Est. 1863: This restaurant, nestled in the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, has a chequered history. It’s been rebuilt and renovated more than once – it once resembled a French chateau but was rebuilt in 1909 in neo-classical style – and survived numerous reversals of fortune. But even though Prohibition shut it down for a time The Cliff House survived and today it's a highlight of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and especially liked for its Sunday Champagne Brunch.
