    We ordered two well done steaks that were delivered medium and the manager was rude when we asked for them to be redone. Not worth the cost.

    Dinner was very nice. All entress were cooked perfectly. Not sure what felt "off" but the dining experience should have been stellar and for some reason it was less than that. Server was nice but not warm and engaging.

    The food and service at Cliffhouse has definitely deteriorated over the years. Our visit last night was sub par and we will not be returning. I ordered a medium rare filet and when our meals were delivered (45 minutes after we finished our appetizer) my steak was medium at best. The au gratin potatoes were hot but the potatoes were not cooked, it was inedible. Although we told the server the steak was not done correctly when it was served, he did not return to our table until we had another server flag him down. 2 1/2 hours after arriving we left with a full plate on the table. Luckily my husband’s food was fine and we could share!

    Service, food quality and setting were all exceptional. The Sunset Dinners are a value. We had a delightful time dining outdoors beneath the rock cliff.

    Very good food. We ate in the bar that was very noisy. There are patios and other tables where atmosphere would not be as noisy. Will definitely come back again.

    Asked for an outside table and received the only inside table with no views and the valet service was terrible and very rude.

    Wonderful ambiance sitting outside in the back area by the bar. Food and service both were excellent. Always a pleasant experience.
