Dropped by late, so didn’t get to fully enjoy the food — we ordered wings and fries but mostly packed it to go. The main highlight was the shisha and drinks, paired with stunning views and a chill atmosphere. A great spot to relax and unwind, even if just for a short visit by Festival City. 🌃

The view is quite impressive, making it a pleasant place to dine. The staff were amazing, adding a warm and welcoming touch to the experience. The food was fresh and nicely prepared, contributing to an overall enjoyable meal. The vibes were decent, making it a good spot for a relaxed dining experience.😎😎

The table on the terrace gave us a nice view of the light and sound show at the fountains, it was marvelous! The staff was very accommodating and gave us a couple of small bowls of nuts to tide us over with our drinks. The food was not bad either. The Teriyaki Salmon was very tasty and satisfying, as was my husbands Fish and Chips. The dessert was big enough to share as well.

My boss, some colleagues, and I have been frequent visitors to Vista for more than a decade now. They have the best staff and service compared to other bars or lounges we have been to, which is why we visit the place frequently. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for relaxing after work. The food and beverages are also excellent. Speaking of service, one of the main reasons we love to hang out at Vista is that we find the staff to be friendly and accommodating, especially Kathy and Sabir. They always serve us and other customers with smiles and take our orders without any hassles. Whenever we have guests, we always invite them to join us at Vista to check out the place, and they are also amazed and have a great time. Keep up the good work and excellent service, Vista! Shout out to Kathy and Sabir! 😀🥂👌

A highly recommended and a must visit lounge at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City. VISTA, and what a view it has !!!!The food is very good but the drinks are out of this world. Paras and Minesh made our night with amazing cocktails. The atmosphere is great and wonderful. They have live entertainment every Thursday and Friday.We will back for sure.

I stayed in the hotel for two weeks. I tried several times to come here for happy hour, but just never felt quite right. I didnt feel comfortable, happy, and welcome until I was greeted by Faith! She found me a comfortable place to sit and took good care of me. Amir (I think thats his name) tried really hard as well, but Faith just made me feel like family. As a solo female traveler, this feeling in priceless! I came back the next two days just because of her! Thank you Faith for making my time at Vista memorable!

Supervisors are very professional, however the arabis shish guys unprofessional, notice that shisha guys always stereotype the people, the Arab staff need more training, overall 5, thanks to Kathy and mildred for the full support and appreciate there service.

This is by far THE BEST bar and lounge I have been to in Dubai! Huge shoutout to Mary & Francess for welcoming me with open arms and for recommending me the refreshing tequila cocktail. I also tried their Lobster for dinner and it was so delicious!

Walked in for the musical night at this venue..Honestlythe evening couldn’t have been more JOYFUL!! Staffs were truly delightful, engaging and friendly. Few mentions like Zafaran, Katy services and the recommendations didn’t disappoint at all! Our plans are even set to join next week expecting same! Singer is a hidden gem we found and can’t wait to return soon. Not to forget the bartender for her brilliant exhibition. Thanks alot

Its definitely a memory to remember visiting Vista last Friday! Was just passing by with a friend and did not expect how a simple night can be so special! First of all the ambience is very welcoming not intimidating yet socially inclined. Seafood Linguine and the Salmon made our night! Ricky and Nay made the experience more unforgettable! From the sitting suggestions, food recommendation and I must say they really know their products which is really helpful if you cant make up your mind which one to order. Nay is really really impressive! Very courteous and friendly. You wont feel awkward every time she checks on you she gives an ample enough of space for privacy but never fail to make you feel being cared of. For sure will be coming back again!

A lovely evening in an elegant restaurant overlooking the Bay.... We managed to catch a fountain show ⛲️ with the sound of music and tasty food... my husband ordered pasta in cream sauce with chicken and mushrooms and I ordered a Caesar salad... a perfect place for a romantic dinner by candlelight... I recommend it

Warm and pleasant welcome with a special mention for Nuwan and Faith who take great care of the customers. The food is excellent and the view is just magnificent over the creek with fireworks every evening at 10 p.m. during the end of Ramadan.We will come back inshallah.
