My friend and I went for a Christmas lunch today, our first visit. The hotel restaurant ambiance is top notch and we were looking forward to our dining experience. Beautiful Christmas decorations, warm lighting and luxurious marble everywhere. Our window view was lovely. But the food - very disappointing. My friend ordered the cervechi and I ordered the Chicken Parm sandwich, both highly disappointing. The fries were frozen, not fresh. The coleslaw tasted like it was from a grocery store deli shop with a limp pickle on top. The sandwich was non descript and I left most of it and the rest of my lunch on my plate. My friend said the cerviche was not at all what she envisioned. Our server saw all the non eaten food and asked if I wanted it packaged up to go. When I said no, thanks, she didn't enquire about my satisfaction with the food (or lack of). When the bill arrived, we told her we were disappointed in the food and to pass this along. Not at all a French inspired restaurant. We might go back in the summer for a drink and view but we'd skip the food. And beware, alcoholic drinks are pricey.

Had Saturday brunch here! The food was great. The fresh pastries were so good, as well as the bread and salted butter. The best part was actually the cocktails. They were pricey so my friend and I were skeptical, but when we received our drinks we understood why. They looked hand crafted and tasted so delicious. Oh also, the view. Wow. Such a beautiful location! They are building more facilities like a spa and some cabins so it's going to be a full retreat one day. Was also happy to have online booking for reservations. So convenient. My only gripe would be that I wish the brunch menu was more varied. But that's my personal preference! Not worth deducting a star. Looking forward to visiting again!

I absolutely loved the atmosphere! The food was outstanding, especially the bread boule with truffle honey and salted butter. It was the perfect starter! You definitely have to try it! The other dishes were excellent as well, each contributing to a delightful experience. Plus, our waitress was incredibly nice, which made the visit even more enjoyable!😊

We went for a Xmas staff party. The venue was great with the little market, Santa photo and the live music. The outdoor decoration with the snow all around gave the night a good feel. The food not so much. Edible but odd. The lighting in the restaurant is dark and so the food looks ok but if you turn the lights on the food looks less appetizing. I had the veal chop it was edible but the three types of sauces made it odd kind of like a weird tricolour of sauces. The pork belly starter was a disappointment kind of like a super expensive plate of pork and beans you would have for breakfast. The fries were also a disappointment like they were not house made and out of the bag like cavendish farms or Sysco. Having said that most people at the table had the steak and they loved it. Also the Christmas cocktail was real cool. Overall the experience had a great Christmas feel but food wise a bit of a disappointment given the price.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Vista and it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming. The lighting was just right, creating an intimate and comfortable atmosphere that made me feel warm and cozy. The service was really good, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions I had about the menu. Speaking of the menu, it was simply outstanding. The dishes were expertly crafted, and the presentation was a true feast for the eyes. Each item was a culinary masterpiece that was both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. One standout dish was the beef steak, which was perfectly cooked and was out of this world. The wine list was also impressive, featuring a wide range of selections from around the world, and the staff were happy to make recommendations based on my preferences. Overall, my dining experience at this luxury restaurant was truly exceptional. The combination of outstanding service, exquisite cuisine, and beautiful ambiance made it an evening to remember. While it may be a bit pricey, it's worth every penny for anyone who is looking for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

We tagged along with a friend who was doing PR/social media marketing for The Vista on Sunday evening. From start to finish it was a great experience. The team was ever so accommodating and polite. Since photos needed to be taken of food and drinks, we requested a table change which allowed for better lighting and the team quickly set us up at another table with no qualms. Our servers (Crystal and Trey) were knowledgeable, charismatic and a pleasure to be around. The food was delicious and the presentation was lovely. The atmosphere was fantastic and made for a really enjoyable evening out with friends. We kept talking about how lovely the scenic views are and imagining ourselves back for another experience. Definitely recommend checking it out! Note if you plan to wear heels: No biggie but it is gravel from the parking area up a little ways on the driveway so be careful walking.

The service was good; but very overpriced for what it was. Food did not taste fresh. Better options in the region.

Was very disappointed with my experience here. The food was average at best for the price of the meal. Service was good and attentive and the ambience was not as nice as the pictures make it. I understand it s hard to rate a restaurant on only one visit but I can t bring myself to give it another try where I know for $750 (party of 4) there are many other options where I have never been disappointed like this.

