    My dinner tasted really good, BUT 4 small to medium sized scallops was an appetizer, Not a dinner. Portions were terrible. My fiancé s Chillean Sea Bass, same thing. Very small portion. Not sure we're going back. Disappointing.

    We had a great dining experience at the Cliffhouse. We brought our 6 month old baby with us and the staff were very accommodating and kind. I have dietary restrictions and the menu offered lots of options for me. I look forward to coming back next time we’re in the desert.

    Excellent for their Happy Hour and then dinner. It's great they have so many tables outside when the weather permits and you can listen to the waterfalls. Food and appetizers were excellent, including the Skirt Steak, Salmon Salad and a nice large plate of Calamari that can be shared with 2-4 people. The Manhattan and Old Fashion we had were perfect. Highly recommend this restaurant.
