We stood in the entry waiting to be greeted and seated. There was a bartender and a waitress that we could see. Neither far from us. Direct line of sight. The waitress was busy chatting up a male patron who was sitting at the bar. Not serving him food just hanging out talking. The bartender looked to be working straightening up her area. Neither acknowledged us. We were just standing there waiting patiently. We waited about two minutes. I realize this wasn't a long time but they were both right there very close to us and neither acknowledged us in any way. Even a signal to us like be right with you...any acknowledgment would have been acceptable and we'd have waited. Finally we turned to leave. As we were exiting, the bartender told the waitress there were people waiting (something along those lines). She said ah ok as we were just about out the door. The waitress could have cared less. Even a fib like I'm sorry I didn't see you would have worked. Nothing. Service here sucked last time and this time well...we had a great lunch across the street. We will be spending our money elsewhere.

We always order the ribeye steak and split it because the portion is huge and always cooked just right. It's one of those meals we look forward to every time we come up. The karaoke is another reason we keep coming back. It's always a fun atmosphere, whether you're singing or just watching everyone else perform. The staff has always been friendly, and the whole place has that laid-back local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're visiting Big Bear, definitely add Murray's to your list!

He is the rudest, negative and most unfriendly person I think I have ever met! I got up went to the restroom and he trashed my water and napkins. When I asked if I could have more water with lime I was given water with lemon (not a big deal) then I jokingly made a comment about the napkins! Tony proceeded to tell me to go to another bar and closed us out! He said a few more choice words I won't repeat! He is bad for your establishment! There was another patron that was having the same issues! Needless to say the two brand new beers we were just served were left untouched I would come back as long and Tony isn't working!!!!! Best thing you could do is fire him

It did move pretty fast than expected and service was quick. While my husband and I were waiting, we were reviewing the menu. They had a lot of good choices that definitely sounded good for Sunday breakfast, and eventually I settled on the corned beef hash plate with potato's and fruit instead of eggs. My husband saw the chalkboard menu and chose the kalbi short ribs with fried rice and Mac salad. We also added French toast On the side to share. After placing our order, they let us know what seat number we were seated at and went outside to our table. The outdoor patio was very nice, open spaced and shaded well enough that the sun wasn't reaching us. The seats were comfortable enough and the table space was generous for a party of 4 (I know they had tables for 6 and combined tables for larger parties). When our food was brought out and we began to eat, the food had a lot of flavor. I did pick off my husband's plate and have to say everything he had was very good. I have no complaints about the taste or presentation of the food we got, and would definitely check it out again to try something else.

I stopped by this small, local brunch-style café across from Costco and near Ontario Mills. The…read morecafé has a fun island vibe with Hawaiian-inspired breakfast dishes, island music playing in the background, and a cozy, country-style aesthetic. The staff was really nice, and even though the place was busy and clearly popular, my food came out surprisingly quickly. I ordered the strawberry matcha, which was probably my least favorite part of the meal. The matcha itself wasn't very strong, and I didn't get much strawberry flavor either. When I saw another strawberry matcha come out, it actually looked different from mine, so I'm not sure if that one had extra strawberry added. Mine definitely wasn't on the sweet side, so I asked if they could make it sweeter, and they added what tasted like vanilla. It was okay, but definitely not my favorite matcha. For food, I ordered the Katsu Chicken Loco Moco, and this was much better. The gravy was absolutely delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the chicken was nice and crispy. The fried rice was okay but rounded out the dish well. One thing I thought was especially thoughtful was that they brought out a carafe of water even though I was dining by myself. They also serve the utensils and napkins in a little basket, which was a cute touch and added to the overall experience. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the Loco Moco. The matcha could definitely use some improvement, but I'd still give this place 4 stars and would be open to coming back to try some of their other Hawaiian-inspired breakfast dishes

The apple cranberry salad was excellent and tasted very fresh. The steak was very tender, and the herb crusted salmon with pilau rice was solid as well. The ambience was lively without being overwhelming, and the beautiful elaborate glass dome really makes the space feel special. Service was great throughout the evening. Attentive, warm, and present without being pushy or constantly interrupting the meal. Overall, a very good dinner and a spot I'd happily come back to when in Big Bear Lake.

