    We were celebrating our anniversary, and were very pleased with our overall experience. We have visited Saint George many, many times, but this was our first time at Cliffside. This is the best restaurant in St. George for a delicious meal with beautiful ambience. The service was impeccable !

    I would go for the view alone - overlooking the entire city of St. George, but the food is excellent as well. We had butternut squash soup, macadamia nut encrusted cod with citrus infused coconut rice, and little pillows of pasta filled with deliciousness. We will definitely be back. There is outdoor dining and it allows you to see the view even better.

    Seated immediately and very nice view. Salad was excellent but entree was brought out before we could finish our salads and then the waiter/servers wanted to take dish away before we were finished. My flat iron steak not very good.

    We don't venture to St. George that often. Wanted to try something scenic and this is certainly the place for that! The menu is pretty limited and there is only beer and wine which was a disappointment but not unheard of in Utah. The food was pretty good. All in all, you're paying for the view I think. I would go back to try the patio sitting. A little disappointing that we had a reservation and there was an open table near the window overlooking the view but we weren't offered that table.

    Unfortunately we originally made this reservation so that out of town guests could enjoy the view, but it was a horribly windy night and the view was obscured! However, the food and service were very good, and the menu was eclectic enough to meet everyone's tastes. I would recommend sitting at least one row back from the window if you want the view, as the hillside on which the restaurant sits is not very attractive to look at. We did enjoy our meal very much.

    For the second time they were out of the wine we wanted. The first time it was the house Pinot Grigio and this last time it was the house white Zinfandel. This is too good a restaurant for this to happen!

    Food was ok for the price. We visit many fine dining establishments. For most in southern UT, this will feel like fine dining. For someone well traveled, it will feel plain. The tables need to be wiped down as the meal progresses. I would recommend tablecloth and scraping tools. They did not box our leftovers for us, which at this price range and their attempt to feel 'upscale', seemed like a major miss. Waters ran dry a few times. Staff was nice although the cooks were a bit scrubby looking. We may return someday simply due to the lack of choices in St. George View is great! Noise is well controlled considering the open room. Not a romantic setting IMO.

    Lunch was soDelicious and presentation so lovely we decided to come back for dinner. Lunch server, Josh, was excellent and Sooo professional. Then at dinner, we loved our window table and Austin spoiled us as our server. Really yummy dinner and then the BEST Chocolate Molten cake I've ever had!! It also had really good vanilla ice cream beside it too. I am a snob about ice cream as I am partial to Blue Bell homemade vanilla, so theirs was awfully good!!

    We very much enjoyed our evening at Cliffside. The view and food were very good. We had the house salad with their honey vinaigrette. The salad was very tasty and suitable to open for the main course. We both had a ribeye steak special. The steaks were cooked correctly and delicious. The view of st George is also enjoyable. I like restaurants that are quiet enough to allow for a pleasant conversation. Now the amateur side. As the salad was served, we had to ask for bread. As our steaks were served, we had to ask for steak knives. Although the waiter was pleasant, it must have been his first week. When we arrived, we asked if a table was available at the window. The hostess left us standing among the tables for 10 minutes while she figured out they could not seat us at the window while people nearby wondered why we were standing there. I had previewed the on-line menu and was ready to order prime rib. I found out that the menu had been changed the day before and prime rib had been deleted. Ok, but disappointing. Nice evening and place if you have patience

    My review for Cliffside is top of the line. My review of Open Table is not so great. After using Open Table to make my reservation, we found that the table assigned to us was outside on the patio? This is February, and even though St. George is having a very mild winter, we did not want or plan to eat outside for our special Valentine's Day dinner. After finding out that this had been done without our consent, we were given the best remaining inside table at a much later time than we had planned originally. The manager was profoundly sorry for the misinformation from Open Table and gave us a perfect window table for our late night meal. The meal was prix fix and was excellent. We were not surprised by the food, service or view as we had eaten there before. The chef outdid himself for this holiday meal.

    The one reason to go to this restaurant is for the view. The food was good, but expensive for the quality. Nothing unique that would warrant prices that high. Good service, to the extent that we were done in just over an hour. Don't let them seat you in the side room; you still have the view, but it is drafty and not nearly as nice as the main dining area. I might rate it higher if we had been in the main area.

    Food was really good the service was great however I think the ambience could be improved with more ways to buffer the sound in the room. Also tablecloth's would be a nice touch and some mood lighting of some sort maybe some nice piano music soft sounds to make more romantic. That will go along with the beautiful scene of St. George below.

    This is my favorite restaurant and I bring all my friends and guest to Cliffside. The food is excellent and the staff are very people oriented. The view tops off the experience but if it weren't for the good food and staff the view wouldn't matter. I also like that it isn't child friendly. There are plenty of places in St. George where people can take their children. So it is nice to have a more ADULT atmosphere.

    My two sisters & I came back to St. George after a day, outdoors & driving in the car, visiting Bryce Canyon Nat. Park. Cleaned up, had some wine then to Cliffside for dinner. They had a pork chop special that one of my sisters & I split, salads, and a bottle of wine. The special dinner was one of the finest tasting meals that I have ever had. Dorothy, owner, was charming & gracious...she took us to see one of the rooms in the adjacent motel, Inn on the Cliff, that she and her husband own. Both motel & restaurant were tastefully contemporary, clean, and neat as a pin. Great dinner conclusion to a wonderful full day. I would guess that Cliffside is the best or one of the very best restaurants in St. George. They have only been open a few months, prices were reasonable. Try it if you are in St. George for the evening.

    In St. George, Utah, this restaurant is probably one of the best prepared plates available. And the view from the dining room would be difficult to beat. Sadly, the only negative I have is that I was told by the front staff that we were being seated late because we had used Open Table. They let my guests know that had I called in, I would have been seated on time.

    The food and service is terrific and the care the owners put into making their customers enjoy the experience is wonderful. But given the view of St. George, the quality of food and service still the noise level is just to much to enjoy the entire experience. Hopefully they can fix this issue and become one of St. George's finer restaurants....

    I think and hope the restaurant is just going through growing pains. Recently reopened, situated in the most fantastic location in all of St George, up top the bluff, overlooking entire valley, doesn't get better than this! The wine cellar needs replenished and the food was just ok. By 6:15 they had run out of the dinner specials. Love the location so we wish them success as they continue serving St George.
