    We have always wanted to try the Cliff House since it has the best view in Folsom. Unfortunately, we had read very mixed reviews on FB. We decided to give it a try and we’re so pleasantly surprised. The view was gorgeous, the food excellent and service was quick. I would definitely go back.

    The food was good, it was reasonably priced, we dined over looking the river, if it was a little cooler we would have sat on the outside deck. Our server was great, it was a very nice 34 anniversary dinner with my wife. That was our first visit and we'll definitely go back.

    Love the view her! Food is good, but I would say the calamari is not worth the price. You get very, very small rings and the batter just falls off of it. Other than that, all the food we had, mostly apps. was good. Just a bit frustrating that we had a group of 5 people, and you can't sit by the windows if you have more than 4 people. I picked this restaurant for the view, so disappointing. Something about the Fire Department rule. It's weird because there were only 2 other groups of people there and I'm not seeing how 5 people at a table such an issue would be. Now, the waiter was absolutely fine with it, but said his manager possibly would say something, and he was right! She or he, never came over and spoke to us, sent the poor waiter over to move us instead. I just think it would have been good customer service if the Manger would have come over and explained the issue. Anyway, lesson learned to not go to the Cliff House and expect a window seat if you have 5 people in your party!

    The woman’s bathroom needs renovating. In fact, the whole place needs a makeover. It’s old and boring. They obviously count on the view to bring in customers but it was dead on a Wednesday at 6:00. It’s going to go out of business if they don’t upgrade the interior. My silverware was dirty. Jack and Coke is $10 and the right strength. Menu is a combo of frozen fried foods (fish, shrimp, calamari and french fries), what could be prepared and heated food, plus some dishes that are probably made to order so it was not at the same level of excellence as most Open Table restaurants but we enjoyed the food and the view and the service was friendly.

    We sat inside this time. The ambience is nothing special. Patio is the selling point. But was too hot. Food was mediocre in taste. Dinner salad is not with $7.50. Very disappointed. Waitress spilled food/sauce over two of us. We had to clean it ourselves. But she brought napkins. Might try one more time but only if we sit on patio.

    The restaurant is a great little location but it feels a bit dated and run down. The food was fine, not amazing, staff were all super sweet and friendly they were the highlight. The view is awesome and honestly I would go back to just sit at the bar and not the restaurant.

    We visit the Cliff House every few weeks. We always have the salmon and split a salad because we love that meal, and because we are old (hence, split the salad). Even then we always bring food home. They have a consistent menu and the food is always good. I like it a lot except it is so dark inside and a little dated. But service is excellent and we are happy so we always return.

    This was a very pleasant experience. The food was very good and our wait staff were attentive, prompt and courteous. However, what really made this a fun dinner was sitting on the patio looking down at the American River. If you're in the area, you should try this restaurant!

    Well, the place looked run down and they were playing loud rock and roll music the entire time we were there and the table was sticky and there were stains on the fabric of the booth we were sitting in. And there's food on the floor next to us. The food was good but other than that, we won't be back...

    The host was not nice and perhaps racist. My wife and young little daughter took me there for father's day. I asked if we could get a table outside on the deck. Once we were given the table outside I asked if we could move to a different table, the host said no and that it was already taken. This was not true, the table was vacant for at least 20 minutes and I saw when new customers arrived and were given the table. I had also asked kindly for another table and I got the same answer. The host said it was already taken. It too was vacant for a good while. Once the host saw in my face that I was not happy with how we were being treated by him, he offered us a different table which we then moved to. We ordered food and waited approximately 30 minutes and it never came. On two occasions, the waitress said the food was backed up. We finally decided to leave. This was a very sad day for me since I had never experienced such racism like this before.

    Great Father’s Day’s Dinner! Food delicious, evenly priced, and great service. Beautiful view. We really don’t know why more people don’t go to this restaurant. It’s local, easy parking, ambiance plus for special occasions. You can hear conversation with your diners, Go there, people!

    Food was great - had the salmon. Lauren, our server, was attentive & had just the right touch of friendliness & interaction. What we both appreciated the most was the quietness of the restaurant, and of course the beautiful view of the river. A lot of restaurants today are so noisy, you can’t even have a conversation with the people that you’re with.

    We had a great lunch with friends overlooking the rushing river and bridge. I had the lettuce wraps with chicken and peanut sauce...delish. My friend had the coconut shrimp which she loved. My other friend just had the salad with apples and she loved that as well. We enjoyed the panoramic view....nothing like it in Folsom or nearby.

    Was told that the Chinese Chicken salad was good, so I was looking forward to enjoying it. Was quite disappointed. The chicken seemed to be unthawed just enough to be at room temperature. There were hardly any slivered almonds and those other crispy things on top. Also, barely enough salad dressing to taste. Very disappointed in the salad. The green beans did not have the strings removed. The string went down the throat and the lady had to grab hold of the string and pull it out of her throat. The string was nearly 4 inches long. The service was slack and could have been better, but the young lady was quite new and still learning. Do I dare try again? Not sure!

    The whole evening reservation was a boondoggle. I made a reservation in advance. I "requested" and outside table in the notes section of the Opentable website. I called Cliffhouse a day before the reservation just to confirm and ask about outside seating. I was advised inside seating and window tables were based on first come, first served basis and could not be reserved. No problem. If there is a wait for an outside table we'll just go to the bar area and chill with a cocktail. We checked in with the host and he walked us to a table, neither window nor outside, so we politely asked if we could wait for one to become available. In a huff, he turned around and took the menus back to his station as if we had offended him or whatever. So we went over the bar side and took a seat. We waited for a waiter/waitress. And waited. And waited... waited more. Waitstaff passing us buy going to a fro servicing the patio area. Not even a boo to us, or a "I'll be right with you" kind of thing. The original host walked buy and we asked him if the bar table get servers or if we needed to go to the bar and order to take back to the table. He was stumped. He had no clue. It was getting busier and noisier quickly. Very chaotic. Sill no acknowledgement from nary a busboy let alone a server. We tried to politely flag down a waitress but none even looked our way, and we were not out of the way in a corner, this was in the main flow of traffic. The staff in general went about their business, all but taking care of the table. Another couple sat at a table next to us, and we watched them go though the same frustrations trying to get at very least a cocktail menu. We figured if we tried to tough it out it would be an uphill battle, so we decided to leave. Off to Pete's at 6608 Folsom-Auburn Rd, Folsom, CA 95630 We were immediately met and greeted and escorted to an outside table without a reservation. Friendly waitress, awesome service and ambiance, good cocktails and good food.
