I was really impressed with this place. We sat outside, and the view was absolutely great, such a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. I was really surprised with their signature cocktails they were delicious. Service was exactly what you’d expect from a place of this caliber, professional and attentive with no complaints at all. What really surprised me was how fast the food came out after we ordered. It was almost immediate, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Well definitely be coming back.
Great dinner experience. Love the exterior and interior design, feels like some wealthy English place. Prime rib was delicious! The corn was great too. Excellent service. Must go if you are celebrating anniversaries or birthdays.
We celebrated our mom's 50th Birthday in the Tavern Patio (private & intimate) and it was AMAZING — From touring the restaurant & booking, to the day of the dinner celebration. I want to thank Yesenia for her great communication and professionalism as the Private Party Specialist. I also want to thank Shannon, Linda, Andres, and Mario for taking care of our family & friends during the dinner service and going above and beyond making sure everyone had a good time. We look forward to another enjoyable evening at the Summit!
We’ve been here a few times and we’re happy to report that the food and the service are top notch and very consistent. The restaurant itself is well maintained and cozy. Perfect for any date night or gathering. We always bring a nice bottle or two to go with the amazing food.
Went back to the Summit House for a nice Sunday dinner and had a Great time. Prime Rib was delicious, Michelle was Fantastic and the views were relaxing.
Tender prime rib and lamb chops!!! Karen helped us out tonight and she was lovely!!!!!!! Thank you very much Karen! Scallops are a must & dip it with the fresh warm bread. Love how the prime rib comes with creamed corn and spinach - don’t have to pick between the 2! And it comes with a big dollop of horseradish yum! My second time here and will be definitely coming back for more!
We had try the Summit House Restaurant. We heard great things about this place and had to go there. We had some scallops, steak dishes and desert. The food was amazing and savored every bite. I can not wait to go back there again.
Great food, great ambiance, and stellar customer service. They are known for the Roast Prime Ribs, but honestly… everything is great. I usually get the Summit House cut and it never disappoints. They serve it with cream of corn and it’s delicious. We tend to start dinner with a salad, followed by scallops as appetizers and then the main dishes. Customer service never lets down. The views are spectacular by the way. Try to sit by the windows for a spectacular view of the City.
