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.

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!

View

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.

The only two things I wasn't as impressed with was firstly the price. In comparison to places like the Rodizio, Braza, and Tucanos Brazilian grills found in Utah, Bundys rates the highest price at around $49 per person with the Braza grill just behind it at around $42 for dinner. We felt the hot section/salad bar was very clean but lacking for options for the price. We usually like to have sides with our meats, but only ended up with some fruit and maybe one other dish from the salad bar table. It was a bit underwhelming considering it's the highest priced grill we've been to in Utah. The quality was just fine, but perhaps some adjustments need to be made to properly complement the high priced. Over all very good experience for a new place in the area. Just a little bit pricey.

Unfortunately, what should have been a special experience turned into a very disappointing one. We let our server know that it was my birthday, and I expected the usual birthday acknowledgment that Texas Roadhouse is known for. Not once did our server come over to wish me a Happy Birthday or make any effort to acknowledge the occasion. Instead, the entire experience felt rushed, as though we were being pushed out because they were trying to close. Our server introduced himself as Justin, although his name tag displayed "Iceman." His attitude throughout the experience was extremely nonchalant and unprofessional. After we placed our order, he came back and said, "Bad news," and told us they were out of the steaks we had ordered. Two of the five steaks we ordered were unavailable. This should have been communicated before taking our order, rather than after we had already placed it. He also told us that we probably shouldn't order the Porterhouse because it comes frozen. Again, this was frustrating because we were there to enjoy a special birthday dinner with our family and expected better communication and service. The food itself was good, but the service was subpar and completely took away from what should have been a memorable birthday celebration. I manage a restaurant myself in the state where I live, so I understand the challenges that come with the restaurant business. I also regularly visit Texas Roadhouse in my home state, and my family and I have always received friendly service and had great experiences. This location was completely different. I have heard people describe Texas Roadhouse as a racist establishment, and unfortunately, today I felt like I experienced that firsthand. The way we were treated left me feeling unwelcome and extremely disappointed. I understand that restaurants have closing times(they close at 10 PM and we got there at 7 PM, seated by 7:26 PM$, but rushing a family out,, especially when they are celebrating someone's actual birthday.,.is not acceptable. There was no warmth, no acknowledgment of my birthday, and very little effort to make us feel valued as customers. After this experience, I will never eat at Texas Roadhouse again. this entire place screams racist I didn't wanna believe everything I seen online but I got to experience it firsthand and I will agree with everything that they say online. we still tipped him 20% because like I said, I manage a restaurant and I know about the business, but he definitely did not deserve it.
