The service was great, and the food was impeccable. I don’t think I’ve ever had meat so soft and tender before. We had a great experience.

Found this place when I did road trip, so brought my parents to this place for dinner. Super nice view from the window. You can see Mt Rainier and see Port of Tacoma. Highly recommended to go there during sunset on a sunny day

The food was so good, I got the seafood pasta and usually am not the biggest fan of Italian food. I was impressed. Even more impressive was our server, he had a lot of personality, accommodating, and witty. The drinks were recommended by the server and were good as wells. We requested to go to the lower level as the upper level was more formal and eerily quiet. The staff moved us with no issues. The views from this place of the mountain are stunning, so is the drive. I recommend for date nights and special occasions.

Wonderful experience at Cliff House restaurant! My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at Cliff House and we had an amazing dinner. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent. Everything from drinks and appetizers to main entrees arrived quickly and came prepared perfectly. We can’t say enough good things about Cliff House restaurant and know we’ll be happy to share our experience with friends and family.

First time visited on 3-25-25 on my daughter's birthday. Spectacular views of downtown Tacoma especially at night! Large windows and unforgettable water view from the windows from upstairs! Dim lights and nice music makes the atmosphere pleasant. Food is delicious! The waitress white lady maybe in her 40's (forget her name) was nice, friendly and professional! Will be back again!

Love this place!!! Food was amazing, Randy our server was spectacular. We were gonna be a little late and we called and they made it work for us. Everyone was so nice. .

Beautiful locale with a great view of the Sound and Mt. Rainier. The food was superb. Their Risotto with Prawns and Shrimp were exquisite.
