I ate here last on Thursday night when all Seafood dinners are $20. So glad I chose the Pacific Rim Salmon ! It was wonderfully delicious. I can't wait to go back for this dish again.

Karin

It's a beautiful restaurant . The service was great, from the hostess to the server. Recommended for a special occasion . We were celebrating our anniversary and they treated us well .

Christina Meek

Yes it's expensive but sooo worth it the service and experience was so amazing and magical!! Best food of my life! The picture is of the lamb my husband had. Our server was andrew he was spectacular

Vicky Watson

Riding the trolley is fun but walking down the stairs through the garden is better and you can always ride the trolley back up the hill when you leave

Brian Strauss

A good time in a beautiful spot. Nothing particularly modern here: a good martini and a delicious menu of 20th century continental greatest hits. Only thing missing is the smoking section.

Daniel Bowen

The prime rib was spectacular and the mashed potatoes were exquisite. I also enjoyed the frozen strawberry drink.

Elissa W.

Beautiful setting, great service thanks to Wyatt, our awesome waiter , and delicious food! We had pork chop , filet mignon , and the prime rib : all 3 were very tender and flavorful.

David Bernal

One of the most beautiful restaurant I have ever have dinner in. Great ambience. Lovely scenery. The cable car to get to the restaurant is so cute .

Rani Queen

Loved the cable car . Chicken sandwich and artichoke pizza were great. Jack Daniel’s whisky mud pie was really good

Ric Forrester

The ambience is great, especially by the windows. Great food. A variety of rooms/spaces to choose from when planning an outing or event !

Abbey Keck

The Caramel Appletini and the seared ahi appetizer were great. The molten chocolate dessert seemed like the best bet - wouldn’t recommend the apple pie .

Tina Warvi

This place is so unbelievably cool & gorgeous! The food is fantastic!! Make reservations tho & arrive early evening so you still have light out to walk the gardens which they get their herbs from!

Angela Stanford

Check dress code requirements, although not strictly enforced when we were there. Use Shadowbrook cab if not from the area. Arrive early and walk down (take cable car after meal). Butcher 's Filet!!!

Elijah Colpitts
