I visited during lunch, and the atmosphere inside was great. I ordered the seafood platter from the lunch menu, which was listed as suitable for 2-3 people. However, I think it might not be enough for three – it felt just right for the two of us. All the seafood on the platter seemed to have been pre-cooked and stored in the fridge, then served over ice. Considering the price, I’m not sure I’d order it again. That said, the restaurant itself was lovely, and I’d like to return to try other dishes.

Great and friendly staff. The French Onion soup was delicious and also the Mussels. Been a bar setup its not as quiet but the playlist music is good!

The food was lovely and the service was great! Our table was beautifully set with fresh lavender and a candle lit water lantern. The restaurant is rather small, so I would recommend a reservation.
The quality of the products they use is definitely 10 out of 10. The Bison was cooked to perfection and exactly matching my request. The creme Brulee was one of the best we've had on the island.
Definitely recommend this lovely restraunt with amazing staff.
Vegetarian options: I definitely saw vegetarian options on the menu that sounds absolutely delicious.

Recommended dishes: Crème Brûlée, Bison Shoulder
Delightful, impeccable service, but really disappointing food. It doesn’t much to learn how to do a proper Caesar salad (hint: there is no creamy dressing and no you can’t charge $20 for lettuce and croutons), or prepare the bison shoulder with just a bit of originality and respect for the diner (potato puree and carrots side?! Come on). The seafood bisque was reportedly good and the mackerel pate is decent.
Would come back because the server was just so outstanding, but next time I’ll ask a lot more questions about the menu.
Kid-friendliness: Pretty kid friendly but they need to clean the high chairs.

We visited Vis-a-Vis during a dine-around event and were initially disappointed, so we never returned. However, today we decided to give it another try, and we had a great experience.
▪︎ The lamb was excellent; the side veggies were cooked perfectly, and the shredded potato block was amazing.
▪︎ The bison was also good, although the mushroom cream was quite salty, and the meat was a tad chewy.
▪︎ For dessert, the crème brûlée was decent.
Overall, I would definitely revisit this place again.
