We stayed at the Cliff House for four nights in mid September 2023 and ate both breakfast and dinner here several times. The views are breathtaking if you get a table by the window, but even if you don't the restaurant has a very nice upscale ambience. No, this is not inexpensive, but the food and service are first rate, plus the chef was very accommodating to my wife's food allergies and prepared a specially made dinner for her more than once. All the food was delicious, fresh, and nicely presented. Portion sizes were very good. Prices were on par for other upscale restaurants we have gone to. We have vacationed in this area for years and have dined at many other restaurants. For fine dining this is definitely one of the better places.

Beautiful views from your dining table overlooking the the rocky coastline! Lisa took amazing care of us at dinner, she's really fun and knowledgeable, she also sought us out when we came back to dine even when we were not in her area. Food is very good overall, a few items were hit or miss. Steamed lobster is great and they will take it all out of the shell for you, if you get a chance to have the lobster chowder, don't pass it up, they put crumbled bacon in it and it's fantastic! Shrimp cocktail was excellent, so were the oysters, but we did not like the Seafood Tower that had salmon on it and some crab spread, not the ideal items for this type of presentation. Solid breakfast and lunch, we worked with Cavane and he was amazing, very outgoing and positive. Bartenders are really great, special recognition to Zoe, Paolo, and Hector (he makes the best Paper Plane cocktail ever!). Finally, I just want to thank Wendy at the host desk, on our first night we randomly had some friends that were going to be in the area for 1 night, she was able to take our dinner party of 4 and turn it into 8 with no notice and no real availability in the restaurant.

What an experience! From the incredible views to the delicious food presented, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, this was more an experience than just a meal. Every dish was beautiful presented and prepared in a way footlights the fresh high quality ingredients. I highly recommend sitting at the terrace for your meal on a nice night especially for a special occasion.

We had an incredible experience for dinner. Emma made the experience extra special, we enjoyed her energy and spunk. The food was incredible and the view of course was just as incredible. Thank you for a great dinner experience. Make sure to get the Cardamom Creme Brulee !!!

Spectacular Views: This is arguably the restaurant's biggest draw. A wall of windows ensures nearly every table has an uninterrupted view of the ocean, from dramatic sunrises to romantic sunsets. Upscale yet Inviting: The decor combines contemporary design with charming rustic elements, creating an elegant and bright dining space.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at the Tiller. It was our first visit and it was so special that it certainly won't be our last (I've already booked Mother's Day 2026!). The view is unparalleled but even more spectacular was the service we received from our server, Jason. Jason gave us the best service in a restaurant that we've experienced in years! He anticipated our every wish and whim making our experience at the Tiller exceptional and oh-so-memorable. Also worth noting was our host, Abigail who also went above and beyond to make our evening extra wonderful. The food was very good (particularly the oysters) and we are excited to return.

We went there yesterday for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Beautiful view from the restaurant. The receptionist arranged us the table next to the window. The food is delicious. I got the short rib and it’s an excellent choice. My wife had the scallops on fried rice and it’s very good also. We also ordered the dessert and at the end, the waiter told us the dessert is on the house. Wow, what a treat. Thanks all the staffs and the manager of Tiller restaurant. We had a very wonderful dinner for our anniversary.
