We came here looking for a great experience due to the view they had, but unfortunately left with…read moresome of the worst experience I ever had in a restaurant, service was OK. It was kind of fast and came to see how we were doing every few minutes. The bad experience starts with the food, first of all the price is very expensive compared to the quality of the food, about $30 for two tacos not mention that one taco had only four little shrimps, my wife got the flautas and as soon as she got them, we noticed there were mosquitoes on the food so we returned the plate We ended up eating at a different time because of this problem we still got charged for it, nothing special on the Michelada, which is 18 bucks for only one beer and clamato At the end, we order a dessert of fried ice cream and unfortunately, another bad thing with this food a pubic hair at the bottom of the fried ice cream. It was very nasty. I decided not to complain anymore, but instead to leave a review, this is the first and last time that I'm coming to this place Another thing to point out is the bathroom is in a horrible condition, they don't take the trash out once the bin is full so there's many things that they really have to work on

I will tell you, since I knew what was here before it made it difficult to see this as a bistro in Agua Fria.. Walking inside and seeing the way the place was laid out.. It's still small, warm, and tables close together.. The Staff are super friendly and welcoming.. We ordered Shrimp and Gritts and Chicken Orecchiette... Both of the Dinners Were Tasty.. To be honest the prices are a bit high and makes you not want to order starters or desserts as the entrees are on their own.. No breads or anything to go with your dinners.. Parking is limited just FYI

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and really makes you feel like part of the community. The food is consistently great, but my absolute favorite is the brisket -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor every single time. And if you come on the weekend, the live band takes the whole experience to another level. Great music, great food, great people... it's the perfect combo. It's the ideal spot to relax after a long day, hang out with friends, or enjoy a good meal on the mountain. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop by. Highly recommended!

I loved the staff at Stockade Grub and Whiskey! It was a full house and we had a party of 5 but…read morethey did what they could to sit us down as fast as possible. We opted to sit outside and they turned on all of their outdoor heaters for us, even though we're were initially the only ones out there. It was a cold night but the heaters made it comfortable. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. One of my friends ordered the bacon bbq burger with onion rings. We split these plates so we could both try two different dishes. I accidentally ordered a buffalo sauce instead of the bbq for my nuggets, and I was not a fan of the sauce. It was a dark sauce with too much smokiness to it. My friend ordered a side of bbq and that one was much better. The tenders are crispy and pair well with their bbq sauce or their ranch. The burger was also tasty. Fries were okay and I did not like their onion rings. They had a different taste to them. I couldn't put my finger on the flavor but it wasn't good in my opinion. My other friend ordered mozzarella sticks, and they were not good. No cheese pull, and it honestly tasted like moderately fried string cheese. The food took a really long time to come out. I know they were busy, but once the food came, we inhaled it because of how hungry we were. The vibes there are excellent though. We really enjoyed the music and the staff were fantastic. I still recommend making a pit stop here if you're ever in the Crestline area.

Pagliuso (Lake Arrowhead)…read more If you're in Arrowhead and want an unforgettable dining experience ans Italian escape in the mountains, this is your spot! We made reservations and recommend you do the same! First, the atmosphere is made with love and you will be greeted with genuine hospitality. Chef Antonello Zito is a Gran Champion of Chopped Battle Italiano, and the menu reflects it--tradition, technique, and authentic ingredients. We started with the Insalata Mista: organic spring mix + arugula topped with tomatoes, olives, balsamic glaze, and extra virgin olive oil. We added the burrata--fresh, clean, and the perfect way to open the palate. For mains: * Braciole Pasta -- thin-sliced braciole beef rolled with garlic, basil, Parmigiano Reggiano, Italian parsley, and herbs, then slow-cooked for over 6 hours in house-made tomato sauce and poured over rigatoni. Pure comfort, done the old-school way. * Carbonara -- linguine with fresh egg yolk, pecorino, and imported guanciale (pork cheek). Simple, rich, and properly executed--no shortcuts. We enjoyed a glass of red wine with dinner, and then finished with espresso and the homemade tiramisu--absolutely divine.

You're better off buying a hungry man or lean cuisine at the grocery store. Far cheaper than the $50 I spent on one dish with no drinks. I'm very disappointed with the quality of food on the mountain.

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.

When we arrived, we were told it would be a two hour wait so obviously we decided to head next-door to Rosalva 's. It's important to know that it's directly off the highway so be wary when pulling in or out of the parking. There are enough spaces for about a dozen cars, but if those spaces are full, you may have to choose another option. Inside is fairly small, but they have a large outdoor patio that is popular during the summer and warmer months. Service was very fast and the menu itself is very large. For this visit, I decided to try the Steak Wet Burrito and enjoyed it. It was a large sized portion and overall it was pretty good. It's not quite as great as you get down at sea level, but given the location I would say it's one of the best options in Lake Arrowhead for Mexican food. I would stop in again next time I am visiting and would recommend to any fan of Mexican cuisine.

I had come with my family to enjoy lunch on a Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately the experience…read morewas not pleasant. The restaurant at the time was not very busy and we were seated quickly. Upon arriving I excused myself to use the restroom while my party started looking over the menu and considered ordering. Our expectation was to dine in for kbbq which is primarily advertised. When I had returned I was informed the waiter was somewhat unclear, rushing my family to order and seemingly appearing stressed. We had all wanted to clarify to be sure the order was correct and upon learning it wasn't we kindly asked to be switched over to the side we'd be able to grill our meat and enjoy the banchan side dishes. The waiter clearly became upset and ordered us to take our leave of the first dining section we were seated and switch to the grill section. As we followed we remained calm but confused as to why he was so irritated. The miscommunication stemmed from his lack of patience in explaining the menu to us as it was our first time dining there. He explained everything very quickly and that lead to the misunderstanding of having ordered a dish he had recommended but we weren't necessarily intending to order. Later having being sat down at the kbbq section he proceeded to grill the meat for us and deliver the side dishes, however he deliberately began to rudely toss the dishes which is where I drew the line and exchanged words with him expressing that was not necessary. We did not want him around after that fact. All in all to say the service was not amiable. When I also brought it up to the owners (I presume) it quickly became clear there would be no need to bring it to the waiters attention as he came over looking for confrontation in front of them and other patrons whilst I was voicing my concerns. Very disappointing. On the matter of food we enjoyed the freshness of the vegetable side dishes and the duck meat that was ordered. The acorn jelly was a nice touch as the owner explained how it was made to us. Nonetheless it was not worth going back for.

The duck BBQ and acorn jelly are so good I had to come back again with my family. The location is literally in the middle of nowhere. I asked the owner about the banchan and acorn jelly, and he told me everything is made in-house, which you can definitely taste. This time we ordered the duck BBQ (오리 구이), seasoned deodeok (양념 더덕 구이), and acorn jelly (도토리묵). The grilled duck with the deodeok was the perfect combination. You can taste the pure, natural flavors of the ingredients. Nothing artificial or overly processed. Usually after eating out, I'm chugging water all day because the food is too salty or MSG-heavy. Not here. The flavors reminded me of real Korean home cooking! The space is very spacious and comfortable, making it great for a relaxed meal. They're only open on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, so I'd recommend calling ahead to double-check before going. The staff was friendly, and the owner even stopped by our table to ask how everything tasted. Generous portions and amazing food! Pairs perfectly with makgeolli. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the stop.
