              The tram ride was amazing, but the restaurant was below expectations. Check totaled more than $200. This was for a filet mignon, which was excellent, a ribeye, which was tough as leather, and ravioli, which was drenched in sauce and seasoned poorly. Non-alcoholic beverages rounded out the tab. The drunk, demonstrative couple at the neighboring table further diminished our dining experience. If you choose Peaks, stick with the filet — it is the only thing we ordered that was worth its cost. Also, pray that surrounding diners aren’t loud and obnoxious.

              Peaks is definitely a novelty restaurant where you come for the tram ride and to see the view. We had the ribeye (one in medium and the other medium rare), ravioli with steak (medium), Mac and cheese, caesar salad with chicken, and spinach salad with shrimp. All the beef came out medium rare and under seasoned. The shrimp and chicken were perfectly cooked. Both salads were overdressed. Pro tip: ask for dressing on the side. The pasta is the best part of their menu. Old fashion was good, Negra margarita was on the sweet side.

              Beautiful trip to the peak was topped off by a fantastic meal! The appetizers (bruschetta and we split a wedge salad) were great. There were interesting and unique menu items. We all Loved what we ordered (ribeye, braised pork, filet mignon and pulled pork Mac and cheese). Our server, Jeff, was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for dessert.

              Menu items did not match the menu from the website leaving my date eating an appetizer for dinner. The appetizers were not great, the filet was exceptional. Go anyway, the view is amazing!

              Diego was an awesome server. Corn chowder was so salty I could only have a few bites. Nobody ever asked how it was and never questioned why only a few bites were taken, but whatever. I always enjoy dinner The Peaks.

              It was hot and stuffy. If they opened a door it would have made a big difference since it was uncomfortably hot.
