    After spending some time in Spain, we missed the traditional Spanish food and Telefèric provided a place to enjoy that once more. The tapas, wine and sangria we had were delicious and we can’t wait to come back for more. The hosts were great, service was great and the ambience was great. Thank you for making this a great outing for my family and I.

    We were in town with kids celebrating our 13 th wedding anniversary. In-laws came over to watch kids, and we walked to Rise Rooftop. It is located inside the beautiful Westin Hotel. We had reservations, and I asked for a lower table, and the hostess was accommodating. Our server was young and very attentive and made great suggestions. Our view was stunning. Every dish was different and delishious.

    Great view and atmosphere. They have a great host. She is very pleasant, professional and competent. Did not catch her name, but she is from Argentina. The view of the Newport Harbor and the atmosphere are phenomenal. It’s mostly French. Me and my friend, we both had Stake with fries. The food was good, but not great. The fries, were excellent, though. I would come back and try different items in the menu.
