    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...

    Our waiter Andy was nice enough, but didn't listen to requests. We ordered a split wedge salad, were not given steak knives to cut the salad up. (Very hard to cut a wedge with a butter knife). Husband asked for a class of wine to be served with the entree, the wine came with the salad. Also, we had to ask for fresh cracked pepper it was not offered. The lobster I ordered was fine. Usually when I order lobster the server would remove the tail from the shell this did not happen, I had to remove and put tail shell on my bread plate. The broccolini was bland. the potatoes burnt on the top. Husband had the braised short ribs, he indicated that the short ribs were too salty, brussels sprouts were overcooked and burnt. When we are back in the area again, the Cliffhouse will not be on our restaurant go to.

    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.

    Went here for Thanksgiving dinner. Very nice restaurant, not fancy but nice. Restaurant was full, but not crazy. I’ve eaten here probably 6 times before and thought it was a decent value for the food and atmosphere. $54 for an ok plate of turkey dinner and a salad was not a great value. Not a horrible night by any means, just not as good as I’m used to there. A little disappointing, but I will be back.
