"Great place for lunch 🥙 dinner 🍽️ or a snack! Very scenic drive to get there and the name tells you everything about the view! Rachel was so friendly and helpful 😊 Also they’re not charging a surcharge to use your credit card 😁"

"Stopped in for a pre hike lunch as was suggested and everything was great. Our host/server was on it from the time we walked in the door til the time we walked out. We had a huge group and even while other guests were there we all still got our orders much faster than we had anticipated to. The food was amazing, definitely worth what we paid for. We ate inside but there is also an outside decc."

"Very nice and clever mountain vibe with great portions of well done food. Initially attentive server got distracted and also we wanted to sit outside on the patio but we’re denied although others subsequently were seated there. 😳 I’d still go back as it was a nice spot to stop on our motorcycle ride through the canyon."
