The food is way overpriced. It feels they charge for the beautiful view. Too bad. The menu offerings were more ambitious on previous visits. This time I wasn't impressed by the food. We ordered the 16oz prime rib, lots of nerves that I had to cut out.

The road was about windy leading to the restaurant but the food ambiance and the view were worth the drive..Had a memorable experience..

The Steak had little to no seasoning. Actually most of the other dish's had little seasoning. The Price was way to high. I usually dine at Ruth Chris but wanted to try a new steak house. I think Ill stick with Ruth.

The food was very sad. You can probably make the food better at home. Not worth for the price. View is the only thing good about it.

It's an amazing date night! A hidden gem that takes you well into the hills. The waiter was great; very attentive. We ordered calamari, a Caesar salad, a pasta dish and steak. I love a nice steak! However, the bone-n-ribeye tasted great but the size and price point had me a bit confused. It was a a very thin cut of meat that was pre-sliced not what I expected coming from a nice steakhouse. Next time I would order the 16 oz NY Strip though not my favorite but I would know what I'm getting, as the ribeye didn't have a size listed only the price. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for you and your special someone, as the view is awesome.

Food and ambience was great, the service was good too. The only thing that kept bothering me was that our photo was taken with the city view behind us and the same was done for another couple on another table. When we were walking up the ramp to leave we saw that the person who took the pic came down to give the other couple a framed photo. The person did see us, passed by us and smiled, but didn't say anything about the pic. It was not a great ending for otherwise great evening (specially since it was my partners birthday).

The filet didn't taste fresh and seemed pre-prepared. It was served within about 12 minutes of ordering, as was the shrimp and chicken pasta, which makes me doubt that either dish was made to order.

The view, service, staff and food were amazing. They use farm fresh ingredients from their own farms and it tasted amazing. We spent a little more money on the 5-course meal, and it was worth it. We took our time enjoying the food and the view. There was also great music, with a live singer.

It had been 35 years since I have been back to Grandview... My friend was turning 50yrs old, so I wanted a special place for her to have dinner.... Grandview was awesome as I remember.... Of course the view was incredible to watch the sunset & the city lights!... The Service was top notch!... the food was very good too!.... All the recommendations from our waiter were spot on!... I will go back again sooner than 35 years!....

The quality of experience had severely declined from a year or two ago. Not worth the drive up the mountain or the over-priced $100 mediocre steak. The quality of food has declined significantly and there’s never any innovation in the kitchen or seasonal specials despite claims that they source most things from a farm across the road. Ok, they had an $80 lobster pasta special in October - seasonal? Innovative? Farm to table? Delicious? No. They are also in major need of a renovation as the place is starting to look very run-down and shabby and they just throw some cheap and ugly Home Depot carpets/runners over the overly aged, original green carpets to cover it up. Seating in a $5 wobbly bistro chair for almost 2 hours wasn’t especially comfortable. We were told it wasn’t safe to go down and explore the downstairs terrace and views as it was a safety hazard. Used to be such a special place. Don’t mind at all paying $500 for a special dinner, but not at this place.

Food was okay. The steak was not their best. Not a lot of food selection. The view was top-notch. Overpriced menus.

We did the 4 course meal which was good. Worth a visit to check it out and enjoy an evening on the ridge. Great service from our waiter. One of the best ceasar salads I've had, steak was good, and the ravioli was okay. The drinks were solid.

The ambiance was great, but the Pollo Margiana was not quite what I was hoping for. It's supposed to be a Panko bread crusted chicken with motz on top. What I got was a wet bread sauce on chicken with a good marinara on top of that. So overall good time but the food I was expecting better. The drinks were great, and the view speaks for itself.
