Restaurant was busy Food were all served with such artistry!! For starters we ordered the Black Garlic Fries and yummy Bacon wrapped pork belly!! The Ahi Japanese Salad was very refreshing with the seared Ahi tuna were perfect! Now let me tell you my winning OSCAR Salmon dish!!! Nothing compared to any salmon dish I ever tasted !!! According to Paul it was Alaskan Salmon .... I could tell the freshness of the grilled filet salmon topped with chunks of lobster, shrimp and crab meat as well. Bearnaise sauce was creamy not acidic...carrots and asparagus were the perfect pair that balanced the dish ... now the garlic herb rice was a Jasmine Japanese rice cooked to perfection except few hard grains got plated underneath !! Paul our thoughtful server had the salmon dish had it prepared to share with hubby !!! So the plating was just too perfect to look appealing and appetizing!!! Nice !!! Well the desserts are to die for!!! Espresso Creme Brulee which I didn't really want to share was also the best I ever had ... Hubby had the newly creation of delicious Flourless Chocolate cake !!! Well he gobbled that cake !!! Will surely come back soon to try other signature dishes and looking forward to another scrumptious meal with warm hospitality and perfect service !'

Dear friends, It had…read morebeen some time since I visited the Bear Springs Bistro and had a meal. The menu has been updated and is set to be updated again soon for the seasonal offerings, brought to you by the outstanding kitchen of Chef Kyle. I did want to mention how good the food I had was, especially loved the Citrus Grilled Swordfish, which was exceptional in quality and taste. The freshness of the herbs mixed with brightness and tang of the acidity of the sauce really brings out the flavor in this delicious fish entree. However, it is soon to be replaced on the menu so hurry and grab a bite before it's gone!! The Bistro is also offering its sticky Korean BBQ pork ribs, which are mouthwatering and so tender the meat falls off the bone! As always, the service here is exceptional and cannot be matched. The entire staff is so warm and hospitable. So why not treat yourself and make a reservation and don't forget to tell them Ms. Ross sent you!

The ambiance was everything I love in small business and it truly was a hidden gem with unforgettable seasonal cocktails (I still won't forget the time I went when you had fried pickles - and was sold out ). They always went above and beyond in the holiday decor. The service was always nice. I just found out they're closing and wanted to write one last review. This place will be missed. It truly was a hidden gem in Downtown Riverside.

The Overland Bar in Redlands is one of the best spots in Southern California's Inland Empire to…read moreenjoy delicious food, perfectly prepared cocktails, and mood music played live on vinyl in a beautiful setting. It's a perfect place for a date or a night out with friends or family. The focal point of the main dining room is the bar, which faces the restaurant's entrance. Meticulously designed with a nostalgic feel, the bar features blonde wood shelves holding hundreds of vinyl records, carefully curated design objects, and a DJ booth neatly tucked into a corner next to the bar. The beer taps are elegantly minimalist, and every detail in the bar--for example, the old-fashioned glass syrup bottles--seems planned to give a nod to history (specifically the late 19th century, when Redlands was founded). The main dining room offers plenty of comfortable seating choices, including a long bar along the center of the room. The patio is spacious and well kept. All of the spaces inside and out have music piped in from the bar. There are two restrooms just off the patio, and these are well-maintained. On busy nights, patrons can enjoy a drink in a standing bar area just off the patio. I love that the Overland provides a choice of setting depending on the kind of night you're planning. A romantic date? Get a reservation to sit inside, and it feels intimate. Just hanging out? The bar is fun as the mixologists make excellent drinks and friendly conversation. Sitting at the bar after 7 PM, you can watch the DJs spin the platters. If you have a larger group or just like to eat alfresco, the patio is perfect. The menu offers a really nice variety of drinks, including the pricier craft cocktails, more classic, moderately priced beverages, nonalcoholic drinks, and all sorts of beer and wine. The food menu is solid, with plenty of appetizers, salads, entrées, and a dessert. The real star is the tacos! These are very moderately priced at seven dollars apiece, and all three varieties are delicious! There is a potato taco, a beef taco, and pork chili Verde taco. I highly recommend these! The green salsa they provide is extremely mild, but they do have a variety of hot sauces on hand. It's worth mentioning that even a humble plate of tacos is served on nice ceramic dishes, along with good flatware and napkins.The espresso martini cheesecake is creamy and delicious, and the portion is really generous. The staff seem to enjoy working at the Overland. The servers work hard to make sure your order is to your liking, and food comes out pretty fast. There's a good sense of teamwork among them. The staff is also accommodating about seating or any special requests. We've been there on a busy Friday night, and on a Sunday evening and late night. The Overland is always at least moderately busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. The city of Redlands should be very proud of this establishment. Go and have fun!