Went for brunch for fathers day, first time there. i don,t mind paying a higher price for good food, but this wasnt up to par, Gravalax was good but 3 slices didnt really feed me, The eggs benedict was meh for $29, fairly dry and not enough hollandaise, served with a side of what seemed to be canned maple syrup bean, and dry cubes potatoes. Just an idea.. local asparagus and tomatoes are in season Not worth the cost really Over $200 for 4 ppl for brunch with only 1 alcoholic drink is a bit excessive Most likely not gonna try the dinner

Family members travelled from near and far to convene at the Vista to celebrate a milestone birthday with all 3 generations present. Vista staff were exceptionally accommodating and went above and beyond to make our celebration all that it could be. The food was fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. Most of all, the staff, and in particular our server/hostess Angelique took care of our every need and made the dinner so enjoyable. Thank you The Vista staff for a lovely evening. Top marks, all around.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This did not feel like a fancy restaurant and it was super cold! My main issue though was the food. Nothing paired well with each other, everything lacked flavour and was over cooked and dry. I truly don t know how this place has the ratings it does. Not only would I give it poor review but I really would recommend NEVER coming here.

We went for dinner on New Years Eve, and everything was great from the time we arrived to the time we left. The grounds and building were picturesque, and they had complimentary valet parking as we pulled up. There was a band playing soft music during dinner and the atmosphere was great. We ordered the seafood tapas, prime beef rib, and lamb chops, which were all incredible. We also had a very large shareable dessert and a few cocktails that were all very good. The service was incredible as well. I highly recommend The Vista for dinner for a special occasion or a night out. We look forward to returning and enjoying the view during the day.

December 21, 2023

We went yesterday for New Years and had a terrible experience I don t know who is cooking or approves the meals before they are served but we ordered the halibut and it looked and tasted like it was left in the fridge over night fish was so over cooked and you can tell the fish soup at the bottom wasn t prepared it was pre made at-least a day before. Took 15 min to get a drink. This is unacceptable. If you are looking for quality of food I would suggest another 5 min ride to grey-stones in Orangville.

I would describe the overall experience as meh. Definitely did not meet the expectations of a fine dining restaurants and was far overpriced relative to the value. The restaurant sits on lovely grounds and is beautifully lit in the evening so the atmosphere is great. Unfortunately we found the food and service to be below expectations across the board. On the service side, everything was incredibly slow. Our water was never refilled and our waitress was hardly ever around so impossible to flag down. She was a lovely and kind waitress but there was just no one monitoring to see if drinks were low and proactively bring water. It took 20 mins to get any water and it took 40 mins for them to bring us the bread we asked for the start. I have never waited so long for bread in my life. On the food side everything was just bland and lacked a depth of flavor. The baked oysters were fairly good but the french onion soup, bread boule, chicken supreme and beef short ribs were all just meh. Mains were served with cold unseasoned vegetables and nearly every component lacked any seasoning or flavor complexity. I have notes on nearly every dish but it really just boils down to a lack of skill in the kitchen to deliver a flavorful meal. We did enjoy the drinks, the Blood Orange mocktail was quite nice. Compliments to the bar. I do want to note they did take one of the mains off our bill when we noted it was a bit lacking in flavor so that was redeeming but there were just so many elements that missed the mark, not just one dish. By the end of the experience I just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible and never come back. Plus my husband got food poisoning later in the evening following the dinner so that was unpleasant as well.

When in Caledon, be sure to add this restaurant to your list! The Vista restaurant is a contemporary fine dining restaurant located in Caledon at Mount Alverno. Here, they specialize in traditional Canadian cuisine with a French twist. The food and presentation was great, and we even met with a sommelier who assisted us with choosing the perfect wine to pair with our meal. She was so knowledgeable and spot on. Talk about service!

I would highly recommend the trip up to Caledon to try this place. Such incredible views that you wouldn t get in the city. The staff are quite friendly as well. The food is not amazing but pretty good. The cocktails are are delicious and deliver a punch. My only comment is with the dining area , it has classy furniture, but it s very empty and makes you feel like you re sitting in the cafeteria. They need to do more to fill up the void.

