Cliff's Steakhouse

This restaurant claims to be upscale but the interior, while not dilapidated, certainly does not align to that claim. The ambiance, combined with the overpriced food for the experience, led to an okay experience.

The best steak ever. My favorites are the porterhouse, endive salad, seafood platter and cheesecake. Excellent customer service. Friendly staff. I can't say anything else except that I wish I could eat here every day of my life :)

Thank you!!!

i wouldn't say the place is run down, but it's not what i would call elegant for the prices, which are VERY high. portions are small too, so if value is what you seek look elsewhere. there's a small dining area downstairs with a bar and a smaller, more private dining area upstairs which is usually reserved for large parties. Service is ok, parking is adequate.

the thing that bothers me about cliff's is that they essentially refuse to deliver a steak the way you want it. want it rare? they bring it out basically raw and let you cook it on a hot plate. want it well done? it comes out rare and you cook it on a hot plate at the table. you're left asking for a series of hot plates trying to manage heat and cook your food the way you like it. not sure if this is done intentionally as they think people like to sear meat at the table and bother waiters for plates, but for me it's annoying. just cook it how i want it and let me enjoy it. they always have a nice selection of daily specials, most of which are good. the crab cakes are excellent, as are the tiramisu and carrot cake desserts. they make their own grappa, which is ridiculously strong but excellent. definitely give it a try if that's your thing.

overall, i want to like cliff's, but i've never had such struggles getting a properly cooked steak at a steakhouse, and i can't get past that. if you can, or (as i do these days) you give them VERY specific instructions on how the steak should be brought to me at the table, it's a good place to dine. Just beware of the prices

Amazing steakhouse, tons of flavor & cooked just right! Crab cakes are good too.

Verry expensive for that food. Our Steak was not Medium like ordered. You have to cook self to medium on your hot plate, but in 3 minutes are the plates cold..... 70$ without wine, just a beer is too much!
