We enjoyed a nice supper at the Cliff House. Great ambiance and a relaxing atmosphere. I tried the ribeye and lobster tail entree. Along with their Jameson Old Fashioned. My wife had the Captains Platter and a dirty Martini. Great restaurant for a special occasion.

My wife and I visited Cliff House restaurant last night. The main draw is undoubtedly the awesome oceanfront view, which is breathtaking and worth experiencing. The service was excellent — our server was perfectly attentive, knowledgeable, and provided great care throughout the meal. The cocktails were also well-made and enjoyable.
The food was decent, but frankly not exceptional. Given the premium price point, I expected significantly higher quality. Even accounting for the incredible view, the menu felt greatly overpriced. It’s a great spot for drinks and the view, but don’t expect the culinary value to match the high prices.

Things have changed. Consistently getting better and better. We have traveled all over N. America and had some really good meals and service. Tonight our meals were top 5 in life at the Cliff House. Ate downstairs, the bartender tonight went out of his way to make things great!! Food is usually good, tonight it was spectacular!!! Good job guys!

Appalling experience.
Gluey over cooked / over processed mashed potatoes. Prime rib lacked seasoning and was grilled… The menu bragged it was “slow roasted to perfection”
I never asked for it to be grilled nor have I ever prepared it that way. My wife and I cook… A LOT. The manager asked if we just mistook the clumps of flour in the clam chowder for potatoes. Filet medallions were over cooked but the lump crab Oscar was mediocre. I ate my green beans and two bites of the wedge salad. My pregnant wife mainly ate because she was hungry not because she enjoyed it.
The food was some of the worst I’ve ever been served. Certainly not worth the $300. Serving assistants (host, Busser, food runners etc) were very pleasant and hospitable. Restrooms were shockingly immaculate.
Our server was probably overwhelmed due to the holiday… so I wouldn’t say she did anything “bad” just out of touch. Definitely felt more of a diner / quick order experience. No food suggestions, no questions of allergies, didn’t even gesture to recommendation of wine / drink parings. Just repeated “are you ready?” Until we ordered and then repeated “you guys doing okay?”
As for the stained sweater manager that I spoke to. Shame on your customer service approach. I’m happy to spend money on food… after 20+ years working in the restaurant industry you tend to look forward to seeing what other creative minds put together.
This establishment is still serving the same mashed potatoes and chowder that were prepared in the 70s. Just reheated.
You gave us a $50 GC as an apology/ request we come back. I gave that to the table next to me that waited 15min to get their coffee… which I assume only took that long because you had pulled their and our server off the floor to speak to her. I’ll be reaching out to the restaurant separately from this review.

Been in Tacoma 10 years now and just found my all time favorite restaurant Cliff House. Breathtaking view at night. My lobster prawn Fettuccine was to die for. My wife and my 10th anniversary. And the lovely Sierra took our photos and brought out a special anniversary dessert on the house. Cindy, our server was so awesome as well and even helped this old man figure out the math on the check and both ladies helped me load the doggie boxes. They were a treasure as is Cliff House. Spreading the word.

Save your money and go somewhere else. Night views are beautiful and the waitress was friendly but the food was terrible and we could hear the kitchen staff yelling and swearing. They brought my husband’s wedge salad to the wrong table. The calamari was both overcooked to the point of being rubbery AND cold which is quite a feat. The prime rib and chicken were both also overcooked and cold. Like they overcooked everything and then let it sit out too long before getting it to our table. We were told the vegetable of the night was asparagus and when we got our food it was green beans which my husband doesn’t like and would have asked for a sub in the first place if he knew. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and everything was swimming in cream and butter but extremely bland, nary a seasoning in sight. Like have the kitchen staff ever heard of salt? Made for an extremely disappointing Valentine’s, way over priced for the quality. Especially disappointing as we researched the restaurant and saw so many good reviews. My husband left hungry his food was so bad.

It’s a little on the pricey side but the food was very high quality, parking wasn’t bad, and the views were great. We went when it wasn’t busy and ate upstairs in the dining room. I can totally see how parking would be an issue when it got busier though, the lot is a bit small and I didn’t see any good overflow close by. Staff was great, food was good, would go again

I had the fish and chips and I tasted the cioppino.
The service was top notch. Friendly, attentive but not too bothersome.
The atmosphere was somewhat casual yet classy. The view had lots to do with the atmosphere. The view was worth every penny.
The fish and chips were better than most but I wasn’t inspired to write home about it.
The Cioppino (basically a seafood stew) was really good. Really nice flavor from the tomato based broth. I thought I would try a steak the next time I go but I’m thinking maybe Cioppino?
Great place to impress first date(s) .

My wife and I came here for our one-year anniversary dinner and were sadly disappointed.
When we arrived, we waited about 5–10 minutes for the host to lead us to our table. No big deal. Once seated, the views were absolutely stunning. A staff member came by to give us water and take our drink order. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this woman was actually our waitress. She did not introduce herself, go over any specials, or provide that extra warmth that makes you feel welcomed. While disappointing, I was willing to look past this.
Unfortunately, the food was the most disappointing part of the experience. We both ordered steaks, and the quality of the cuts did not come close to matching the price. I ordered the red wine demi-glaze, which tasted overwhelmingly of vinegar. My wife ordered the onion and mushroom add-on for her steak, and it looked like it came straight out of a can. The mashed potatoes were fine. We both only finished about half of our steaks and did not bother taking any leftovers home.
I had high hopes for this restaurant given its prime location, but in my opinion, it needs significant kitchen and management improvements.
