Restaurants near Cliff House Resort & Spa

We were there to celebrate my mom's 85th birthday. The staff, especially Faith, were outstanding. They went above and beyond to treat my mom to an experience she'll never forget. We had a great time, the food was terrific, and we couldn't have asked for better as far as being treated as if we were truly special.

Bolognese is one of my favorite Italian dishes; Massimo’s was exceptional as the penne pasta was “home made” plus a choice of serving sizes. My husband looks forward to the veal chop which was also done just as he had requested, rare and charred on the outside. The dining room is very cozy, we felt like we were in Italy.

We meet relatives there every year for a holiday dinner. Although the place is perfect in every way the food this year was not as well done as years past. The beet in my Warm Beet Salad was not cooked through, my snapper, while the salsa verde was delicious, was way over cooked, and the piece was so small I was still hungry! For the price of the prix fixe, I expect a delicious satisfying meal. We may look elsewhere for next years holiday dinner

We were meeting another couple, but unfortunately, they had to cancel at the last minute. Jonathan's staff understood. We decided to sit in the lounge area, which was just perfect. The bartender was very knowledgeable with all the special and menu items. We will be going back, especially for the oysters ( $ 1 each) from 4 - 6 pm in the lounge 5 + stars 🌟

As advertised. An absolutely beautiful, relaxing and romantic experience with excellent food and service. Highly recommend!
