Chilean Sea bass
Apryl W.

Cliffside was one of the highlights of our trip to St. George and the perfect choice for a special occasion dinner. We were able to snag patio seating, and the views were absolutely stunning. The restaurant sits in a beautiful location overlooking the area, making it easy to see why it's one of the most popular dining destinations in St. George. Reservations are highly recommended. The standout dish for our group was the Chilean sea bass. All four of us agreed it was exceptional--perfectly cooked, flaky, buttery, and incredibly juicy. It was served over a mushroom risotto that was packed with flavor and complemented the fish beautifully. The chicken fried chicken was another surprise favorite. It was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not greasy at all, which can be hard to find with fried chicken. My friend ordered the filet with shrimp as a surf-and-turf option and couldn't stop talking about how incredible it was. Save room for dessert! The carrot cake was one of the best I've ever had. I've never tasted carrot cake with that much flavor--it was rich, moist, and absolutely unforgettable. We also loved the house-made Italian sodas, which were served in beautiful glasses and added a fun touch to the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. From the hostess warmly greeting us for our reservation to our server's excellent menu recommendations and attentive, prompt service throughout the evening, every interaction was exceptional. Between the spectacular views, outstanding food, and impeccable service, Cliffside delivered a memorable dining experience from start to finish. We would absolutely return on our next visit to St. George.

Vegetable Pesto Pasta w/Shrimp
Nia L.

Went hiking at Zion and refused to go to Cedar City to scrounge for something to eat. We heard St. George was more diverse with more options so to St George we headed. After finding Cliffside and being sold on the view we were not disappointed. We sat outside b/c although we got there at 5pm opening time, they only had space for us on in the Cliff! So plan ahead and make a reservation! We ordered the special w/fish (can't remember what type), rosemary chicken, and pasta w/shrimp, wedge and side salads. The Italian soda was to die for... My husband is allergic to fish and was going to get the Chicken Fried Chicken; but they fry it in the same oil as their fish. I appreciated them letting us know this ahead of time. There's lots of parking, beautiful views from the parking lot and restaurant. If I ever return to St.George this is my first stop!

Food and service were outstanding! View was spectacular and it wasn't insanely loud like many fine dining restaurants. Our waiter was super friendly and really left a great impression.

Blackberry Wine Refresher, Calamari and the view.

The view here is great, the patio set up is ideal. Service is fantastic and the food is good.

Meal

The food was excellent, and the view was absolutely beautiful. My father ordered the Cliffside burger and ranked it among the top three burgers he's ever had, which is high praise coming from him! My stepmom enjoyed the Southwest salad and thought it was very good, although, as others have mentioned, the $9 charge to add protein felt a bit steep. I ordered the pear and four-cheese pasta, and it did not disappoint--absolutely delicious! Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely return the next time we're in St. George. We enjoyed it so much that we also highly recommended it in the guest book at the place where we were staying.

It was our 1 year anniversary! Chauncey was our waiter and he was the most respectful genuine person we've met in a while! They gave us a free dessert and had the best view of the city, it was DEFINITELY A MUST!

Slade is a really good server. The four cheese and pear pasta with added mushrooms is a delicious treat! It's so comforting and yummy! The atmosphere is good and the views are amazing! You can also bring your own bottle of wine for a $15.00 cork fee. There is also a wine and beer menu but no premium liquor or bar.

Clam Chowder and spinach Salad
Justin J.

I found this restaurant months in advance when I was planning a big trip that would come through here and immediately knew I wanted to try it. It was relatively close to our hotel so that was a plus. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and the views are fantastic. It was hot outside so we sat inside. Our server was fantastic. And she took very good care of us. My mom and I both ordered Italian cream sodas, which we both loved. The bread and herb butter is among some of the best I had. My mother ordered a spinach salad and clam chowder, which she really enjoyed. I ordered the Filet and shrimp. When my filet was brought out I immediately could tell by the char on the steak that it was really overcooked. I ordered medium rare and it was medium well, close to well done. I'm not one to complain much but I informed my server and she immediately took it back and apologized. After a few minutes she brought out my new steak and asked me to cut into it to be sure it was cooked correctly. Unfortunately it was once again overcooked to medium well, although it was very slightly better than the last. I told her it was fine and she said she would take it back again since she saw it wasn't cooked correctly again. I kept the steak and ate about half. The steak was just ok. I'm not sure if they season their steaks much but it seemed to not have any seasoning on it. My vegetables weren't fully cooked and the mashed potatoes were good but had green onions mixed in which I didn't care for. My shrimp however were great. We decided to order a desert and got their Crème Brûlée. Our server offered us a second complimentary dessert to apologize for my steak, but we only wanted the one. When our check came our server once again apologized for my steak and informed us they comped all our cream soda's and the dessert. While I was really disappointed in my meal, the service we received was outstanding. I'm not from the area and don't know when or if I'll ever be back through St. George, but I would definitely come back to give Cliffside another try.

SEARED IDAHO RED TROUT
Don L.

