    My family and I went to Thanksgiving dinner and it was out of this world. The variety of meats, seafood, salads, sides, drinks, cheeses, bread and desserts: wow, so delicious. The service was excellent. The ambience was so nice. Not crowded. That was my first time having Thanksgiving at a restaurant and it might be our new tradition. We can’t wait to go back! There’s no place like Jackalope Ranch. Thank you Charlie for giving our 6 year old grandson a Jackalope baseball cap. It was fun talking to you.

    The pre-Thanksgiving, prix fixe menu was good. Most of the food was perfectly cooked. The butternut squash soup was AMAZING. The salads were super good, mine being quite unique with a goat cheese-beet spread smeared on the bottom of the bowl. My partner had the prime rib which was perfectly cooked, but a bit bland. I had the Branzino which was PERFECT. Melted in your mouth. The pies themselves were good, but the crust was kind of awful. Very floury. The only real complaint I had was the price of the drinks, I know we chose a higher end whiskey, but not THAT higher end - $36/ea for an old fashioned was a lot!! Either way, I’d go again. Looking forward to trying their Italian food!

    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!

    This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! And the pricing is totally reasonable especially considering it's located in a casino. I went with three friends so there were four of us total. They have a full bar so we each started out with a drink (margarita, dirty martini, wine and beer). Most all of their meals are served family style so we shared the delicious large size wonton soup and it was the perfect size for four people (they also have single serving sizes). Then we shared an order each of calamari, sizzling pepper steak, shrimp wok fried rice, and spicy green curry with chicken. Every single dish was absolutely delicious! Our server, Irene, was very attentive and extremely nice, and the ambiance is attractive and not too loud. Our bill came to $149 before tip (that is $37 per person and really good pricing for the Palm Springs, CA area). I would highly recommend this restaurant! I look forward to going back because there are so many other menu items I want to try.