This restaurant is inside Chateau Big Bear and features a 57-foot ornate Tiffany dome. On this evening, my family and I got to see pianist Mike Cross perform blues music along with a drummer and bassist. Mike was very friendly, and we got to exchange greetings after the show. We got the chicken marsala, spaghetti bolognese, and Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken marsala came as a big portion with a lot of mashed potatoes along with steamed carrots and charred broccoli. It was delicious with the rich and savory marsala wine sauce. Also, I never realized that charred broccoli can be so tasty. Service was a little spotty as it took long to flag a server for drink refills. Otherwise, this was overall an enjoyably memorable dining experience with my family.

Had dinner here last night with my fiancé and both of us were so thoroughly impressed by every…read moreaspect of our experience - that I just had to log-in to write this review. There were a a handful of people waiting to be seated when we arrived and the couple before us were seated at the last outdoor patio table available. The hostess told us that we could go upstairs to the bar area and sit anywhere we wanted and a server would be with us directly. So that's what we did. As a side note, the whole vibe of the restaurant was very comfortable and the building itself is pretty remarkable. Water and menus were delivered within minutes of us selecting our table, and our waitress Victoria maintained that same level of attentiveness the whole time we were there. The biggest shortcoming of so many restaurants in and around Big Bear is the bar and their specialty drinks. But this place just slam dunked on every other restaurant we've ever tried over the years - and not just for the drinks. I love a good old fashioned but until last night, every place I'd been to served their old fashioned in a glass full of ice like I was getting a soda at a fast food drive through. Not here. A proper big block ice cube made the "Maple old fashioned" (hands down) the best drink I've ever had. (I think they've got like 7 or 8 different varieties of the old fashioned and I will definitely be back to try them.) Our potato skins appetizer was on another level and that was before our entrees even arrived. My beef dip sandwich was perfect as was wifey's chicken Scaloppini. The timing of food arriving and the periodic check-ins from our waitress was flawless. We spoke briefly with the bartender, Doug (who may or may not have been one of the owners) to express how much we enjoyed our drinks and dinner. The hallmark of a well-run restaurant is that everyone who works there conducts themselves like it's their name on the sign out front. That's exactly what we got from everyone involved. Whoever is in charge of the kitchen staff deserves a Michelin star rating. The rest of the staff is equally impressive. I can't say enough about this place. Excellent drinks, excellent food and dynamite service. If you want a top-notch dining experience in Big Bear, this should be your first and only choice. From now on, it'll be mine.

We're a family of four with a well-behaved standard poodle, so we completely understood that our seating options were limited. What we didn't understand was watching two other families with dogs arrive after us and get seated well before us, along with what felt like half of Big Bear. Our "table is ready" text finally arrived 53 minutes after we joined the waitlist. If the real wait is an hour, just say an hour. At least then we could have taken our dog for a hike, grabbed lunch somewhere else, and possibly returned in time for our table.

Patty greeted us when we came in the door and said we could sit wherever we wanted. She was lovely, very attentive and helpful. Her sister owns the place. She even gave us scads of recommendations for other local places to try and things to do. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan with a side house salad while I got the scallop fettuccine dish and splurged the $3 extra to get their Caesar salad (totally worth it, made in house). Everything is made to order and each dinner came with a board of homemade bread and house made butter for the table. Folks. That bread. Was So Good. Soft and tasty and the parmesan, garlic, parsley butter melted right on it. There was something that didn't hit my palate right on my dish, so Patty offered to get me something else. I decided against that (because the scallops themselves were stellar) but I agreed to some extra Alfredo sauce to mellow out the flavors in the pasta, which worked great! When she learned it was our anniversary, Patty gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house the likes of which I have never tasted before. I don't order cheesecake often, but this was beautifully creamy and sweet. If you want to support local businesses, I highly recommend Jakobe's. They're good people who cook great food and care about their community. SUPPORT LOCAL! DON'T LET THE CHAINS WIN!