What a great restaurant! First of all, servers greet guests with warmth and enthusiasm, making them feel welcome from the moment they arrive. They confidently described menu items and suggested pairings, enhancing the dining experience and making it easy to make a decision on what to eat. A diverse menu offers something for everyone, from appetizers to desserts, catering to different tastes and dietary needs. I loved the Four Cheese and Pear Pasta and my wife simply adored the Seared Idaho Red Trout. We shared the Cliffside Molten Cake which made a nice ending to our meal. Pair the service and the food along with unpretentious, comfortable interior with incredible views and you've got a place I would go again and again.

Swordfish special was amazing
Randy D.

Love this place. View is amazing and food always good. Was brought here for lunch by business colleagues and loved it. On my next visit to St George I brought my wife here. She also loved it We had the squash soup and fish of the day. Bread service was delicious and we scoffed it down. Appetizer was the squash bisque. Full of flavor and delicious I ordered the swordfish special and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly Service was great. Can't wait to return

Vegetable pasta soup... with steak added
Joshua L.

We made a reservation for 745pm. We stayed at the inn adjacent to the restaurant. We had asked for a window seat specifically for my birthday. The restaurant said they would do that for us but we may have to wait which was fine. We called and confirmed again and told them again it was for a birthday dinner. Staff seated us away from the window and nothing was available. Didnt allow us to wait which was disappointing. Order the filet two glasses of red wine and a vegetable pasta with steak added on. The vegetable pasta looked like a pasta soup. It had good flavor but was a mess to look at. Steak was prepared well and placed on top of tasteless potatoes. No mention of the birthday. Waitress was not attentive. Really just a poor end to an overall good day. Service needs work.

Ribeye
Cindy K.

We had the ribeye, cliffside burger, calamari, clam chowder, and Caesar salad. Everything was delicious! Calamari had bits of pickled jalapeños with just the right amount of flavor. Clam chowder was best I've ever had and the steak and burger were delicious! The views both from inside and outside were epic, especially at sunset. Our server was super friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!

This restaurant is located on a hilltop, so it has a great viewpoint with large windows offering stunning scenery. The staff were very polite and provided excellent service, and the food looked incredibly delicious.

When I asked for another drink, the answer was quick and terse..."we don't give free refills" Wow!.......it's as if he wanted us to leave immediately and had the to go containers at the ready....(was it because my partner and I are an interracial couple?) (he had a bad day? ) (who knows) The interaction with the server felt off from the beginning. The place is nice, but I felt let down. Unbeknownst to the restaurant, they had a celebrity in their midst.....Olympic athlete, gold medal winner....not naming him unless asked.... I tipped Domonic $20 because customer service is hard and times are hard.... The ladies at the desk were nice and personable.... Would I come back here, not really..

Father's Day this year was especially meaningful for our family, and thanks to this incredible…read morerestaurant, it became a memory we will cherish forever. From the moment we arrived, every dish was exceptional. The salad was fresh and beautifully prepared, the pork belly was absolutely outstanding, and the steak was cooked to perfection with the most incredible seasoning. Every bite was memorable. The biscuit was unreal--warm, comforting, and honestly one of the best I've ever had. What touched me most was the homemade ice cream. One spoonful instantly brought me back to childhood memories of my dad making homemade ice cream for us when we were kids. It was such a special and unexpected gift to relive those moments. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was our server, Parthee. She was absolutely amazing. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made us feel so welcomed and cared for. She didn't just provide excellent service--she made our night. Our family has been through a lot, including the heartbreaking loss of my sister. Father's Day hasn't always been easy for my sweet dad since then. This evening gave us something precious: a new happy memory together. Parthee, thank you for your compassion and for helping create a beautiful moment for our family during a difficult season of life. We are so grateful, and we will never forget it.

My wife brought me here for my birthday. I want to start…read morethis by saying our server was truly exceptional. First, the host staff are very rude. We had a 730 res, showed up 10 mins early because parking was easy and told to wait eventhough we saw 6 open tables. Once seated they had a large very drunk unruly group of guys center room screaming and carrying on. Not a giant deal until I saw they same guys being rude to other patrons and literally grabbing our server. We couldn't hear the menu explanations due to the volume of that table. Drinks. The wine was fine for my wife. I am a whiskey and scotch guy Ordered a macallan 12 - didnt have it Ordered a EH taylor -didn't have it. Ordered a Bookers Bourbon- had it however the world's largest ice block (literally sticking out of the glass) which diluted the 1 Oz $30 pour. Bartenders inexperience truly showed here. The food. For the love of God, discover salt. We ordered 4 things. Elote Scallops Crab Mac Ny strip (medium rare) Best dish by far was the elote. The scallops still tasted like the sea and were extremely gritty. The steak...... medium and on the way to well. Not seasoned. The sauces were a horseradish and a chimichuri. Neither of which saved that steak. We literally sent the crab Mac back to the kitchen. Inedible. Tasted like tuna mac that had been left in the oven too long. Our server took care of all of our concerns and saved the evening, even gave us a few sea salt chocolatechip cookies (the cookies get salt but the $60 steak doesnt?) ......until the food poisoning kicked in. So thanks for the cheap wesightloss I guess? Gave it a try, and we would never recommend it to anyone we respect or call friend
