    Sunset
    Diana M.

    It definitely has a beautiful view, and the service was fine. I had the fish and chips which were just a little on the greasy side for me. I had a great glass of Merlot, but the other selections I probably would not have ordered. I sat at the bar that viewed the ocean, but I had to go get a menu from the front desk.

    Braised short ribs and osso bucco
    Jennifer H.

    After looking at the menu online, hubby and I decided to come to this restaurant for our vacation dinner out. It did not disappoint. The location is lovely with all glass walls in the dining area so you have a view whereever you sit. We, lucky enough, sat right next to the window with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Our waiter greeted us quickly with a drink menu. We both ordered wine. They also had beer and cocktails. I ordered the osso bucco with a bowl of clam chowder and hubby ordered the braised short ribs with claim chowder. My osso bucco was delicious with a gorgeous presentation. The meat was fall off the bone tender, the polenta was creamy and the roasted carrots were sweet and tender. Hubby's braised short rib was extremely tender with a to die for blue cheese butter on top. It also had whipped potatoes and sweet carrots. The clam chowder was probably one of the best I've ever had, creamy, big chunks of clam that weren't fishy or sandy. We also ordered one dessert to go; tiramisu. It was so good, I wish we had ordered two pieces! Wait staff was fantastic, attentive and very friendly. Prices were reasonable for what you get and the ambiance. A++

    Ribeye

    There are a limited amount of nice, elegant restaurants to book for a large party in the Gualala area. Vue Kitchen was a last resort after other places charged too much with a bunch of different fees. Even though it was not our first choice, I'm glad that Vue Kitchen gave us a memorable dining experience. Booked the place for 10+ people and they gave us a private dining room with an amazing server. The view of the sunset over the ocean was phenomenal. The food, of course, was very delicious. The ribeye steak was juicy and tender. The flatbread was probably our group's favorite for appetizer. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience in Gualala, I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon

    Happy hour at the bar with the best views! Grabbed a seat at the bar just in time for sunset on a Friday night. Ordered cocktails and calamari to start, followed by crab cakes and a cheeseburger with a glass of their Cabernet Sauvignon (from Kenwood in Anderson Valley). The calamari and (strong!) house cocktails were where it was at! The fry was light but crisp and their smokey aioli complimented the appetizer perfectly. The cheeseburger was a bit thin for my preference, but was generously layered with crisp bacon. It paired well with the Cabernet Sauvignon. Our bartender extroirdinaire, Jared, kept libations flowing! Would definitely recommend and repeat the experience.

    Dinner Special: Halibut
    Raylene T.

    Best experience yet with this place. We went to dinner kind of late, 30 minutes until close and we received the best service this time around. We tried different dishes and we were not disappointed at all. I tasted the halibut and it was flavorful and perfectly flaky. Well done because halibut is known to be fishy and that wasn't the case this time. Then I had mine the chicken dish. The chicken was very tiny which was a disappointment because it was so good but just to small. The rice and cabbage was perfectly cooked but the green beans just lacked serious flavor and I just couldn't eat those so I left those behind. The flatbread was so delicious and would have been better paired with a balsamic glaze to drizzle on top but still good none the less. We love coming here when we are visiting family and this is our date night spot. Look forward to my next visit

    Portabella Mushroom Fries With Pesto dip. Absolutely incredible!
    Jennifer M.

    Incredible! Our server was Kelly, he is absolutely fantastic! Ordered some finish and chips and asked if there was cocktail sauce, he said not yet but I can whip some up for you! It was the best cocktail sauce we had. He also recommended the portabella mushroom fries... OH my gawd! They were amazing! It came with a paprika aioli dipping sauce, but the chef said to try the pesto dip. Pesto won!! Exactly dinning experience, amazing staff!! Will be back for the chowder!

    a glass of beer and a martini on a table
    May M.

    Really enjoyed our dining experience at Vue Coastal Kitchen. My husband and I came in for an early dinner to avoid the dinner rush, I'm so glad we did as this cozy restaurant tends to get packed. We were immediately seated in the dining room; which has sweeping views of Gualala River and the Pacific. Service was phenomenal, our server was friendly and engaging. We ended up ordering the Fried Calamari, the VUE Clam Chowder, the Flatiorn steak and the VUE cheeseburger. Everything was fresh and delicious, the calamari was outstanding. The Vue Kitchen is a part of the Hotel Breakers which offers ocean front lodging. We rent a house in the Sea Ranch with our family every year, but if it were just the two of us I would definitely want to stay at Hotel Breakers, especially since the Vue is right next door. If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend this lovely coastal restaurant!

