Cliff House of Folsom - American restaurant in Folsom - 9900 Greenback Ln, USA

Monday night was our first time here, even though family still lives in the area, and it was worth it! We started off with our drinks and the coconut shrimp. You must have this shrimp app, nice and crunchy, and flavorful as well as a wonderful cocktail sauce that had some berry flavors. We drank house red, beer, and tea amongst our party, and all were satisfied. All 3 in our party chose the grilled salmon with risotto and green beans with mushrooms and onions. We had an absolutely wonderful meal on the patio deck with a view of the American River, right at sunset, with it just slipping below the horizon. There was a nice breeze blowing, just enough to cool us down from the hot day. Our timing couldn't have been better for the after sunset colors since there was a cloud formation to the east, and we got some fabulous shots! Our server, Melanie, was just the right amount of attentiveness - there when we needed her and promptly with our order, but never hovering. A wonderful experience!

First one in on a Sunday evening. Greeted and seated right away. Obviously the setting is nice overlooking river and bridge. Food was good only the molten lava cake was below par for us. As fans and having some of the best from all over the cake itself seemed preorder or previously frozen. But it works for most and looks amazing. Jumbalya, fish and kids were good cannot complain. Will be back! The outdoor plastic chairs could use an upgrade. Like steel or something other.

Great setting and views. We were a party of 4 and ordered beverages (beer, wine, cocktails) and appetizers to start. The bruschetta and hummus platter were very tasty. Everyone else were happy with their dinners but my paella was really disappointing. Tomato-pasty rice with overcooked shrimp and spicy sausage. The service was really lacking and I had to chase down someone to get our check and again to pay. They said they weren’t short-handed which means they try and provide service with a skeleton crew.

The food here was really good! My friends and I ordered a French dip, steak and mashed potatoes, chicken saltimbocca, clam chowder, starter salad with apples, and artichoke dip. Everything was verrry good and our service was great!

Great views, dined on the deck, quality food for a good price. Margaritas are ok. Full bar, easy parking, and friendly staff. Really enjoyed our evening. Definitely coming back.

Really enjoyed it here! Location is great overlooking the American river. We came in with a party of 13 and the only messed up one order, which was quickly taken back and fixed. Appetizers were delicious, and paella that I got was very well prepared. In house beers were pretty average but still overall it was a great experience.

The food was delicious. We had the Shrimp Louie Salad, with a cup of Clam Chowder. We had the lettice wraps for an appetizer. The views of Folsom Lake were breathtaking!

We hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner, and it could not have gone any better. The back room was set up beautifully, which has a spectacular view of the American River. The bar service, appetizers, and dinner service were all excellent. Special shout outs to Keith the Event Manager, and Dustin the lead server for the night. Thank you for making this a special night!
