It's been a few years since we came up to the top of Morongo casino for the panoramic views of the desert floor and surrounding mountains including the majestic Mt. San Jacinto. The place is as fresh as the last time, Likely 15 years ago. Wow, time flies! The food servers are all very attentive, the house bread basket has a Nice selection.Everyone is dressed nicely, but it is the desert, so there are, sufficed to say, a number of people in shorts to make us not conspicuous. Very nice live pianist with a beautiful voice. Service was very nice and food was also very good. My only regret was not having an earlier reservation to get the full effect of the sunset. It was all good. We'll be back when we have some out of town visitors. Much nicer experience than our last visit. read more

Cielo does it again just when you think they can't get any better, they surprise you once again. We had the pleasure of celebrating my husband's birthday at Cielo. Our server was Mr. Enrique and his support waiter was Isaiah who was just a joy to be served by. These's two men made our dinner very pleasant and showed us so much attention. The general manager was amazing and came to talk with us and just made us feel like we have known him for years. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful with amazing views of the mountains and valley...it's amazing to go during sunset!! We ordered the tomahawk steak special with,loaded mashed potatoes, cream spinach and garlic jumbo shrimp. The calamari was amazing and so was the wedge salad. If you have not been please make reservations to go! Until next time Cielo! read more

It's a nice place. We take the elevator up to the restaurant. Staff at the elevators are friendly and courteous. Once we reach the table host, we are lead to our tables. Every table and chair has a nice view of the desert. Floor to wall windows. Don't worry if you are not right next to a window. The views are great everywhere. The food was amazing. Drinks are better than the ones at the casino bar. The steak was cooked to perfection. The cocktails were perfect. Great selection of wine. Great overall experience in dining. Our server had a great sense of humor. read more

Service : Our waiter Aaron was seriously the best! So does his helper.He was nice and take very good care of us.We have never have to ask for anything once because they always came around and make sure everything was good and we are good.If I can give service by itself 10 stars I would!

This is an old review. Husband & I dined here 2 days in a row since we stayed over the weekend at Morongo casino. We first had dinner on a Saturday evening & then AYCE brunch buffet the next day. The ambiance was modern & cozy. We sat by the huge window seating overlooking the desert which was surprisingly nice. They had a Live pianist on Saturday evening which gave the dining experience a romantic vibe. We started off with bone marrow to share which was packed with flavor. Hubby had the ribeye steak & I had Chilean sea bass. The ribeye was tender & cooked to perfection. The sea bass was cooked beautifully. The miso glaze over the fish was delicious & not overly salty. The roasted shiitake mushroom & bok choy were good complement to the dish. We ordered a bottle of red wine which paired very well with our dish. The brunch buffet was solid. It included many different options (appetizers, breakfast items, hot food, prime rib station, seafood, dessert, etc) to choose from. My favorite part at any buffet is always the seafood section. The seafood here was fresh. The Service was attentive & excellent for both dinner & brunch. I'd come here again if I stayed here in the future. read more

Came here for my husband's birthday. We drive by the Morongo casino every time we're heading out to L.A., and were curious about this place, and were told Morongo has great food. The restaurant was on the top floor, very classy and the view was amazing. The server was great and the meal was very good. The ambiance was nice they had a wonderful pianist cranking out the music during our meal. We dressed up a little bit because there was a dress code. The only thing I thought was a bummer was a lot of other people dressed sloppy and were still served. If they don't stand by their dress code then why have one? It would be nice to go to a classy steak house and see people wearing nice clothes instead of sloppy shorts and t-shirts. read more

Cielo - View from the top. - Seafood Near Me - Cabazon, California

Located on the top floor of the casino, Cielo promises an upscale dining experience--and it delivers. While the restaurant doesn't offer the sweeping desert views one might hope for from such a high perch, its open, airy layout creates a sense of space and calm that's rare in a bustling resort setting. The environment is peaceful with a quiet atmosphere that makes it ideal for a retreat from the casino floor. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff noticed small details. Our server offered excellent recommendations and clearly knew the menu well. We started with the Seafood Pasta, which exceeded expectations. The dish came with a generous variety of fish and shellfish, see my pic, all cooked to perfection. The broth was a rich, buttery base that didn't overpower the seafood but enhanced its natural flavors. The pasta was al dente, soaking up just the right amount of the broth to create a balanced, deeply satisfying bite. The Salmon Filet was equally impressive--moist, delicately, and topped with a light crab sauce that complemented the fish without overwhelming it. The dish tasted as good as it looked. Since we were celebrating a special occasion, the restaurant surprised us with a complimentary dessert. The dessert itself was light - just the right ending to a rich and flavorful meal. Cielo may not offer panoramic vistas, but it more than makes up for it with its polished service, peaceful ambiance, and standout cuisine. read more

