    View from inside restaurant to lake
    Brian H.

    What a fun little find driving through the high desert just off old Route 66. The restaurant has views of the man made lake. I was here with my favorite dining companion and a new friend. The decor is interesting and reminds me of what los norteños think passes for Mexican design aesthetics. The service is slow but effective. The food is clearly designed for palates that do not do well with traditional Mexican spices and flavors. Not a bad experience and if you are hungry in this part of California, give it a try.

    Chicken enchiladas

    Great service and food is good. The brand can be a lil bit better but I frequent here since I'm in the area

    7 mares
    Priscilla P.

    Love the seafood in this location. The 7 mares stew was my favorite, there were not stingy with heir serving of shrimp, octopus, fish, clams and crab; I will definitely order it again. The octopus was cooked perfectly! I also like their chile relleno. The none-seafood option was ok. Over all I will be back for seafood

    Beef flautas
    Jennifer J.

    We popped in for lunch one weekday and ordered flautas and a carne asada sope. They were both delicious. The flauta has a crispy, flaky shell. The beef inside was juicy and flavorful, with bits of chiles mixed in. There were two in our order and they were both pretty big! The sope was cooked just perfectly, with generous portions of asada (which was also lean and tasty!, lettuce, tomato and cheese. We were served by the host who was friendly and hard working. Our food came out super fast and we dined in a booth with a view of the lake. Another person popped by to check on us. He was also very friendly and super helpful. There are booths as well as tables, a bar, and some outside seating. We will definitely return!

    Chips and salsa

    Can I give this place 6 Stars? We were in the area picking up a cake but the baker wasn't ready so we killed sometime to have lunch. We stopped by this place and it was the best decision ever! Great food. Great clean atmosphere and view of the lake. Friendly staff. The crispy tacos were amazing. The enchiladas Costamar were recommend and it delivered on satisfaction.

    Hello, First off, I…read morehave to say that we absolutely love your place! We have been customers for several years. I feel like we need to bring this to your attention. Me and my husband, along with the a group of friends were in your place of business last Saturday night to watch Red Rabbit, who we love and follow. Around 12 or 1230 we noticed some commotion at the bar. Much to our surprise, your "new manager" was causing quite the issue with his boyfriend. Earlier in the night, he seemed to be actually managing the bar, however, at this time he was what seemed to be belligerent drunk. This went on for some time, even continuing out to the patio with customers trying to end the chaos. He was cussing, yelling at his boyfriend and demanding the Bartender serve him another drink. Once his boyfriend, was able to get him to leave, we even witnessed him punching a chair on his way out of the bar! I don't know the owners of this bar. I think they would like to know what happens when they are not there. This place used to be a great place to hang out with family and friends. This is not the first time we've witnessed drunk behavior from this manager. I have to say,, your Bar has a couple really good bartenders. And that is a reason we continue to come back. If this is the way the new vibe is in this bar, we will find another place to hang out. I truly hope that it gets handled. It is not fair to the customers, nor the rest of your staff.

    HIDDEN GEM! Casual…read morevibes,friendly staff, and really good food. Little bit of everything on the menu to pick from from burgers, sandwiches, and wings. We chatted with our waitress about the upcoming events being hosted such as country night, karaoke night etc. Sounds like a lot of fun. The high desert needs places like this available to hang out in rather than having to travel up and down the hill just to get out for the night. Pool table, darts, and even board games available!

It's, um, March 19th and we sat on the rooftop outside! Yup! Great ambiance with a view of entering Big Bear and the beautiful moon tonight. Shelby, the manager, was super friendly, sweet and helped us with our meal and Kalley was such a pleasant, high-energy waitress who were both great. Salads- well - hit the spot and more!! Jeremie's Caesar salad was topped with delicious and juicy chicken, flavorful house made croutons and Caesar dressing. Side of garlic bread- yum! Mine! All the treats! The kale apple bacon salad- minus the kale (because I'm just a romaine kinda gal). Sweet dried cranberries and green apples, perfect feta crumbles and bacon, with this amazing apple cider vineagrette! And that superb touch of garlic bread. (I could have eaten a whole loaf). I'd like that dressing in a bottle please! We didn't stay long bc we had people arriving, but will definitely be back. Thank you Shelby and Kalley for great service and delicious salads that hit the spot! Few times we've been up here so far and we haven't found our spots yet, but you're one now!

Here is my story On one hand, my journey to big Bear Valley was defeated because snow was scarce. And, I had to learn how to find the bald eagles. That is my preference now on to oak side I'm guessing Oakside as the place to go locals and visitors alike. Street level is patio dining upstairs second level is covered and rather dark. Food menu is what anyone can expect from a local pub restaurant diner Same thing can be said about their alcoholic beverages or their non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages You do need to check in with the gal downstairs if you want to sit on the street level patio dining. Otherwise walk up the stairs and sit at the bar. Food was decent. Service was excellent. If I'm ever in the area again.(I'm sure I will be) I definitely stop in again
