    Great early dinner at La Quinta Cliff House! It’s a beautiful location and the service was impeccable. They offer a 2 course sunset dinner from 3:30-5pm for only $27. We started with the Medjool dates for appetizer and their complementary sourdough bread. Both were delicious. Then my husband and I both had a mixed green salad for our first course. The salad is served on a chilled plate (always appreciate that) with blue cheese, pecans, and cranberries. Then for the second course I had salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans. My hubby had chef’s cut steak with frites. Both entrees were very good. We finished with the crème brûlée with fresh berries. It was one of the best I’ve ever had. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be visiting again next time we are in the area. Thank you for a lovely meal!

    Another wonderful meal at Adobe Grill. Only comment is that there is too much food. I can barely eat half of what I am served. Good for leftovers, but it would be nice to be able to get smaller portions. Food was wonderful and so was the service. It is a beautiful place.
