Had dinner here as we we're driving through the area. The customer service was really great - we were greeted when we walked into the door and our server was also attentive and friendly! My favorite part was the back patio - it's decorated like the backyard of my dreams. Trees with hanging lights, patio furniture, and lots of space. We had the fried chicken sandwich and the veggie burger (that they make in-house). Both were excellent! They also had a nice looking cocktail menu though we didn't drink, I'd love to come back and try one! Also happy to see that they were following COVID protocols with staff wearing masks and the tables in the back spaced out and distanced. read more

Let me start with saying I have never had a bad experience at the Blue Wing. This will be the third year I have chosen to come here on my birthday. When I called to make the reservation, I requested a lower patio area table, not on the cramped deck. I was told they would try to accommodate. Great! We (3 of us) get there and we are seated at a table for 6 on the cramped deck. The chairs are awful. Tiny and no padding ( I have a bad back). The whole time we are there there are 2 empty tables that seat 4 in the area I wanted to sit in. I also want to note our table was at the end of the building near the back and we kept getting a horrible stench of grease trap. Took the waitress forever to take our order but once we were served, she asked at least 5 times how we were doing. I always get fish and chips, they are really good here. My friends were disappointed that the dinner menu had changed again, taking off the Stroganoff and Korean rice bowl item. They are known for changing the menu a lot so if you like something ask if it's still here before you come. I'm still hurting this morning from those chairs! With the prices they charge, they should be able to get chairs big enough to accommodate a 160 pound adult. read more

We have gone to the Blue Wing for many years. We went tonight because the Hip Replacements were playing. We had the best food that we ever had. We especially loved the shrimp and corn bisque. Nancy Wright joined on saxophone. Amazingly awesome. read more

The ambience was amazing with live music have a wonderful back patio area. The food and service were also quite good.

Stayed at the Talan, which in and off itself is amazing. This salon is next door, and each meal the wife and I got there was excellent, and my lemon drop was amazing. It's the local watering hole as well, so a lot of great people watching. read more

This place was more a cultural experience than anything. Everyone knows everyone. It looked cool with a cool bar inside. You do need reservations...? Idk we got there and they said they were full but if the bar opened up we could sit there so we did and then there were open tables outside the whole time we were there. Just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. My husband got a medium steak that was pretty tough, we make better steak at home. I got the beef stroganoff. The sauce was great, the beef not so much. Honestly this place is overpriced and overhyped by the the locals for the quality of food. Got the blondie sundae that had a really cheap caramel sauce on it? Some sauce that I'd had before from Safeway that isn't good. The ice cream was fine though. read more

Best fried chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. The atmosphere is great, bartender was nice and funny, and drinks were delicious- big fan of the peach margarita read more

We were passing through from Santa Rosa for a late lunch. The ambiance in the outside patio was calming, (with live bluegrass band playing), the service was friendly, and the burger was one of the best we've ever had (and we are burger elitist snobs!) Thanks for the surprise slice of Americana. read more

Great place. Amazing service and an amazing burger. Got the blue cheese burger and fries and it was insanely good. They make their own burger patties and ranch as well. read more

This restaurant has seriously gone down hill. Over the last 4 times in last couple years dishes are lousy..brunch had small amount of scrambled eggs with frozen potatoes , no flavor and expensive. It was crap. Dinners our recent visits we had overcooked oily appetizers, salad is expensive not much to it, the pasta Primavera I ordered was old penne noodles stuck together rewarmed with a weird brown gravy served with the chicken which seemed like chunks that are processed thrown in cold for 27$ .It was inedible and gross, the fish tacos no flavor, greasy with some unflavored slaw, and cold jalapeño chunks thrown in!, We got one glass wine , one drink. No bread, no salad For $100. It's just not a dinner service. You can do way better, hire a chef, whoever you have shouldn't be in a kitchen each time has been more disappointing and we will not be back again, period. It's a waste of money and there was only one other couple in the restaurant eating so it isn't short staff or a busy night... seriously this place must think it doesn't have to have try with decent food at decent prices. Stop making excuses for bad food. read more

