Just got back from our two weeks at La Vista. We were sad to find out that Girard, the French chef at the restaurant was fired about 8 months ago. A new chef, German and not sure of his name, walked off half-way into our vacation. The food is still quite good but there is a lot of flux. Menu is different, and IMHO no one does the reduction sauces as well as Girard. Miss him. BTW, the server we have always had problems with is no longer there either. That's a plus for me.
