    Almost so wonderful, food was amazing as well as wait staff. Not so friendly were the hostesses. First people you encounter and both were opposite of warm or inviting. Neither would address you or look you in the eye to greet you warmly. We have met the owner and she was warm, interested and vibrant so we know it’s not any attitude from top down.

    We dined for our Anniversary dinner and traveled in from Phoenix for the weekend. This is an adorable gem built into the cliffs in La Quinta. Drinks were on point and the Grass Fed Ribeye and Smashburger were amazing! We started with a delicious wedge salad with home made blue cheese. We did not have dessert but they looked AMAZING!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We had not been to dinner at the Cluffhouse for over a year, and it was excellent. Service was great. The food was outstanding. Cliffhouse did not disappoint.

    In town to celebrate our son's birthday. Great food, excellent service, good cocktails and of course, good conversation. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We look forward to trying the Happy Hour next time we are in town. ps: Kudos to the Chef as both men said the Steak Frites was best ever! Cooked perfectly!

    We had a great date night dinner. I had the scallops and my husband had the short ribs. Both were delicious. The restaurant has a nice vibe and a nice view of the mountains. Our server, Michael was great and very helpful with the menu. We'd definitely go again.

    Dining at the Cliffhouse in La Quinta is always a treat. The food is delicious, and the service is attentive. It's my favorite restaurant in the Coachella Valley.
