    The restaurant is beautiful. Had an amazing appetizer (crab dip) and house salad. It is what saved the experience for us. But the $55 lobster pasta was sub par. The pasta was mushy, there was not a lot of flavor. The NY strip steak was gristly and neither entree was salted/seasoned enough. The sides with the steak were not hot. For the prices, I was really expecting more.

    Since this place was purchased the food is gross and expensive. The menu is very restrictive. I asked if I could substitute a side and was told there would be a $5 up charge. I paid it for the garlic pasta. It had absolutely no garlic taste and was so overcooked. The Brussels sprouts were cooked a week ago. Tasted old and soggy. The pork chop I ordered well done it came so hard, I could hardly cut it. They brought some “garlic bread” to start. I took one bite and left the rest. It was a little roll with no garlic flavor at all. El Conquistador has the same menu. Good luck. I would find another place to eat. The Grove restaurant on the property has also gone down hill. Eat somewhere else. …….

    The bar and bartender, Ellaina, were fantastic. The ambiance was nice. The food was a big disappointment My wife's vegetables were drenched in oil and served in a puddle of oil. Very poor presentation. Fish was barely average. My steak, ordered rare, was at best medium. When replaced the presentation was different with items missing. The asparagus was as hard as a rock. This was not an experience that we would repeat.

    Great views, excellent service and food. Best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. Filet and sides were delicious. Ordered the Quilt cab, outstanding. Grand Marnier crème broulet was a wonderful ending.

    Had not been to Mission Inn for a dozen years or so. Wondered if it would be as good as it once was. Not disappointed at all. The steaks were perfectly prepared and the lava cake over the top. Lisa made sure that the evening was complete with outstanding service.

    The Sea Bass and the Halibut were both great. The ambience great. A wedding party slowed the attentive service somewhat, but all in all a very good experience.
