Watch SoCal Restaurants Sway Back and Forth During Earthquakes - Eater LA

"On July 5, the CEO of Truepic captured the second quake while dining at Cielo in Morongo Casino. Jeffrey McGregor had enough presence of mind to take out his phone while the entire restaurant swayed back and forth. Cielo is on the 27th floor of the Cabazon casino, about a twenty minute drive away from Palm Springs. Staff closed Cielo right after the quake." - Mona Holmes

Incredible Steak If you're on the hunt for an unforgettable steak experience, look no further than Cielo. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and pleasant ambience with a pianist. We knew it was going to be an enjoyable evening. The steak was exceptional, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise, with seasoning that enhanced the natural taste rather than overpowering it. No need for a sauce here! The rack of lamb was nice and lean. No worry of getting a fatty lamb chop here. The portions were generous, ensuring that no one leaves feeling underwhelmed or hungry. I also want to highlight Kevin, our server, who not only took great care of us but also delivered an impressive presentation of our “Smokey Cocktail”. On his recommendation, I tried the vanilla lemon drop cocktail, which was refreshing and vibrant.

Wonderful dining experience, make sure to take your players card to get a discount on the check, the service is top notch, the food is delicious and the restaurant is beautifully decorated and located at the top of the Morongo Tower. We ordered steaks and shrimp with a few side dishes, the coffee was perfect and then we made it to the dessert, ordered creme brulee, butter cake and a creme puff drizzled with chocolate. We recommend this for a great place to have a wonderful time. Oh, by the way, the lady pianist played super nice music and sang a few songs, really made our dinner more memorable. Thank you for reading my review.

I recently visited this place and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The service was top-notch, with waiters who were incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was also delicious, with the bread being a standout. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend this place.

The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The only downside was that we didn't get to use our club card for a discount, which would've been significant, considering the cost. Other than that, everything was so nice.

Fantastic atmosphere, the pianist was phenomenal and the food was top notch. I was slightly disappointed with our service. I was served an Argentinian Malbec in a white wine glass which others at the table had for their white wine too; when I asked about it the server retrieved a Cabernet glass and poured my wine into it and splashed it onto the white tablecloth. This was close to the Bordeaux style and it was sufficient. I’d recommend this restaurant to friends or family.

I've been dying to come check this place out and although I didn't absolutely love it, it was a nice experience. The food was good but I've had better. You definitely come for the experience. They had a lady playing the piano, which was nice. The service was excellent. Everyone was on point! We had a party of 10, and everything went off without a glitch. I think I would have enjoyed this place more had I gone with just my husband. Perfect date night spot!

Amazing view! Amazing food! Great service! Great price! I would like to add that the views are spectacular out the windows while you eat there service is above and beyond. They really take care of you. Make you happy serve you as quick as possible. If you make reservations, you'd be surprised how quick you could get in and eat and get out But the atmosphere is really good plus the bathrooms are clean and that's one of the things that I really look for in restaurants. If you have a dirty bathroom, you have a dirty kitchen. This place has not only a clean kitchen but clean bathrooms.

If you're in the area you have to go this place! I came here for my 10 year anniversary and this was my overall review: - let's begin with the service. Everyone was so nice and very friendly. Big smiles on everyone's face and our server gave out excellent recommendations! I would highly recommend making a reservation. This place gets filled fast! - The restaurant is located at the top of Morango Casino. Big tall windows that makes the few beautiful for sunset! ( we came around dark time and it was still nice to see the view with the lights. It's two stories btw! There's also a piano in the middle on the main floor which was giving "elegance" . There wasn't anyone playing while we were dining but I can only imagine with the acoustics how beautiful it would be. - Food: this is a seafood steakhouse and we decided to stick to trying their seafood. ( they had a real good deal on the tomahawk.) we started off with a Riesling wine and a Modelo. Make sure you get the bread ( served warm ), calamari ( great flavor on the breading) , crab cakes ( nice size and the crab was very tasty) . We also had the lobster bisque ( it was okay, few pieces of lobster inside of it). For the entrées, we had the seafood Alfredo pasta, and the Chilean Seabass. Both I will definitely recommend getting great flavor amazing texture on all the seafood.

