12/14/25 For our…read morelast stay at Postcard Cabins, we were in the Lake Arrowhead area looking for a spot to eat outdoors. It was pretty chilly so we wanted a restaurant that at least had an outdoor heater. Most of the places we walked by didn't have an outdoor heater. We walked by Sunsets Island Bar and Grill. Zach went in to ask if we could eat inside with Coco and they said yes! In my head I was already giving them 5 stars for allowing us inside with Coco. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We didn't even need to ask for a water bowl for Coco since they got brought right away. Here's what we got: - Pupu platter (share) - Huli huli chicken (mine) - Mushroom ravioli (his) - Ube cheesecake (dessert to share) The pupu platter was very good. The fried pieces weren't TOO fried thankfully. They were perfectly crunchy and hot. The huli huli chicken was very tender. The mango bits contrasted well with the chicken and the veggies. The ravioli was really good too and they give you a lot. The ube cheesecake was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and even Zach liked it and he doesn't like to eat dessert ever. Overall, this was probably our best meal during our time here. I would definitely recommend coming here because the staff are friendly, the vibes are great and the food is fantastic.

I don't leave negative reviews lightly, but this was, without question, one of the worst restaurant…read moreexperiences our family has ever had. The evening started with our reservation being "lost." In hindsight, we should have taken that as our cue to leave. Instead, we stayed, and unfortunately everything went downhill from there. Service was painfully slow. It took approximately 45 minutes just to receive water, over an hour for our drinks, and nearly two hours before our food arrived. By the time dinner finally came, we were beyond hungry. The food was even more disappointing than the wait. The "grilled cheese" looked like it was made with individually wrapped processed American cheese slices--and somehow, after nearly two hours, the cheese wasn't even melted. I ordered the branzino expecting a delicate, flaky white fish with lemon. Instead, it arrived so overcooked and dry that lifting it with a fork brought up the entire fish in one piece. It had the texture of fish jerky. The zucchini alongside it was cold and had the unmistakable texture of previously frozen vegetables. My son ordered the mahi-mahi tacos. They were bland, dry, and overcooked. He's the least picky eater in our family and wouldn't eat them. Ironically, the only edible dish on the table was my husband's Huli Huli chicken--which the rest of us ended up sharing because we'd waited so long and were starving. Our server was kind, but we saw her only a handful of times during what became a two-and-a-half-hour dinner. To make matters worse, I woke up in the middle of the night with an upset stomach after eating only a couple bites of the fish. Given our experience, I genuinely struggle to reconcile it with so many glowing reviews. Save yourself the time, the money, and the frustration. There are far better places to spend an evening.

Last Wednesday, My family wanted to eat here, when we entered it was super clean inside & so were there restrooms, highly organized & with attention to details. As we walked in there so much details to this restaurant half boats inside to make this restaurant super cool, anything with water is up here. The atmosphere here was super friendly, warm, classy, chic, elegant. There is seating inside, outside, and at the bar too! with breathtaking views at the lake! When you order you have to order & pay at the bar, then they will give you a number, where ever you would like to be seated & bring out the foods. Last Wednesday Rochelle Kinny was our server/cashier she asked if we had any questions & answered them all beautifully! They shareables, tacos, fresh salads, burgers, sandwiches, kids menu, weekly brunch, signature cocktails, wine, margaritas, shooters, draft beers, they also have soda and other drink s Dispensing machines! So we ordered : 2 Fish & Chips, kids meal: chicken tenders, Chicken Cesar wrap, crispy buffalo chicken with onion rings. Their price points are spot on! Rochelle was so super sweet, caring, kind, super polite & very down to earth, very genuine! Rochelle has this super upbeat positive energy about herself that really radiates! As we were waiting Cody gave us all of food & asked us if we needed anything so sweet of him! Everything was delicious & with a great view! I would especially love to thank Rochelle & Cody for a fantastic & memorable visit! I would like to Thank Jetties Waterfront Kitchen & Drink for a wonderful visit! I'll definitely be back here again! I'll tell all my Family & Friends to come and visit!

