   We always enjoy our dining experiences at Summit House, although tonight’s experience was a bit less than the usual. The server did not hear/list our drink orders accurately which was a disappointment and caused us to order additional cocktails to suit our desires. The special of the evening (sea bass) only had one plate available, even though it was only 6:00 pm, and was a disappointment. Our meals were quite delayed in arriving and were lukewarm at best. The jasmine cilantro rice on my plate was actually “crunchy” from sitting too long somewhere other than on our table. It is appreciated that the complementary desert for the member of our party celebrating a birthday arrived and yet it was quite awhile before the sever returned to ask if any additional desserts were desired and she never asked if any of us wanted coffee! Sadly, I am quite disappointed in the service that we experienced this evening. It was NOT the typical Summit House caliber and makes me question if we should return or seek another establishment for future dining experiences going forward.

   We had an amazing time celebrating 24 years of marriage. Our waitress and all the staff were spectacular in taking care of us. We had the best prime rib, Ceasar salad, and eclair desert. It was a very special night. This is our favorite restaurant!

   We love Summit House and we'll keep coming back. The beautiful ambiance and view matches the great quality of food and service. We come here for special occasions and even regular dinners. I'm glad that it has kept up to its high standard since day one of dining here. I always recommend this place.

   The food was really good. Portions were large. I was not expecting that. Either way we took home the leftovers. The desserts were okay. I thought could have been better. Again large portions. Staff was amazing. I would try something else on the menu the next time I go! The Roasted Garlic Chicken is AMAZING!!! The Risotto was good, Please take out the pine nuts. Overwhelming the dish! Their free signature side is the Cream of Corn, delicious!!! Drinks were great! Overall I would go back knowing what I know now.

    Celebrated my daughters birthday there. Love the ambience, the chandelier and the life piano playing. Y’all enjoyed as a family and their prime rib is great! Lovely crabcakes but it does come in two pieces so if you want more than that, you would have to get another appetizer. The truffle fries are exceptional! The escargot was loved by my daughter. Service was impeccable.
