Upscale New American dining with panoramic valley views from cliffside terraces and intimate indoor spaces.
Perched on the red rock cliffs above St. George, this upscale-casual restaurant transforms dinner into theater. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the valley below, while the heated outdoor terrace lets you dine under desert stars year-round.
The New American menu balances familiar comfort with creative twists. Think coconut shrimp alongside four-cheese pasta with balsamic reduction, or perfectly grilled steaks paired with seasonal vegetables. The wine list complements the elevated fare, and cocktails are crafted with the same attention to detail as the food.
Service strikes the right note between attentive and unobtrusive. Servers know their menu inside and out (they'll walk you through every component of your dish) and aren't shy about making recommendations. The warm sourdough bread that starts each meal sets the tone for what's to come.
The setting makes every meal feel like a celebration, whether you're marking an anniversary or just treating yourself to something special. Reservations are essential on weekends, when locals and visitors alike compete for those coveted terrace tables. The drive up Red Canyon Drive is worth it for the views alone.
St. George sits perfectly between Zion National Park and other southern Utah adventures, making this an ideal spot to unwind after a day of hiking. It's the kind of place that reminds you why sometimes you need to slow down and savor the moment.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant. The views are amazing, yes. But the real star is the food and the service. We ate here twice over 3 days, because it is simply the best restaurant in town. Our server (both times) Izzy was incredible. Immediately recognized us and remembered our order.

I think the quality at the Cliffside has really improved in the last couple years. I would have given it a three if I rated it before, now I can heartily give a two thumbs up. The only caviot is that the two times I've been this year were for lunch, so I'm assuming you'll have the same great experience for dinner. I had the clam chowder and felt like I was enjoying soup on the east cost. The hummus appetizer was great. Of the six meals during my two visits (first visit with three friends and the second time with my husband), we all raved about our salads and/or meals.
