Profile Draft
Cliffside Restaurant opened in 2014 in the rebuilt Rococo space at the top of the bluff above downtown St. George, a glass-walled room with one of the more dramatic dining views in Southern Utah. Owner Tom Heers — who previously built and ran the Anniversary Inn properties in Salt Lake City and Boise — bought the vacant building off a Craigslist posting in 2013 and remodeled it from the studs. The kitchen runs a steakhouse-leaning American menu, and the dining room and bar trade heavily on sunset views over the valley.
For 435 Alliance, Cliffside is a clean, locally owned, single-location independent with strong web presence — the consulting opportunity is more around schema and AI/search readiness than basic site cleanup.
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm the operating LLC for the St. George restaurant (separate from any remaining Anniversary Inn entities).
- Whether the Rococo Hotel building still operates as a hotel under a separate brand, or is now restaurant-only.