I will start by saying this is probably one of the highest quality meals you can get in Lake County. The cocktails and wine selection is good and there is good atmosphere-especially the Friday night band! I've been here probably 4 times now and I would say it's a 5/5 stars for dessert and drinks. For food, it's overpriced bar food unfortunately. read more

This was one of the rudest places I've ever walked into and by far one of the strangest restaurant experiences we ever encountered. We asked if we could sit outside and there were plenty of seats but we're told almost 20 minutes later that there was only seats inside. Weird seating situation, why spend your money at a place where you aren't greeted and doesn't feel welcome. They wouldn't even hardly look at us. No clue what was going on. Waited even longer and didn't get any type of beverage offering. I'm so disappointed because we put this place specifically to visit on our road trip and we walked away hungry - didn't even eat there. Hope y'all have a better experience than we did! read more

We came here for lunch a few months ago and it was pretty good. So we decided to come back for dinner. Sadly most every meal & appetizer was terrible. The fries are super soggy & oily, not crisp at all. Low quality over cooked beef, bitter oil covered brussel spouts. It goes on & on... Hopefully they get a new dinner cook to replace the chef we encountered. read more

I've absolutely adored the blue wing saloon for many years, if I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you to Bernie and everyone at the blue wing for making it feel like home every time I come up! read more

Had an early dinner with friends at the Blue Wing Saloon in the cute old town of Upper Lake. - my husband had the pan seared salmon which he loved, and I had the fish (cod) tacos, which were probably the best fish tacos I have ever eaten. We shared the chocolate torte for dessert and is was amazing! We sat outside on the porch, and the ambiance was beautiful with a canopy of shade trees and a fountain - we will definitely be coming back! read more

Great atmosphere and live entertainment. Relaxing outdoor seating and good food. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Stayed again. Bernie, the food is awful-I've been here a few times now. You need to hire local gourmet chefs from Napa-you're only open on weekends. The food at your restaurant is what you can get find at the grocery outlet-it's gross. Such a beautiful hotel, with a pretty amazing breakfast. Fix your menu at the restaurant and the food you serve. Everyone that I know who has visited, and ordered, have shared the same thing I've shared above. read more

Delicious black and blue burger, tasty garlic fries, and excellent albeit small serving of chicken wings. Two in our party of 4 ordered the salmon and were pleased with it. I can definitely see why reviews are so varied. Wait staff does a lot of running back and forth between inside and outdoors. Leads to inefficiency and confusion. Outdoor heaters over the porch were a nice addition on a windy evening. read more

Great, consistent food. Fabulous cocktails, well priced wine. Love the live music on the weekends.

This is the best fried calamari in my life. It is just a little breaded, not oily, crispy as it supposed to be. I fall in love with that and ready to drive 150 miles from San Francisco to get it. I recommend it like a # 1 thing to try in this city, and please don't forget to chat with Scott, he is an awesome person, very interesting to chat with and THE most important he is very CARING. Thank you Scott and chef for making me so happy! read more

Beautiful setting I love to sit and eat at the bar and it's also very nice in the patio when the weathers warm excellent bartender excellent drinks love the fish and chips made for fresh fish from the ocean a few hours away a must try appetizer is the fried green beans the buffalo as well as the teriyaki chicken wings they are done to perfection the only thing I was disappointed in was the dessert which was 6 tiny macaroons that tasted as they came from a box read more

We stayed 2 nights at the lovely Tallman Hotel next door to the Blue Wing. The large canopy of shade trees covering the outdoor dining area really helped to keep it shady and cool. Food was very tasty The staff was friendly and efficient. Great live music both evenings we dined there. Cons: No Beer on tap-taps were broken. The bottle/can beer selection is disappointing. Very basic-- Bud, Coors, Modelo. The one craft beer they had on the list -EEL River IPA- they were out of. This is a really neat place, no doubt having a much better craft beer selection would definitely take it up a notch! read more