The dinner was fantastic. The steak and shrimp were good as were the mashed potatoes and asparagus. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine. The service was good. Although they were out of the wine we originally wanted they offered us a similar bottle and comped the difference in price. The decor is very luxurious with tile and large crystal chandeliers accompanying floor to ceiling windows on the 27th floor.

I have eaten here at the bar, for a full meat centric meal, and on my latest trip, an assortment of appetizers and sides. Every time, no matter how big or small the party, the service and food have been stellar. Gorgeous room with a view if you get here before sunset, and later in the evening the huge chandeliers make it a very classically beautiful space. We started with a Caesar which was surprisingly topped with my favorite, white anchovies! The fried calamari with shisito peppers was tender, crunchy and perfect. The buttered mushroom side was a generous serving and very rich with a nice variety of mushrooms. I loved the asparagus, big thick stalks, cooked just enough to be tender. I've eaten their steaks and chops, but tried their steak tartare this time. Handcut quality meat with plenty of cornichons a raw quail egg, but under seasoned. I asked for a side of Dijon which I mixed in and it helped tremendously. The toasted bread on the side was delicious. They carry élit vodka, so I had a nice dirty martini that capped off the evening.

Really enjoyed my dinner! Ordered the wedge, filet, and shrimp! It was VERY good. Jacob provided great service and made sure we made our concert time. Sat high above the desert you have great views, live music and an upscale experience. Only draw back was main entrees took a bit of time. Come to think of it - I ordered a twice baked potato as well but I never got it. Maybe because I rushed the meal. This was a very good choice for dinner and would come back.

It was our first time in Cielo and we had overall a great experience. They had a piano player which created a nice atmosphere. For food we had the tomahawk steak for two, lobster bisque and bread. The bread was good but could of used more garlic. The lobster bisque was tasty and did go well with the bread. Tomahawk was perfectly cooked and enough to feed the two of us. We also brought our champagne and corkage fee was 35. Our waitress was Shawn and she was enthusiastic and charming. The only complaint I have is that the outside windows should be cleaned, so people can enjoy the views better.

Our experience at Cielo was amazing! We came for my husband's birthday. we had a reservation and they called us to confirm in advance. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, they have a tomahawk steak for two deal where you get a tomahawk steak, two sides, and two salads for $180. Overall, the food was amazing! We love the tomahawk steak and thought the mashed potatoes were divine! I'm excited to come back and try some of the other things on the menu that I didn't get to experience that night. They even gave us a complimentary dessert for his birthday! So cute! The space is so elegant, and we felt like we were in such a high scale location. I wish we dressed up more! Our servers were Enrique and Jose. They were both so kind and so accommodating. Even the manager stopped by at our table to check in on how we were doing. The service here is five stars! If you're a Morongo rewards member, you get 10% off your entire bill and the tomahawk steak special included! Make sure to get your member card on the first floor. We unfortunately were misinformed that having the mobile app was enough. Unfortunately, they need your member card to give the 10% off. However, our server, Enrique, was able to get approval to give us the 10% off anyways. We did not ask this and they did it on their own. Such amazing service.

