5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2012

the food was beautifully presented, and everything was delicious. The bruschetta was the best I have ever had, even better than in Italy! The service was great. We had a table by the window with amazing views of the mountains and valley below. When we complimented the waitstaff about the food, she brought out the chef for us to meet... More

Servers were fine- only had a drink and dessert, it was really tired and old looking and the tables were jammed in so forget having a private conversation. The old feeling made it feel dirty. It just seemed worn out. Go on the tram, enjoy the view, skip the meal. More

Expensive, as all food and water must be taken upt the mountain by cable car, and all trash sent down the same way. A great date! The ambiance is amazing; a great place to have dinner and watch the valley darken. Reservations are a definite must! More

Take the tram, but save your money and get a meal when you get back down. The sights are great. The food was horrible. I ordered a Filet that was so chewy I am convinced it couldn't have been a Filet Mignon. The only thing that was any good was the salad. More

We decided to go up in the evening and eat at the Peaks to have a wonderful evening and meal with family from Canada. Love the tram ride and the view from the observatory area. The evening started out well but went from bad to worse. The bruchetta appetizer and chicken nachos were amazing. We got no view of from... More

We were greeted by friendly staff who were very attentive to our needs. Our food unfortunately was lacking. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt, being off season. I had a Mahi-Mahi sandwich. It consisted of about 2 ounces of fish and 2 ounces of breading. It was well seasoned and crisp, the lettuce leaf and tomato also fairly... More

Well, the food let a little to be desired, the steaks we had were very good, the sides and rolls were subpar at best, we had the whipped mashed potatos and green beans with bacon. The rolls were something you could get fromt he frozen section of the super market. The service was not very good. I figure if you're... More

Our server Chris was excellent, and other servers jumped in and waited on us even when there was no real need. We felt like King and Queen of the land. Cocktails were well made and a delight. We had Bruschetta for starters. Perhaps their could have been a bit more, but that's being picky. At our waiters suggestion we had... More
