we received a new waitress.
I still hope he's okay . . .
The food was really just okay. I'm glad the price-point wasn't any higher, but my meal was a $15 plate at best - not the $25 I paid (veal piccata). I tasted a bite of my wife's meal (salmon) and it really tasted good! The desserts were also very tasty and veryyy nicely presented!
We were in there for close to 2 hrs. Everything. Took. For. Ev. E. R.
The view was incredible and why the restaurant got 3 stars instead of 2! The inside decor, however, is a bit strange. It has a hint of fine dining with butcher paper on the tables...it just doesn't quite fit. Visual esthetic in a restaurant is something very important to me when dining out, and I really thought on more than a handful of occasions that Vue is a bit of a missed opportunity.
I see Vue as a place with a ton of potential! They have the location, which is more than 3/4 the battle (location, location, locat...). Nail the decor, button up the professionalism in the dining room, develop a more cohesive menu, quicken the service . . . You'll compete with the best of them and make a killing doing it. I want that for these guys because they're really nice!
