Sunset Grill

Food is pretty good and consistent. Service is terrible. Almost every server seems to have gotten no training and just doesn’t have a set of standards.

What a great change! Jasmine and Joseph were amazing! The food is so much better than before. Truly delicious. Simon has really turned this place around! Fabulous service. Thank you for an amazing night. If in Las Cruces, local or visitor, this is place to visit.

This is honestly the best restaurant in Las Cruces. This photo is of one of the fish dishes, one of the best I have tasted anywhere in the country. The presentation is beautiful, great service, and wonderful desserts!

I typically don’t post reviews. I NEVER pay attention to negative reviews. But I AM an ambassador for good health and good food. I just had a ‘sirloin’ in this place that was so artificial I was able to cut it with my fork. The ‘blood’ left behind (my MR) was purple. Educate yourself on artificial beef. It’s real. And it’s in this place.

Very impressed with the bar menu and service from the friendly staff. If you are looking to enjoy happy hour in a friendly environment, this is the place. I can’t say too much a bout the dinner menu since I’ve yet to try it. The golf course has improved over the last few weeks.

I’ve eaten food off the floor they tasted better. Lol
My goodness. Saturday afternoon lunch time and after playing 18 holes you work up an appetite.
I have been to many golf course grills and I have to say this one was by far my worst disappointment.
The décor is dark, boring, and the carpet makes you nauseous due to the patterns. Get some lights, better décor and smiles.
Perhaps some bright paint.
Going in with a party of 4 one person with a rolling walker. Attempted to be seated and was ignored for 10 minutes until asking if I should just seat myself (mind you the sign at door says «please wait to be seated» seriously). After finally sitting the menu girl showed up dropped menus and asked for drink order.
Ordering drinks and food.
Ordered a angus burger with sweet potato fries (other options were beer battered fries, coleslaw, or sweet potato fries). Can’t say I was thrilled. Burger was not hot or fresh and was clearly over cooked. Burger came on a big roll as opposed to hamburger bun which was not toasted or offered to toast. Clearly a sad meat to bun to cheese ratio.
The food is terrible. The staff don’t care if you like it or not. They spend their time standing around gossiping.
While I was there another table of older people were celebrating a birthday. They ordered iced tea and it arrived with no ice. The lady asked for ice and the waiter told her it had ice. !!!
Seriously. You couldn’t see ice at all. Just shut up and give her iced tea. How rude can you be. Do you not want a tip or job ???
The view out the window is great but it not worth the service.
I suggest you golf and go to Burger King.

This is our local restaurant in the Sonoma Ranch area. Been coming here for more than 11 years. I know most of the management staff, and will admit to some turnover in server staff, but find that common in Las Cruces. We’ve had breakfast, lunch and dinner here over the years. I am rarely disappointed. The Chilean Sea Bass is my personal favorite, while my husband loves the steaks. Specials are frequently enticing.
Of late, there is a new owner, and the atmosphere in the club is changing, mainly because there have been no updates to tables, chairs and carpet. One day there may be no one in there and he next, it’s full. Hoping new owner is proactive.
Food is great, high quality meats and seafoods. This is where we bring out of town company and where we celebrate occasions.
There are several rooms with different ambiances. Give it a try.

I’ve visited twice in the last month and on each occasion, a large amount of flies in the dining area. The last meal was a bbq brisket sandwich that was supposed to be served on an Italian focaccia bread but was served on a store bought hot dog bun.

Everything is OK now the general manager was very gracious and helpful in addressing my concerns. We will be back!

We ordered a bottle off the full page list of cabernet, some of which were $ 250. They were, unfortunately, out of the wine; after several minutes of searching. After about 10 minutes the waitress came back and read us a list of 5 cabs they had in stock. Out of an entire page they had 5! available. We selected one of the 5 and the waitress brought to our table. It took no less than 5 minutes for her to (kind of) open the bottle. 3 of which was spent fumbling with the knife and completely butchering the foil around the cork. The other 2 was spent attempting to remove and eventually breaking the cork in half. She was completely dumbfounded about removing the balance of the cork from the bottle. By this time we took over and opened the bottle for her. If you are going to sell $ 250 bottles of wine, train your staff on how to use a corkscrew, and actually have wine in stock.
On the brighter side, the food is really good and well presented. Unfortunately, it is over salted, but this is VERY normal for Las Cruces. This is why I never give higher than a 4 in Cruces. I completely understand why there were only 3 tables the entire night. I won’t be going back.

Since we live in the Sonoma Ranch area, we planned to try out the Sunset Grill sometime. In our last homeowners newsletter, we discovered a coupon for 25% off our bill to dine in their restaurant. Yes, the menu has a pricey look to it, but if the quality of the food is real good, then the price becomes less important. My wife had the scallops and I had the Chilean sea bass. Both the entrees and the accompanying sides were delicious. Service was just fine. I am sure that we will return again to sample other items on the menu.

