Pricey but over all good food and staff. Definitely check this place out if you don't mind spending some $$$. Took my girlfriend here and she loved it.
The lack of a greeter and the really anti-social attitude of our server really put me off this place despite the fairly solid breakfast. There was another waitress working that day and she seemed much more enthusiastic and efficient so if you get her, you’d probably have a much more satisfying experience.
Good enough. I like this place. good views of course, good atmosphere and nice booze. however the food will hit you right in the wallet and never on the tongue or in the stomach unfortunately.
Incredible views, tasty snacks.
Professional service - it's all good.
Very nice!. Ate here twice in late 2012. Both times the service was excellent and the food was first rate. Hosted a staff Christmas party here and couldn't have been more satistfied with the quality of the meals, service, ambiance and reasonable cost.
Wow, is all I can say!. Went to Vista 18 for an anniversary dinner and the service from Haley was spectacular. A favourite of ours for years the Vista 18 (formerly the Parrot house some 20 plus years ago ) is always worth it . The mussels , tenderloin and rhubarb desert were to die for. Thanks again for a special night we will not forget. We will be back again !
Seafood hot pot is amazing!
Accommodates vegans. Service was relaxed and friendly (not fast) but suited our group of four as we were there to chat and enjoy watching the sun set. One of us is vegan, and our server and the chef accommodated him with a wonderful tofu Stir fry that may have been the tastiest of the four entrees - and the other three were excellent. Edamame beans were nicely seasoned with a touch of mint. Happy customer, will return.
The City's Best. In a number of areas i find it the best
1. location - right downtown, on the 18th floor of a hotel
2. view - AMAZING
3. food - delicious and beautifully presented
4. price - reasonable, for a hotel VERY inexpensive
5. service - especially one of the female servers - wow, can we say friendly and extremely POLITE.
when everything comes together like this, it makes for the perfect dining experience!
Steak was great, service good. Chairs uncomfortable. Overall it was acceptable. I expected more elegance and an overall more classc table service for the price, such as salads prepared at your table etc. Great view though.
Retro furnishings but awesome view. Love to go for the panoramic & beautiful view of the city. It's the best place to watch the sunset over the inner harbour.
That's what you pay for, and delicious desserts :)
We enjoyed an excellant steak dinner befor the theatre
We had a fantastic dinner there last night. Food was awesome. Great wine list. Spectacular view.