I had a great dining experience at Cielo inside Morongo Casino. The view was nice and overall the meal was very enjoyable. Excellent service...Arron was my server, and he was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the evening. While I really enjoyed most of the dishes, the only thing that didn't quite hit the mark for me was the lobster bisque. Everything else made up for it, and I would absolutely return for another meal here. read more

I have eaten here at the bar, for a full meat centric meal, and on my latest trip, an assortment of appetizers and sides. Every time, no matter how big or small the party, the service and food have been stellar. Gorgeous room with a view if you get here before sunset, and later in the evening the huge chandeliers make it a very classically beautiful space. We started with a Caesar which was surprisingly topped with my favorite, white anchovies! The fried calamari with shisito peppers was tender, crunchy and perfect. The buttered mushroom side was a generous serving and very rich with a nice variety of mushrooms. I loved the asparagus, big thick stalks, cooked just enough to be tender. I've eaten their steaks and chops, but tried their steak tartare this time. Handcut quality meat with plenty of cornichons a raw quail egg, but under seasoned. I asked for a side of Dijon which I mixed in and it helped tremendously. The toasted bread on the side was delicious. They carry élit vodka, so I had a nice dirty martini that capped off the evening. read more

If you're in the area you have to go this place! I came here for my 10 year anniversary and this was my overall review: - let's begin with the service. Everyone was so nice and very friendly. Big smiles on everyone's face and our server gave out excellent recommendations! I would highly recommend making a reservation. This place gets filled fast! - The restaurant is located at the top of Morango Casino. Big tall windows that makes the few beautiful for sunset! ( we came around dark time and it was still nice to see the view with the lights. It's two stories btw! There's also a piano in the middle on the main floor which was giving "elegance" . There wasn't anyone playing while we were dining but I can only imagine with the acoustics how beautiful it would be. - Food: this is a seafood steakhouse and we decided to stick to trying their seafood. ( they had a real good deal on the tomahawk.) we started off with a Riesling wine and a Modelo. Make sure you get the bread ( served warm ), calamari ( great flavor on the breading) , crab cakes ( nice size and the crab was very tasty) . We also had the lobster bisque ( it was okay, few pieces of lobster inside of it). For the entrées, we had the seafood Alfredo pasta, and the Chilean Seabass. Both I will definitely recommend getting great flavor amazing texture on all the seafood. read more

Cielo - View from 27th floor - Seafood Near Me - Cabazon, California

Went for a family dinner at Morongo's restaurant and were sadly disappointed in the quality of the tomahawk we got. The entree came with a wedge salad and we picked asparagus, garlic shrimp, and cream cheese mashed potatoes. When initially ordering the waiter Jared did inform us that the food would take some time to come out which was not an understatement so we patiently waited however were disappointed when we started to eat our tomahawk which had no flavor and the mashed potatoes were barely warm. Our family we went with however had better luck with their entrees which is why I'm leaving 3 stars rather than 2 and our service was also exceptional due to Jared being extremely informative when going over the menu and wine options as well as being friendly throughout our dinner. The restaurant has a nice intimate vibe and there was a pianist playing while we waited and ate which was nice. read more

A jewel box restaurant on the top floor of the Morongo Casino and Resort! If you won a jackpot on the casino floor, make sure to spend your winnings at this steakhouse on the 27th floor of this resort. Food (4.5/5) For a steakhouse, you can expect your typical menu items here such as salads, bread service, seafood towers and steaks of course. My order here consisted of the Parker house rolls, Caesar salad, petite filet mignon, baked potato, and the warm butter cake. The filet was cooked exactly to my desired internal temperature. The Parker house rolls were a little overkill to order as they were incredibly rich, but still a decent choice. I was more surprised by the baked potato because they included so many toppings on the side to add to it. The butter cake is a true testament of a good steakhouse and it tasted the most similar to a Mastros butter cake which is almost the gold standard for me. Service (5/5) The employees at this restaurant were very accommodating from the hostess all the way to the waiters constantly refilling my water. Each table had an ice bucket table side with a glass jug of water in it so any service member could replenish a diners water throughout the meal. I thought this was an exceptional moment for the restaurant and aligned very closely to what is expected for a fine dining restaurant in my opinion. Ambiance (5/5) The experience starts navigating the casino floor to find the elevator to make your way up to the 27th floor of the Morongo Casino and Resort. Upon arrival, the view from this height is spectacular and showcases some of the best views of the San Jacinto mountains from an angle that you can't find anywhere else. The inside of the restaurant is more like a supervillain penthouse lair with the oversized floor to ceiling windows and a meticulously detailed ceiling. The chandeliers and the grand piano sets the tone for this restaurant and makes you truly feel like a high roller. read more

