We had such a great experience thanks to our server, Phil! We were visiting from LA, and it was our…read morefirst time in Lake Arrowhead, so we weren't sure what to expect. Phil was incredibly attentive the entire time, always making sure our water glasses were full and checking in on us without ever being intrusive. His friendly attitude and excellent service really made our visit memorable. The food was great too--the wings were delicious, and the garlic fries were so good! Overall, Phil made our first experience in Lake Arrowhead a fantastic one. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Thanks again, Phil!

Really disappointing experience, especially because we called ahead specifically to avoid this…read moreexact situation. We had a party of 10, 4 adults and 6 kids. Their website specifically says they offer reservations for parties of 10 or more, based on availability. I called about 30 to 45 minutes before arriving and asked if they could accommodate our group. The gentleman I spoke with told me yes, to come in and check in when we arrived, and that he would start getting a table ready for us. When we got there, apparently nothing had been communicated to the hostess. What made it worse was that the same guy then denied ever telling me on the phone that he would get a table ready. If they couldn't accommodate us, that would have been completely fine. Just tell me that when I call and we'll go somewhere else. Instead, we loaded up six kids, drove over based on what we were told, and then were basically turned away. We asked for the manager hoping they could at least help figure something out, but unfortunately the manager wasn't helpful either and offered no real resolution. Mistakes and miscommunications happen. What bothered me was denying what was said instead of simply owning the mistake and trying to make it right. We would have happily gone somewhere else from the beginning had they just been upfront with us. Very poor communication and customer service.

I own a place up here, and I spend at least one weekend every few weeks in Lake Arrowhead, and I've…read morebeen to Dogwood a couple of times. For the mountain, it's solid, the bartenders are friendly, the drinks are good, and the food is decent. That said, my main concern is with the atmosphere. It's... fine. And that's exactly the problem. As most of us know, there's a serious lack of entertainment options up here, especially for people under 60. Despite the older demographic, there's still a sizable group of younger, creative, and social folks looking for something to do. Sure, you could be satisfied with a '70s rock cover band for the 100th time in the village, but if not, then Dogwood has the potential to be the go-to spot if it just puts in a bit more effort. The last event listed on your website was in 2019. The last Instagram post was over two months ago, and the one before that was for New Year's Eve. With that kind of minimal effort in promoting and programming, it's no surprise the vibe is lacking. If Dogwood committed even 50% effort to curating consistent experiences and letting people know about them, I believe it could be one of the best spots on the mountain. Come on guys, my 94-year-old grandmother could do a better marketing job than you, and she barely knows how to use the internet. If you do better, you will be better!

Walking in yesterday, it was such a good-vibe, welcoming place. There was sunshine coming through the large windows and color all around. Our waitress was warm and welcoming as well as on top of our dining needs, even as it got busier. We 4, two of us being vegetarians, each found something delicious to enjoy. I got the BAT Omelette, which was generous with cheese, avocado, bacon, and as a delightful switch up, cherry and grape tomatoes. The presentation was a feast for the eyes, with its dainty and colorful flower petals on top. In fact, all dishes were beautifully presented. I ordered fruit instead of potatoes, which was enough to share. My mom found her bagel and lox delectable and a large enough portion to take 1/2 home. Friends found vegetarian enjoyment in the Goat omelette and the breakfast sammie. They were both well pleased with bellies full. All of us were happy brunchers ! As we dined, the place welcomed a steady stream of guests, both inside and out, which is furry best friend welcoming. So, on Sundays, come early. Great food, vibe, service....a perfect opportunity to break bread together when local or up the hill for a visit.

It was probably the best blt that I've ever had. The blt had bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and home made garlic aioli. I opted out of the jalapeño and mustard. All the ingredients were so fresh and the bread was good. People in my party had the blue cheese burger and cheeseburger. They said the burgers were made fresh and tasted good. Perfect cook temperature. The fries were surprisingly good. They had a lot of flavor. They were not soggy, greasy. Or potatoey. Kind of pricey for a sandwich shop, and they do not allow half sandwiches and I wish they did. Ultimately, I would eat here again as everything tasted good.

When we arrived we wanted to move seats due to very loud music from the live band as we were seated right infront of the band and noticed there were several tables with " reserved " signs and the host said -we could not be seated there. What happened to " no reservations allowed" ? The service is spotty and the ambiance missed the mark in several areas. Plastic forks , spoons , knives. Difficult to cut the ribs with a plastic knife. When asked for a real knife- we were asked to reuse a knife that was as dirty and was being taken back to be washed. The worst part of the experience was looking up from my table and seeing a decorative guitar sporting a confederate flag. A couple of things I did like were: the live music. The musicians were great - except the music was so loud -that no one in the main room was able to hear each other speak. The bake potato size is impressive and the Dolly Parton door / decor. The guy helping the waitress bring out drinks from the bar -he was attentive and helpful.

