I've never been in the restaurant at the Cliff House. I've never been very interested in the place- of course, after I'd seen the grandeur of the Victorian Cliff House, the modern version seems totally uninteresting.
The
Musee Mecanique was housed in the basement of the Cliff house a few years ago and I visited it a couple of times there. The new location at Fisherman's Wharf is *much* more accessible.
We certainly could do drinks or dinner at the Cliff House, though. I'm always interested in trying out things.
