My husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant. They had a delicious food and a nice balcony view. The service was excellent.

Dos tacos de pescado
Long D.

Quick dinner before the show. Very roomy, clean, high ceiling, big window and no line no smoking dining hall. Hospitable and efficient staff. Water with lemon wedge came out quick. As soon as you ordered, the server brought out the warm sour dough mini rolls with butter spread. We ordered a French dip and two fish tacos. The thin sliced prime rib cuts is melt in your mouth soft with melted Swiss cheese and Boursin on the soft French roll. Au jus is not fatty and well complimented. The beer battered cod in the taco is fresh and bland just the way it should be. Squeeze the lemon wedge and enjoy. The truffled fries are really good. Portion is big and filling. Food came out relatively quick. Service is attentive and efficient. Recommended for a quick casino dining.

I come here often and everything I have ordered has been very good. I love that they start you with a bread starter. The service is usually good. I like that there is outside seating available and they even have restrooms inside of the restaurant.

Raspberry Chocolate Bombe

MAKE RESERVATIONS we arrived for dinner and waited 40 minutes for an opening but pleasantly surprised they offered a Valentine's Day dinner for two $85. Share an appetizer- we picked passion fruit shrimp cocktail which was 8 large poached shrimp with a passion fruit forward cocktail sauce and a charred lemon. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the charred lemon added a nice touch. We each picked an entree of the 2 offered - Ginger Glazed Wild Salmon and Grilled ribeye. The salmon was on top of couscous with baby grilled zucchini. The salmon had crispy skin and was fork tender just flaked right off and was very flavorful. The rib eye was grilled medium and covered in a peppercorn demi gravy that was so luxurious. I was half tempted to lick the plate. The pesto baby golden potatoes were like individual servings of mashed potatoes which paired nicely with the rib eye and charred asparagus. Share the dessert - Raspberry Chocolate Bombe- was expecting more chocolate than the 2 small heart shaped cookies which did not have a forward chocolate taste but more of a sugar cookie feel. The "bombe" was Raspberry ish mousse covered in a firm Raspberry jelly on top of a thin butter wafer/cookie with fresh strawberries and blueberries which were tossed in sugar. Every course was brought out timely and the presentation of each dish was exquisite. Everything was well seasoned and the appropriate temperature right down to the chilled plate and spoons for dessert. Plenty of seating and service was impeccable. Definitely will be returning WITH RESERVATIONS lesson learned.

Steak Frites

A nice sit down restaurant inside Sycuan casino. The windows reflect the surround mountain areas and the pool areas of the resort. The one downside here was the location of where our party sat. The sun was glaring onto our table. Unfortunately the shades were not functioning on this day so some of our party had to sit facing the sun the entire meal. The server that helped us was very good and friendly. For the most part we did enjoy our meal.

First AYCE plate. Each additional would only consist of 2 crab clusters at a time.

AYCE steamed snow crab legs at Viewpoint restaurant in Sycuan every Wednesday from noon to close. This promo started 18 June for $49.99. You start out with a basket of complimentary mini sourdough rolls. Then the first plate includes two crab clusters with a side of broccolini, mini baby potatoes, half corn on the cob, and half a roasted lemon. Sauces include melted butter, cocktail sauce, and mayonnaise. Additional plates exclude the veggies and you get two crab clusters each round on request. There was no line but we were given 25 minute wait time. We got the text to arrive and discovered a line of people who also received the 25 minute text. It must be on rotation, staffing or they want you to go play casino games. The snow crabs were sweet and semi easy to open. Tools were given but we brought our own kitchen sheers which made it quick and simple. I am crab out for now but definitely a place to be if you just want strictly crab. It's a full on restaurant so you can order from the menu noon to close. Abdoul was our server and made sure we were on repeat and each plate came out hot. We appreciate his service.

Been here a few times. This time was an anniversary breakfast (May) We were greeted and seated right away. We got coffee and the complimentary cornbread first. That cornbread is soft with a hint of sweetness. We ordered breakfast and it came to take fast(Monday morning not busy). Brien checked on us frequently and was great. The French toast bread was thick and had plenty of leftovers. My waffles were perfect and the sausage was tasty.

Outdoor casual seating

A hidden gem located in the Sycuan casino. My extended family loves Sycuan they're "Black" & "Diamond" members. So we were invited to try this restaurant and it was amazing! It's a beautiful restaurant, very light and bright, looked elegant but casual. We had a reservation for a party of 13. From the moment we sat down to the end of our meal, Nico our server was awesome! He was so friendly and efficient throughout. And there were other employees that would come to our table periodically to ask how we were doing. We ordered various menu items, I had the steak frites with chimichurri on side and truffle fries. Absolutely delicious! My 12 ounce ribeye steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare and the fries were nice and crisp. I literally could bathe in the chimichurri sauce it was so good, the best I've ever had. All the food was so visually appealing I wasn't able to take a lot of photos of the food-we were hypnotized lol. For dessert we shared banana splits, sorbets and parfaits and we left all satisfied. Also the Wilson Creek Almond Sparkling Wine (or champagne) they use for the mimosas is wonderful! I didn't even add any juice to it, great by itself. Overall, it was a great experience and I strongly recommend it for just casual enjoyment or for celebrations. You won't be disappointed.