If you are looking for a romantic, exquisite and flavorful meal as we were, celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary, look no further, Cielo is your place! The restaurant is located atop of the Morongo Casino closely located off the 10 fwy. Take the Morongo Trail exit to the Apache Trail roundabout take the 4th exit on to the roundabout to Seminole roundabout take the 1st exit off the roundabout go left on Canyon View Rd then another left on Tumbleweed Rd the valet parking is to the right. For other parking follow the posted signs. Cielo provided everything we wanted and more, definitely exceeding our expectations! Beginning with the personal welcoming from the check-in hostess, to the romantic ambient entertainment by Marisa Corvo, with a beautiful mountainous background on the 22nd floor, to the caring roving manager politely checking ensuring our dinner was prepared to our liking, to Chef Jeremy who visited us to check on our liking of the meal he had prepared, to our awesome, awesome waitress Jeanette who was the best waitress we had ever experienced. We could not have had a more perfect night, well except if someone drove us home as we travelled an hour and a half to get there LOL! However we did feel that we were special people. Looking around I observed the same treatment to all which showed me that this treatment was genuine and sincere for everyone. Even though it sounds like a lot of checking on us it was all done in a professional, caring and non interrupting way. Jeanette took our full order so she could have everything ready to come out to us as we enjoyingly moved through our meal. I started with the fresh oysters on the half shell from Canada which were so flavorful and meaty! Paired with a perfect red wine (Silk & Spice from Portugal). My wife had the mild garlic flavored Parkerhouse dinner rolls which were soft and warm! We both moved on to the Grilled Peach Salad which blew our minds!!! The pairing of the grilled peaches with the boursin cheese and avocado was.. I can't explain how good this salad was! My wife's main course was a huge filet which was cooked perfectly matching what she asked for, with a side of sautéed onions and mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes. She paired it with a flavorful iced tea! LOL!! My main course was the gigantic perfectly prepared Bone In Ribeye with a side of sautéed onions & mushrooms, Bernaise dipping sauce, 2 huge meaty King Crab Legs and another glass of Silk and Spice wine. Janette ensured our steaks were cooked exactly to our request by having us check them in the middle of the steak as she stood by. I ordered another Silk and Spice, yes it was number three! It was sooooo good! We finished off our meal with a surprise chef desert cream puff stuffed with vanilla ice cream, perfectly prepared Creme Brûlée which was the biggest we had ever seen! Butter Cake that was so creamy, buttery and not too sweet. As I expressed previously it was a perfect night and a big thank you to all the staff at Cielo for providing that for us. I HIGHLY recommend you make your next special meal at Cielo located at the top of the Morongo Casino.

What an amazing experience from start to finish! Walking in a very classy 5 star restaurant. You're greeted by every employee walking through the restaurant. Two lovely girls at the hostess both, the server was amazing. The beautiful sight of the city is breathtaking. Now the FOOD! Let me tell you. This dish I ordered was by far one of the best meals I've ever had. Had loads of seafood in a tomato broth, thick like a stew with a to die for slice of bread to dip. Definitely recommend this! This place a little on the more fancy and pricey side but totally worth it. Great for special dates. Can't wait to return.

Dinner was delicious, the view was amazing and services was fantastic. My husband and I decided to get the tomahawk special for two. Tomahawk was cook. Perfectly medium is what we like it. The temperature to be. We also had amazing side dishes, asparagus, and loaded mashed potatoes. Our servers were amazing very tentative and always willing to make some suggestions. Now I can't ever have a Caesar salad without balsamic dressing.game changer. We will definitely be coming back in the future

The views and the ambiance of this roof top restaurant are incredible! We came here recently to celebrate a friend's graduation. I definitely would try something new next time I come back. Selection: While the menu had many mouth watering signatures, keep in mind that this is a steakhouse. We started off with Steak Tartare, which was fun to eat. I wish the quail egg wasn't hard boiled though, it needed the yolk to add some creaminess. We chose the Kansas City Strip Steak and added smothered mushrooms and onions to enhance it. I'm not sure if that was the best choice because I wasn't a huge fan of the flavors. Also I might go with a filet mignon instead because I really wanted a softer bite. We got lobster Mac as a side with truffle and honestly it was least favorite. It was not very creamy and really sweet almost like sweet potatoes. The broccoli had great flavor, I love anything with tossed in garlic. It was just a bit chewy. Finally, the Pan-seared Scottish Salmon was my absolute favorite. The enoki mushrooms were super tender and the sauce that was on the coconut ginger sauce that was on the soba noodles was absolutely delightful. The salmon was skin on, something I prefer because I love the skin and it really complimented the ginger sauce that was on it. Overall it was great experience, felt a bit rushed, but the servers never left our water glasses empty.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! I am not a big meat eater, but hot damme the tomahawk killed it!!! We got the 2 person special, with 2 salads, 2 sides and the big o daddy of a meat! The meat was soooooo soft and juicy, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The shrimp with the sauce was killer! We had a desert which was the vanilla cake, cheese cake, ice cream on top with raspberry drizzle. The service provided by Juan made us feel welcomed. He did an outstanding job!