Our first visit to the Lake Arrowhead sports grill and bar was fantastic…read more I was afraid to go there as I pictured multiple tvs blaring at me, and while they did have several tvs with sports on, the volume was off, and they offered to change the channel for us, so it really wasn't intrusive at all. Our waiter could not have been nicer. I wish I could remember his name. He was so kind and eager to make our visit a good one. We started with the deep fried mushrooms which were good, but a little too heavily battered for my taste. They came with 2 dipping sauces, a spicy aoli style and an Asian chili sauce (sweet). I had the grilled salmon with lemon caper sauce. It came with your choice of 2 sides. I got the fully loaded baked potato and steamed vegetables. My meal was delicious and a large serving that I could not finish. Good value at $24. My husband got the ribeye with herb roasted potatoes and a salad. The salad was large and fresh with plenty of carrots and tomatoes. The herb roasted potatoes were delicious, but I would definitely get the fully loaded baked potato again. My husband said his ribeye was delicious and cooked exactly as he asked (medium). I had a martini which was a generous pour and the bartender even hand-stuffed some olives with blue cheese for me which was really kind as the bar was quite busy. The atmosphere was great - filled with people enjoying themselves dining, talking, and laughing. Restrooms were spacious and clean. My only complaint was that the seats were hard wood. It would be nice to have cushions of some sort, but that won't stop us from coming back for the good food & drinks, and great service at lake arrowhead sports grill and bar!

It's located on the ground floor of an Inn of the same name. It has an old timey, alpine look to it which really adds to the ambiance. They have a full bar, as well as booths, tables, and covered patio seating. It's pretty large inside so can host large groups as well. Our server was very sweet and all of our items arrived quickly. They don't have a very large menu, but it does have a lot of great options on it, especially for over 5000 feet above sea level. I chose one of the specials for the night which was the Black Cod. It was honestly great, cooked perfectly, and a fair portion. I enjoyed every part of it and would recommend. I also started off with the French Onion Soup and that too was great, it was a bit saltier than most versions I have back home, but still I liked it. We also ordered the Cobb Salad which was generous in portions, and we both really liked it. I was not a very big fan of the French Fries, that was the only downside of the meal. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for dinner when visiting Lake Arrowhead, especially for anyone looking for a great place for a date.

Lake Arrowhead Pizza offers a very large space to come in and enjoy some freshly made pizza with your family and friends. Great for large groups or just dining at a smaller table. Plenty of outdoor seating with views of the village and lake. The pizza was tasty and came out fast. Just got a cheese and the small was big enough for 2. They offer pizza by the slice too if you are just strolling by in the village. The staff was friendly and offered plates and ranch with the pizza. Inside has a huge arcade for the kids. It was a slow day and some machines weren't on but they probably power them up as needed. There are big screen tvs everywhere with plenty of different sporting events on. Parking is easy with the huge lot.

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!

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!

Food: 5/5 We came here manly for their drinks, but also decided to get their poke nachos. The tuna poke was top tier. The fish was fresh and paired beautifully with their sauces and guacamole. Since it was close to my birthday, the gave me a free pineapple dole whip as well. It tasted just like Disney's pineapple dole whip! Drinks: 4/5 We got the scorpion bowl between five people. The bowl was not very big, but the alcohol was definitely strong like most rum drinks. Next time I'm back I would probably get their other drinks instead of the fish bowl. Service: 5/5 The servers were super sweet and friendly. They were pretty busy, but very transparent and apologetic about it. The food and drink came out really quick. And despite the business, we got seated pretty quick as well. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is a cute tropical escape from the naturey and wilderness of Lake Arrowhead. The interior was well decorated and it was a very laid back vibes inside.

The tiki bar was a nice size and was very well themed. There were plenty of drink and food options. Since we were going to dinner right after, we only had an appetizer, which were the cream cheese rangoons. They were on the small side, but absolutely delicious which could be dangerous. My drink? So good. I went with the fun one, Come on Baby Light my Fire, which included dole whip! I felt like I was drinking a tasty boozy dole whip float, and the drink was quite large. Service was great and our bartender/server was entertaining and friendly. We will definitely be back again if we are in the area, and to perhaps try some more food options.
