Disappointing experience and poor communication from management…read more We visited this restaurant while in Lake Arrowhead and unfortunately left with a bad impression of how management handles situations involving guests with pets. Upon arrival, we informed the host that our party of five included our 10 month old miniature dachshund. We were told pets were welcome and that the wait would be approximately 20-30 minutes. Once seated on the patio, we were asked to keep our puppy on the ground rather than on our laps due to hygiene concerns, which we completely understood and immediately complied with. Our puppy did bark occasionally, and we were actively trying to keep her calm with treats while remaining mindful of those around us. After ordering our second round of drinks, our waitress approached us and informed us that her manager wanted our dog to leave because of her barking. My issue isn't that her barking was addressed, but how the situation was handled. We were never given a warning or an opportunity to correct the behavior before being told she needed to leave. Had someone communicated their concerns beforehand, we would have gladly stepped away or made adjustments. What made the situation even more disappointing was that the manager couldn't come speak to us directly and instead left our waitress to deliver the message. She was incredibly kind and apologetic, even acknowledging that a child repeatedly running and dancing nearby appeared to be getting our puppy excited. She apologized again when we requested our tab and made it clear that this was management's decision. We understand that being dog-friendly doesn't mean allowing disruptive behavior, but basic communication and courtesy go a long way. We've visited plenty of dog-friendly establishments and have never experienced anything like this. Our waitress was wonderful, but management's lack of professionalism and communication left a bad taste in our mouths. Unfortunately, we won't be returning

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 staff is consistently upbeat, the cooks move like a well-oiled team, and everything comes out the way you want diner food to come out: hot, familiar, and satisfying. It genuinely feels family-owned--not in a gimmicky way, but in the way people greet you, check in on your table, and serve your food with a smile. Locals roll in happy, chat a little, and you can tell this spot is part of the rhythm of Blue Jay. If you want the classic diner experience--easy, friendly, always solid--this is it.

TL;DR: be prepared for a wait. great service and probably the best breakfast in town?…read more Came on a Thursday morning and were surprised to see a wait. Put our name down and had to wait ~30min which was fine since we just window-shopped the nearby shops Ordered: - Corned beef hash (4.5/5): delicious flavor but wish there was a bigger portion of corned beef especially when compared to the hash brown. tip: ask for a hard fry to get extra texture - short stack pancakes (3/5): pancake texture was alright but not particularly special. Being covered in whipped cream doesn't help. Decent value though if you're fueling up Would definitely come back if we're back in town Cheers, Villager Coffee!

The diner is cozy and the servers are welcoming. The food isn't Michelin-quality, but gets the job done at solid prices. I also think the quality has remained consistent over the years.

This used to be one of my favorite local eateries whenever I'm in the area with my bf and our…read morefriends. The elderly white guy and the young Hispanic lady who work there were super friendly and pretty great. The few dishes that I had a chance to try were tasty and pretty well-priced; except for the pies. However, that one occasion where the Hispanic cook came outside, stared at my bf and I without saying a word, then proceeded to seat the white folks who signed up on the wait list after us instead, and then finally blatantly lied about it in Spanish thinking that I wouldn't understand because I'm Asian when I went inside to inquire, well, that whole experience left such a massively unpleasant racial scar that I simply cannot bring myself to ever return. It has been a few years since, and this still stings and pains me so much to prompt this write-up. Fortunately, there are many other great local food establishments in the area to partake!

The Corvette and the Peanut Butter Malt!!!…read more If you're anywhere near the mountains, do yourself a favor and stop by Cedar Glen Malt Shop. This was hands down one of the best burgers and malts I've ever had. The burger was fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted like it was made with care instead of rushed out of the kitchen. Then came the malt, thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect classic pairing with an already incredible burger. One of the coolest touches is how they name many of their burgers after classic cars. It's a fun, nostalgic theme that fits the old-school malt shop atmosphere and gives the menu a personality you don't see very often. Great food, friendly service, and a unique experience make this place well worth the drive. I'll definitely be coming back to work my way through the rest of those "car" burgers. Highly recommended!

I came here as a family of five, and overall enjoyed our experience…read more Service was overall friendly, very good and quick. However, I had to ask for one or two things multiple times. The kids meal was adorable and came in a cardboard 50 style car. If you're gonna order the macaroni and cheese, just be aware that it takes a little longer to cook compared to everything else, but it comes out hot. However, the noodles are slightly overcooked. The fish and chips are made with cod and I highly recommend. Very crispy and hot. You get three fairly generous pieces per order. The thing that really makes this place shine are there milkshakes and malts. We offered to upgrade the kids beverage to a peanut butter chocolate milkshake for a very affordable price and served as dessert for the whole table. This place is no-frills, but very family friendly. There were lots of families there. For napkins, they had a giant roll of paper towels on every table. The bathrooms were fairly clean.

We had already waited about 45 minutes and were second on the waiting list when everything basically came to a stop. What made it worse was the attitude from the woman working up front. Instead of being understanding or communicating clearly with customers who had already been waiting, she came across as rude and dismissive. Meanwhile, other surrounding businesses were already back up and running. Unexpected outages happen, but a busy restaurant should have some type of backup plan or process for situations like this, especially when customers have already been waiting that long. We were looking forward to eating here, but the lack of preparation and customer service made the experience extremely disappointing.

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.

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!