The waiters and the staff are incredible, but the food is not good at all, no flavor! It's like they have no salt in the back. $300 dinner including tip not worth it at all. :( The Caesar salad I don't know how to describe it.... The croutons are not real croutons It's bread that they make in the back, but it's not good. The onion soup the cheese has no flavor it's like already chewed gum. It looks amazing but it's not taste wise. The bone in rib eye looks like it's gonna be good, but then you bite into it and there's no flavor at all.

So my husband has driven by the Morongo Casino for years and always wanted to try this restaurant because it sits at the top of the casino. So we decided to have a date night and check it out. We made reservations for 9:00 pm but thought we would go early to see if they could squeeze us in. Thankfully they were able to get us in at 6:30. Nice.... The ambiance is very nice. It's cozy with an upscale feel. We were able to sit on the second floor near a window. Our server was very good. He's been with the casino for about 15 years. He explained the menu and answered all of our questions. My hubby had the Pan seared Chilean Sea Bass and I had the Tradition Shrimp Scampi. Everything was delicious. We were celebrating a late anniversary dinner so they brought us out a cute dessert to help celebrate. Everything was above notch and the experience was delectable. I will definitely come back.

Cielo was an amazing experience. You start off by taking an elevator up to the 26th or 26th floor. As soon as you exit the elevator you notice a beautiful entrance with a bottle of Louis XIII. As you enter the restaurant you notice the floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking views. Once seated, I noticed the giant windows on both sides of the restaurant so you can take in views from both sides. The waiter and his assistant were very prompt and professional. Started off the water and bread service. Not long after we were seated the piano player began playing with slowed down renditions of popular songs. I then ordered the surf and turf and my wife ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. The Filet Mignon was huge and soft as butter. One of the best filets I've had. The only thing I didn't care for was the wine reduction sauce and name served with the steak. They were both too sweet for my liking and the filet would have been better with a cognac sauce, butter and herb or chimichurri to pair with. My wife enjoyed her sea bass, but again the sauce was too sweet. When our food arrived many items were lukewarm warm. If it weren't for the sauces and lukewarm food they definitely would have received 5 stars. The service and ambience were so excellent. Everything is a la carte. For the price I still prefer Maestro's, Morton's or Ruth's Chris.

I've never had such delectable and delicious food. I would highly recommend. The service was incredible and it is just a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back- we had the salmon and steak and it was 100000/10. Yum yum yum!! Thank you Shawna and Cielo team for such an incredible experience and wonderful food!

Cielo, which is located on the top (27th floor) of Casino Morango in Cabazon has a gorgeous view of the desert and delicious food! The service was also outstanding: I highly recommend Jeanette as your waitress - she is outstanding! We started with the calamari and Shishito pepper appetizer which was fantastic - I really liked the dipping sauce. Then we got filets: The steaks were perfectly cooked medium rare. We shared a side of the Mexican corn which was zesty and super tasty. I'd recommend getting the trio of sauces although the peppercorn sauce is more sweet than zesty. For dessert we ordered the butter cake which was a little dry. We also got a brownie for our anniversary which was nice!