Went for Easter brunch with the family, didn t know what to expect, it exceeded every expectation. It is very beautiful inside and out, the staff were very helpful all the way through. The buffet food was outstanding, I started with an omelette which was fresh and delicious. (Sorry omelette guy you need more practise) his flipping needed practice but it was delicious. The ham and prime rib were perfect, everyone had a great meal, we ll be going for dinner here soon .go see this place!

Thank you for an excellent celebration meal. From the moment we entered the building, and were greeted at the front door, the service was exceptional. The meal itself was perfect - presentation, taste and portion size were all top notch. We had a group of 6 - and while all of the dishes were savory, special mention for the tuna appetizer, the Angus steak and walleye-pickerel. The setting is stunning. The grounds are currently under construction as they add a wedding venue and spa. Overall, a great experience.

This place gets 2 stars for creating expectations but not living up to them. Decent views (but not that special really). Modern contemporary building (but not really luxurious finishings). Intriguing looking menu (but woefully pedestrian result). Food is extremely over-priced when considering the execution and ingredients. We were disappointed with every element of the experience the best way I can sum up this review is to say this was a real lipstick on a pig situation.

I had been planning to go here for a while but my expectations were not high when I looked at the online lunch menu. Very little stood out. Sadly, even my low expectations were not met. Frankly, the food was terrible, both the chicken sandwich and the pickerel on bread. The chicken was particularly tough and unappealing, and there wasn t a green leaf in sight. This would barely pass muster at a diner. We won t be going back.

Atrocious food and exceptionally expensive (for what it is). Sad because the venue has potential. Gummy overdone pasta, bland salads, fatty cuts of meat, brown tuna tartare and squid ink pasta that tasted just gross. This place is a cash cow for wedding venues but gets an F for a La Carte dining. I can t believe this disappointing meal. Absolutely gross. Will NEVER come back would HIGHLY discourage anyone from dining there. Be weary of all the fake reviews

My family and I ordered Christmas dinner from the Vista and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The turkey was very flavourful, and the festive sides were delicious. We will definitely be ordering again. Thank you to the Chef and team for a great experience!

We ordered the Jaricot Burger last night with a side kale Caesar salad. BEST BURGER ever! Why would you ever go to a fast food joint again when you can have a locally prepared, fresh made burger, lovingly assembled and packaged for takeout. Salad was also amazing, but truthfully the burgers and accompanying sides filled us up, so only order a side salad if you haven t eaten in days. And to top it off, a special treat of Chef s biscotti was added to our order to enjoy with a coffee. Truly a great local establishment. Give it a try!!

Welcome to the neighbourhood The Vista! Being across the road will definitely come in handy. We had the pleasure of trying some delightful burgers today (one vegetarian and one beef) and they truly hit the spot. The house made condiment was very tasty and I loved the compostable packaging. I cant wait to have a nice glass of wine on your stunning patio this summer. Thank you to Chef Denis and his team for a great lunch!

We just had dinner delivered to us tonight. The entire meal was great. We were hesitant to get roast beef delivered by a restaurant 15to 20 minutes away. But they did a great job on the beef, cooked exactly as ordered. the salad, the potatoes and dessert were all good. Would highly recommend. And the deal they have with Illgoforit from Orangeville for delivery got the meal here within 5 minutes of our planned delivery time. Well done.

Had an opportunity to try out the Jericot Burger recently and it was fantastic! Loved the garlic aioli spread, the perfect amount of cheese and the fries were great as well! I would definitely recommend this burger to anyone looking to try something local and new!

We found The Vista while looking for takeout options close to us. So glad we tried it out! We all had the Jaricot burger w/ fries, house made ketchup (which was excellent), and a really great peppery slaw. One of the best burgers Ive had the pleasure of eating! We all had the kale caesar salad as well which was really nice - everyone enjoyed. Apple crumble desserts were good but the real stunner was the mocha almond ganache biscuit with mango compote - wow!! Service was really friendly, easy to pick up and felt like they were being very safe. We will absolutely be back in and hope to dine at the resort when things open back up. Nice to find something like this outside of the city.

My wife chose this restaurant for our 5th wedding anniversary, so glad she did. I had the short ribs (fantastic) and my wife had the strip loin. We both look forward to dining with them once the lock down is over. Bonus...today we received a call that The Vista was going to deliver burgers for businesses what a surprise. Nick from Vista delivered one of the most delicious burgers Ive ever had. Hats off to the chef roasted red pepper? Nice. Looking forward to our next meal from chef Dennis and the folks at The Vista.

