I’ve been here 3 times now & am very well pleased every time. The food is delicious, the service is great & it’s never busy. It is however a bit pricey, but well worth it. Tonight my husband had the salmon pica & I had the spinach ravioli with ricotta and artichoke hearts. Soooo good!

Probably one of the best dinners I have had on the mountain! Came with my family for a weekend getaway and gave this place a shot and it did not disappoint, we started with potato skins and they were crispy and creamy, dinners are served with a small side salad and fresh baked bread witch was pretty great with the herb butter. My oldest son ordered the chicken piccata and it was great, my youngest ordered the spaghetti in bolognese sauce reminded me of my grandmas rich and delicious, my wife ordered chicken tetrazzini it was tasty it but it wasn’t our favorite our favorite was the marry me chicken absolutely delicious packed with flavor reach and creamy a must have.

The food is just great. Really enjoy dining outside, the service is always kind and quick. I recommend their bowls of soup and side salad. Its delicious with many toppings, homemade Italian dressing, and good portions.

Everything we ordered was made from scratch and delicious. I had the clam chowder and chicken piccata and it was delicious. Before our dinners came the fresh made bread was fabulous!

My husband and I had dined here on 4/14 and were shocked at the quality of the food. The reviews for this restaurant were really great and it was a huge disappointment. Over $70 for something we could have made better at home for less than half the price. It was very reminiscent of cafeteria food and it all tasted like it was freezer food. The mozzarella sticks didn’t have any cheese in them lol. We didn’t even eat half of the food. The server gave us half off on the pizza but again.. over $70 for really terrible food.
There’s other places in big bear that have way better food.
The server was really nice and friendly.

This is a hidden gem that seems to always have a seat available. The food is very good, and they have a real chef in the kitchen that easily accommodates for food allergies and the staff always seems happy to see you. The best part is because their street sign is not readable from the street, there doesn’t seem to ever be a line here when we come even when the village is packed. It is located next to Hacienda grill across from Hamton Inn between Thrush and Summit Blvd. The creme Brule is very well executed, the pasta dishes are a go to for my son. My wife liked the portobello mushroom ravioli. I liked the fajitas.

This cozy restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of parking spots. The friendly, attentive staff made the experience even better.
The meal starts with complimentary chicken soup and bread. The Angel Hair Spiced Scallop pasta was flavorful, though a touch more seasoning would improve it. The chili added a nice kick, and while one scallop was slightly gritty, the dish was overall satisfying.
A great spot for a pleasant dining experience!

Boyfriend and I have been here multiple times, the service is so good, servers are so kind and accommodating. Menu has wide selection of food they do very well. Bug menus can cause a bit of trepidation but they truly deliver of their variety of items. The atmosphere is so honey it truly feels like it’s ran out of a home, you can tell the small staff work so hard for this place and this is a brand that deserve to thrive in Big Bear for a long time.

We enjoyed an excellent meal here tonight, our first visit since Jakobe’s opened about a year ago. The food was generous, and service was excellent, and the small interior dining room is very nicely arranged for a comfortable meal.
My wife had the Fajita meal (chicken) which was cooked and seasoned wonderfully – very flavorful, and delivered to the table on an extremely hot and sizzling skillet. The quantities were large and well seasoned with rice and refried beans – she took half of it home for lunch.
I ordered the New York Steak with cut rosemary potatoes and vegetables. The potatoes and veggies were incredibly tasty and perfectly cooked. The only slightly negative side to the meal was that the steak was not cooked as requested. I requested medium rare (the only way for a good NY steak, right?) and it came relatively lightly seared on the outside, but medium well on the inside. A little disappointing, although the flavor was still excellent. They kindly reduced our bill, which wasn’t necessary but was appreciated.
In addition to the small dining room (pictured) there is a front deck area which is a little close to the busy boulevard, and a large rear patio area that is quiet and has a pleasant breeze – although the view / atmosphere could be improved with some nicer landscaping, etc.
Overall a very nice dining experience, and we look forward to trying some different meals soon.
