    Brandy ..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great spot for Friday date night. Beautiful views , wonderful service and food is outstanding. My husband had the filet mignon and it was amazing. Very tender melt in mouth deliciousness! Scallops were perfectly cooked. Very generous serving of the wedge salad topped off the meal. Definitely will return.

    bean hummus was bland

    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.

    We made reservations for dinner just for myself & my best friend just to celebrate our friendship and do a just because dinner . I had Kevin as my server that evening, we had their dinner for 2 which was Rib eye , lobster , asparagus and mashed potatoes and garlic rolls & salad . The food was absolutely delicious & amazing . Kevin was phenomenal and super attentive and made our overall experiences terrific. This location & view is perfect for any occasion and they have a live pianist singing .. I would definitely come bck again and request Kevin as my server he was the best !!!

    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.

    lamb chop!

    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 $$$.

    Very creamy crunchy sugary sweet topping.

    Beautiful restaurant. Great servers friendly and attentive. Piano in the middle with live music a plus overall a great atmosphere for a date night or special occasion.

    Tomahawk steak, Cream Cheese Mashed Potato, Steamed Asparagus, and garlic shrimp
    Cathleen C.

    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.

    Crème Brûléebrulee

    We had excellent service tonight Must gets 1. The scallops comes with 5 and a nice little sauce 2. Parker house rolls 3. Chilean sea bass 4. Seafood pasta *very large quantity Skip: 1. Over priced drinks 2. More expensive meats unless that's what you are there for The creme brulee was huge- worth getting

    Caesar Salad

    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.

    30z Ribeye Tomahawk dinner for two was delicious! We added the lobster mac and cheese and broccolini! The loaded mashed potatoes and esparragues. Ambiance is perfect low lighting very elegant and love me the service. The drinks were also 10/10 the old fashioned and coconut maitai was killer! The manager came around twice to check on us.

Done it's the perfect amount and very tasty. One of our new steak locations. 10 stars guys!!!

    Ask the Community - Cielo

    What is the dress code for women?

    There isn't a gender specific dress code, I don't think anyone does that anymore. It was varied since it was at a casino from casual to more dressy but I'd say "smart casual" attire regardless of gender.

    Do they accept walk ins or is it by reservation only?

    Walk in is slim you'd be better off making a reservation. But I have walked in at opening and was seated at the bar.

    What is your dress code?

    Semi casual. No shorts, no sandals

    Can I bring my own bottle of champagne to drink?

    Yes you may we charge a $25 corkage fee for each bottle. We look forward to having you join us for dinner soon.

First of all, there is a reason why everyone says Lola is an awesome waitress - it's because it's true! I was trying to decide between the pastrami burger ($16.99) and the chicken pot pie (also $16.99) and without batting an eye she said if you're hungry go with the pastrami burger. I then wanted to test the waters so I said "Okay, how about if we add the prime rib ($27.99) into the mix?" And she said prime rib is the best. Ultimately I wasn't hungry enough for a prime rib meal so went with the pastrami burger which is a smashburger patty with pile of pastrami, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato's & 1000 island served with choice of fries, onion rings, tots or side salad - and I got tots of course which were just as they should be - fantastic! (Side note: Which ever side you get, be sure to get ranch dressing - it's awesome!) The burger was fantastic. It comes cooked led-well and I like mine medium which they will do by request. Girlfriend got the veggie skillet ($18.99) with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, avocado, spinach, home style potatoes & queso blanco - served with 3 eggs and any style toast but she decided to try peanut butter pancakes ($4 upcharge) and her whole meal was absolutely delicious!