We had dinner at Cielo this weekend while staying at Morongo Casino. We had dined here once before, 2 years ago when celebrating my husband's birthday, and had such an amazing meal, that this year we decided to come back and celebrate his birthday here again. We are not gamblers at all, and have no interest in casinos, but our previous meal and the relaxing and romantic ambiance here was the only reason we came back to Morongo after debating between here and another hotel in the desert. Our server was great. We ordered wine, but he came back to tell us they didn't have the one we wanted. We then ordered another wine, and they also didn't have it. Our server was very helpful, giving us a sample of a couple of different wines until we decided on one. We started with a wedge salad, Maple and Honey Baked Brie for an appetizer - sweet, different, but pretty good, and French Onion Soup - very filling, very rich, and very cheesy. We also ordered the bone marrow which had absolutely no flavor at all. For our side we had mushrooms, and for our entrees, I had the New York Strip Steak - dry and overcooked, and my husband ordered the Kansas City Strip Steak because he had never tried one before. It was inedible. He had to spit it out because he could not chew it. We told the manager about this and he said that this cut of meat was "usually like that". Then why have it on the menu? To be fair, my husband's steak was removed from our bill, which we appreciated, but our (expensive) meal was such a disappointment that we decided not to return to Morongo.

Enrique, our server, was incredible. He truly made the whole experience. So incredibly charismatic, thoughtful and considerate. The recommendations he made and the care he took to make sure everything was perfect, was above and beyond. He took the time to connect and get to know us which meant so much considering he was working, away from his family, on Christmas Eve. The food and drinks, of course, were incredible!! 5 stars isn't enough! Thank you Enrique, blessings from Hawaii! A hui hou

Great experience at Cielo's. Enrique, our server, was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. He made the effort to get to know us & made our Christmas Eve dinner delightful and special. I don't know what this man is making, but it isn't enough!! Also the Chilean sea bass is fire and the calamari is the best I've ever had. 5 stars isn't enough!

We came here for our 50th wedding anniversary with my mom. Overall the food was close to 5 stars. The best being the bread, amazing oysters Rockefeller , rack of lamb, creamed spinach, and cheesecake. We would order these again. The steak was good but we prefer Ruth Chris with the sizzling butter plate. We would skip the lemon drop and twice cooked potato. The reason for the four stars is because of their ordering policy. Be prepared to order your entire meal the minute you sit down or you will not even get one slice of bread with your cocktails! This is the second restaurant where we have recently run into this annoying policy! Bar Ceil in Palm Springs told us the same thing! We were so agitated when we first sat down that it almost ruined our whole experience! Mom needs some bread while she drinks her cocktail or she gets drunk and we like to study the menu while we drink our cocktail. It's not possible here.

Came here to eat before we saw a show at the casino. It was a nice meal, the decor is classy and the giant windows were lovely. We didn't have a reservation so they sat us at the bar. The tables were empty for a solid hour and I feel like they could have offered a table and requested we be done at a certain time, because honestly the dining room was E-M-P-T-Y for over an hour. The food here is very expensive. Eating a meal that costs that much money at a bar was not a thoroughly enjoyable experience, so make a reservation. Also, the portion on the scallops my friend got was pretty sad, four scallops for nearly $40 dollar. The markup was high for being a casino restaurant. The drinks were pricey and I had two and didn't even catch a buzz (I'm a light weight). So the drinks were pretty sad as well. I had the chicken dish which was very good, and they had a few gluten free options. The portion of the chicken was plenty and I gave some to my friend to supplement her tiny scallop dinner. The place was OK, not great, not bad. I think they take themselves a bit seriously and the bar needs to pour actual alcohol for a $20 cocktail, I don't want to pay $20 for juice which is what I got. I'd say skip it there's better meals for the price point.

We were a group of 12, went down from the valley to the desert, we went to the casino for 2 days of fun! First night we all went to see Howie Mandel and we had a casita , so we had platers of Brent's deli brought down with us, since we all came at different times, but we all knew we loved deli, but planned a dinner for all the next day at Cielo! We were seated in the middle at a giant table that fit all, now this restaurant is on the top floor with some incredible views. We started with 3 seafood towers fresh,lobster, king, crab legs, oysters, jumbo shrimp. Very fresh what a snap on the on the shrimp! I had chilean Seabass as an entrée, amazing! My wife had a petite filet mignon. The sides , asparagus, mashed potatoes, corn and more. Definitely worth the stop, great atmosphere , great service.

