Bin 189 - Lake Arrowhead

Food is good, but the menu hasn’t changed in a long time. It’s good for a hotel restaurant.

This was our 2nd year coming to town for the New Year’s Eve celebrations. However, the overall dining experience this year was not as good as last. I’d recommend staying away from the Strawberry Peak cocktail as it really doesn’t have any flavor and is quite costly. My husband and I both got the filet steak for our main. Mine was really nice, but his was terrible… something was not right with that cut of meat. The meat looks itself was stringy and wouldn’t stay together… we brought it to the waiter’s attention and he offered to replace it. My husband didn’t want another one as he was kind of grossed out and no other compensation was offered. The overall service of this place is great and the ambience is super cute and cozy. Since we had a great experience last year, we’d still give it another try to see if this year was just an off year.

The New Year’s Eve pre fixe menu sounded good on paper but food was very basic and either extraordinarily salted or very bland. Everything was cold and probably made hours in advance. I understand it’s NYE and prices are bumped up for the occasion , but we definitely did not get what we paid for. $30 for a not so great martini to boot ! Very disappointing.

It's probably one of the best places to eat a fancier meal in Arrowhead, the Ossobuco was very good, and the fish and chips were great! We went for New Years and it was kind of hard to get a reservation, but we're seated finally!

I had a wonderful experience at the Christmas dinner. The food was absolutely delicious!