Was here on a Sunday night with my date. Really, you don't have to drive 3 hours to Vegas to enjoy casino and fine dining! Morongo has FREE PARKING! Cielo was GREAT! Martini and smoked old fashioned were on point! The crab cake is the best I have ever tasted. The lamb chops - OMG - soooo good! medium rare, whatever season used was beautiful. A bit of burnt/smoke fat on the bone had me gnawed at every bits and pieces. The sides are standard like any good restaurant: sauteed asparagus, bake potatoes, etc... Tonight there was a piano singer - she was also great! Good conversation with the Manager - Gerado. Our waiter - Aaron was very engaging and entertaining. Cielo for date night is well worth the $$$. read more

Cielo - lamb chop! - Seafood Near Me - Cabazon, California

I came here for their pork chops. They used to have the best tomahawk pork chops ever, it would melt in your mouth. I have to say I was so very very disappointed. The pork chops that I got were not only dry but they did not have the same reduction sauce they had I believe it was apple, and the pork chops came with very dry terrible cabbage on top, which didn't make sense at all. You would think the manager would ask if I wanted a different item instead he got me sauce that tasted like a1. So horrible I'll never come back here again. read more

Took my daughter here to celebrate her first day at college at the recommendation of several people, however I gotta say it was disappointing. The ambiance and decor is beautiful and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. You're all the way at the top of the casino however you can't really see anything g out the windows, the booths are high backed and against the windows, obstructing the views. I ordered the blueberry lemon martini and that was probably the best thing ordered. My daughter and I split the Kansas strip steak, bacon Gouda Mac n cheese (we intended the lobster Mac initially but our server said it has hardly any lobster). My mom ordered the half chicken with potatoes and brocollini. The steak was perfectly cooked but it lacked any flavor, they give you the white of an onion bulb (so bizarre, I can see garlic, but onion ?!). My mom seemed to enjoy her chicken although the chimichurri sauce did not at all seem like chimichurri, it was creamy and looked like avocado salsa. The calamari was terrible, it was incredibly rubbery and chewy, probably the worst calamari I've ever had. I think this place is great for ambiance but I'd suggest another steakhouse for sure. read more

While we stayed at Morongo for the weekend I made reservations for dinner at Cielo. Love the classy ambiance. I came with my 10yr old daughter on a Sunday night. We both ordered steaks, cooked to perfection. The steak looked small at first but it was pretty fulfilling, the sides were flavorful, asparagus and mash potatoes. I ordered a watermelon martini, very delicious. And the service we received from our two waiters (Nathan and Alejandro/Francisco - not sure which name was for our Hispanic waiter) was top notch. They kept checking up on us, making sure everything was perfect. Our Hispanic waiter was the most attentive person, complimenting my dress, making conversation with my daughter. Overall a very great experience at this restaurant. We loved it! read more

Our experience at Cielo was amazing! We came for my husband's birthday. we had a reservation and they called us to confirm in advance. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, they have a tomahawk steak for two deal where you get a tomahawk steak, two sides, and two salads for $180. Overall, the food was amazing! We love the tomahawk steak and thought the mashed potatoes were divine! I'm excited to come back and try some of the other things on the menu that I didn't get to experience that night. They even gave us a complimentary dessert for his birthday! So cute! The space is so elegant, and we felt like we were in such a high scale location. I wish we dressed up more! Our servers were Enrique and Jose. They were both so kind and so accommodating. Even the manager stopped by at our table to check in on how we were doing. The service here is five stars! If you're a Morongo rewards member, you get 10% off your entire bill and the tomahawk steak special included! Make sure to get your member card on the first floor. We unfortunately were misinformed that having the mobile app was enough. Unfortunately, they need your member card to give the 10% off. However, our server, Enrique, was able to get approval to give us the 10% off anyways. We did not ask this and they did it on their own. Such amazing service. read more

