    Buffalo Mac & Cheese. Bold flavors and the Mac was very tender and cheesy. 8.2/10
    Geneva B.

    Our experience here for dinner was surprisingly pretty good! The menu is basic but the flavors used in some dishes were bold and unexpected. The service was top notch from our server and the views near the lake make the experience all the better. The burger was subpar - tasted burnt and dry, but other than that we were pleasantly happy!

    Dinner with dad & wife.

    I'm so glad we have Lakeside Grill in our community! The owner, Deb, is a wonderful person who clearly cares about serving up delicious food and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Speaking of food, the burgers are top-notch, and the kids (and adults!) love the fries. The menu has something for everyone. Plus, the views of North Lake are fantastic. Estrella Mountain Ranch is lucky to have Lakeside Grill. We feel grateful to have it in our neighborhood!

    Awesome cheesecake

    We had an absolutely wonderful dinner in this amazing beautifully remodeled restaurant at the clubhouse. We were seated immediately and were waited on by Jackie who was an excellent waitress. The food was fantastic. I really enjoyed the meatloaf and my wife enjoyed the chicken strips.. if I could rate this restaurant with 10 Stars I would.

    Apple pork chop with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts covered in bacon and balsamic dressing.

    Nice quiet! Patio was well shaded. Great flavor with apple pork chop. Service quick and courteous

    Breakfast burrito, chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy and crispy waffles!

    We love coming here for breakfast on the weekends! The food is phenomenal and the staff is great! We always order the same thing because it's so good we have yet to try anything different lol

    I have been here many many times before and it has always excellent at a 5. It was worth the drive to Estrella. However this visit the expensive medium rare rib eye came out over cooked at medium well. The broccoli and Cauliflower was served room temperature. The side salad ordered was forgotten and after gentle reminder it was served mid way thru the main course. I asked the one remaining long time server if there was a new chef, but she said no. Server insisted to replace the meal but we opted to eat what was served. We did not want to waste food. Server later offered a free dessert but we passed. The water was good. Of course this is not the servers fault. but I guess this is why it was empty on a Saturday evening except for a three tables with high schoolers pre homecoming dance meal that arrived after us. As for ambiance it says they are remodeling but I only see new flooring and same tables and hotel lobby-ish decor.

    Cauliflower Steak

    11 people had lunch dinner. Everything was fantastic. Brent our server was Fast, Kind, & provided excellent service to us all.

    Waffles and fruit!

    This place is amazing! All the food is made by real chefs and the food is packed full of flavor! It has beautiful views of the lake and pools and the building is beautiful inside. All the workers are very sweet and attentive. Every time I've come here I have been very happy with every meal I've chosen! Can't go wrong! But I love their country fried steak and eggs. Would highly recommend especially if you live in the area!

After a not so seamless ordering --our food arrived , correct but I expected my " value vegan plate " to be a value lol. It was a quarter of the size of my husband's chicken biryani bowl - his was so large he only ate half . Plus side everything was delicious and heat levels are customized , my hubby went with "make me cry " option and I ordered the medium heat . Both made us sweat so it delivered. I'd come back for sure but I'd stay away from value plates , not much value . Just order from the regular menu. For reference we spent $50 for 2ppl . So this isn't exactly a cheap eats kinda dinner . Vegetarian & Vegan items are clearly labeled. I'll be back for more !

It made the entire meal unenjoyable, and we definitely would not have sat outside had we known that would be the case. To make things worse, our meals were dropped off without silverware, and we sat there for about 5 minutes with no staff in sight to help. We used to come to the cantina often, but after not visiting for a few months, it's clear things have changed. The white fish recipe is different and not nearly as good as it used to be. Unfortunately, this experience was enough for us. We will not be coming back.

    I have decided that they just need to change the name of this place because I have been robbed…read more I have been living up on this mountain for nearly two years, having no idea that we have a breakfast/brunch/lunch cafe in the one and only strip mall in our little village. I thought it was just a bagel place. I can take or leave bagels. I can pick up a bag at Safeway. On this particular day I showed up ready to shop at said Safeway, famished. There was a sandwich board outside of Oasis with smoothie specials. They've got something besides bagels? Due to my tendency to go off list and grab unhealthy groceries when I'm hungry (that ends up rotting in the fridge) I ducked into Oasis. What? I just stood there for a second. My mountain neighbors were grazing contentedly at their tables. The menu boards were crammed with options. Things I like. Where do I even begin? My husband had been gatekeeping. I called and told him that I found this cafe and asked if he wanted anything - and he said he'd been there a couple of times before on the way to work. The bagels (though he told me that they were fresh and delicious) were a footnote to all the offerings. I honestly felt overwhelmed. The cashier said I could choose a fresh baked item - I selected a croissant - and they'd stuff it with sandwich ingredients. I chose chicken salad and it was epic. Generous shreds of chicken in a flavorful dressing that was creamy without tasting like greasy mayo. To top it off, you can choose a "free" bag of gourmet chips off a rack. That treat makes your $9 sandwich reasonably priced. I got it all to go, for lunch later, and picked up a green smoothie to get me through the store. When I walked in Safeway this lady asked, "Did you get that next door? It's so good isn't it?" All of my neighbors have been gatekeeping, while I have been relegated to Subway and Starbucks. Another time, I went to Oasis with my husband and got a breakfast burrito and fresh squeezed OJ, which were so good. We were anticipating an overnight guest from the east coast so we picked up a few black-and-white cookies for dessert and crumb cake to complement our home-cooked breakfast. All were very fresh and tender baked goods; our guest told us she felt so special. Next I'm going to try their deli sandwich since my tendency is drive over a half hour down the hill to Jersey Mike's, thinking I had no choice. These gatekeepers get on my nerves.

Everyone else chooses the barstools and hightop tables or the patio. We were only outside once, when my ankle was broken and it was tough to get around. But, I digress. Maybe the cozying adds to the delight of our foodie experience at Sip. We don't drink but they make a lovely Shirley Temple that compliments all that chef-made goodness. Her menu is always shifting and we love the creativity. One of the mainstays, though, is the meatball appetizer. The beef is tender and flavorful and the homemade marinara as complimented by a perfect cheese pull. We'll get that and one other item - a charcuterie board, bread and/or veggies and a dip, or some other interesting app. Sometimes we get a salad, but order dressing on the side because we like it light. As lovely as Sip is, I don't know if people are impractical or enamored enough to drive a half hour up a mountain to enjoy that tiny establishment. So, it feels like a happy place to be around locals. Estrella is growing but not so much that we've ever felt crowded out at Sip. It's homey and warm and a relaxing place to feel at home, on our special couch. Please don't sit at our couch. lol