I attended the Legends Night event at The Pines Steakhouse and was really looking forward to the…read moreevening. When we checked in, the host explained that we would potentially be sharing tables with other guests, which we had absolutely no problem with. I simply asked if we could have a regular table instead of a booth since my guest and I are bigger guys. She agreed and seated us at a table by ourselves. A couple of minutes later, the same host came over and, in front of everyone, questioned why we were sitting by ourselves and reminded us that other people would be sitting with us. It completely caught me off guard. We already understood the seating arrangement and never asked to sit alone, so the interaction felt unnecessary and honestly a little embarrassing. I asked to speak with a manager, and Dave absolutely went above and beyond. He listened to my concerns, sincerely apologized, and handled the entire situation with an incredible level of professionalism. He didn't make excuses or brush it off, he genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable and that the rest of our evening was enjoyable. I was extremely impressed with the way he carried himself and handled the situation. Ironically, the event never completely filled up and we ended up sitting at the table by ourselves anyway. While the initial interaction could have easily put a damper on the night, Dave completely turned the experience around. That's what great management and customer service look like. He deserves to be recognized for the way he handled everything, and he's a big reason I'm leaving this review on a positive note.

Apparently, at The Pines Modern Steakhouse, water is a limited-edition menu item…read more The food? Good. The service? An impressive demonstration of how many employees can walk directly past a table while collectively pretending the table has entered another dimension. We waited roughly 20 MINUTES FOR WATER. Water. Not a dry-aged steak. Not a soufflé. Not somebody stomping grapes in Napa and personally delivering the wine. WATER. After a while, I actually started counting how many times waiters and waitresses walked past our table while we waited for water and coffee. At that point brunch became less of a meal and more of a wildlife documentary: "Here we observe the elusive server in their natural habitat. Notice how gracefully they avoid eye contact while passing the same thirsty table for the sixth time." It would have been hilarious if we weren't actually paying for this experience. What really stood out was how completely uninterested much of the staff seemed. Nobody appeared particularly happy to be there. Nobody seemed concerned that customers were sitting around waiting for basic service. It felt like everyone was simply going through the motions: walk by, look busy, disappear, repeat. And apparently we're not the first people to encounter painfully slow service here. Other reviewers have complained about waiting excessively for servers and staff standing around while customers needed assistance. So our experience doesn't exactly sound like a once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse. I also have to address something uncomfortable. I'm Asian and was having brunch with Black friends. I'm NOT accusing anyone of racism because I cannot possibly know what was going through anyone's mind. But when employees repeatedly walk past your table while providing service elsewhere, eventually you start wondering, "Is there some reason we're invisible?" I shouldn't leave an expensive brunch wondering whether our group was being treated differently. Maybe race had absolutely nothing to do with it. I genuinely hope it didn't. But the service was poor enough to make the thought cross my mind, and that's not a feeling any restaurant should leave a customer with. The frustrating part is that THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY GOOD. That's what makes this experience so ridiculous. You can serve excellent food, but if customers need to consider sending out a search party to locate someone willing to refill a glass, something has gone terribly wrong. A restaurant positioning itself as an upscale steakhouse shouldn't make basic hospitality feel like an optional DLC package. Beautiful restaurant. Good food. Service with all the urgency of someone waiting for their shift to end. Maybe next time I'll bring my own water bottle, coffee thermos, and a little bell. Or possibly a flare gun. At least then somebody might notice the table.

