We stopped by Front Taproom with my sister and her husband, so we were a party of four. The…read moreatmosphere was really nice, fun, and lively! It was definitely packed when we went. Our waitress, Hannah, was really nice. She introduced herself right away, took our drink orders, and was very friendly. We got our appetizer pretty quickly, but our main food did take about 30 minutes to come out. Since the restaurant was so busy, it was understandable, but it was definitely a bit of a wait. For food, we tried a few different things: Patty Melt on gluten-free bread: 3/5 It was okay. Elote Tots: 5/5 SO GOOD! Definitely one of the highlights. Taproom Burger: 4/5 Really good! California Hot Dog: 3/5 It was okay. Strawberry Lemonade & Regular Lemonade: 10/10 AMAZING! Two of us had the strawberry lemonade and two had the regular lemonade, and we absolutely loved them. We had a good experience! The ambience was fun, the drinks were amazing, and Hannah was very sweet. The food was a little hit or miss depending on what you order, and there was a wait for our entrées, but the elote tots and lemonades are absolutely worth trying!

They are…read morefamily-friendly and have activities for the kids (coloring books) and it's easy to accommodate kids at the tables. The menu is great whether you're in the mood for appetizers and drinks, a full meal, or both! They do classic bar food and also great salads. Easy to find something for everyone and they can accommodate different dietary restrictions. Everything we've had is always great so you can't go wrong. It's fun to watch the hustle and bustle of the Village and the boats and ducks on the water. They also have some TVs by the bar inside with sports on too. Worth checking out if you're at the Village!

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!

We got the Cali veggie burger and spicy veggie burger, and both were AMAZING. Honestly, one of the best veggie burgers I've had. We got fries with one and a salad with the other. If ever confused, GET THE FRIES They were so fresh and delicious! The staff were super friendly, there's plenty of parking in the lot, and it's just a short drive from Lake Arrowhead. They have a ton of indoor and outdoor seating, with cool art on the walls. Definitely coming back here every time we're in the Lake Arrowhead area!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Friendly place, with good food and lots of local art…read more Our friends who are Lake Arrowhead locals suggested we meet here for lunch. It was quaint and welcoming, with friendly servers. They had a good number of vegetarian options (which was why our friends suggested it), and the hubby got the Bbq veggie burger with fries, and I got the veggie mushroom cheese steak sandwich. The hubby thought his burger was just ok, but the fries were amazing. I in turn thought my sandwich was great, but the side salad was just fine. Our friends enjoyed their grilled salmon salads. When I said there was lots of local art, they had them everywhere, even the bathroom! Some nice stuff, too. Definitely worth stopping in.

If I could give this place 0 starts, I would. A piece of advice, DON'T COME HERE…read more My group of friends arrived around 11pm on a Saturday night. Half of us were let in, the other half were given some lame excuse as to why we couldn't enter. The bouncer looked us up and down and refused to let us in even though he just let half the group in. Why you ask? Great question because he could barely keep his lie straight. He said we were drinking outside, which all we had were water and Diet Coke cans. When we questioned him, he switched it up and said they were closing even though he just let half our group in less than 1 minute prior and the stated hours say open until 1:30am. He was rude and had a disgusting ego that unfortunately lost this establishment business. The bouncer was so blatantly disrespectful and if this is a representation of the business itself, I'm glad we were not let in. Such a shame to see a business be so openly discriminatory and take pride in it?! Icing on the cake. We heard from another establishment we went to instead that this is not the first time they've done something like this and looking at some of the other reviews, it's clear the people they hire here continue to discriminate against others.

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!

This place is a winner in my book. Excellent food that is served by nice people, makes Diane's hard to beat. We only need to bring volume level the live music down a bit, to a more comfortable level for conversation, which is a simple fix, and I rate it 10 out of 10. I will definitely return to try something else from their extensive menu.

No problem, the spectrum of hospitality can be wide. Do not be fooled by the pictures, the food is mid, at best. I ordered the lamb chops, flavor was good, but the lamb was dry and tough, which I had ordered medium. The French onion soup was good, but came out just above room temperature. Soups like this should be piping hot when served, as it can become cold pretty quickly. I had to ask the server to please heat it up. They also forgot the mint jelly for the chops, which I reminded them about, and which also came out frigidly cold. How can I put cold jelly on a hot meat. They give you a small portion of mashed potatoes, which were also dry. The vegetables barely had any flavor to them. My partner ordered the duck, which was not too bad. The rice was ordinary, and the veggies, as stated before were boring and bland. There was no excitement to the food. The dirty martinis were pretty good. Highly disappointed in the food. for the price, they do not live up to the quality that should be coming out of the kitchen. If you're looking for gourmet that actually is worth the price range, I recommend Stone Creek Bistro in Blue Jay, which is about ten minutes away. Never again!

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!

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.

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.

Stop by here! No, seriously, stop by here…read more We were in Lake Arrowhead for a few days and we didn't expect to find a tiki bar here, but here we were. 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.
