    Beautiful restaurant set into the cliff. We sat on the west facing patio for sunset/happy hour. Excellent service and great staff all round. We enjoyed our meal.

    Reception upon checking was a little inhospitable and cold. My apologies for running your chit-chat ladies when I checked in. Other than this lackluster reception, server (Christy) was fantastic and the food was very good as usual. Another snag was that they ran out of my gin but the floor manager informed me right away. That and my daughter did not get the Dutch creamery chocolate soft serve that's supposed to come with the kid's meal. They did sub out with a scoop of Bajaj ice cream with some chocolate syrup but it's not the same. Overall, a solid meal as I have come to expect from LA Quinta Cliffhouse but they have done better in the past.

    WOW what a terrific dinner! We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and chose the Cliffhouse. Denise our server was warm and gracious, and our dinner was exceptional. I had the filet mignon, which was tasty and cooked to perfection, and my husband had the Wagu strip steak, and it was amazing. He also had the Ceaser salad and said it was the best one he has had and he orders them wherever we go. Praise to the new Executive Chef who has elevated the food to new heights!

    We booked reservation based upon open table reviews. The outside patio view and ambiance was outstanding with the waterfall and cliffside experience. The sunset menu selections were outstanding for $27. The new cook's menu was outstanding. The braised beef in brown reduction was amazing, tender and perfectly seasoned. The spice salmon was moist and flavorful. The vegetables green, beans were perfect as well. A very nice experience and well recommended.
