Vista Restaurant

"I try coming here every time I visit Duke. Good breakfast. Service is accommodating and attentive. Always try to get a windows table to appreciate the view."

"I love coming here for a relaxing and yummy breakfast!"

"Attended a private event in the back room of this restaurant, which they charged a significant amount per head for. While the ambiance was fine (a little old school preppy but that's probably the vibe you'd expect), what I learned later was that when the organizers for my event tried to take home the leftover food (which keep in mind, we had paid for upfront and which we had a considerable amount left of top quality, expensive entrees and sides), the restaurant staff refused and said it was against their policy. I think this is something that overly high end spots do to appear more exclusive, but it's a disgusting behavior in an environment where there's already so much food waste in the world. On top of that, we as the guests had already paid for and had rights to that food (only about 50% of people signed up showed up, but we still paid for all 100% of the food). Personally I would never host an event here given this ridiculous wasteful behavior; if you do just make sure to look out for the food waste clause and negotiate that upfront."

"Had a very special birthday breakfast at the Vista, located in the Washington Duke Inn. Wait staff was extremely attentive and food was superb. So nice we could enjoy it even though we weren't staying at the Inn."

"Special place for all to meet and enjoy friendships Food is excellent and service outstanding"
