    Tiki heaven by the lake
    Allison A.

    My husband and I had a terrific lunch today at Tiki Republic in Lake Arrowhead Village. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you, inside you will find a magical oasis. The dark and breezy decor makes you feel instantly transported to the islands which was a great escape from the summer heat. The beer and spirits selection is wide and interesting with many fun and tasty tropical drinks. I had the Coconut Sizzle which was delish. My husband opted for a few draft beers which totally hit the spot. For lunch we ordered a burger and some shrimp tacos and both were fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. We sat at the bar and the service was impeccable. Sam, the host/bartender was very friendly and informative and treated us like regulars. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back!

    Coconut Crusted Shrimp! So good!

    What a great find! Came to check this establishment out after hearing that they offered a flaming dole whip drink. Left so happy, full, and can't wait to go back! The staff working here are so friendly and attentive! The tiki decor is so fun and the surrounding somehow provided this welcoming sense of warmth; much appreciated since it was freezing outside. The food is delicious! We got the Tiki Tonkatsu Ramen and Coconut Crusted Shrimp. Loved them both so much! The broth was especially perfect for the weather! Can't wait to try their other menu items another time! The drink, appropriately named C'mon Baby Light My , is large, strong and so fun! Loved the generous portion of dole whip! Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Great spot and excellent service! I got a poke bowl ($23) that was very good. Big portion and hit the spot. It became even better with a side of spicy mayo that added a hint of spice and creaminess that balances it out. My BF got the pastrami sandwich with an apple slaw spread ($19) with macaroni salad and that was delicious as well. The apple adds a lovely sweetness to it that made me to halfsies with the beau.

    I came here on a couple days where they had happy hour and it was really fun. The bartenders were really nice. I think their names were christian and Sam. The ambience is very tropical. The first time I went, they were playing Pirates of the Caribbean the second time Gilligans Island. The food was spectacular. Definitely can't beat nine dollar chicken. They have a gorilla photo which is really cute and he can't beat the views of the lake.

    Drinks and shrimp tacos

    Great atmosphere, terrific service, absolutely delicious food and drinks!! We come up to arrowhead once a year and we'll definitely be coming back here every time from now on!

    Nice chill place. Big Island salad and the drinks definitely hit the spot. Christian was genuinely friendly and very helpful to us visitors passing thru... Thank you man!!

    I was visiting for the weekend and I was excited by this new restaurant in the square. The food was very lackluster. Service was slow. Drinks were weak. Got the original Mai Tai and it was just ok. We got the Ahi Tartare- this was a weird combo of flavors which just didn't work in my opinion. We got the wings too which was just ok. My husband got the Hulu Huli chicken plate. This was also okay. Portions were large though I got the shrimp tacos which was the best thing on the menu I think. It was pretty filling.

    Come on baby light my fire and zombie drinks

    We had a fantastic lunch at Tiki Republic. It was the perfect spot for a family-friendly meal. The service was excellent and the place is well-themed. It's a great tiki bar and restaurant. Kids had the miso ramen with tofu, and it was delicious. We had the Maui Moon rangoons and pork bowl and both were wonderful. As for drinks, we were all impressed. The "C'mon Baby, Light My Fire" cocktail was a standout and so tasty. We also tried a zombie and a mai tai, both of which were well crafted. Kids loved the Painless mocktails and pineapple dole whip ice cream. We visit a lot of tiki places, and Tiki Republic was fantastic. Can't wait to visit again soon on our next trip to Lake Arrowhead.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The bicycle theme was cute but personally I liked the barrel seating the best. There was a tv for sports on the back wall. As long as there's no one else watching, putting in a request for certain sports to be played seemed to be no issue. There's several small tables inside and extra long picnic benches outside. Seating was your choice and there was a window to watch tv but still remain outside. Cute little bar, that I'll definitely be making my way back to for a visit!
