    Great place for dinner in the late afternoon or early evening. The outdoor patio is lovely and the service was excellent.

    Dinner was incredible both myself and my partner loved are meals. The Valentine prix fixe had a very good selection to choose from. My partner chose the Chilean sea bass and he raved about it. I had the scallops which was prepared perfectly. This was my partner first time and he said he'd like to come back soon.

    We were seated in the small room by the entrance with no view or ambiance. Very disappointing for a special valentine dinner. We felt very rushed as the waiter obviously wanted to turn the table over quickly.

    The cliffhouse never disappoints! Andres was our server for my valentine birthday and he did a fantastic job! Hubby & I got to sit next by each other, enjoying the view of the palm trees and the blue skies. The lamb shank was wonderful, and the fillet was delicious. Every time I go, it just seems it gets better and better. I love this place; my favorite restaurant.!

    We went for the early bird special and had to ask for extra salad dressing, extra rigatoni sauce, and water refills. Then we found out they charged us eight dollars for the rigatoni sauce that we asked for. And our food was cold. We had reservations for two more dinners, but we canceled them. Last year we love the place this year not so much.

    Menu has become seafood heavy. Needs more beef, poultry and pork options. Portions are always good here. Went long periods of time without seeing our waiter.
