Situated in the heart of One&Only Cape Town, the untameable spirit of Vista ignites an exciting reaction.

Day-to-evening entertainment abounds and live music fills the air. From the kitchen, vibrant dishes showcase the flavours of the region, avant-garde Afternoon Tea is a cause for celebration, and masterfully crafted cocktails tempt the palate.

    The high tea was such an amazing experience. Thank you to the team for making it so special. Especially grateful to hostess Thobeka for receiving our feedback and ideas. Special mention for Waitress Zoe who was so kind. We enjoyed trying the festive menu and my favorite drink was the forest berry ice tea. The backthrough of the waterfront canal and the table mountain was so pleasing to the eye. The live piano really added to the experience. 10/10. Thank you!!!!!!

    Went for a high tea. The service was perfect. The composition of the high tea was a little disappointing. There were more salted petits fours which were not very tasty and not interesting. Sweets were good but quantity limited from my point of view. For a High Tea, we were expecting some more fine pastries or other Sweets

    The atmosphere was there, as there were plenty of Christmas teas decorating the area, and the pianist playing Christmas songs. Re the menu of the high tea, I don't think it was related to Christmas but was still quite good. I preferred the savoury part, even though I'm a sweet tooth. The mini desserts were not delicate enough to my taste. Scones and teas are bottomless. The raspberry jam coming with the scones was just WOOOOW ! You have to catch the attention of your waiter to get what you need,

    Spent my afternoon doing high tea with my in-laws who are from another country. Came across a hair in a dessert which soured the experience for us all and we stopped eating. What was worse was the way it was handled. Cursory push over by the chef and hostess who encouraged me to do a bad review. Complete arrogance and a pathetic apology was all we received for the 2k we wasted.

It was a pleasure speaking with you over the phone, and I am happy we could resolve the billing concern and confirm you were not charged for the afternoon. We truly appreciate your willingness to discuss the matter with us, and if you decide to visit us again please reach out to me directly so I can personally ensure you have an impeccable visit, as you deserve.