Someone recommended this restaurant and it is just down the street from my house. First went for breakfast had eggs benedict and the hollandaise was perfect! It was a cloudy cold morn and we sat by the fireplace very cozy. So we came back for New Years Eve Dinner It was really good food and was excellent sevice for such a busy night! It is my new favorite spot plan to go back to the bar for the great margarita and coconut shrimp! A must for fine dinning! Excellent wine list

This place is awesome! Overlooks the golf course and it has a beautiful outside patio.
It has a relaxing atmosphere and is mostly inhabited by rich golf men and trophy wife-​has beens. I haven had the food, but my friends say the burrito was decent.
I love the drink specials! $ 3.50 mimosas and $ 2 pints on Saturdays and Sundays until 3pm. They have multiple TV’s so it’s a great place to watch football.

I went here for breakfast on a Friday morning at 8. I was one of 4 people in the large restaurant. I got a table with a view overlooking the golf course. It was very pretty. The food was basic breakfast fair prepared well. The view is what makes this place a little bit nicer than other breakfast spots.

The Sunset Grill has got to be some of the best food in all of Las Cruces! We have been there for breakfast, lunch AND dinner a few different times and walked away really satisfied every single time. At dinner time it is true Fine Dining. They have an amazing wine selection at a fair price. The sports lounge part of the restaurant is great — you can watch a variety of games and have a good drink in a nice environment without actually having to go to a Bar if you don’t want to! And at breakfast we love the Eggs Benedict and the skillets. Highly recommend this place — you will get your money’s worth!

I really am having a tough time pinning Sunset Grill at 3 or 4 stars; on one hand, their food is far above average for Las Cruces standards (for a price, obviously). However, on the other hand, their service can be downright pathetic. While we had a very pleasant meal tonight (Ian R was our waiter and was fantastic), it was in the minority of experiences so far. Our meals here have been very inconsistent and it’s always tough to gauge how our newest experience will play out.
Tip: Guys, if you’re looking for a nice location to take your lady out for a romantic date, Sunset Grill is definitely a nice option (and one of the only ones in Las Cruces).
Keeping it short, some of our favorite items include:
–Scallops appetizer: So delicious! With bacon bits, caramelized onions, and basking in a light, vodka cream sauce, these are very tasty. Definitely give these a shot.
–Grilled Ahi Tuna: Love the sesame seed crusting on the top and bottom. House preparation is medium rare and I also recommend this. This is served with two sides (like the other entrée options) and I usually opt for the cheesy risotto.
–NY Strip: One of the better pieces of meat in LC. It has been pretty good the past few times we’ve been in to eat.
On a final note…
There is one waiter that I just absolutely dread; when he struts over to our table and takes our drink order, I almost want to just get up and leave. Pretentious, slow, and easily put-​off, he is just flat-​out annoying; I really would love to smack him with the handy light-​up menus when he throws a fit for us not ordering 17 bottles of wine, or not taking the bait for the $ 34 Seafood Sampler. NO, we JUST want the scallops. Get over yourself.
Bottom line: Typically tasty food (4 stars) but sketchy service (2 stars, even though tonight was 4 stars). Good luck.

Best restaurant we found in the area. Fantastic seafood selections and top notch wine list. Service was on par with high end NYC restaurants. We were so happy to find this place and will be sure to return every time wee are in town.

Wow this was seriously a horrible experience. I walked into the bathroom and one of servers was walking out and caught off guard, she dropped her purse and a crack pipe fell out of her bag and broke on the floor. I at first went to help her gather her things, she was obviously shaken up about it. When I saw what it was, she scooped everything up and rushed out the door. I was appalled! On my way out the door, after paying my bill, I saw that girl again with a group of other works all hiding in the back chatting.
Besides that, the place was very stuck up and the food was not good.

Good food most of the time. A little over priced in my opinion, like I said, the food was good but not fabulous. A «side» of asparagus was 2 pieces… that was ridiculous. The big glass room has a nice view but it always seems to have flys. :-(

Can I really be the first person to review Sunset Grill? That doesn’t seem possible as the place has been around for a long time.
Anyway, Sunset Grill is the restaurant located in the clubhouse of the Sonoma Ranch golf course. It features both a bar and a somewhat fancy sit-​down restaurant that is an excellent choice for a special occasion lunch or dinner, entertaining a client or a job candidate, etc. I have eaten there several times (more than 5 but probably fewer than 10) and never had a bad meal.
Sunset Grill tends to be fairly expensive, with entrees in the $ 20 – 30 range, but unlike some other establishments in town, the price is usually worth it. Waiters are efficient and skilled. The kitchen sometimes takes too long to produce the food, which has been frustrating on some occasions, but during my most recent visit the timing had greatly improved. There is seating both in the restaurant, which is a little dark, and then out on the completely enclosed patio, which gives a great view of the golf course. If you sit on the patio look up under the eaves and you will see a lot of mud-​swallow nests (they are outside; the birds can’t poop in your food).
Some of the highlights: their onion soup, which is heavy on the mushrooms, is excellent, as are their fresh-​baked breads. I’ve had a wonderful Cobb Salad there. Despite the fact that Las Cruces is landlocked, this is a good place to get fish; recently, lobster tail, sea bass, and halibut were all nicely cooked and served with interesting sauces (grapefruit sauce for one, srinacha for another). They make a mean risotto and very edible mashed potatoes. And on the dessert side, I’ve had wonderful cheesecake, and berry mascarpone.
