The Steak Nachos are absolutely amazing. Great staff and dirty dishes were taken within minutes, so your table isn't cluttered. Great environment overall

Maybe because it was the middle of the week or off season but our burgers were good but not the same quality meat we are used to at The Summit. The service and the scenery were still top notch!

We enjoyed the view and service. We ordered pizza, but there was too much cheese for our taste. The Margarita pizza was more cheese than anything else. It really needed a lighter touch. They have a nice selection of draft beer from local breweries.
