“Beautiful, spacious modern decor. Impressed by the esthetic from the moment of entering. Food was excellent. Got the baby beet salad. Very good, but I think the beets (fewer perhaps) should’ve been chopped into smaller pieces with more strawberries and greenery. Very filling. I had the roasted eggplant for my entree. Wonderfully seasoned, served over a bed of white rice. I would definitely get it again. My desert choice was the blueberry cheesecake. Scrumptious! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Nice outdoor patio area as well. Thumbs up!“

“My daughter suggested we go to breakfast at Scenic View since she really liked it when she visited previously. I was not disappointed! I knew the weather was going to be nice and they have limited seating, so I made reservations the evening before. I made them for an inside table, but we were able to change it to outside when we talked to the hostess. I didn’t want to take the risk of reserving an outside table in case the weather turned. We ended up getting a table with a really good view. The classic eggs Benedict was delicious. I will definitely be going back there!“
