The view was very good. We were only there for drinks before dinner at another place. The service was very good as well, which is the same for the entire hotel where the restaurant resides ... top floor. I wish we had been there when the fire works were happening down by the water.

Looking for a quieter place for a holiday buffet..this was it. The layout was complete but not overwhelming. It was flavorful and intriguing as well. Service was excellent, prompt and courteous. We have been here for meals before and were looking forward to the same level---and it did! We are returning for the next buffet. and will make this part... More

City Vu feels like it should be downtown Chicago. It's very chic, has a great cocktail and dinner menu, and is a great place to meet for drinks. Their gourmet flatbread pizzas are great for sharing.

Have dined here many times and tonight was by far the most dissapointing. The service was border line poor and the food mediocre. The soup was a few degrees above room temperature and there were apples in the salmon caesar salad. The Flatbread we ordered did not taste nor present itself as in the past. The server did not come... More

The food looked very good, but really had no taste. The table service was slow - at one point I had to go to the bar and find the waiter. He was good when he was around. Loved the view, stayed at the hotel and was very nice. Probably would not go to restaurant again.

We hadn't been back to this restaurant since they first opened. We decided to try it again for something different. We weren't disappointed. They have a wood burning oven and make great pizza. They have quite a variety of good, lighter meals. We were very pleased to learn that bottls of wine are 1/2 price on Wednesday, so that made... More

Located 5 stories up in downtown Holland, MI the City Vu Bistro is nice whether dining inside or out. A note if you are planning on patio dining (which I recommend) you may want to opt for a cooler day as they don't have any shade. The flatbreads are terrific but be sure to save room for dessert. They are... More

We’ve been curious about this restaurant since it’s inception but the many lukewarm and even downright bad reviews on various sites kept us away. We finally decided to tempt fate and venture out into the unknown if only to enjoy the restaurant’s ‘Vu’ of downtown Holland and surrounds. What a delicious surprise! Based on what recommendations I could find online,... More

The food was average, nothing to brag about. But the service was so slow it made the evening less than it could have been. After we were served we never saw another staff again! We had to hunt down the waitress for the bill! If the food had been fantastic - that would have made it worth while.

Neat hotel; great atmosphere and excellent service. Food did not live up to expectations or even appearance but it's a neat view. I would eat here again but no one in my group was dying to come back. "Cool" vibe here.
