Cliff House Dining Room

Even with reservations, we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated despite tables being obviously available. We ordered their crab cake as an appetizer which was the best thing served on the night. My guest had the Chicken entree and she noted it was bland and unimpressive. I ordered the Elk Chop with beans and found it to be incredibly chewy. The service was poor. Our waiter was nice enough but he was gone for large stretches of the evening and not at all attentive. We declined dessert because of the underwhelming experience.

Awesome experience! Food and service was fantastic. Had a classical guitarist playing throughout the evening. It made the setting even more serene and romantic! One table got a little loud at moments but not to overboard. Just having a great time.

Everything was wonderful. The trout was delicious and cooked to perfection. And the pistachio chocolate cake was out of this world. They also serve and amuse-bouche which was a delicious potato, prosciutto cake with whipped white truffle butter on top, delicious! The service was amazing, kind, and attentive. Highly recommend!

Very amazing experience. Food was prepared to perfection and the staff was amazing. They let a meat bag like myself enjoy fine dining. I dropped the ball and looked like a bum but they treated me like a king. Elk chopps with beans , carrots and sausage. AMAZING! The structure was built in 1870, older than the state it resides in. Defentily another tab on the bucket list for places to revisit and get the full experience. Will not forget this meal. Made the top 10 on my personal greatest meal list.

Solid food choices while staying in Manitou. We had the breakfast vouchers, which are a great value. Their breakfast food is excellent. We also enjoyed dinner and their $20 Prime dinner special was a great value. My mom had the Coq Au Vin and loved it. The rich history is also worth diving into with both contemporary and classic guests over America's rich history.
