Very happy…read morewith how everything went :) Staff were so pleasant, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we stepped in! Our hostess was wearing a very cute Christmas hat, and she said she wanted to spread the holiday spirit! Our waitress was the sweetest ever; she was very helpful with our orders and even laughed at one of our funny interactions haha Everything tasted perfect! We shared the Kalua pork bowl and the Beachfire burger. The pork was extremely soft and tender, the coconut rice was fragrant, and the coleslaw was refreshing. The beef patty was cooked exactly to our liking, and my friend devoured the macaroni salad he chose as the side. The non-alcoholic Thai iced teas were delicious and innovative, we've never tried it with orange slices but it works so well! We did notice the drinks were about 80% ice though... I met the nicest, happiest woman in the restroom, and she recommended the sticky wings!! And the table next to us kept ordering more food (seriously, the menu was amazing) which they laughed about with their waiter LOL The decor was festive and inviting. They have touch-activated ambient mood lamps on each table and a fireplace playing on a screen (or was it real?) Highly recommend!

I got a Kalua pork bowl and it was kind of tasty! Definitely very sweet and heavy on the marinade,…read morebut it paired well with rice and cole slaw. Service was VERY SLOW. I think it took 10 minutes to get water, 10 minutes to find someone to get our order in, and then 20-30 minutes until our food came out. Definitely a very slow paced restaurant - come if you're not in a hurry and in a chill mood. We actually came here because all the other restaurants we wanted to try had a 2+ hour long wait and Sunsets was only about 30 minutes. You can walk around the village while you wait, which helps a lot.

Went here with a party of 6. Came here wondering why it was…read moreempty on a Sunday then I figured why after. The food was nothing to be proud of. They need to learn what seasoning is. The basket of fries were $12 dollars and was about the worst fries I've had. Zero salt or any flavor. The brisket sandwich and the rack of ribs were also dry and had no taste. (Flavor) I ordered a beer which they were out of then changed my choice which the waitress came back and told me they're out of that one too so I just ordered a Coke which never came so I had to ask her for it again. The waitress wasn't that bad though she tried. The fact that our bill was $80 dollars for one beer, one coke, fries, pork rinds, and a brisket sandwich was insane. The pork rinds were from the store bag with seasoning on them. Literally the only thing that had seasoning. Basically this place was not worth it and I don't understand how someone would go more than once. Will never come back to this place and I hope this helps both a person interested in going and also the people who work here. Our whole party was dissatisfied with this place and saw why it was so slow on a Sunday afternoon.

I tried to come out once a month with my dogs and get a beer and a small appetizer at each location and usually dinner at the last location. This place was the best by far we were greeted by this tall gentleman with the beard bald guy super cool dude. This waiter was amazing full of personality. Customer service skills was excellent. We ordered the California Dog tater tots with garlic Parm and a peanut butter and jelly burger that was to die for everything. Everything was amazing except for it being a little windy on the patio and a little chilly, but that was the least of our worries our dogs were comfortable. The food was amazing. The ambience was exceptional and the service was top-notch. Thank you sir for the amazing recommendations. We will be back for sure from your friends with the Doberman and German Shepherd dogs. Thank you lakefront

Stopped in from West LA for a late dinner during this most recent Valentine's Day & President's Day…read morelong weekend and it was honestly better than we were expecting. 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.

I see quite a few 5 stars/4 some 3, now to start with, I was told about this restaurant from a lady…read moreat front desk where I was staying and also made reservations ahead of time before going to Lake Arrowhead since this was going to be for Thanksgiving Dinner ONLY. I had tried another restaurant in the past, but wanted something different. Also, let's face it, around Lake Arrowhead only, there aren't many restaurants to choose from. The rest is all fast food. I was coming from a couple of hours away and obviously wanted to make sure I had a place to have Thanksgiving dinner. Therefore, as far as rating this restaurant for its regular food, I can't do that because I went for Thanksgiving dinner only. My experience as sadly as it is to say was literally the worst I've ever had, not been mean even if it sounds that way, but it is a true statement and it doesn't make me happy to say it, but reality hurts sometimes. We walked in and I can only say, it wasn't what I would normally agree to go to, not terrible but not impressive either. Casual for sure, boots and a cowboy hat if you have it, will do the trick. We were seated right next to the bar, this is NOT a huge place to begin with, so the noise from the bar was not pleasant to begin with. We sat down and a waiter came over, he was nice at first, the menus were not given out because it was strictly Thanksgiving dinner and the copy paper already waiting for you on the table pretty much told you what you were getting. Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey/ham combo or only turkey with all its trimming that you normally eat on Thanksgiving, which it was easy to order obviously, didn't make the waiter sweat either. We told him combo for both of us. I am not kidding when I tell you that not even 5 minutes later, the dishes came to our table. I was still taking my jacket off. I get it that everything had to be ready to go and prepared to make it fast and all, but that immediately turned me off. The food itself aside from being cold, not one thing on that plate was even warm, the presentation was absolutely awful, I still say and believe that had I gone to Dennys, they probably would have done a much better job and not charge $40 dollars a plate and already added 20% tip to it either. The food literally looked nothing like you would expect from a restaurant like this. It wasn't a dump!!! It wasn't attractive to me, but it was a restaurant, nevertheless. That food was simply disgusting. The plate came filled with everything that looked store bought from their not even market but like a 7/11 in the city. Filled with disgusting and totally salty gravy, not homemade of course, and it was which it wasn't, the chef or cook had a lot of fun with the salt or dropped it in it by mistake, that's how salty it was. The mashed potatoes awful, cold, not soft, have no idea what was in it, came in a made round ball, by the way everything on one plate, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, a tiny bit of greens, wherever those two tiny balls of orange things were, a tiny bit of cranberry in a tiny plastic container, a small piece of bread. All just thrown on this plate that honestly made me sick to even look at it. Been Thanksgiving and all, we waited to eat knowing it was going to be quite a bit of food, so we were hungry. My girlfriend literally couldn't eat it. She had a bit of the turkey while trying to find it underneath all that disgusting gravy and she said that it was the only thing that tasted ok, the ham was just as bad as the rest of the stuff on top of it. She literally had three bites of it, that was it. I had more because I was hungry and there was no other place to go unless we wanted to go to McDonald which after that meal, would have been a much better choice and a lot cheaper. My girlfriend had no dinner basically and I had what I was able to eat, but it was just bad. To top it off, came the pie. Now, my girlfriend loves pumpkin pie, I do as well, she makes the best pie from scratch. Two pumpkin pies came. Again, what on earth were those pies, we still discussing it, how can you go wrong with pumpkin pies, well, this place managed to do so. We even asked them what on earth these pies were and the waiter simply said "it's pumpkin pie", no it's not we clearly said back, but he just kept saying it was and that was it. We both couldn't eat it and left it. No one ever came around through our dinner to ask if everything was ok, no one asked us if we needed more to drink, nothing. $115 dollars. The tip was already included as I mentioned that it clearly said on the menu at the end of it that 20% was going to be included. This dinner was worth and only if you were totally desperate, $10 dollars a plate MAX. The waiter did not deserve his tip as he did nothing for it, the only time we saw him was of course to bring us the check. Worst experience ever, never again at this place, I don't even think I would take a chance on their regular menu after this.

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!

No complaints here.. well maybe just one but I was given a quick fix when I expressed my disappointment when they didn't serve blended drinks. Not to worry the coffee shop does and it's only a few steps away! This place was cute with tables or bar seating available. 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!
