The Grandview Restaurant has exceeded all of our expectations. We went for my birthday and it was a really special occasion. We were able to sit on the patio with an amazing view of the South Bay. We were able to book a reservation right before sunrise so we had enough time to enjoy the sunlight and then watch the sunset during dinner. There are definitely some nice area for great memorable photos. We started off with drinks and the sangria was amazing. It was a great combination of sweets and fruity alcohol. We both ended up getting a second since it was so delicious. The food was so delicious and huge portions. I really enjoyed how my steak was cooked and it was so flavorful. My husband enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs as well. We ended getting sides to share with the potatoes and vegetables. It definitely got chilly once the sun had set, but they do have the heating lamps and that made it so nice. Our waiter and waitstaff were so amazing, they really made our dinner special. We'll definitely be back here when we get a chance!

Great restaurant away from the hustle and bustle with a great view. Food was pretty decent, but not great. Cocktails were amazing (Smoking Gun). Great place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to get away for an evening. It's a 15min drive up a twisty mountain from the main road (drink responsibly). Service was 5 star. He was very knowledgeable, funny, had good stories to share and accommodating. Forgot his name, but he was French.

TLDR: 5 star location. 5+ star view. 5+++ star staff. 5 star drinks. 4 star food. I went here for a romantic dinner with my girl. I reserved a table ahead of time asking for something with a view as I timed it to be at sunset. The night before the restaurant sent me a text asking if I'd like flowers to be on the table before we got there, and if I wanted a pre-chilled bottle of wine, or any other special accommodations. I have to say I honestly appreciated this and all the small details along the way, before and after we got there. When we arrived we were greeted and taken to our table, where we could sit beside each other and see the view as we watching the sun set. A dozen roses were on the table in a vase, and all the details were taken care of. The staff was amazing (thank you Kevin) the entire time, and the people seated next to us were also friendly and we had a few laughs with them. I loved the drink I had with their custom ice cube, and a big GV on it and how it was portioned on the cup with a cinnamon stick. Presentation was spot on, and added to the classy feel. I wanted to give a full 5 stars, as the food was presented amazingly well, it's all sourced locally (their farm is next door) and everything was spot on, but the flavors were meh. The Caesar salad had too much dressing on it and it wasn't very exciting. I had the swordfish, and it was cooked a bit too long and had the texture of a well down steak. My girl had the gnocchi, and while the gnocchi was cooked perfectly, the red sauce just wasn't exciting either. Over all, really impressed and is a place we will come back to!

Break out the fancy attire, bring your best attitude & please (for the LOVE OF GOD) leave the denim at home when coming to the Grandview. Oh, perhaps the most important, make sure you tip your servers when coming here. They are working harder than Kris Jenner. The views are insane & it is very worth the drive. It appears they have changed the menu; it was incredible. All the food & the hand crafted cocktails were as elegant as ambiance we were absorbing. The service was my favorite. Jonathan ate it up with the incredible recommendations from all our favorite drinks, to helping with my dish choice, & taking all our photos. Thanks, J! We also met Kristina, another server who was killing it the entire night, as well. The Grandview has a wonderful host of servers who are making it spectacular. So please ensure you're tipping well. Highly recommend this location for a special occasion. It is so fun.

I'll be honest--I came here for my anniversary with pretty low expectations, mainly for the view, but the food pleasantly surprised me. The steak tartare was outstanding--so tender, with crispy capers adding such a unique touch. We ordered the prime rib rare and it was still flavorful and well-prepared. The squid ink pasta, however, was a miss for me. It was overly sour and tart, likely due to the cherry tomatoes. The staff was incredibly kind and offered to remake it, but unfortunately, it still had that same sourness. Next time, I'd just skip it altogether and maybe try a cream based sauce. On a brighter note, the ahi tuna tacos were absolutely delicious and incredibly addicting--I could've eaten a whole plate of them. Overall, the experience exceeded my initial expectations, and the staff's attentiveness added to the positive impression. The view, of course, was stunning, but the standout dishes and warm service made the evening memorable.

Ambiance was pretty good, definitely set the mood. It was a bit cold so we decided to sit inside instead on outside. It's quite limited in the view itself of the city lights. Sitting outside would be the better choice if the view is what matters. Quick and attentive waiters and always willing to answer questions. Off to the food review! 4.3/5 - Poke nachos - I was questioning this at first as it doesn't fit the theme of the place. Boy was I wrong. Fish tasted fresh and the sauce matches it perfectly with some sweetness and acidity. On top of the perfect crunch from the taco shell. The leafy parts were not needed as it's just garnish. 4/5 - GrandView Prime rib - Very tender piece of meat with one piece of carrot and one piece. of veggies. Flavor was really good and the sauce and horseradish was quite decent. It doesn't beat house of prime rib, but damn still very good. Tender enough to almost cut with a fork 4/5 - GrandView Salmon - Surprised how well made this dish was. Salmon stuffed with blue crab and shrimp. The blue crab and salmon was the star of the dish with their flavors coming in beautifully together. Quite tender and perfectly cooked. Shrimps they used however was the tiny ones and didn't really add much and was just there 3.8/5 - Nino sangria and Lychee martini - Both were suggested to be their sweetest drinks but both felt alcohol heavy and only taste the alcohol. Good to get drunk but did not taste that good. 3.9/5 - Smashed Yukon potatoes - Got these to add to the steak. It tasted amazing with the truffle and butter goes perfectly well. Just wished they were smashed a bit more to add a crispiness and different texture. Just plain potatoes
