Cielo Restaurant is truly a gem in Southern California’s fine dining scene. Located at the top of Morongo Casino, it offers more than just breathtaking views — it delivers an unforgettable dining experience every single time. I’ve visited several times over the years, and not once have I been disappointed. Whether it’s the perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, delicious pasta, or flavorful sides, the food is consistently top-tier. On my most recent visit, I had the pork chop, and like everything else on the menu, it was absolutely amazing. The service at Cielo is in a league of its own. The staff work seamlessly as a team, making sure every guest feels valued and taken care of. I was served by Jared and Myles this time, and they were professional, attentive, and personable. I’ve also been fortunate to be served by Enrique on multiple occasions — and it always surprises me that he remembers me. As he said himself, he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows. He goes above and beyond to give guests a memorable experience. If you’re looking for an elegant, top-notch dining experience with exceptional service, Cielo should be at the top of your list. No one does it better

Our waitress was great. She made recommendations which we took up the offer. They are running a Summer Special for $33/person. It was delicious. There are 2 entrees to choose from so we ordered one of each. Salmon and Spaghetti w/ asparagus, heirloom tomatoes. For starters they served us Gazpacho, then the entree and a delicious dessert. Great value!!! The next morning we went for breakfast. They have the best eggs Benedict which I ordered. My husband had the 2 eggs, Apple sausage, hash browns and sour dough toast which he liked.
