Not a bad place for food and drinks. Theres a great outdoor dining space with such a nice view. The food is decent and the service is decent. The atmosphere is nice and always some good music playing. We’ve been a few times and never been wowed, but also never been disappointed. It’s good enough for return visits.

If you like soft pretzels, get one here! Update 6 years later. Food amazing. Service outstanding. Gabby and Anna are awesome bartenders. Traveling for work and they totally made me feel like I was at home at my usual place.

Thank you to the staff and management on April 14, 2025 for making my birthday celebration magical! Jack (manager) and Meredith (server) made sure that I was treated to a special evening celebrating me! My steak dinner was delicious, the salmon soup appetizer was so thoughtfully prepared and that chocolate/peanut butter pie ...no words! The service was impeccable from start to finish with having a table that overlooked the mountains and all the staff stopping by to wish me happy birthday....even some of the clientele too! Truly remarkable....A+ I wholeheartedly recommend The View!

The view is like a home away from home, I’ve never had a bad experience there. The food and the staff are just the best. Nick ( the bar tender) is just one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is very good at his job and goes above and beyond to make sure your visit is a great one.

Came here on Sunday at the recommendation of a friend for the Sunday special - a discounted large, 3 topping pizza - and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The pizza (picture included) was delicious and the service was absolutely fantastic. The staff was pleasant, attentive, and did a wonderful job of making customers feel welcomed and appreciated. In particular, the server who handled my table (Chelsea) made sure to highlight standout menu options - had I not stuffed myself with pizza I would have most definitely ordered one of the many delicious dessert options she mentioned - and also pointed out the fantastic food/happy hour specials offered throughout the week. I will absolutely return for another visit and would most definitely encourage anyone reading this review to stop by The View as well.

We went there this morning to have a brunch, and it’s a little bit chilly out here. The view is pretty good we love the scenery! The service is wonderful: the waitress was very helpful and considerate. She brought me the drink menu and to help me to decide a drink with colorful color but without alcohol!I really appreciate her help and kindness. Besides, my friends and I had a wonderful time there and the cuisines there are good as well. It’s definitely a very good memory for me.

Based on a couple visits, this is a pretty good place to grab a good meal and enjoy a drink or two. I had a BBQ burger, which was good, but not great. My wife’s club sandwich was very good! The atmosphere is decent, but nothing that stands out. It could stand to have a theme of some sort. This is a fine place to go if you’re staying at the adjoining hotel or live nearby. It’s pretty good!!

First time and was super good. Stopped in for lunch. Service was good. The hush puppies had great flavor, special of the day was the BBQ pulled pork and my friend said it was really good. I had the smash burgers and they were awesome.