Had a wonderful meal here last night. This steakhouse was on par with all the other high-end steakhouses I go to. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was superior. There was a piano player that really added to the atmosphere and she was so good. The chandeliers and the mirrors and the windows made the restaurant beautiful I would definitely recommend this place to people and go back again.

We were here on Saturday night for my Dad's 80th birthday. We were a large group (party of 12). First the positive. The restaurant is beautiful, perched on the 27th floor of the resort with stunning mountain views out of two sides of the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant also looks very nice, fitting for the upscale steakhouse this is meant to be. Service was okay. There were times when a lot of time went by without anyone checking on us. We had a pretty early seating (5:30PM), and the restaurant was not full, maybe they are understaffed. I will give the food overall a 3.5/5. Seafood Tower - 3.5/5: Good mixture of shellfish (oysters, lobster, snow crab claws, king crab legs, shrimp). A bit pricey ($360 includes a bottle of a California chardonnay from the Santa Barbara region) for what you get. French Onion Soup - 4/5: Very good, if you like rich soups like I do. Steak - 2/5: My wife, daughter and I split 2 steaks, a Kansas City strip and a bone-in Ribeye. Biggest issue with both is that the meat is pretty bland for a Steakhouse of this level. Just not enough meat flavor to either cut. We did ask for salt/seasoning but wish the meats themselves were better. The BAD: I saw that this restaurant had received the Wine Spectator Grand Award, which I know is not that easy to receive. However... We had a total of 6 bottles of wine with dinner (2 chardonnays that came with the 2 seafood towers, 2 bottles of zinfandel and 2 bottles of cabernet sauvignon). For the cabernet, I ordered the 2016 Heitz (Napa Valley). On the wine list, the price was $128 per bottle (pretty reasonable for this bottle). When the server brought it out, he went out of his way to ask if we wanted this bottle for $250 per bottle. What??? Exact same bottle, mind you, as what was listed on the menu (2016 Napa). When I pointed out the price difference, he said maybe the wine list was "outdated" and he would ask the manager. When the manager came, he said the list was outdated but if we wanted, we could have for $135/bottle. I said yes, but really, you really want to treat customers this way for an extra $7 per bottle? Really unprofessional of the restaurant to try to sell a bottle listed at $128 for $250. Needless to say, overall experience of the meal was great given we were there for a celebration, but I was really disappointed by Cielo itself.

This is a great place truly (te lleva al cielo) we ordered the LOBSTER & CRAB CAKE & the FILET MIGNON with the Sautéed asparagus & creamy cheese, mashed potatoes everything was amazing very delicious loved the way they ask you to cut your steak in the middle to verify perfect temperature that was great. Service is amazing very friendly and attentive the vibe is very relaxed and views are great definitely will be coming back to try more items on the menu.

This restaurant was amazing. Let's start with the service. We were greeted with so much love and kindness. Everyone was so welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. Our server Enrique explained the menu to us and gave us a precise time for cook time for steaks etc. The food was amazing! The pianist song a beautiful selection of songs and played the piano elegantly. Mind you, I celebrated my B'Earthday here. I was given a complementary desert. In addition, we ordered the warm butter cake which was fire. We were reluctant to coming here because some of the reviews. Which goes to show you you can't go by someone else's opinion. Our experience was pure bliss and we plan to return very soon. Thanks to the whole staff for making my special day truly special.

