When the Cliff House became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in 1977, the National Park Service contracted with Dan and Mary Hountalas as official concessionaires of the property.
 The NPS renewed its contract with the Hountalas family, under the name Peanut Wagon, in 1998.
 Peanut Wagon continues to manage Cliff House operations and worked with the Park Service during the extensive site restoration that was completed in 2004.

The Cliff House features two restaurants, the casual dining Bistro Restaurant and the more formal Sutro's.
 Additionally, the Terrace Room serves a Sunday Brunch buffet.
 There is a gift shop in the building, and the historic camera obscura is on a deck overlooking the ocean.

During the 2013 government shutdown, the US Park Service ordered the restaurant closed.
The owners defied the order, but were forced to close again.
They reopened with permission on October 12, 2013.