Has both a family atmosphere and smaller nooks for a date as well. We've been here with about 20 people and have been able to move tables around together to be seated quickly. Also, if you bring your dog, there is a patio for you to eat and enjoy the lake view. You order and pay at the bar with the bartender and overall, it's a pretty smooth experience. My family loves coming here.

Kept seeing flyers for it I kept forgetting to go and I really didn't think that the wine would be very good. But what was actually incredibly surprising was the detail and the quality! I think the buy appointment only is it common but highly appreciated once you get there for sure! I ended up not getting the wine because I wanted to try the hard apple cider. I definitely had a little buzz going and it was only I think five or something maybe six different flavors very good size for a flight. Next time I'll come back for the wine because they are made there! Some of the grape grapes are shipped in and there is a local orchard. Just a very cool and surprising little spot. I was not expecting the hands-on aspect of the winery. I'm looking forward to going back! Special shout out to the staff for being accommodating, conversational, friendly, fast and efficient! Honestly it was a fantastic experience.

Very small restaurant so highly recommend getting a reservation. We tried many items from the menu. I really liked the steak tartare which tasted of truffle and loved that they had different things to add on top as well. It was really good steak and not at all chewy. The soup du jour was a creamy caramelized onion soup which was decadent and so good. For my entree I got the seafood pot which I liked but wasn't obsessed with. The curry was very thin and the seafood felt a bit overcooked for me. But the taste was good, just wish the curry was a thicker paste than a liquid soup texture. My family all loved their entrees and said the quality of their various steak dishes was remarkable. The waitress was so kind as well. Would love to come back next time I'm in town!

Stone Creek Bistro is the premier dining destination in Lake Arrowhead. I learned from their…read morewebsite that the bistro was established in 2013 and their menu is moderately priced with a mix of Southern American comfort food and traditional French bistro cuisine created with passion by Chef Sam Perry. Reservations are recommended before visiting. There is limited parking along State Highway 189, so plan accordingly especially during peak hours. I started my meal with a craft beer and a half order of the Grilled Caesar. There are a number of quality starters and entrees to choose from but after asking for a recommendation from our server, I settled on the Spicy Thai Basil Spaghetti. I also was fortunate to have the opportunity to try the steak Tartare. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and well-crafted with fresh ingredients, and it made for an overall great meal. The ambience is cozy and the staff is also attentive. It's no wonder Stone Creek Bistro is so popular! I'll def be back the next time I'm in Arrowhead.

The folks serving up drinks were lovely. It is a walk up bar so self-serve but they were very friendly. The views from up here were spectacular. I can see why they chose it as a wedding reception venue. It was a great experience despite their kitchen being closed. I'll be back with my friends!

Appetizers are the move here. Bruschetta Shrimp burrata, quite nice and unique without being too outlandish. It has the refreshment of bruschetta burrata but with shrimp. Smoked salmon tartine is pretty self explanatory. Flavor profile is all there without being too strong from the smoked salmon taste. Porcini mushroom pizza is a nice small mushroom pizza to snack on while you wait on other food. Bacon wrapped figs were decent too although the sauce was probably the best part about it. Our main entree was a Red pepper pasta filet mignon, which frankly was a little flat. The filet mignon wasn't too tender or flavorful frankly and the pasta sauce was a little lackluster as well. But for filler, it does the job. So like i said, appetizers are the move here, pair them with a wine to maximize your experience here (if your wallet is willing), otherwise, the place does run a little more expensive than other restaurants in the area.

You know a place is doing something right when the locals are posted up.

He was super cool and down-to-earth, and we ended up chatting about all things coffee. I love when you can actually connect with the person behind the counter--that's my kind of coffee shop. The space is small, charming, and cozy, with limited indoor seating. The coffee was strong, and the pumpkin flavor was subtle and tasted real--not overly sweet or fake-syrupy. I personally would've liked it a touch sweeter and maybe hot instead of iced, but that's just my preference. Overall, a cute local gem with good coffee, friendly people, and those cozy mountain-town vibes. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Wrightwood, and I'd happily come back!