We recently dined at Cielo Restaurant located on the 27th floor of Morongo Casino, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the breathtaking views that accompanied our meal. From the moment we arrived, Jeanette, our server, impressed us with her knowledge and attentiveness. She expertly guided us through the menu, recommending the best specials of the night. We indulged in the tomahawk special, complete with creamy mashed potatoes, butter-poached shrimp, garlic asparagus, and a wedge salad drizzled with a delectable creamy blue cheese dressing. Each dish was executed to perfection, leaving us craving more. And let's not forget about dessert - the brown butter bread with whiskey sauce was the perfect ending to our meal. Jeanette also helped us select a fantastic bottle of wine, further enhancing our dining experience. Her impeccable service truly made our evening memorable, and we can't wait to return for the exceptional food, stunning ambiance, and, of course, to see Jeanette again. Cielo Restaurant at Morongo Casino has undoubtedly earned a spot on our list of favorite dining destinations. Cheers! - Daniel

The receptionist was very welcoming. The server also checked up on us and the view was very was amazing. Recommendable and memorable dinner with my love. The Steak was worth the wait and I mean it. I took them a while but it was on point. The lobster was also delicious from the small bite I stole from my wife's plate.

I am writing to express my disappointment with the experience my spouse and I had at Cielo on Thursday April 25 night. While the meal and drinks were undeniably delicious, unfortunately, our overall experience was marred by an incident that occurred at the bar. We witnessed what appeared to be a heated argument between the restaurant manager, whom we believe is named Driego, and two hostesses. The argument seemed to revolve around various tasks, including menu management and cleanliness, and escalated to the point where it made us and other patrons extremely uncomfortable. As the argument continued, voices grew louder, and despite attempts to de-escalate the situation, it persisted. My spouse eventually approached Driego to express our discomfort, to which he responded briefly, assuring us that it wouldn't happen again. However, his demeanor came across as dismissive, and it was evident that one of the hostesses was visibly upset following the encounter. It was disheartening to see the hostesses, who initially appeared welcoming and professional, visibly affected by the situation. Despite their obvious distress, they continued to power through their duties, greeting new customers with forced smiles. I want to reiterate that the quality of the food and drinks was exceptional, but unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of what we expected from Morongo. We were looking forward to our first night here and our first dining experience at Cielo, but regrettably, this incident has left a bitter taste in our mouths. I hope that by bringing this matter to your attention, steps can be taken to ensure that such incidents are addressed promptly and effectively in the future. As patrons, we value not only the quality of the offerings but also the atmosphere and professionalism of the staff. Thank you for taking the time to read our feedback. We sincerely hope that our concerns are taken into consideration to improve the overall experience for future guests.

We enjoyed a very nice brunch with Chris Carter of KLOS Breakfast with the Beatles. Had an awesome time with great music, great trivia with awesome prizes and a brunch that was very good. With a Strawberry Fields Forever Salad, omelet bar, bagel station, eggs, bacon, and some very cool desserts how can you miss? The view itself from the 27th floor was breathtaking. For those who want a romantic date night set your reservations for sunset it will literally take your breath away. KLOS is planning to come back to Morongo every month, worth the trip.

OMG best way to end your birthday weekend! After two days of gambling it was nice to relax listen to a pianist and eat great food. We were brought out fresh bread white and brown with some sort of mix in there. It was good We ordered shrimp appetizers with mashed potatoes ( I added salt and black pepper to taste) the appetizers came with a small salad very well prepared. We mentioned it was my birthday celebration and they brought out a fresh cooked brownie with a delicious macaroon. Lastly a classic lemon drop quite perfect! Hats off to Juan who was so pleasant to us!

The restaurant was very nice, the food was great, the service was very good, and the view was amazing; however, I really wish we had had a booth, especially since we had made the reservations well in advance, made sure to indicate that it was for a 60th birthday, and we paid quite a lot to dine. We enjoyed the pianist and his singing, but it was a bit loud. It would have been good to have had some distance, which is another reason why being in a booth would have been nice. The service was very good and very professional. It did take a little bit to get our water and then to get the bread, but the food didn't take too long. The food was perfect. We ordered filet mignon, potato, wedge salad, and carrots. All were done perfectly. Finally, because I did mention it was for a 60th, the server brought out a very nice brownie and chocolate covered strawberry as part of the meal. It was very nice! We ran into the Assistant General Manager and let him know our server Jared was awesome! We would definitely come back but I would request a booth.