"Menu offer" has passed. My husband & I ordered it & were not thrilled. BBQ Half Chicken was all breast with bbq sauce. The tarts were good.

The photo below, the date has already passed for this "menu offer." My husband and myself ordered it. We thought it was going to be a yummy half a chicken. It wasn't. It seemed to be compressed chicken with bbq sauce smeared on top. There was no leg or thigh bone. Was not what we expected and were disappointed. We let the manager know. The potatoe salad was not prepared as typical potatoe salad. Too crunchy. It supposedly had apples in it, but couldn't distinguish the apple cubes from the potatoe cubes. Wish we would have returned the entire dish. We had no compensation offered us. Only thing that was good about that dish, were the fruity berry tarts. Please note, food is not always as deceiving. It's pretty good. Especially their omelets and pancakes. Their breakfast cornbread is good, too!

Lobster and steak platter for brunch.  Minus the steak
Michelle M.

One of many Delicious restaurants intended the sycuan casino. This restaurant offers sit down meals with views of the pool and outside with its large massive windows. Not only are the food really yummy here, the staff is exceptional! I stayed at the hotel for my birthday and went here for brunch. The chef made a beautiful dessert for my bday. I like how they take the time to make you feel special.

Chilaquiles

Best service food was so delicious a must when you visit Sycuan will not be disappointed. Best cornbread I've ever had

Bowl of chowder
Mayra G.

The service, food and ambiance is always spot on at Viewpoint. I have never had a bad meal here and get really excited for any small bite or plate here. Today I had the bowl of chowder, it had a great amount of clams, cod and potatoes in it. It's so creamy, savory and comforting. Our server was so kind and agreed that they have the best food here in the entire resort, she went on to say they make all of it in house and do not use microwaves or anything like that which is so nice to hear.

French dip - a deal for $23 !
Scot U.

Really enjoyed the French Dip! A restaurant in the Sycuan Casino. Really enjoyed the French Dip one evening ...prime rib was flavorful as well as the au jus sauce. Lots of salad that came both it! 2nd evening i wasn't hungry so I had the shrimp cocktail for my dinner. Nice sized shrimp/ prawns with cocktail sauce - was enough for me! If you play at the casino and get a member player's card, be sure to give the card to the server when settling the check. With some accumulated playing points, you can get the meal price reduced from the points, as well as an overall discount! Some of the spa and hotel workers recommended this place...and sure glad my wife and I heeded their recommendations! Thumbs up!

The hubby and I stopped by for breakfast this morning and we are so glad we did. We've been here…read morebefore but I've never put in a review and Camryn was a standout today! She knows her stuff-knows how to ask the right questions so that you get what you really want. For instance, I was on the fence about having biscuits and gravy but I asked if the gravy was really peppery. She offered to get me a small taste and although it was delicious, I've been a little under the weather so I decided I didn't want anything really heavy. Instead I ordered the 3 egg scramble with their smoked ham and added cheese-it was really good and a huge serving including their potatoes and English muffin. I'll probably be able to make two more meals from this serving! My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and asked which potatoes they would be able to make the most crispy as we both like our potatoes crispy. She suggested the hash browns and even asked if he wanted them crispy on both sides which was a great way to get them the way he wanted. Those kinds of gestures really make the difference when you're dining out. The eggs Benedict and the hash browns were delicious, btw. :) Camryn had a great personality too-very friendly, bright and quick. She did a great job of checking in on all of her tables. When we go back I hope we are lucky enough to have Camryn serve us again but all of the servers seemed very friendly as well. Great job, Izzy's and Camryn!

I've made this my destination breakfast for birthdays, weekends, friends brunches. This was literally the spot. The last 3 times though.... A bummer. The first letdown... these cooks have a tendency to overload their scrambles with uncooked green onions. While it may be good for others, it's not good for me. So i will CONSISTENTLY ask for light green onions. The first let down... a waitress who has been there for a while.. tried to gaslight me into thinking that if I had asked for light green onions, it'd be "a laughable amount". I asked for it anyways and it came packed with green onions. She ate her words, apologized and discounted our breakfast. The second time, the same waitress... the same interaction... but this time it came with zero green onions. She came back and said "it's either all or nothing haha". That was unnecessary. The third time... asking a completely different waitress.... Completely different interaction. 30min later, the omlette comes out packed with green onions and the waitress ignores us for the duration of our stay. So no breakfast for me lol. I understand I'm the picky eater. But dang. I wanna waste the food and not a literal bunch of green onions from the prep bin. The one thing they seem to be consistent on is goofing up my order, so it's time to move on.

This was more than 5 years ago and I've been hooked ever since! They always have great food and service! I highly recommend their country fried steak as well as their fresh squeeze orange juice, but honestly, all the food I've eaten here has always been good. I also love watching the planes take off & land from the side. This place is perfect for families, foodies, and plane lovers in your life! They have plenty of seats & parking on a busy weekend afternoon. Thank you again for the great food & service.

On weekends you can expect some interesting planes to watch while eating. Personally, my go to is the country fried steak. This is one place that offers both hash browns and roasted potatoes. But their biscuits and gravy isn't my favorite. Great service and there is rarely a wait. Super dog friendly. It's quaint, friendly, and super fast. It is loud though with all the plane noise but you can always sit inside if noise is a thing...
