Cliff's Rendezvous Reviews
The barmaid is nasty to customers. Had an attitude like I was bothering her for $66 dollar steak. The odds of going back are slim.
Best darn porterhouse steak😋

Cliff's Rendezvous offers a casual, dive bar-like atmosphere, perfect for drinks and a bite to eat. The food is consistently excellent, with the steak's marinade receiving high praise from customers. The Pastrami Reuben is a must-try, and the marinated porterhouse steak and petite filet are also standout dishes. Many diners describe the steak as perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes are subtly seasoned and homemade, adding to the overall satisfaction of the meal.
The restaurant is a staple in Riverhead, operating since the 1970s, and serves mostly surf and turf options, including large lobster tails. Customers appreciate the service, noting that servers and bartenders often greet and address them by name, even when the restaurant is busy. While an appetizer may not always hit the mark, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, with many customers excited to return to try more of the menu. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, enhanced by classic wood paneling that gives a local homey feeling. Despite some reports of slow service during busy times, the overall enthusiasm for Cliff's Rendezvous remains strong, with many diners eager to revisit this beloved spot.