Visiting Hockley Valley for the first time and stumbled upon this gem. Ordered Jaricot burgers for my wife and I, and it was absolutely a steal for the limited time price. Not only do you have custom options for how you like your burger cooked, but the amount of special toppings on it is astounding. Typical burgers with that amount of quality toppings can easily go for much more expensive if it was in the city. From what I remember - red peppers, caramelized onions, aioli, cheese, bacon, spring mix greens, pickles. Coleslaw was perfect, not too sour, not too creamy, and very well prepared. Called in the order, paid via cc on the phone, had a waiter with my order at the doorstep of the restaurant so felt completely physically distanced safe. Building looks gorgeous outside, both my wife and I agreed that we will definitely be back to Orangeville, just to have a date night here. Chef Denis, keep doing what youre doing. Bravo.

Over this past year, my family has made a consistent effort to eat takeout once a week as a means of supporting local businesses; We have not had a meal quite like the one made by you at The Vista. Personally, I ordered the black bean burger with some sides for my family to share: I chose the parmesan, potato and swiss chard pie, fried onions and wilted greens, and the vegetable chips. Soft on the inside with a clean crisp outer layer, the pie crust, fries and fried onions seamlessly impressed me. As for the wilted greens and vegetable chips, I work locally at a small organic farm, and understand the respect that a good vegetable deserves; I was truly impressed by the ability to wilt and crispen vegetables without having them lose their desired freshness. Regarding the black bean burger, I have tried plant-based burgers throughout Orangeville, Caledon, Mono, Mansfield and Collingwood, and this was undeniably the best (I found myself looking longingly over at my moms burger after finishing my own). I was pleasantly surprised by what followed the meal when I opened the compliments of the chef and was thankful to enjoy some biscotti, which had a well-balanced flavour and a satisfying crunch. All of this at a very reasonable and customer-friendly price. However great the food was, I must be honest about an unexpected surprise: I was elated to learn that all the packaging is compostable because, as a family that values both the environment and local business, it has often been a struggle to strike a balance in the waste bin. I would like to thank the chef, kitchen staff and whoever is responsible for the convenient takeout system and sustainable packaging. We will be sure to return and spread the word of this great local gem.

Amazing food! Ordered pickup and by the time we got to our house 10 mins away the food was still warm and great as everything was wrapped and sealed. I ordered the black bean burger which was fantastic and a very generous portion!! My boyfriend ordered the veal sandwich and was amazed at how much food he got and how good it was. Definitely a great choice and will be ordering from here again :)

If I could give The Vista more than five stars, I would! Tonight we ordered the Four Pound Beef/Striploin meal for 5, The Jaricot Burger and a side of Root Vegetable Chips. The meals came with an abundance of delicious sides including Caesar Salad, Vegetables, Garlic Bread, and Parmesean Potato Swiss Chard Pie, with brownies for dessert!

What an amazing new addition to Caledon. After the first 5 minutes of arriving at the property, my girlfriend and I decided immediately this is the place we want to get married.

We had a fabulous evening with friends at The Vista last evening, a new hidden gem in Caledon. The surroundings, view and ambience were all wonderful. The host Christopher and his team went over the top to make us feel welcomed. And then of course there is the food which was superb and cooked to perfection! We tried a variety of satays, the chicken supreme, the Walleye and lamb. It was all amazing! Thanks Christopher for such wonderful hospitality. We will definitely come back for more food and a tour!

this restaurant is a 2 dressed up as 5. if you are a foodie you will be dissappointed.Our server was green and was more interested in practicing his jokes than learning the menu and ensuring a great dining experience. . wine offering is extremely limited and you cannot bring your own wine. Our salad came out with our main course ! So much for an intimate anniversary dinner, which we had advised the restaurant and server of the occasion. No effort to make it special. We arrived at 6:30 pm and the lamb chops were sold out ??? I advised when booking that I was lactose as well when we arrived and we were brought a dessert with dairy. very disappointing experience

Poor service and food was not worth the money. Took a long time to bring out food, did not come out to check up on us, and waited long for a host to great us after going inside mistakenly to be seated. Mosquitoes after sunset were annoying. Person in front of us when paying was asked how the evening was and we were not asked, otherwise we would have voiced our disappointment in the experience. This place has potential to be great, but have a long long way to go.

