    Food was reasonably good, nice restaurant but very busy! Waiters and waitresses are run off their feet so don't expect outstanding service... But acceptable. It's worth the visit...

    The food is good here, but the chefs were evidently expecting a large holiday crowd. Thus, they limited the menu and allowed no substitutions. This was a disappointing experience.

    Terrific Thanksgiving meal! 4 of us ordered the 2 course Turkey selection. Honestly, we all agreed this was the tastiest Turkey and accompaniments we've ever ordered at any restaurant on Thanksgiving. Was seated promptly, our server was excellent and attentive with our meal/drinks. Will definitely go back next year for Turkey Day again! Cliffhouse was a winner!

    Thanksgiving at La Quinta Cliffhouse did not disappoint! Loved that they served a traditional turkey dinner option as well as other options for GF family member. The salads were delicious too! It was well worth the price although it was $300 plus for 4 of us. I think that may be considered good but we did not order drinks or dessert.

    We loved it! We were seated on the patio very close to the “cliff” and waterfall—really great atmosphere! The service was good and our meals delicious. A truly enjoyable evening.
