Everything was terrific. The food came out at a perfect pace, we didn’t feel rushed and were able to enjoy our time together and the beautiful views. Everything tasted wonderful, we can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated our 25th anniversary! I was hoping to enjoy a complimentary dessert or maybe a special note to acknowledge this event. Just a suggestion for the next time!

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.

We enjoyed our visit, overall, but won’t be returning. The food was fine, staff pleasant, view amazing but the surcharge to split an order really chafed. And the hall of adding the 5% surcharge is just too much. So brusque and rude. Not at all hospitable.

Steaks were as tough as a boot low quality felt like select level filet mignon and ribeye really need to upgrade the level of states that you offer I would gladly of paid much more higher price for a great steak I ordered a ribeye and my wife ordered a fillet both were equally as tough send it all back did not want anything free but she did take care of us as far as service it was impeccable and we will come back again just won't be ordering any steaks all the other food was great

Absolute BS that you charge the customer an extra mandatory 5% surcharge to tip out management and executive chef. My server and the hostess were wonderful & I tipped them an extra $50 over the automatic gratuity. Because I was charged $25+ extra on an already very $$ bill to pay out even more to your salaried employees, I won't be coming back to the Cliff House again.