We visited the Vista on a Sunday evening and it was a perfect getaway. The lush green location is a mesmerizing retreat from the bustling city life. The patio is perfect for summer evenings. It is designed to cater to the changing weather throughout the year. The Vista by Chef Denis Jaricot is a contemporary, fine-dining restaurant that specializes in traditional Canadian Cuisine with a French zing. Situated at the heart lake road, the drive to the Vista is scenic. Michelin Star trained Executive Chef Denis Jaricot is no less than a magician. We started the meal with Kale and Romaine Caesar Salad loaded with Prosciutto ham crisps and Parmesan Croutons, pairing it with Prosecco for a wonderful evening. Gazing at the treeline, we munched the refreshing, crunchy salad. I was tempted to opt for the Headwaters Satay. There were multiple options to pick from. I chose Wild Shrimp and Salmon :) The marination was distinct and the flavors oozed in every bite. Next up, the chicken supreme and the mimosa was a match made in paradise. Free range chicken supreme is nut-free, gluten-free and dairy-free. The dressing in forage mushrooms, cheese curds and mushroom cream sauce is delicious. A Capuchin Chocolate Ganache - Mocha Almond Biscuit with mango salsa followed. There couldnt be a better way to end the meal. The Vista is a popular destination for a delicious meal. If you are looking to add some flavor to your monotonous routine or searching for your next destination for a special occasion, I would recommend dinning in at the Vista. Kudos to Nipun and team for a wonderful time. Cant wait to experience the magical views at the Vista this fall. Youll love every bit of it the way we did. Cheers

We visited last night and were pretty disappointed with the food. Nice lobby and bar area, but the patio was just ok. The food looked nice on the plate, but was pretty bland. We ordered the pasta as a side and basically received a watery bowl of flavourless noodles. Very overpriced for what they are serving.

We visited this evening and were very impressed by the grounds and building. Unfortunately this was only highlight of the evening. The 5 of us ordered the mussels, chicken, fettuccine pasta and game burger along with several appetizers. All of which were best described as poorly cooked and tasteless. It is unfortunate that the venue lacks the culinary support to prolonged its existence.

Ive been to The Vista Restaurant twice- once was for take out when they first opened during covid, and 2nd time was a beautiful patio dining experience tonight! Both times I really enjoyed the food, and the food comes out piping hot! Chef Denis Jaricot and team are absolutely amazing :D About an hour drive from Toronto, The Vista at Mount Alverno Luxury Resort is located on 100 acres of privately owned land. It is the perfect spot for weddings, celebrations, and getaways! For Takeout: We ordered the signature Jaricot Burger with 8oz Canadian Angus Beef, and it was excellent! We also loved the side of Kale & Romaine Caesar, Root Veggie Chips, and Decadent Mac n Cheese (must order, even though it is on the kids menu lol) For Patio dining: I love that they have mocktails! The Sparkling Blood Orange was tasty! Id recommend ordering Wild Red Prawn Poutine to start... it was SO GOOD! The prawns were grilled to perfection, and the garlic fingerling potatoes were covered with delicious cheese curd and sauce! Entree, Id highly recommend the double Lamb Chops with the eggplant mash! I seriously cant wait to come back during the Fall season to see the magnificent view of fall foliage! Im so excited to see the new changes and updates, and hopefully get to stay for a getaway ^^ Rooms are currently not available due to covid. The property is still in development; they are working on a glass conservatory, individual chalets/cottages, hiking trails, and eventually a spa experience :D!

Simply Delicious Lobster Puff pastry! The light and flaky pastry covered a beautifully seasoned lobster in saffron.The aoili was a nice addition to an already heavenly meal, I almost didnt try it as the lobster pastry was the star and what a star! We are defintely ordering again and looking forward to dining in. The Director of Food and Beverage, Paula greeted us at the entrance and was kind enough to give us a tour of the property. 5 star plus!!! Luxury facilites, dining room, lounge and stunning rooms the best in the area. The Vista says it all... the view is amazing! Highly recommended.