Our server was Enrique and he is THE BEST!! He literally made us feel like family and he makes you want to be best friends with him!! I love a good old fashioned and he convinced me to try theirs and let me tell you...it did not disappoint! Probably one of the best I've had. The presentation was awesome and Enrique did a cute little dance when he brought it out to me. We tried the shrimp cocktail appetizer, the bone marrow, filet mignon, ribeye, lemon broccolini, mashed potatoes, oysters, and it was all delicious. We can't wait to go back! read more

If you are looking for a romantic, exquisite and flavorful meal as we were, celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary, look no further, Cielo is your place! The restaurant is located atop of the Morongo Casino closely located off the 10 fwy. Take the Morongo Trail exit to the Apache Trail roundabout take the 4th exit on to the roundabout to Seminole roundabout take the 1st exit off the roundabout go left on Canyon View Rd then another left on Tumbleweed Rd the valet parking is to the right. For other parking follow the posted signs. Cielo provided everything we wanted and more, definitely exceeding our expectations! Beginning with the personal welcoming from the check-in hostess, to the romantic ambient entertainment by Marisa Corvo, with a beautiful mountainous background on the 22nd floor, to the caring roving manager politely checking ensuring our dinner was prepared to our liking, to Chef Jeremy who visited us to check on our liking of the meal he had prepared, to our awesome, awesome waitress Jeanette who was the best waitress we had ever experienced. We could not have had a more perfect night, well except if someone drove us home as we travelled an hour and a half to get there LOL! However we did feel that we were special people. Looking around I observed the same treatment to all which showed me that this treatment was genuine and sincere for everyone. Even though it sounds like a lot of checking on us it was all done in a professional, caring and non interrupting way. Jeanette took our full order so she could have everything ready to come out to us as we enjoyingly moved through our meal. I started with the fresh oysters on the half shell from Canada which were so flavorful and meaty! Paired with a perfect red wine (Silk & Spice from Portugal). My wife had the mild garlic flavored Parkerhouse dinner rolls which were soft and warm! We both moved on to the Grilled Peach Salad which blew our minds!!! The pairing of the grilled peaches with the boursin cheese and avocado was.. I can't explain how good this salad was! My wife's main course was a huge filet which was cooked perfectly matching what she asked for, with a side of sautéed onions and mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes. She paired it with a flavorful iced tea! LOL!! My main course was the gigantic perfectly prepared Bone In Ribeye with a side of sautéed onions & mushrooms, Bernaise dipping sauce, 2 huge meaty King Crab Legs and another glass of Silk and Spice wine. Janette ensured our steaks were cooked exactly to our request by having us check them in the middle of the steak as she stood by. I ordered another Silk and Spice, yes it was number three! It was sooooo good! We finished off our meal with a surprise chef desert cream puff stuffed with vanilla ice cream, perfectly prepared Creme Brûlée which was the biggest we had ever seen! Butter Cake that was so creamy, buttery and not too sweet. As I expressed previously it was a perfect night and a big thank you to all the staff at Cielo for providing that for us. I HIGHLY recommend you make your next special meal at Cielo located at the top of the Morongo Casino. read more

So my husband has driven by the Morongo Casino for years and always wanted to try this restaurant because it sits at the top of the casino. So we decided to have a date night and check it out. We made reservations for 9:00 pm but thought we would go early to see if they could squeeze us in. Thankfully they were able to get us in at 6:30. Nice.... The ambiance is very nice. It's cozy with an upscale feel. We were able to sit on the second floor near a window. Our server was very good. He's been with the casino for about 15 years. He explained the menu and answered all of our questions. My hubby had the Pan seared Chilean Sea Bass and I had the Tradition Shrimp Scampi. Everything was delicious. We were celebrating a late anniversary dinner so they brought us out a cute dessert to help celebrate. Everything was above notch and the experience was delectable. I will definitely come back. read more

Pricey, pricey but worth it. This is a place to visit on special occasions, very fancy and high class looking. I made a reservation by phone and they said someone would call me to confirm, they did call and sent a confirmation text which was a plus since we were traveling over two hours to virote the casino. Once there the manager greeted us and showed us out table, service was top class, we ordered several plates, my husband and son shared a tomahawk steak with was recommended by the waitress. They brought the salad and honestly it was very plain looking but once we tried it it was delicious! It took about one hour for our order to be served and everything was fresh and tasty, the only thing that threw me off was that we received the bill and tip was not included, we left cash at the table and went to pay and once there we were charged an additional $135 dollars for gratuity!! That's the only thing I did not like, we should know in advance when the gratuity will be added after we receive the bill because we had already left cash at the table, other than that is a good place for special days read more
