    My wife & I eat here often; we like the ambience of the outdoor patio. We’ve been coming here for 4-5 yrs, and the quality of food & service has slipped a bit, especially this year. We still like it but, Cliff House needs to up their game for us to keep them in our rotation. There are too many other good restaurants.

    We had a great date night at La Quinta Cliffhouse. Although I have seen the restaurant for many many years, this was our first visit. The setting is beautiful. We started with some oysters and the local dates. We then had Chilean sea bass and a ribeye. We tried one of their signature cocktails. The food was good and the service was good. We had an enjoyable time.

    Started at the bar with some Cadillac Margaritas. Excellent. We had the steak and lobsters for our main course. Perfectly cooked. Drinks and service were on point. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. The waterfall and the rocks right next to us. Will definitely visit again

    My wife and another couple dined on 4/25/25 and had a very nice experience. Everything went well, three of us ordered the ribeye and were pleased with its flavor and tenderness, however here and there the steaks were too salty, all three of us commented on this. Other than this, a very pleasant night. Thank you.
