Service held a lot to be desired. Brought out an order done wrong as well as forgetting all together another dish we ordered. She had even repeated it all back when we first ordered it. When we had her take the incorrect order back, her attitude sucked. Even if you're upset, keep your attitude to yourself. Dont be snarky when you walk off. Do it in the back room at least. Bad attitude for incorrect order redo. Not impressed. My mom and stepdad took me there since I'm visiting out of town. They said they will not be going back.

Food was okay. Steak is a little fatty. Not much variety.

For our 9 year wedding anniversary my husband and I had only a couple things we were looking for, for an intimate date night. Peace- if we can hear dishes clinking in the background from the kitchen, that's a big no for us no matter how good the food is or how well rated the place is. I don't want to have to yell over the noice to have a conversation. This place gave us just that. Peaceful, quiet, perfectly lit. Mostly because of the natural light coming in from all of the windows. It just felt nice the moment we walked in. Wait staff- the sweetest woman was our waitress, she didn't bother us too often, but also came around when we needed her. I even saw the table in front of me snapping their fingers at her and she was nothing but nice and respectful to them as well. She even acted as a photographer for a minute without any annoyed look on her face! We asked her to take a picture which we NEVER do because we know how annoying that would be for a waitress and told her that it's our anniversary and she was happy to do it for us. She had a free dessert with "happy anniversary" written on the plate brought out to us after we finished eating! And obviously the most Important part, the food- Absolutely delicious. Wow. I'm a big seafood lover so I got the captains platter- and when I say it was perfect, I mean it was perfect. My husband got the wagyu dip and at first we thought "oooo it's ground beef" when it came, but it absolutely did not TASTE like ground beef! It was juicy and delicious just like my meal. I had to have a taste! So I can honestly say I loved both meals. So this place checked all of OUR boxes but, it was even more impressive than what we had hoped for... The view was beautiful! The location was kind of off the map so it was nice and quiet with good parking, the prices were on the more pricey restaurant side but still absolutely fair for the quality, it actually felt like it was cheap for the quality and ambiance compared to most places if I'm being honest, I even met the chef while looking for the bathroom, and he was so nice and respectful! This place gave us an anniversary date we will never forget.

We've been going to the Cliff House off and on for abt 20 years. In 2015, one of my daughters had her high school graduation celebratory dinner there for ~20 people and the accommodation by CH was wonderful. The views are breathtaking and the location is GREAT! We often go there for happy hour nowadays. Sadly, they recently took our favorite happy hour menu item away - salmon sliders. We were terribly disappointed and likely won't go as often as we used to. Lastly, the restaurant could use some upgrades (even simple things like carpet and paint touchups). It's still a family favorite and I hope they consider and act on the feedback.

This place has gone downhill so badly, I’m wondering if they’re going to stay in business. Yes the view is great but they’ve hiked their prices to the moon, and the food has become bad diner food - bland with no substance. We stopped in for a light bite on our way home from the airport and I had a bowl of their daily soup, creamy Italian sausage. It was only flour, cream, a few scallions and a smattering of small pieces of Italian sausage. No herbs, no veggies, no flavor. Bland and sad. All of that sadness for $15…utterly disappointing. Last time was no better, the food was lifeless and had barely any taste. This used to be one of my favorite stops, but they are now forever barred from my list. RIP Cliff House.
Had dinner there tonight for my dads birthday. I got steak and lobster the steak was perfectly medium rare. He got the seafood fettuccine and he loved it, lobster cream sauce was great and they didn’t skimp on the seafood in the pasta. Drinks were good as well. Our server Lisa was busy but had great attentiveness and was so nice. We got a complimentary cannoli and enjoyed it. We will be back here it might be our new favorite nice place for dinner now. (Sorry harbor lights ) It was our first time here and didn’t have high hopes but left impressed. Definitely recommend!

Oh What a Night!!! The Cliff House did its thang!! We decided on an early dinner so we made a reservation for 4:30-5 pm. The staff from the Hostess to our waitress was gracious spoke in very calm tones. I love that! My husband and I began with salads. I had the wedge salad. It was so good. The salad dressing was very light vinaigrette with bold flavors. I customized my salad and they did everything exactly the way I asked. We had several drinks as always I ordered a Cosmo and the bartender definitely knows what they are doing! My husband had a dark and stormy. He also enjoyed his drink. For my main course I had the Chicken Marsala with whipped Yukon potatoes and sautéed green beans. My mouth celebrated each and every bite! The Marsala sauce was perfectly seasoned. The chicken was cooked just right. And the portion size was the right amount to be full and not stuffed. The next dish was the Prawns and Scallop Risotto. This dish was beautifully plated. My husband raved about this dish. That first bite all he could do was smile and lean back in enjoyment. We closed the night with a lovely piece of Red velvet cake! Babe get it! Sooo good! Cliff House is not a place to rush in and out. Come here take time enjoy the view of the sound, sip on a drink and fall into a great conversation. The staff encouraged us to just chill. This is what is missing from so many restaurants. Too loud over crowded and impersonal. Not the Cliff House. Hope you stop by for a spell.

Just because it was Valentines Day doesn't mean it should be so expensive! They were fully booked, had lost our groups reservstion so "squeezed" us in my allowing us to come at 3:30. They were told is was a SOLO Group of widowed men and women who wanted individual charges. We had to have one person pay for the meals and wouldn't even let each person know how much each meal was. What a financial mix up. My meal came to $120.00! Seriously? for salmon and crab together, a small salad and mashed potatoes and asparagus? With a very small piece of chocolate cake? I will never be going back.
