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

    Went in thinking this could easily be just a "tourist trap" themed restaurant, but food and service were genuinely outstanding. Special attention was given to the "birthday boy" in our party by manager Gary and waiter Nathan. They really made him feel special, and that kindness was sincerely appreciated. We will return and recommend to others.
    Peaks RestaurantResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Joe, Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience. I am so glad we could make the birthday celebration extra special. We take pride in providing excellent food and service, and your kind words mean a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon, and we truly appreciate your recommendations to others! Best wishes,

    The spectacular view really enhanced the entire experience of course. But the osso bucco was truly delicious. Just beware of expensive prices for cocktails.

    Food was terrible! mac and cheese with pulled pork had BBQ sauce squired on top of it from a bottle. Ceasar salad had odd taste to it . Very disappointing for $150 meal!! Not including the cost to get up there on the tram and park. Waste of money

    Food was terrible and probably microwaved. That didn't stop them from charging as if it was fine dining $50 averageper plate. Waitstaff was rude, but with an automatic tip of 20% added to the bill what's the point of being friendly? Save your money hit the pine Cafe!!!

    Got there a hour early so had a bottle of wine at the bar between the 4 of us. The bartender sat the glasses down then the bottle of wine. Since it was a screw top he said we could open it and pour it and walked away. Went to Peaks and was seated right away. Our waiter was Diego we asked for lemons for our water if they had it. He said he would bring us some never got some. Was disappointed thought the food would be special, but was the same served in the bar. One and done for the four of us.
