Cielo
Description
Perched with scenic views and a classy, poolside atmosphere, this restaurant impresses with standout dishes—decadent desserts, expertly cooked steaks and seafood—and ample free parking, making it popular for lunches, events and functions. However, visits are hit-or-miss: service can be slow or inconsistent, orders delayed or substituted, and drink options sometimes limited; loud bar-level music can hamper conversation. Overall a stylish, mid-to-upscale spot best for special occasions if you can tolerate occasional service and inventory hiccups.

I attended a bridal shower here yesterday, and I must say the venue is absolutely stunning. However, the service was inconsistent due to the waiter and manager making promises that weren't fulfilled. I strongly recommend that people call ahead to inquire about drink options for the day, as you might be let down otherwise. To the owner: please consider increasing your alcohol stock.

After that, we waited an eternity for our food without any updates. When it finally arrived, we noticed that the pork riblets we had ordered were missing. Since no one checked on us, we were almost finished eating by the time we brought it up. Then we waited another 15 minutes for a response regarding the riblets, only to find out they had run out—information that should have been shared with us in advance. Instead, we were given chicken wings, as if that was a suitable substitute. Honestly, the milkshakes could use more attention too, but that’s a discussion for another time.

Whatever was going on in the restaurant seemed to take priority over us.
