The Cliff House

The world-famous Cliff House is part of the Sutro Historic Landscape District and is also the crown jewel of the largest urban national park in the United States. Whether you are in the mood for a casual fun afternoon, an elegant evening out, or a play day with the family, there is always something to enjoy at the Cliff House. Dine in the 1909 neoclassical Cliff House where years of history have been brought back to life with the restoration completed in 2004. Magnificent views of Ocean Beach and Seal Rocks add to the historic ambiance, and if luck is with you, there will be some whales frolicking in the water right below your table. These gentle giants migrate north from Baja for the summer and the show is always impressive. Sutro’s is a stylish yet casual restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning panoramic ocean views. Housed in the Sutro Wing, the restaurant draws on the architecture of the Sutro Baths, recalling an era of elegance and grace. The rich history of the Sutro Baths combined with the modernistic appeal of the 21st century has established a fascinating connection between past and present. Since 1863 the Cliff House has been famous for fine food, excellent service, and unparalleled ocean views. There are very few meeting or special event venues that can offer historic charm and ambiance dating back to the turn of the century. With the restoration and renovations of 2003, the modern amenities that were added make the Terrace Room the perfect venue for every type of event.
