by smschley Since 1863, the Cliff House has been a gathering place for San Franciscans and their guests. Four different variations of this building have stood on the cliffs overlooking Seal Rocks, at the northwest corner of San Francisco. Two earlier versions were rather modestly small in size, especially when compared with the elaborate eight-story Victorian building, which stood on that spot from 1896 to 1907 as the third Cliff House. But when that ornate building burned down, the fourth version to be built was designed more like the first two, simple, and made to blend in with the ocean and cliffs surrounding it. That fourth version is still standing today. The National Park Service acquired the Cliff House in 1977, and today it is preserved as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. One thing all the Cliff Houses have in common is that they all offered breathtaking ocean views. From their windows you could see for miles down the coast, and watch any ships that might be sailing in or out of the Golden Gate. Regardless of which incarnation of the building a person was visiting, they always had a spectacular view. While the Cliff House is a wonderful find for visitors from around the world, the vast majority of its customers are local San Franciscans. Because of this reservations are recommended, especially for the brunch which only seats 140 people. Since the view is a large part of the experience I recommend going there for the Sunday brunch, lunch or an early dinner. These times also allows you time to stroll the beach area, which is a treat in itself. For us the food there is ok, nothing special and not worth the high price Leave a Comment

 Newly renovated Cliff House Restaurant by Jeannette1 The Cliff House Restaurant is a landmark in San Francisco. The view is superb and the restaurant has been recently completely renovated in a modern style. I have not eaten there since renovation but I did go inside and judging by the waiting list for the dining area, it must be pretty good !!

The Cliff house sits on the cliffs overlooking the Front beach. Often fog covers the coastline and creates a beautiful scene of seals, water and rocks . You can have a snack, coffee specialty or lunch and dinner. It's a busy place at times, depending on the time of year. The ride to get there is winding and right next to the Cliff House is Front beach. Waves pound the cosast here. On warm days the beach can be quite full but it's usually a pretty cold beach, Few people are in the water .
Cocktails! Forget the food and sit by the window and watch the Pacific! Theme: LocalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 1090 Point Lobos AveDirections: (where Geary Blvd. runs into the Pacific Ocean).

by keeweechic The Cliff House is a landmark in San francisco, has existed in various forms since 1863 and now houses three dining rooms and two bars. All have spectacular ocean views. .
The Seafood & Beverage Company is the most formal dining room and is great for Sunday brunch. Upstairs at the Cliff House there is a more informal atmosphere which is better suited for families.

We had a wonderful meal here during sunset. The maitre-d was extremely nice + seated us at a window even though we did not look as fancy as all the other diners. Very professional staff. The Cliff House is an entire complex with several restaurants and a Mechanical Museum which we missed because it had just closed for the evening. This is a protected site because of its history.
The vegetarian tofu entree I had was good, not great. It's really the view at sunset that makes it worth coming here.

by Kay_C The location is awesome overlooking the ocean. Nothing beats the sound of the waves crashing up against the rocks! The history of Cliff House is very interesting - I would have loved to have the seen the original which was built in 1863 and definitely fits the description of cliff house. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 365 days a year.
Great Breakfast and Sunday Brunch - try an omelette, they have 20 different kinds! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 1066 Point Lobos AveOther Contact: www.cliffhouse.com - great websi

The Cliff House restaurant is a nice place to eat and it provides beautiful views of the waves crashing into the rocks below. This part of the coast is wild and beautiful and is well worth the effort to get there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

My favorite reataurant in S.F. was the Cliff House. The Cliff House is situated on a small ridge of cliffs overlooking Seal Rock and a small beach. It has a nickel and dime arcade in the basement with many antique arcade games and novelties. Theme: OtherDirections: The CLiff House is located at: 1090 Point Lobos Ave in San Francisco.
