We used to enjoy the Cliff house several times per month but then your food went downhill. This was before the COVID set-in. We just revisited last week and are happy to report that your cooking is back to what it was before COVID-19. We will now be visiting you regularly. Happy customers, Bill and Rose

Ashley our server was wonderful! Can't say enough about her. The food was great at the restaurant. However, my wife had some pretty serious digestive issues through the night and we had nothing else after the dinner. I didn't look at the menu and pricing before I booked and that's on me. As good as everything was, it was an extraordinarily expensive meal. As much as we enjoyed our service, with the issues my wife dealt with after, and the cost for your items, we will not be back.

The Cliffhouse has methodically reinvented itself as one of the premiere dining destinations in the entire South Sound. Everything about our visit, which was to celebrate our anniversary, was exceptional. The staff was professional and welcoming and attentive throughout the duration of our visit. The food was Heavenly. One of the better steaks I've had in recent memory. And the ambiance and atmosphere is lively but intimate. We had an absolutely enjoyable experience.

This was our second visit to the Cliff House restaurant. Both occasions were very special (birthday/anniversary & prewedding dinner for daughter) and they did not disappoint in making it a memorable occasion. The view is spectacular and the service was excellent. The portion sizes could be a bit bigger for the price, but I could afford to lose a few pounds! lol From the drinks to the dessert we all enjoyed our special evening celebrating the night before our daughter's wedding and getting to know our future son-in-law. We look forward to celebrating there again soon!

Everything was perfection. It was our 50th anniversary and, without request, they made a very special artistic dessert to commemorate our occasion! Only grumble is I don't like to see a separate service charge. Somehow that really bothers me. I would much prefer that the service charge be factored into the food prices -- just raise the prices a little bit. Otherwise, great experience!

Been going to the Cliff House for probably 35 years. It is exceptional. Food and service always excellent and of course the view, breathtaking. It is a bit overpriced but I do keep coming back for special occasions.

Service was great. Entrees were good. Scallops (total of 4 small) were under-cooked. This was the only down-side to our meal...especially considering the $25.00 price. My wife very much enjoyed the cheesecake. Thank you.

Beautiful view, very friendly servers and amazing steak and lobster. The only reason it’s not a 10 is the service was a tad slow and pasta was cooked a little uneven. Otherwise perfect date night

A little pricy, but I get it being rather isolated. Food was excellent, would expect wait staff to box leftovers, rather than just here’s your box. Holiday music was a bit distracting due to the volume.

We sat downstairs at a table by the window and it was so hot it was hard to enjoy our meal. We assume this was because it was so sunny, but you have to find a way to cool down that area!

The view, the ambiance, the cleanliness, the flavor of the food, all that was absolutely fantastic! Interesting history too. It's pricey, but a great place to go on a date or out for a special occasion! Only 2 small complaints: You can feel the cold breeze off the single pane windows, that could use an upgrade. There's a lot of construction in downtown Tacoma so make sure you leave with ample travel time because the hostess punished us for being 10 minutes late by making his way an extra 10 minutes even though our table was ready, and I called ahead to let them know we'd be a little late. Still would highly recommend!

Excellent friendly service! Wonderful ambience, stunning view. Three of our 4 meals were a definite 10! Unfortunately the 4th meal, rib eye steak, was tough , gristly, and rubbery. Pricey place, great for special occasions.

We had an absolutely fabulous time however, there were a couple of issues one being that we probably were there 30 minutes too long whether it was due to the fact that you were understaffed or whatever, but we arrived at 5:15 with reservations at 5:30 and we didn’t get out of there till 730. There was probably 30 minutes of delayed wait time between getting our tab and desserts, etc. Also, my lobster was undercooked so I had to bring it home and cook it further to finish my meal. I had heard from another table that you guys ran out of baked potatoes, which is surprising on a Saturday. Thank goodness I was able to get mine. we love the clip house , I’m sure circumstances probably happened which caused the domino effect. It won’t stop us from coming back but it just was a little bit disappointing as my husband and I were there celebrating our wedding anniversary.

There was an odd sell to the place when we entered-almost left sewer gas but we got used to it and didn’t notice after a few minutes. Food was good but not great like I was expecting. Steak knives should be sharpened-my husband had trouble cutting his prime rib. Service was outstanding! Friendly and fast.

Very beautiful spot. However when you work on the port, you see it everyday. Lisa was amazing and the reason I would go back. It was a bit overpriced for the thanksgiving turkey dinners along with the added 20% which is fine if Lisa (server) gets most as advertised. May go back for the bar.

The Cliff House is a great restaurant for a date night. I love the views it has from where you set. The service was great. The only thing I would say needs to change is more food options- specifically sides and seafood.

Really great night with a large group. It would be perfect if the tables were arranged near the windows to maximize the view. After all, it was a Monday night and not busy.
