I returned them to the waitress she asked if I wanted to try Coke Zero. She delivered two more glasses of soda but those two were completely flat, no carbonation at all. We decided to go next door to Nueva Vallarta for Mexican food, air conditioning and carbonated soda. Our understanding is that Sandy's is under new ownership. The menu appears to be the same and the food under the last owners was great. We plan to give it another try in a few weeks see if it is back to the great place that it used to be. Fingers crossed!

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.

From the moment we walked in, she was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely fun to be around.

After overcharging me for kids' chicken tenders, I politely asked to be reimbursed. Instead of correcting the mistake, she disappeared seemingly hoping I would forget about it. When I followed up, she yelled at me in the middle of the bar over $10. Completely unprofessional and embarrassing. To make matters worse, when I called back to speak to a manager, the phone was left hanging and I could hear staff insulting me on the other end. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. The only saving grace was Leah, the manager, who was kind and professional when we finally connected. Unfortunately, one good interaction doesn't make up for the overall experience. I would avoid this place if Hillary is working
