Dinner here was the highlight of our stay at the CliffHouse. Only complaint is that they did not warn us about the 7.50 up charge for the OJ in screwdriver drink… would have chosen something else.

My best friend from Newport RI, and I get together every year at The Cliff House to celebrate our joint Birthday! It’s been a tradition for us and one that I hope will continue for years to come. Every time we come is an amazing experience, the food is delicious, views amazing, wait staff is friendly and very helpful. Our waiter this year was Drew, he was amazing, we enjoyed him so much, he was efficient and very knowledgeable about the menu. He is definitely an asset to The Tiller restaurant!

Sat in a booth overlooking the waves below. Our wait staff were professional and knowledgeable of the food and drink selection. The pace of the dinner was very well done. The prices are a bit more compared to other local restaurants but the view alone is worth the premium.

We had a great table with amazing view of the cliff and water. The ambience is great. Service was fine The food was bad. Sausage was dry, roasted potato was tasteless. The signature lobster BLT was tasteless. Bread was toasted but stale. Bacon was cold and chewy. Go for the view. Not the food

We were blown away from start to finish. The entire resort was super clean and well designed. Incredible views of the ocean everywhere in the hotel. We went for a late brunch and the food was excellent. Cocktails were original and very well balanced. We live closer to Boston and typically visit the Beauport for this kind of experience. This restaurant absolutely is our new favorite Oceanside dining. Will definitely be back for dinner soon.

The views were stunning. Trying to book a reservation on your birthday, which happens to be Valentine's Day, is a real pain. All I could get was a 2 PM but I am happy I did because we got to enjoy some stellar views of the ocean! The food was so good I could have eaten everything a second time over. Oysters were so good I want to drive back next weekend to eat more. I had the tuna poke as a meal and I had a taste of the lobster chowder that my friend ordered and the base of that soup was so amazing I almost got my own. I had a very yummy cocktail as well. Because of some table neighbors who would not stop talking and were very oblivious, we sat at the bar for dessert. I had a vanilla bean crem brulee and a glass of cointreau while my friend enjoyed a beer. We had a nice conversation with the bartender while we sat. Speaking with him and enjoying ourselves there really picked up our mood before we left. The staff is wonderful, the views are amazing, the place itself is very clean and neat and stunning and the food is so good, you should make a reservation and see for yourself.
