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.

Service = Horrendous
by Curlystew at Citysearch
This place has an attitude problem. The hosts and bartenders make you feel like you are a hassle. I got an idea, do your damn job and don't roll your eyes at customers. This place should go out of business shortly with the way things are going, and i wont miss it. I'd like to give it 0 stars, but 1 seems to be as low as I can go.
- Pros: Patio
- Cons: Horrible Service, Horrible Service, & Horrible Service

Horrible, Awful Service.
by mpls2009 at Citysearch
I normally don't leave reviews, but just had brunch and had such awful service I wanted to let other people know. Showed up for brunch and took us forever to get menus, forever for our order to be taken, then the waiter forgot my coffee and didn't show back up for 10 minutes to be reminded, and when he brought the food he let me sit for 10 more minutes before coming back and realizing that I didn't have any silverware. When my friend produced a gift certificate he gave us attitude. At this point we started giving attitude back, and he called us "dicks." The food is mediocre, the location is difficult, and with service like this, there's no reason to go to The View. Especially if you get the asian guy waiter. I am never going back, there are too many other good restaurants in uptown.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Service Service Service

Great food and service
by uptowndweller at Citysearch
Nice decor, great employees, fabulous food. The Steak Salad is to-die-for. The always-watchful management ensures you're being taken care of. The service is casual and friendly, personal. A great place to relax after work.
- Pros: Friendly employees, disciplined operation
- Cons: Can be a little loud for quiet conversation

Mediocre food
by KikiMPLS at Citysearch
I'm surprised to find so many positive review about View. My husband and I went for the first time yesterday for Sunday brunch and couldn't be more disappointed in a restaurant that looks nice and has a great location. I ordered the crab eggs benie and all I could taste was red peppers. My husband had a dried out omelet. I suppose I'm not surprised- there no line to get in for popular Sunday brunch and the manager was sitting on the stairs in the main dining area talking on his cell phone.
- Pros: Good location
- Cons: Bad food and quiet during brunch