We stayed the weekend at Lake Arrowhead and was walking around the village. We stumbled upon this…read moreTiki bar and decided to check it out. 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.

We decided on weekend brunch, especially since there were endless mimosas. Our kids have a recollection of being down the class umbrella alleyway, so they were amazed when they saw it. A short while later, we were in front of the restaurant and were quickly seated by the staff. They didn't ask if we preferred outdoor or indoor seating, but we were seated inside right next to the kitchen. We heard that indoor seating was better for service anyway. The interior of the restaurant was "very fancy," and my daughter thought we were in a date spot. We knew we wanted French fries and opted for the garlic Parmesan fries. At first, the kids were weirded out by the arugula, but my daughter ended up enjoying it, noting the bitter and salty notes. My son devoured the entire plate (not the arugula) and asked for another round. We also ordered the lemon ricotta French toast, made from Brioche bread, lemon blackberry butter, whipped lemon ricotta cream, blackberries, mint, and maple syrup. They perfected the crispy exterior, which contrasted well with the fluffy bread. My wife ordered the breakfast pizza--a focaccia pizza topped with marinara, ham, spinach, fresh tomato, red onion, a sunny-side-up egg, and herb-infused maple syrup. This was really delicious with the tart, fresh tomatoes, the salty ham, and the sweet maple syrup. I ended up eating the sunny-side egg by itself, so we didn't get to try the pizza with the egg. Lastly, I ordered the steak and eggs, but it was sadly a small portion. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out medium. The seasoning was a bit strange and would have been better with simple salt, pepper, and garlic. The mimomas really made my wife happy. She started feeling it pretty quickly. She chose the pineapple juice while I got the traditional orange. Not sure if the alcohol made the food better or the other way around. I was brought to reality when I saw the expensive bill, though.

This is a really nice place to chill, sip a drink, and enjoy the view of Disneyland. The food isn't cheap--a burger is $26. I ordered the half rack of ribs, and they were really good. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender with lots of sauce. The cornbread was okay, and they put a frozen herb butter on top. I honestly would have preferred the butter at room temperature. The coleslaw was freshly made and went really well with the ribs. I like this place for the view and the food. If you're in the area and want to relax, have a drink, and enjoy the view, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. I walked over to Downtown Disney afterward and had a fun night in Anaheim!

We enjoyed pretty much everything we ordered. I had 12oz Ribeye and it was surprisingly good. Cooked to perfect medium and very flavorful. Pan seared seabass was the crowd favorite and absolutely divine. Crisp, flaky and buttery makes for well-prepared fish. Red pepper coulis sauce pairs nicely with the fish and really bring this dish together. The Italian Market Sandwich was delicious. Neapolitan flatbread holds up well during each bite. They were out of Daou Cabernet Sauvignon wine and we had to settle for J. Lohr brand instead, which I thought was decent alternative. Can't go wrong with Paso Robles wines. For dessert, we got banoffee sundae pie which was ice cream pie, and it was bomb. Incredibly creamy and flavorful dairy dessert. Though service was slow, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

However, once we were seated and ordered our food, we waited over 30 minutes. I'm not sure what the issue was but the kitchen was at a stand still. I don't know if the waitress forgot to put our order in or if the kitchen was on fire. The ambiance is casual. The lighting is dimmed and there's a lot of decor. I did appreciate the fresh flowers on the table. They offer table and booth seating. There's quite a bit of seating available if you have a large party. As for the food - it was MEH! I ordered the Asada Breakfast Burrito and it was not worth $25. It was small and had nothing but tortilla at the bottom. It's served with home fries. I was surprised the home fries weren't inside the tortilla as part of the burrito. The home fries were ok. They were crispy and lightly seasoned. I felt they could've been cooked in the center more. The meat in the burrito was marinated well and it was made to order but the value is not there. I requested water with lemon to drink and they actually serve their water infused with lemon. When I drank it, I know why. It was the nastiest tasting tap water ever. I think they use the lemon to mask the flavor. Overall, I probably would never eat here again. At least not for breakfast.
