    We went for lunch. Again. We really enjoy lunching, here, ESPECIALLY the hamburgers (be sure to be specific about your preferred level of cooking - we are "extra rare types," and many restaurants don't understand that we really mean it - Peaks does, though they'll follow instructions from "extra well done" to "extra rare" - but be sure to mention it!). We only go for lunch, and the hamburgers are the best thing to order, in our opinion. VERY reasonably priced and served with fries. Be careful when ordering alcohol -- it can be pricey. But we want to come here, often, and watching costs is a key to that. The service is quite good, and we choose to be very generous tippers, here (well worth it!), because we know our check total is never very high. Don't cheat your server! We love it, here!

    It’s just breathtaking sitting in the restaurant with that view. They have a great menu with a variety of things. It was our 20th anniversary so it was a special occasion. We both ordered ribeye and they were both undercooked, in our opinion. We informed the staff and they totally took care of it. The new steaks were one of the best we ever had! I also had a salad prior to dinner and it was gigantic, but also delicious. They made us a special dessert for our anniversary, which was very nice. We will definitely go back again.

    Cannot beat the view. Not a bad seat in the place. Sofia did a great job and good recommendations. Management checked on us. We split an appetizer, meatloaf, and dessert. It was perfect. Need to leave time before your reservation to take the tram.

    We made reservations for 7:30 not know exactly how long it would take to get to top and want to view everything. We were ready to eat at 7. I went to hostess and asked if we could be seated early. She said yes but probably 5-10 min. There was a large group so that was fine but then she sat someone before us that didn’t even have reservations even though they said it was full and no walking. We asked twice more if our table was ready at 7:20 and 7:30. We did not get seated til 7:35. We would have been fine if she said no tables available early but to tell us yes and it would be 10 min and then we sat for 35 min was a bit annoying. Our food was delicious and our waitress was nice but was clearly busy in the back finishing up for the night. I would suggest not to get reservations for later in the evening. We didn’t know the restaurant stops seating at 8pm or we would have done earlier.

    Service was not exceptional, but no one goes for service. Food is ok. Go for the views.

    Food was overly priced and the quality was not worth it. Better off bringing food from home and then eating outside with the view.
