"We came to the Cliff House to celebrate our Anniversary. It we were greeted and congratulated on our anniversary celebration. The entire staff was professional and extremely kind. The food was phenomenal!! I had bacon wrapped elk and my wife had the sirloin. everything was perfect. Ahi Tuna appetizer left us wanting more of it it was delicious. The Creme Brulee trio was my wife's favorite. We will definitely return to celebrate again and enjoy more of your amazing food."

"A wonderful dinning experiance. We chose the "table for two" which included 2 filets done to perfection and served with carrots aspearagas and potatoe in a very appealing presentation. Desert was delicious as well. The service was excellent the ambience was beautifully inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant for those who are looking for fine dinning and a memorable experiance."

"Of the numerous five-star restaurants I've eaten at in Britain, France, Italy, etc., this happens to be the perfect balance of laid-back and formal, classy and casual, great service and being left well enough alone for the majority of the meal. It's not the best of the best of the best, but its perfection is complete enough to recommend to anyone, and the price:experience ratio is astounding."

"Our first time there. We were seated in a small elegant room with a fireplace. Our Server was Chris, who was both personable and professional. Menu was full of interesting items. Server suggested based on our likes/dislikes. A gem of a restaurant in Manatou Springs, CO"

"We spent a lovely evening on Valentines eve at the hotel and ate at the resturant. We were accomadated in splitting our meal and having it prepared gluten free; it was delicious. The service was very attentive, water glasses were refilled frequently and we were asked everything was ok several times. We had the Triple Creme Brule desert and coffee which topped of the meal wonderfully."

"This is one of our favorite places especially for weekend brunch and to bring friends visiting area as in good weather can have drinks or meal on veranda in very historic setting. The dining room is also lovely. Recently there just by myself and the salmon benedict was very good. My only negative this time was the service from the gentleman who checked me in as he was no less than "cloying" and oversolicitous and came back multiple times for the check when I had not even finished yet."

"The staff at Cliff House is wonderful. They are so kind and will do whatever you need. It is wonderful to have a sommelier who is happy to explain the wines and even wrote down the name of the wine that we had because I liked it so much. The food is wonderful and the menu is diverse enough to make anyone happy but isn't too large. I loved our time at the Cliff House and would recommend it to anyone who would like a lovely dining experience."
