Hi All, this is Andrea from la Vista. Just to bring some clarity to the restaurant situation. We brought a German Chef in since last year to help with the restaurant, as it was not doing well, and there were a lot of complaints. He was always supposed to stay for a year. It was decided last year in May that we were laying off all the restaurant staff. They were all notified, it was in mutual agreement, and they were all compensated according to the law. We decided to give it another go, and re-hired 2 staff members. The German chef informed us in January he would be leaving a bit earlier as scheduled.
Despite all this, and a re-adjustment period, things are going well. We have a new menu indeed, and we DO have a new wine list ! As most everybody knows, we at La Vista strive to make everyone's vacation a memorable one, and while hiccups or issues can always occur, we can usually fix them. We are ok with owners inviting friends, as long as it is not a huge group, as we have limited space. Our restaurant is open to the public in any case! Dmarty, it was nice seeing you guys again, I hope you enjoyed your stay, and until the next time!