Great food..good service..nice ambiance..they have bands on occasion. Nice patio for outside dining. Prices seem high to me but quality of the food is great. Lots of different beers to choose from. Restrooms are clean. Nice short walk to wander around Upper Lake. Just a block from Hwy 20. read more

Amazing food, burger and beet salad were so great! Phone did not eat first, but it was super good. Overall great experience other than the flies inside read more

Guilty yummy burger with blue cheese bacon and sauté onion. The burger was pretty insanely delicious; truffle park fries were on-point. The wings, ironically, were not what I'd order again; they were ok but Buffalo & Asian sauces didn't do it for me. The service was good and live music was a big bonus. If I'm back in the area, I will try another menu item. read more

Definitely one of my top three restaurants in Lake County. Bar / restaurant with outdoor sitting. If you like Bison Burgers, this is definitely the place for you. The fish and chip are delicious as well. Great customer service and of course, the restrooms were very clean. Light jazz ymusic in the back ground, just loud enough to enjoy but not so loud that you can enjoy a conversation. Dog friendly If you enjoy sitting outside under the sycamore trees with slight breeze enjoying great food, this is definitely a must stop. read more

I am staying at Tallman and heard nothing but great reviews for Blue Wing restaurant, thus I decided to try it out. I picked Sunday for dinner because there is supper special available. The Supper Special is 3 courses: Salad, Pork, and Bread pudding. I am allergic to pork asked for a substitute, no substitute allowed. I tried to order shrimp n grits but the Sausages is part of the ingredients that can not be separated. I substitute the bun for brioche, which was grilled with garlic butter Yum !!!! So I picked Veggie Burger with side of Grits+ shrimp. I asked for grits was pushed by server to get fries n salad which I didn't like. Half of the veggie burger was burnt. I told the server who ended up comping the burger. The grits got a delicious smoky flavor Yum !!! I ordered apple crumb pie with side of ice cream, that was delicious. Music was great, service was quick, despite a few minor issues, overall great experience!!!! read more

Very Unprofessional, spend top dollar at the Tallman for a Motel 6 experience .. Food is mediocre and oversight horrible... Gives a bad name to the small town experience read more

We enjoyed lunch/brunch on a recent Sunday and likely will be back again soon. Chicken sandwich was really good - house made pickles and coleslaw were great, chicken was juicy and flavorful. Fries were generous and fresh. The red lentil pasta was really good, we ordered with prawns and loved it - hope that dish stays on the menu! We also enjoyed the donut holes, especially the berry compote. Lovely atmosphere, very relaxed when we visited around 2. read more

The food is great & so is the service. We had a black n blue burger, garlic fries, the salmon special with mashed potatoes & creme brulee for dessert. Everything tasted great, the creme brulee was exceptional. Our server was Angela & she was super sweet & attentive. read more

We stopped in to get some lunch on the 4th of July, it was not busy at all we got seated right away outside under some really nice shade trees. Our waitress was very friendly and provided great service too. We got the cob salad and the mediterranean salad both with chicken. They where both good, not really big though and we had to ask for the ranch salad dressing. read more

Came to Blue Wing tonight for my birthday dinner and it was phenomenal! Kaelie was our server and she was fantastic and attentive! The food was amazing, best burger ever!

The Blue Wing remains the best restaurant in Lake County. We had a party of 7, which included 2 kids. We received excellent, timely service and the kids were made to feel like VIPs and ordered of the Kid's Menu. As for the adults, everyone had a great meal and their excellent menu of local wines is impressive, including old standards like Brassfield and Vigilance, as well as newer wineries like Wild Diamond. read more

Easily my wife and my favorite restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect and the staff are wonderful. It is our Friday ritual and we have never had a bad experience. The food is incredible and the variety has something for everyone. read more
