Editorial Review for View Restaurant & Bar – by Michelle Olson
In Short
Polished young professionals unwind by sipping sunset-colored Viewtinis (rum, Chambord, pineapple and orange juices) in the sleek, bustling bar area. Front-row reveling is prime in the cozy lounge booths, where bar food goes the way of spring rolls, coconut shrimp and aged cheese plates. The dining room is a more intimate affair of velvet sofas and mood lighting, where Lakes-area locals can savor filet mignon with a zinfandel reduction in a more appropriately sophisticated setting.

I read the reviews for VIEW and decided to book my birthday party there. We stopped in the bar to have a cocktail before dinner and the server was SO INTENSE! he barely stayed at our table long enough to take our order. he was very loud and pretty rude. we could see him spending lots of time at other tables, but could barely order a drink for us. We moved into the dinner area where we had a table reserved for 15- they put 11 of us at one table and 4 at another table- i didnt want my guests sitting away from us- so i had the server rearrange the tables. we had 1 server for all of us and she was pretty quiet and a little stand-off. The food was great and i would certainly recommend the food, but the service was just below par. The host/owner at the front door was the nicest man i've ever met- but the servers we encountered were nothing of anything wonderful. i wouldnt recommend VIEW for large parties and i would recommend VIEW take a look at their staff and train them how to be more pesonal and more friendly to the guests.