Always take the time to make reservations. Anytime you see "reservations" make one! It lessens the stress of waiting. This was our second time dining at Cielo. Last year was pretty good but this year was outstanding. The hostesses greeted us with smiles and professionalism. Our first reservation was 715, was sat immediately upon arriving around 7. Our first server was Jared and Jose was our bus guy. Jared embodies what fine dining is. From the start he took care of our every need. We started with the crab cake, lobster bisque and French onion soup. All were good! (We had them already last so we thought we would have them again). We got the chicken chimichurri, bay scallops and sea bass. All was delicious. We ended the night with a warm butter cake. It never fails! The following evening I made another reservation with daughter in tow. It was at 845. Again, hostesses sat us right away! This time it was the upstairs dining area. Here I thought it couldn't get any better. The dining area upstairs over look the piano and the rest of Cielo. The ambience is very romantic. Kevin was our server and Jose was our bus guy again. Jose is all smiles and greet us and chatted for a bit. Kevin had the same outstanding service as Jared. We told Kevin it was our second night in a row and joked that we already knew what we wanted. This time around we tried the Alaskan crab legs , oyster Rockefeller and a filet mignon. All is good! Ended our night with crème brûlée. Everything was excellent! On both nights the GM was doing his rounds. Greeting the guest and thanking them for their patronage. I highly recommend Cielo for special occasions.

Make time to visit Cielo! OMG, Cielo is on my top 5 favorite restaurants I have ever tried! 5 starsssss all the way!!! Obviously the ambiance is nice and you'll receive top notch service so I'm just going to get straight to the point and brag about the delicious food I devoured in the purest, guiltless manner. No shame in my foodie game ;) Appetizers... it's a must that your order oysters! These babies don't have that fishy, ocean taste - they are cleaned very well and they are fresh as they get. The steak tartare was so creamy and tasty, topped with a fresh quail egg. Wow! Deeelish! Main Courses... the ribeye is the love of my life! Cooked to a perfect temp and color the pinky center was just absolutely gorgeous. The buttery and tender texture was made to perfection. The added bone marrow paired this steak marriage with its succulent taste. The salmon above a risotto was daringly good. The scallops were also fresh and presentation was everything. I will continue to dream and reminisce about my foodie experience at Cielo. The pricing per items was priced right. The proportions were filling and remembering the taste of each bite will forever make my mouth water. Try this place y'all!

Came to Marango Casino for a concert won tickets so we decided to have dinner while waiting on the concert to start . Most of all the restaurants had like 3 stars . So there wasn't a whole lot of options. So we go to cielo it's supposed to be a high end steakhouse restaurant. The only high end is the food there . I ordered the Kansas City cut which cost me $70 and that's just for the steak 14oz Which was kind of small for that price .The wife ordered the seafood pasta which was $48.and she ordered one drink watermelon lemon which was $16 we also ordered one ceaser salad which we were told it was pretty big enough for two $14 The Cesar comes out and it's just enough for one person was good and we also ordered Parker house rolls which was $12.and one becon Mac & cheese which was $15 and it wasn't all that.the service was great and the manager was on it he even comped us our dessert being it was our first time there. In all our bill for two came out to$188.56 not including the tip of 18% was going to do 15% but I paid with Apple Pay and my waiter was hovering over me to make sure I paid the 18%, which was $31.50 the steak was ok nothing to write home about. But it's an expensive restaurant and everything is a la cart. That's were it gets pricey.so my bill came out to $220.06

Great experience and exceptional service! We went to dinner to celebrate our anniversary and had Enrique as our waiter. He was terrific, caring, detail oriented, and tended to each need! We will be going back!

The view out the windows are sooooo pretty! Came here for the first time last night for dinner. For two our bill was $233. So it is expensive but the food was delicious. The service was great. We will be coming back. I recommend the bread basket as an appetizer. They have a raisin and almond bread that tasted like dessert! The steak was amazing. I could have done without the lobster Mac n cheese. I think my own Mac n cheese tastes better for a fraction of the price. We'll be back to try different things.
