Sutro's daughter carried on the family tradition and rebuilt the third Cliff House in 1909. This
version was a neoclassical design, which continued the luxurious dining that wealthy patrons had
come to expect.
The Cliff House remained in the Sutro family until 1952 when it passed to George Whitney, a
wealthy local developer. The restaurant was remodeled several times before it was purchased by the
National Park Service in 1977. More recent renovations have expanded the facility, adding the new
two-story Sutro Wing, which is now the main dining room. The original 1909 structure is now the
Bistro, which features an elegant zinc bar and a private dining room that can seat 140.
The Cliff House offers diners breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and exceptional meals,
with emphasis on seafood and organically grown products. Much of its history is evident in the
hundreds of autographed pictures of the rich and famous on display.
