   Celebrating our wedding anniversary! The entire staff was professional, friendly accommodating and made us feel special. The dinners were perfectly prepared and presented as well as delicious. Our server “Tracy” was very attentive. We even received a gift card in honor of our anniversary to use upon our next visit! What class!!

    A crowded night. We had dined before but our friends had not. We had great food and a great experience. My wife had the flat iron steak and I had the pork chop. We shared a salad. Great service. Thanks.

    Waitress was rude. They brought main course while still eating salads. Of course when they brought the course out again, one of them was cold. Complained and 3 different people came over at different times asking what the problem was so there was no communication. Brought new plate of food which by that time my husband was finished with his. Tried to make it up to us by giving free dessert and not charging for one meal but by that time the dinner was ruined. Place is like a circus. Not somewhere to go for quiet evening out. Would not recommend!

    One thing that would have made the experience nicer would be if there was some type of music. It’s possible that there was some music but it was so low that you couldn’t really hear it the main thing you could hear was just people talking I always think it is nice when you’re at a restaurant and they have some sort of background music playing

    WARNING: Not the same corporate owners as it used to be (when owned by Duke’s)! Complete disappointment. I’m updating my review (still 2-stars) based upon a call from a lady who stated she’s the owner’s wife. Because she took the time to call, I’ve removed some of my comments. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt (maybe I caught them on a bad night). None of us liked our food. Period. They also no longer serve the beloved Hula Pie! They now have the "Cliffhouse" Ice Cream Pie which is NOT what you remember as Hula Pie if you’ve been here years ago. She told me it was part of the contract when buying the restaurant they could no longer serve the Hula Pie. I would have bumped up my review to a 3-star as a good gesture for her calling me (i.e., management showing concern for a dissatisfied customer is important and appreciated); however, she insulted me by stating during our conversation that my leaving them a poor review was how I get my “15 minutes of fame”. That was uncalled for and rude. My review is my honest opinion! I think the restaurant has an amazing location and the laurels of a great reputation (under the previous owners). I wish them good luck in their endeavors, but I’m never coming back. Why? Because everything but the service was mediocre to me and my family.

    I have been to Cliff House many, many times over the years and have never been disappointed. The sunset dinners are delicious and a wonderful value. The staff are extremely friendly. Service is excellent. Love going there for either dinner of happy hour.

    A real surprise - first visit to this spot - almost as if it were carved into the rocks it surrounds. Great views out the windows. Food was terrific - one of the best steaks I have had in the Valley. The service was very attentive. Prices are high , so this is a special occasion restaurant, but we’ll worth it if you are looking for a great meal in scenic spot? The only complaint was the room was very cold. It is hot outside, but this was like eating in a freezer. We ordered the corn soup to keep warm, also excellent, but a more moderate temperature inside would be appropriate.

    My wife and I brought our nine year-old son for an early Saturday evening dinner. We ordered from the sunset (discounted) menu, enjoying the brown sugar salmon with scrumptious salads. My wife also enjoyed the corn cilantro soup, which she really enjoyed. Our son ordered from the children's menu getting chicken fingers and fries. Every so often we return here for an enjoyable dining experience!

    I'm really puzzled by the amazing reviews of this restaurant. The staff, from the host the server and bussers were fantastic! The restaurants is beautiful. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were really terrible and even great service doesn't make up for that. The prickly pear margarita was the worst, most artificial-tasting cocktail I've ever had. Their special old-fashioned was no better. The bucatini was inedible. The lobster tails were tiny and overcooked. Like so many restaurants in the desert, you pay way too much for below mediocre food you wouldn't tolerate anywhere else. Even the ice cream pie and creme brulee weren't good. The creme brulee left this horirble aftertaste and coating in my mouth I couldn't get rid of. I'm not sure I've ever left a bite of dessert on my plate in my life before, but we barely touched the dessert here. Very disappointed. Do not recommend and would not return. Maybe this used to be a great place, but literally everything we ordered from drinks to appetizers to entrees to dessert was awful. Terrible.

    Did not prefer the Ceasar salad- too heavy on the anchovy taste. And don’t want to see a whole anchovy on my plate. Fried zucchini is amazing as is the braised short rib. Server was great. But did not enjoy sitting so close to other diners that I could hear their conversation which was an argument and thus that kind of made me anxious.

    Food & service was amazing but the fact that there was no AC in 110+ weather, and the need to sit people super close to each other, left me unimpressed. If no AC, they should notify via email, text or phone call, let alone, they shouldn’t sit everyone right next to each other - no privacy!

    As always the food at the cliffhouse was outstanding. And our server was totally wonderful. It was actually a dinner with our brother-in-law who we hadn’t seen in a while so the waiter allowed us plenty of time to enjoy a cocktail and did not rush us to order. Once we finally decided what I wanted but they came up probably I was just delicious.

    We were seated inside due to too warm for outside which I prefer. Loved the ambiance, so comfortable. The food was wonderful. Our table ordered short ribs, lobster, salmon and a fabulous miso clam chowder. Excellent service.
