The Viewpoint balcony looking over the pool and valley was a great spot to have breakfast. I had the country fried chicken with gravy, hash browns, orange juice, and toast. Would recommend.

Great breakfast at VNK, with the beautiful hostess Jennifer and Brien serving. We had custom omelettes ($19) and a bottle of champagne ($25). Thanks to Blanca for food delivery! I have to say that this breakfast was as good as the best. Brien even recognized that Heather's toast was under prepared and he made the reorder to perfection. We will be back!

I recently dined at Viewpoint Neighborhood Kitchen, located in a casino, and here's my take on the experience. The food, while generally good, did come with a price tag that matched the casino's reputation for being a bit overpriced.Our meal started with a complimentary serving of small sourdough bread accompanied by butter. For appetizers, we ordered calamari, which, though tasty, had a bit more breading than actual squid. The citrus Caesar salad, with romaine lettuce wedges, Caesar dressing, citrus croutons, and cheese, didn't quite hit the mark for me. The salad felt somewhat lacking in terms of size and flavor.One standout appetizer was the chowder, featuring clams and salmon in every bite. The generous chunks of clams and salmon in this creamy chowder won me over, and it's something I'd order again.Moving on to the main entrees, we opted for the 12oz ribeye cooked medium rare, served with zesty chimichurri sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and broccolini. While the steak was delicious and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of fat, the mashed potatoes were in need of a little extra seasoning. The broccolini, on the other hand, was cooked to perfection, offering a delightful crunch.We also tried the impossible burger with truffle steak fries, a welcomed option for vegetarians. The impossible patty had a great flavor, and the cheese was delicious, while the fries were delightfully crispy.Lastly, we sampled the wild salmon, a seared dish with fennel pollen, grilled asparagus, an orange honey glaze, herb butter, and heirloom potatoes. This particular dish leaned on the sweeter side, which didn't quite align with my personal palate preference, but the person who ordered it thoroughly enjoyed the unique flavor combination.Overall, I'd rate my dining experience at Viewpoint Neighborhood Kitchen a 7 out of 10. The appetizers left something to be desired, and the price of the meal was on the higher side, but there were definite highlights, especially in the main entrees and the chowder. Different people have different palates, so it's worth considering individual taste preferences when dining at this restaurant.

During our stay at Sycuan we dropped in to Viewpoint a couple of times. Just the bar though, we did not venture into the dining room. I did check out the patio off the dining room and it looked like a great place to enjoy al fresco dining.We sat at the bar one Monday morning to grab a drink and throw some money into the machines imbedded in the bar top. Viewpoint was the only bar we could find open at an early hour. The bar was not crowded, besides us there was just one other patron, but the adjacent dining room and patio were bustling with breakfast diners.Ilene was our bartender. She was pleasant and sweet. She made a mimosa for Becky, a glass of champagne with a whisper of cranberry juice. :-) A Modelo for me because I'm not ashamed of a breakfast beer.We had plans for food later so we did not order anything, but the woman at the end of the bar was having the French toast and it looked fantastic.If you're at Sycuan, check out the view from Viewpoint.

Ever since my friend introduced me to this restaurant, my husband & I come here almost once a week. So far, I have not been disappointed with the service or food.Vegetarian options: Avocado toastParking: Shaded parking available
17AUG2023 @ 630PM.I come to Sycuan as my "Go To" casino in SD. I've never been disappointed to now. I love everything about this place EXCEPT this restaurant, VIEWPOINT. I highly recommend for NOBODY to come here.1) first things first, I asked if we needed a reservation and they said no so I complied and gathered my party and when we came back we were told it was a 15-30 minute wait and next time to make a reservation.2) we had arrived and a huge party of maybe 15-20+ walked by us and to big surprise they were served before us! That was complete bullshit, the server we had was nice but couldn't find it in me to even leave a tip because of that simple fact that, that party was served before us and there was no efficiency in regards to my party of threes order.3) as for the food, that took almost 45minutes to get to us; the ribeye I ordered was cooked to medium which led me to think "ew it's dry" when I had specifically asked for medium rare. The truffle fries was the highlight of my meal because they were actually really good, the fries alone get a 8.5 of 10. 4) as far as the ambiance, the inside was dimmer giving a Ruth Chris vibe but very relaxed and chill, we didn't even get asked if we wanted to sit outside so I can't speak on that part. Parking. It's a casino so there a parking structure on the other side of the casino, easier access if you're staying at the hotel and take the escalator down to the casino floor. Overall rating for Viewpoint: 3 of 10, I recommend bull&bourbon or the double down cafe before eating here. Me personally, will not eat here again and don't recommend to anyone!

First off, I gave 5 stars because Dominique was exceptional! She gave excellent service and went above and beyond to give make sure everything was perfect. I loved the aesthetics of the restaurant with such a beautiful view. The food was A+! It was one of the best country fried steaks i've had and i've had several before. My absolute favorite thing I had was the cornbread and the butter. I wish I could have had more to take home, but i'll be back for more later.

Opening time was 8AM on a Saturday morning, very nice setting with a lot of natural light coming in. The complimentary corn cake was very moist. My steak and eggs hit the spot, and was brought out quickly. A Coor's light draft beer too was very chill. Judging by other's pictures I will try eggs benedict and chicken fried steak on future visits. Very accomodating host. It would be nice if they opened earlier.

One of our most fav places to eat!! Food service and atmosphere are amazing. So nice to sit outside above the pool and the mountains!

The food is always amazing here. I love the cornbread , has to be my favorite thing on the menu. The service is always superb . Couldn't give it a 5 star because the last few times I ordered the steak medium and it has came out pretty well done as you see in the pictures . I'm not one to complain as I don't want to wait any longer to eat but this is the reason for the 4 stars not 5
