We were very impressed by the location and by the wait staff. This restaurant looks over St John’s bay

After my brief experience this past Saturday, I am 99.99% sure that I will never be returning to this establishment nor would I recommend it!
On Saturday evening I had dropped my wife and daughter off on Duckworth street to avail of the local Craig’s Cookie’s store. Of course there was no where to park in that area, so I just dropped them off and proceeded to drive down Duckworth Street. I then made the loop back up to Gower Street and came back down Ordnance Street figuring by the time I made the loop they would be ready. Of course they were not. So I decided to make the loop again.
Before I got very far my wife called stating they were ready. Again I looked and again there was no where to pull in to wait so I decided to pull into the parking lot of this establishment to turn around.
As I was pulling into there was a car backing out of a space, so I waiting for them to do so. As I was waiting a knock came at my driver side window. It was, I am assuming the manager or owner of the Vu. She very ignorantly told me that “this parking lot is for customers only”.
I said that I was just turning around to pick up my wife and daughter back where I dropped them off.
By this time my wife had seen me pull into this lot so them walked down to meet me.
I turned around to leave and was given the “death stare” as I was leaving. Also one of their workers was placing a rope across the parking lot entrance and had it half pulled up wanting me to cross it. I wouldn’t, I made her lower it so it would not hook in my truck.
So I would like to know, how did this person know that I was not a customer? I very could have been! Was it because I was driving a truck and not a BMW or Mercedes or didn’t look like I had a six figure salary? Or was it that I wasn’t dressed in a shirt and tie, I had on a T shirt and hat, so I probably did not meet their entrance requirements to dine there? Which is what ever the hell it is!
Either way I was very insulted by her actions and I am pretty confident that I will never be dinning there and I will not be recommending this establishment to any of my vast high end circle of friends who would typically dine in such an establishment.
If their customer service is anything like their management then this establishment will not last very long in my opinion.

Amazing view with convenient customer parking. This high-end restaurant offers stunning harbor views — almost every seat in the house has a great view. The dining environment is elegant and pleasant. We ordered burgers and the blackened smoked duck with duck risotto — everything was delicious and unique. They also serve local Iceberg beer.

Don't order steak here. Could not order less than medium. Service was slow for a planned large group.
Amanda Stajan
Absolutely delicious. Wonderful service. Great views of the bay. We had the chowder, fish and chips, and prawn lettuce wraps. Everything was phenomenal!
Pat Rivers
Had fish and chips there tonight. Fish was obviously frozen and was dry while the chips tasted as if they had been reheated. Have had much better fish and chips at Ches’s and in St.Phillips. Service was also slow. The view was fabulous.

Exceptional food with an incredible view. Definitely try the mussels and the gnocchi.

That was our second time visiting. The view is amazing and definitely one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Most of the food prices are reasonable; however, the steaks are a bit on the expensive side—though they are absolutely delicious.
We brought a birthday cake on both occasions. The first time, there was no charge for the cake-cutting service, but on our second visit, we were unexpectedly charged $20 for four people.
Overall, it’s a lovely place with a great atmosphere, and the staff are always nice and polite

Salmon was undercooked. The food was lukewarm. We also ordered the fish and chips, really not that good..they charged additional $8 for dressing and gravy. We didn't know until we saw the bill. The steak was tender but again without knowing the market price made it $63. Would appreciate better food quality and transparency on your pricing.
Great service, great food and a great view. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
