   Cielo was amazing! Made a reservation and confirmed that we requested a table outside, but just an fyi, it is just a recommendation, so we had to wait for about 10 mins for people to leave so we could sit outside (WHICH WAS WORTH THE WAIT). The view was absolutely spectacular and the weather at 7pm was perfect. Once the sun went down, it was just barely a bit chillier but still beautiful (I run cold so just should’ve brought a jacket, but my fiancé felt perfect). The service was quick and wonderful- our server (name is slipping my mind) was happy to take pictures of us and even took us to a spot with a beautiful view away from our table!! So thoughtful. She was lovely. Our dinner was hot and delicious and we just enjoyed ourselves so much. For an appetizer, we got the salmon crudo crostini, which actually was on a wonton rather than a crostini but just delicious & fresh-tasting! I got the steak & frites and my fiancé got the sea bass and we both very much enjoyed them (steak was cooked perfectly). Just one thing is that the pool music was playing in competition with the restaurant music so I could hear both from where we were sitting, but for the service, ambiance, and VIEWS, i would 100% give this place 5 stars. Totally recommend for a dreamy, romantic dinner.

   You’re paying for the amazing views here. The food is meh at best. Service can be slow, though well meaning. Braised short ribs overdone. Salads ok but uninspiring. Wine list ok but limited. But those views….

   We were seated by someone who immediately rushed us to order. She then forgot about our drinks and I had to ask another server. We each ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. The food was served cold and needed to be sent back. And to cap it off my wife cut her arm on a rough edge on the table. We got a bandaid, no visit by the host. Then we got the check, full price notwithstanding the service and my wife’s injury! This restaurant has been a real roller coaster over the years, this was the bottom.

   Was expecting more from the food. Felt it was over priced and very bland.

   My family of 4 sat on the patio at sunset and the view and atmosphere was amazing. It was quiet and the server was friendly. My husband and I had the shrimp and grits, shrimp cocktail, and the salmon pokey. He loved the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were more like prawns and a generous portion. The salmon was fresh and delicious. My sister ordered the horseradish mashed potatoes. When they arrived, a crust had formed over the top from sitting under the kitchen warmer too long and they were barely warm. She handed the full bowl back to the server and she told him she wasn’t happy with them and explained why. We thought they would come off the bill, but they did not and we didn’t say anything, just paid it. Also 2 of us received our food and it was almost 10 minutes before the other 2 received their food, which seemed a little long. Overall, I would recommend Cielo. Other than the mashed potatoes and the lag in food delivery, everything was absolutely delicious.
