Really enjoyable dinner at Tiffany's Bistro in the Chateau Big Bear Boutique Hotel. We got there…read moreearly for dinner and had a great experience overall. The apple cranberry salad was excellent and tasted very fresh. The steak was very tender, and the herb crusted salmon with pilau rice was solid as well. The ambience was lively without being overwhelming, and the beautiful elaborate glass dome really makes the space feel special. Service was great throughout the evening. Attentive, warm, and present without being pushy or constantly interrupting the meal. Overall, a very good dinner and a spot I'd happily come back to when in Big Bear Lake.

Located in Big Bear Lake, Tiffany's Bistro is a popular establishment for both locals and tourists…read moreto dine while listening to live music. This restaurant is inside Chateau Big Bear and features a 57-foot ornate Tiffany dome. On this evening, my family and I got to see pianist Mike Cross perform blues music along with a drummer and bassist. Mike was very friendly, and we got to exchange greetings after the show. We got the chicken marsala, spaghetti bolognese, and Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken marsala came as a big portion with a lot of mashed potatoes along with steamed carrots and charred broccoli. It was delicious with the rich and savory marsala wine sauce. Also, I never realized that charred broccoli can be so tasty. Service was a little spotty as it took long to flag a server for drink refills. Otherwise, this was overall an enjoyably memorable dining experience with my family.

Had dinner here last night with my fiancé and both of us were so thoroughly impressed by every…read moreaspect of our experience - that I just had to log-in to write this review. There were a a handful of people waiting to be seated when we arrived and the couple before us were seated at the last outdoor patio table available. The hostess told us that we could go upstairs to the bar area and sit anywhere we wanted and a server would be with us directly. So that's what we did. As a side note, the whole vibe of the restaurant was very comfortable and the building itself is pretty remarkable. Water and menus were delivered within minutes of us selecting our table, and our waitress Victoria maintained that same level of attentiveness the whole time we were there. The biggest shortcoming of so many restaurants in and around Big Bear is the bar and their specialty drinks. But this place just slam dunked on every other restaurant we've ever tried over the years - and not just for the drinks. I love a good old fashioned but until last night, every place I'd been to served their old fashioned in a glass full of ice like I was getting a soda at a fast food drive through. Not here. A proper big block ice cube made the "Maple old fashioned" (hands down) the best drink I've ever had. (I think they've got like 7 or 8 different varieties of the old fashioned and I will definitely be back to try them.) Our potato skins appetizer was on another level and that was before our entrees even arrived. My beef dip sandwich was perfect as was wifey's chicken Scaloppini. The timing of food arriving and the periodic check-ins from our waitress was flawless. We spoke briefly with the bartender, Doug (who may or may not have been one of the owners) to express how much we enjoyed our drinks and dinner. The hallmark of a well-run restaurant is that everyone who works there conducts themselves like it's their name on the sign out front. That's exactly what we got from everyone involved. Whoever is in charge of the kitchen staff deserves a Michelin star rating. The rest of the staff is equally impressive. I can't say enough about this place. Excellent drinks, excellent food and dynamite service. If you want a top-notch dining experience in Big Bear, this should be your first and only choice. From now on, it'll be mine.

Being my first time I like to gauge the staff/table ratio ti get an idea on wait time for service. While waiting for my friend, I noticed a large table off to the side having drinks and playing a card game. I was impressed seeing that they were consistently getting rounded on by their server. Finding out this was a family run small business made this even more impressive as it was a full house. Additionally, it felt like the entire bar was excitedly watching the FIFA game, which was surprising because the difference in noise level from the outside of the building was significant. From the bar perspective, the bartenders were so kind (A), provided short/sweet conversation and excellent recommendations (A+), AND gave us time to look over the menu without being pushy (A++). I tried the lavender buzz and the oso espresso martini, my girlfriend had a lavender lemonade seltzer both being DELICIOUS. We Comfortable chairs, bathrooms and business were clean, and water is available at any time by the door with a self serve station. Overall, great spot, amazing staff, great variety of beers and seltzers, the pizzas are killer, the nachos were perfect, cocktails were a hit, great space for watching a game or hosting a group apparently, and even better for a date night! Stoked to have a place like The Bear Trap in Big Bear. Already planning our next trip.

We always order the ribeye steak and split it because the portion is huge and always cooked just right. It's one of those meals we look forward to every time we come up.

The staff has always been friendly, and the whole place has that laid-back local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're visiting Big Bear, definitely add Murray's to your list!

Made us feel like we're were back home at our little watering hole ! She deserves a well needed raise! The bacon cheese burger was amazing. I would give her and the burger 10 stars Now's here is where the 3star comes in. Went in on sunday and Tony was the bar tender! He is the rudest, negative and most unfriendly person I think I have ever met! I got up went to the restroom and he trashed my water and napkins. When I asked if I could have more water with lime I was given water with lemon (not a big deal) then I jokingly made a comment about the napkins! Tony proceeded to tell me to go to another bar and closed us out! He said a few more choice words I won't repeat! He is bad for your establishment! There was another patron that was having the same issues! Needless to say the two brand new beers we were just served were left untouched I would come back as long and Tony isn't working!!!!! Best thing you could do is fire him

I rarely write negative reviews but I did feel like this place let us down…read more We started our night off as a bachelorette party here. The DJ played F*** Trump (some techno song that just repeated the words Fuc* Trump) then they played the Barney theme song/Yankee Doodle. Like what kind of bar is this? Which I believe may have been requested by some guest in the bar. When a girl from our group requested Toby Keith courtesy of the red white and blue the DJ told her no he would not play that. It blew our mind that the dj would play childish songs in a a bar. But to each their own. It did not hurt us to leave and spend our money at the next bar. I will say the bartenders were rad! I believe the DJ is to blame here not the bar itself. If you are looking for a bar with wonderful party vibes try Murray's or Whiskey Dave's

I really liked his vibe and the vibe of the bar overall. Ambience: it's clean and seemed organized for a bar. There's games there and a pool table. Everyone was so friendly. I had a few people talk to me and gave me some tips and recommendations on where to go in Big Bear, as I'm not from there. I also liked that they are dog friendly. I saw 3 other dogs there too. I would definitely come back & recommend this place to my friends.
