    The waitress was clearly irritated when we told her we were only there for an appetizer and a drink. After that we only saw her another two times, once to take our order and another time to give us our bill. The view was amazing though.

    The view was of course great, and that’s pretty much what you are paying for. Food was overpriced and lacked quality and flavor; would have expected much more for the price. Service lacked; we had an unfriendly hostess, were only checked on once during our meal, and plates were not cleared in time. We could see others in another section getting better service. The restaurant wasn’t too noisy and seemed clean. But value for the food? No. The bill hurts when the food and service is subpar.

    Our waitress didn't return after taking our order until we done eating for quite awhile. We were missing a side dish and our steak was undercooked. They were out of both the appetizer and dinner i wanted to order

    Excellent meal exceeded expectations. We had Duck and rack of lamb and both enjoyed it. Excellent service and great view of cloud and snow showers! Shame it was not a beautiful evening but that is down to luck. Expensive but of course it is 7500 ft up a mountain!

    Nice place to have a dinner with a view. We ate at 7pm, it was getting dark. Recommend a 6pm or 6:30pm time to see the valley clearly from above and then night lights later. Food was inexpensively priced for the location, it wasn't fantastic, but it was very good. If you're going to take the tram, you might as well stay for dinner.

    View and ambience were relaxing. Food was okay, nothing to rave about. Wine prices were outrageous. Peaks is definitely charging steakhouse prices but the quality is not the same. Service was wonderful and very attentive.

    We were seated at the second level with a great view of the window overlooking the mountains. The main dishes were quite good and large in portion. For appetizers, we ordered spinach dip and caesar salad which were okay in quality. For the mains, we order the spaghetti with shrimp and pulled pork Mac and cheese which were both quite large in portion that we couldn't finish our meals. The quality was good, but the value was not. As far as the service, we found it very lacking. Our server was very friendly when he came to our table. We needed a fork since it was cleared away with the appetizers and we had to ask another server. We wanted a refill of our drinks and another server was there to refill it. Unfortunately, our server didn't visit your table until after we were clearly done. We noticed the other servers being very attentive and we did see our server visit the table beside ours several times. So we're unsure why we didn't receive the same attention. When he came over at the end, he was very pleasant and friendly and since we were done anyway, we just requested the bill. We would recommend for the wonderful view and seating. And if we return, we would likely order lighter items.

    Our server was incredible! All downhill from there. Burger sent back twice and rest of meals were very average and not worth the price paid. The other meals were bland and seemed like they came from the buffet area just outside the restaurant. Nothing special except the view which was amazing, and our server who was attentive, professional and incredible overall.

    All our food was cold. Had ordered a steak sandwich so have no idea when it was cooked if it was cold when it got to the table. Fries were greasy and cold. Very pricey. Mac and cheese with BBQ was like Kraft Mac hand cheese. Wouldn’t eat there.

    Amazing view! Had a great time with family. Love the history of design sitting in this beautiful restaurant. The waitstaff work extremely hard but have always been friendly and helpful. We have been there three times this month just to celebrate with visiting family members knowing they will have a unique and memorable experience.

    Steak came out wrong twice. Ordered medium, got well done the first time and then very rare the second. Brought it up to the server and she said ‘yeah, our chef gets complaints about his steak a lot’ … ended up eating it as we were starving and didnt want to wait for another, we had doubts it would come out right the third time too. The manager was great to deal with but the server became very short with us after we complained. We did still leave a tip as it was not her fault, but would highly recommend the chef gets better at cooking steaks. Will add - the pulled pork macaroni was fantastic and would highly recommend if going.

    The food was okay, we got the steak and frites and the steak along with the sauce it came with was extremely bland. There was no seasoning on it, we had to add salt to it. However, the soup of the day was very good and service was attentive. Not sure if we would dine here again, might just opt out next time we visit.

    We ordered the bruschetta, chicken wrap, pulled pork Mac and cheese and the cheesecake. The bruschetta was our third choice for the appetizer as they were out of both the flatbread and the spinach dip and my boyfriend actually wanted the steak sandwich but they were out of that as well. The bruschetta was good. The chicken wrap was just ok and kinda dry. They sent the Mac and cheese out without any meat and didn’t say anything to us about it. When we asked the server about it, they said they ran out of the pulled pork too but I don’t get why they just brought us the Mac and cheese instead of asking if we wanted something else. We asked for a burger instead and it was good but when we got the bill, they charged us for the pulled pork (which was more expensive) instead of the burger. The cheesecake was delicious. It was cool to eat with a view for a one time thing but the whole interaction left a bad taste in our mouths so we won’t be coming back.

    Two of us had lunch at Peak's restaurant on March 2nd. We were given a fantastic table on the 2nd level (better views than the first level) and our server, Gabriela, took great care of us. We ordered a Ceaser Salad and a Boursin Cheese Steak Sandwich both of which were good sized portions with fresh ingredients. Prices were equivalent to other restaurants in Palm Springs and given that everything has to go up & down the tram to get to the restaurant, they seemed quite reasonable. We had a fantastic lunch and hope to get a dinner reservation next year.

    The setting was incomparable - 8,500 feet above Palm Springs on a snow covered mountain watching the sun set. Our meal of charred shrimp appetizer, spaghetti putanesca and Caesar salad followed by coffee and crème brûlée with berries was delicious. The staff was warm and attentive. The only negatives were the $22 price tag for a pre-dinner cocktail and the small number of berries on the crème brûlée.

    We arrived on time, were seated promptly as it was not very busy and given menus, then waited 20 minutes for a someone to ask us anything. We had to ask the greeter if someone could wait on us. The person who came to the table just said “ I didn’t know you were in my area” in a surely way and took our drink orders. When she took our dinner order she didn’t go over any of the daily choice options. Didn’t know if those until she waited on another table nearby. The restaurant itself was nice and of course has an amazing view and the food was good but the sides on my plate were pretty cold when delivered.
