We were there at night time so I don't really see any view. The burger slides were good. The rolls were very fresh & soft, but the meatballs were very salty. It's a place to drink at bar.

We celebrated my daughter’s wedding celebration there last night and it was such a great time. The venue and all of the staff, especially the manager, were beyond amazing and accommodating! We had around 100 people, buffet (food was delicious ) DJ, dancing and it was a huge success, everyone had the best time. I would highly recommend!

Definitely not what I was expecting based on the pictures. It's more a clubhouse for older men to have beers not an up scale brunch spot.Burger was good for the price point.

New owner, Billie Fraser, is making his mark at the helm of The View. The friendly atmosphere often associated with The View is now gone, with the departure of former owner, Chris Carr. Customer satisfaction comes second to Bill; the bottom line comes first.He refused to honor a $200 gift certificate purchased a year ago (with no expiration date). The View’s golden days are behind her, with the departure of the great Chris Carr. A sad day for the once respected establishment. Take your business to Boston Butler instead; or anywhere else for that matter.

We hosted a Saturday night event for 75 people at The View (June 2022) to celebrate our son and it was just about as perfect as it could get. We wanted a space where people could eat and hang out outside because of Covid, and The View fit the bill. But we didn't know what it would look or feel like (or even how the food would taste since we hadn't eaten there before), but everything turned out amazing.The party was from 7-11pm. We had the L-shaped outdoor space from 7pm with two tables inside with curtains creating a partition from the rest of the restaurant. We had a band for background music from 7-9. At around 8:45/9, all other customers were gone and we moved all of the rest of the tables aside. We pre-loaded a playlist for the MyTunes "jukebox" and used the space as a dancefloor (and were able to keep all of the sliding glass doors open for additional Covid safety measures).Billy was so easy to work with around arranging the menu (Italian vegetarian) and was so accommodating with two 13-year-olds who are gluten free. We worked to figure out the right configuration for the outside part and the tablecloths (and chair covers that they had, which we paid extra for, and we're so glad we did!) elevated the space and it looked beautiful.We brought outdoor games, such as giant Connect 4, badminton, etc. for the kids (ages ranging from 6 through 17), which we were able to set up around the corner but in sight from the patio. Being able to have those was huge for the younger guests!The food was excellent! Billy and Bill put together a custom menu for us, since they didn't have anything fully vegetarian on the catering menu. This included stuffed shells and an artichoke salad. We also had stands of cheese and crackers, caprese skewers, and Mediterranean food, as well as some passed appetizers. Based on Billy's recommendation, we also got several pizzas, which were given right to the kids, and made them so happy.On top of everything, each staff member working that night was kind, helpful, accommodating, and just lovely.We had an incredible experience with The View for our event and I would highly recommend this venue--it truly exceeded our expectations and we will definitely host events here in the future.

Very nice place to hold a gathering. My family recently held a bereavement function here after my dad's funeral and The View was able to put together a very nice function for us on a fairly short notice. Bill and his team did a great job in organizing everything and serving the food. Everything went smoothly. We were very impressed. They have a few different options for your function buffet and all of them are very reasonably priced and have some very good items on them. We picked the buffet that included baked stuffed chicken, baked fish, salad, oven roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. When we arrived at the function room everything was set up in advance and the food was hot and ready to go. The food was out of this world especially the baked stuffed chicken which was my very favorite item on the buffet. We also ordered a cookie tray for dessert and the cookies were delicious as well. The dining area was immaculate and there was plenty of room for all of our guests. The staff went around clearing plates off of our tables as we finished our plates of food and made sure we were enjoying everything. The service here was very professional and my family and all of our guests were very happy with this place. We will definitely be using The View for any functions that we may have in the future. Thank you Bill and staff for a very enjoyable function.

We had a great experience at The View Restaurant! This place took Covid protocols seriously. Chris and Charlie were so helpful with planning my brothers surprise 30th as a small gathering. Lisa and Dan provided excellent hospitality! Overall great experience. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is my favorite. I go to many restaurants but to this place I go the most. The team is very friendly and the cooking they cook is so flavorful. I would always prefer to have a nice dinner in this place. Highly recommended.