Appys and Martinis. We went to Vista 18 while staying in Victoria, we live in Washington. We first went to the lounge in the lobby of hotel, where the vibe was very nice. The furnishings were modern and the one drink we had was nice. Later in our stay we went upstairs to Vista 18 on Martini Monday. The furnishings up there were kinda 70's but the service and the drinks made up for it. The bartender made the best martinis i have ever had, and the hostess made sure we did not get forgotten when another large group dropped into the bar. We ordered appys which came out quickly and someone else brought them too us, who was just as friendly as the rest of the staff. We did look at the menu for dinner, which seemed too expensive, but the drinks and appy was reasonably priced. The view up there was amazing, although people complained they couldnt sit at the best table; you would only have a bad view if you ate your meal or enjoyed your drinks with your eyes closed. I wish we had something like this at home, and I would love to come back. (Especially if there is good weather here like we heard)
Perhaps the combination of being in a hotel and not on street level, Vista 18 may often be overlooked when contemplating a dinner out. The excellent food, sustainable approach, locally sourced ingredients, and amazing views of the city, should put Vista 18 at the top of your list for your next romantic meal.
Victoria's only rooftop restaurant offers panoramic views of the city as well as delicious eats. You should order the...
The Vista 18 Restuarant and Lounge is located atop the Chateau Victoria Hotel. Got there just as the sun had set, and I can verify the view of the sunset to the west was amazing. We ordered Chicken and Prawns, and also 10oz strip loin.... the entire meal was very spot on. I had to make sure the waiter, whom was also bery delightful and tentative , to let the Chef know we acknowledged his expertise. 75$ each for a couple drinks and our meal including appetizers. I Definitely recommend this very clean and looked after gem.
This place is perfect for date night. The atmosphere is amazing. The services are great. Kevin was very friendly and attentive.
The food was good but most dishes are a bit too salty for me.
There are many options on the drink menu. They also have a kids menu with a few options. The view of the sunset was remarkable.
I had an exceptional experience ordering breakfast from the restaurant attached to the hotel. The bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast were not only delicious but also reasonably priced. Despite a mishap with my order, the staff promptly called my room and resolved the issue with utmost efficiency. The outstanding customer service exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly give it a 5-star rating. The food quality paired with exceptional service makes this place a must-visit.
The food is just so fantastic!! You can feel every piece melting in your mouth. The entrees are so good that makes you feel is the main course. Absolutely lovely. I can’t wait to visit again.
We had a wonderful dining experience here with great food and service and a fantastic view of the city. We had the fresh Oysters and Humboldt Squid as appetizers. Then the Sesame Tuna and Pork Tenderloin for our main course. Cheesecake and Three Truffles for dessert.
World class food, some of the best! Dinner server Michael left an impression nobody can ever live up to, what a service, such a caring gentlemen, treating diners like royalty. If not just for food, I’d come back just to be served by Michael again. Salmon and squid for dinner with a guava passion fruit juice was a very memorable combo, I’d have it again. Breakfast is great too, but service is just normal. Potato Green Apple soup with olive oil was the bomb for breakfast! The Artichoke Spinnach benny on their biscuit was really good, I packed one home too and it stays fresh and soft for long time. Wow wow wow! Great vegetarian and pescatarian options!

I've had the opportunity to host a client appreciation event at Vista 18, renting out half of the top floor, and it was a fabulous experience. The venue lent itself perfectly to the occasion, with the staff providing excellent service and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The ambiance, coupled with the attentive service, made for a successful and memorable event.
Vista 18 is not just a great place to dine; it's also an exceptional venue to host events. Whether you're planning a special dinner, a business event, or just looking for a place with great food and views, Vista 18 is highly recommended.

A wonderful treat with a very satisfying Dine Around menu! Kevin was a very attentive, friendly and professional waiter who clearly takes pride in his work. The food was fresh, delicious and well presented. Always a pleasure dining here and we'll definitely be back!
Food is pretty good! We ordered the Smoked pork belly hash and Chicken and waffles. I asked for soft poached eggs but they were a lil bit overcooked but I didn't mind. This price is decently priced and also has a beautiful view of Victoria. The service was good too, I really liked our server, I think her name was Sherry? Everyone was very nice. Kid friendly restaurant too, a lot of families came to this spot.
This place always amazes me , never had a bad meal here!
They do have a happy hour till 6 (if I remember correctly), food is delicious and service is great. Highly recommend. Free parking if you go into the desk.
I’ve been here twice now and absolutely loved it! I can’t remember the name of the person who made our drinks but the rhubarb 75 cocktail is incredible and one of the best I’ve ever had. The servers are great and just an overall wonderful place to have a cocktail or some delicious food. Can’t beat the view either!
A convenient downtown Victoria location, with a fantastic 270 degree wrap around view of the inner harbour. The food was excellent and the service staff were professional and very friendly. Made for a memorable dinner with friends.
We went in for me and my friends 18th birthday. Amelia was fun, helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. She did a great job creating a laid back lovely experience. Food was fantastic, views absolutely worth it. Will be back the next time we are in the province!
Came here for HH, excellent service. Once we walked in the host immediately greeted us and sat us down at a table by the corner. I have been here many years ago and always enjoyed the vibe and views here. Still pretty happy with Vista 18. Their food was yummy and the drinks were unique.
Overall great spot for HH and a pretty reasonable price!
I went for a brunch here on weekend. The view and ambience was great and we had good service too. The ice-cream here is a must try. The breakfast platters are huge too and very budget friendly. Will definitely visit again soon🥰
