"The food is very good and the view is terrific. However, the place is pretty dead. The people that run this place need to do a better job of marketing. I would go back again."

"We went for our 4th anniversary, a reso I made through Open Table. In our reso notes, I had requested Happy Anniversary to be written on our dessert plate, which they did, and my wife loved it! Thank you for making our anniversary so special!"

"We had a small birthday party on the patio, midday and even on 5/20 it was very pleasant. As we left we noted that it was getting a little warm. Patio is shaded and they have fans.
The food was very good, clean plates for all. Antonio our server was excellent. The ambiance is fantastic.
As part of our birthday celebration they gave us a free dessert and the banana cream pie is to die for. Going back some evening after the theater just for pie."

"A nice hidden gem of a restaurant located inside a resort. There are wedding venues across the lake so if you have a Friday or Saturday evening reservation you may end up seeing fireworks, which are often a part of the reception. Just a nice bonus!
Food was good. Service was a little slow, but we were not in a hurry. Overall a great dinner."

"We enjoyed our mid week dinner here, sitting on a man made lake with a great decorative lights creating ambience and bouncing off the water. Very tranquil and beautiful setting. The food was very tasty and we will look forward to another dining experience here in the near future."

"Great view, steak was 1/4" thick and overcooked, dry. Not that many people but food was slow. As with many restaurants all customers jammed in one corner making noise level unacceptable. Needs improvement."

"Took my girlfriend to Pinon Grill even though I read a review that said "they got up and left because they didn't get waited on." It just looked so relaxing on that patio. Well, we waited 30 minutes for our drinks and I was scared out entrees would take even longer. but they didn't. Our server kept apologizing and said that she was the only one there and I guess she was doing both lounge and restaurant. What a shame. The Ambiance on the terrace is wonderful. Just go there if you have lots of time and don't mind waiting. The food was wonderful."

"My wife and brother-in-law had dinner inside. Food was very good. Service was good. They seemed to be understaffed a little. The waiter was good, but was very busy tending to a large table of diners. There was a large group outside and they seemed to be the main focus of the staff."

"Made reservations for Valentines day, but when we arrived the place was completely empty except for a few elderly people at the bar. There was no-one to greet us when we arrived either, so after waiting a minute we decided to wing it and go reservation-less at another place."