    Visited for dinner on Thursday with a group of 10. They were able to accommodate the same day reservation and we had a fantastic server (Kelley). He was attentive, kind to the whole group, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The view, as the name suggests, is the focal point of the visit. We were lucky enough to see a gorgeous sunset. The food was fantastic. They had a special filet mignon that several people got and they raved about how good it was. The beef was locally sourced and fresh. I had a martini that was very good. I split the ahi tuna special and the branzino with my friend and both were fabulous. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you're in town and I'll be back for sure.

    This is a lovely restaurant with beautiful ocean views, excellent cuisine and warm service. We were celebrating a birthday and tried many dishes: the short ribs, osso bucco and the halibut special and everything was delicious. My parents had the clam chowder and said it was the best! Highly recommend dining here when visiting the coast.

    Mojito and vespar martini
    Jennifer N.

    We were able to get seated right away on a saturday evening during a holiday weekend. And we had great views so can't complain. The food was good! The drinks could've been a bit stronger, but it was fine. I highly recommend getting the seafood pasta, so creamy and delicate!

    Short ribs
    Naomi M.

    We had such a disappointing birthday dinner here. From start to finish the service was terrible. We ordered martinis and the young lady brought herbal tea ( about 15 min ) this took while she was making hot water our food was being made. Our apps and dinner came before our drinks arrived. Huge pet peeve there but hey maybe dinner will make up for it. When I got the short ribs I could not beleive they did t trim the fat. My guys pasta sauce broke so instead of Alfredo we had the most expensive buttered noodle. When we mentioned how upset we were with the food the girl just said oh yeah the sauce broke and dropped our check. Terrible experience, over priced and wish we had a male server bc they seemed to be taking care the table much more efficiently. Not only will we not return I'm doing a food review on my tik tok which had 500k followers. Had we had an apology or acknowledgement could have been different.

    Mojito - $14  and Martini - $15

    Catelli's is thirty minute drive from the house, so it's not a spot we frequent, but it sure is…read morewell worth it when we do. Our server this evening was a very pleasant woman named Tiffany, and it's more than obvious why she's been here for fourteen years. She had me at "hello." She knows the menu and she had recommendations. This kind of attentive service "everything." Then came the food. Garlic bread, beet salad, chicken parmesan, and steak medallions. All done as they should have been. We'll see ya again soon. Thank you for the experience.

    We were recommended this spot from the place we were staying at in the area. When we arrived it was…read morebusy because there was a lot of Prom Students out for dinner, the hostess was very kind and apologetic that as walk ins we were unable to be be seated but she did let us know that it was first come first serve at the bar. My party sat down at the bar and it did appear the majority of the people at the bar were also eating. The Bartender and At this point our server also was incredibly. She was so busy every single one of the bar seats was taken, and she did a fantastic job balancing all of it. Overall the food was an exceptional experience. For starters we got the truffle fries, and A Minestrone soup. The truffle fries were delicious, and had a bit if a kick to them so if you dont like spicy keep that in mind. The Soup was delicious and a great size for the small soup portion. I ordered the Lasagna with meat sauce and its light delicate layers were delicious, and perfectly balanced with the cheese. The server was helpful and informative and told my friend about the Mushroom cream sauce for her ravioli that if you love mushrooms you'll love it but if you don't then steer away. And we LOVE mushrooms and the ravioli paired perfectly with the heavy mushroom cream sauce. We also got the Steak and ordered it medium rare, when it came to us and it was closer to blue/rare the server/bartender didn't hesitate to apologize and in a flash take it back. The cooks remade it and it was perfectly medium rare with that nice browning on the outside and a small bit it pink in the center. We were very satisfied and it was such a lovely touch the manager did come out before the end of our meal to ensure we were satisfied and apologized for the discrepancy in the meal. The fact it was busy every single table full and the bar also being full and the manager still coming to ensure our satisfaction was what true hospitality is all about!! 100000% recommendations for this place and will be coming back!
