    One of my most enjoyable dining experiences took place recently at The Magic Lamp Inn. I heard about this very special restaurant from a You Tube video with Charles Phoenix. The iconic magic lamp sign with the billowing flame is something you just don't see anymore. The hours of operation are limited (5pm -8:30 p.m.) but, don't let that stop you from visiting. Yes, there is a dress code but don't let that stop you either. Dining at the Magic Lamp is an experience so put on a dress shirt or nice dress. It's worth it. We arrived without prior planning or a reservation around 7:30 p.m. We had just left the Ontario Airport and decided to drop in. We were greeted very warmly and directed to the outdoor garden to enjoy the bar and comfortable surroundings. Within about 20 min our table was ready and we entered the lush, warm brandy and red surroundings. The jazz chanteuse serenaded the patrons and I became so relaxed. I imagine this is what fine dining was meant to be. Besides the drinks we enjoyed, we ordered the tequila pasta with shrimp, beet salad, and tuna tower. The pretzel bread was a definite highlight. The only thing that I was sorry about was that our meal ended. Plenty of parking out front. Enjoy your visit!

    This place feels like stepping into an old-town resort where everyone is dressed up, live music is playing, and the whole atmosphere instantly puts you in a holiday mood. The decorations are beautiful and unique, making the restaurant feel more like a special getaway than just a dinner spot. Service was excellent throughout the night and the staff really helped create a warm, celebratory vibe. The filet mignon was cooked well and definitely one of the highlights. The shrimp bisque had good flavor but was a little too salty for my taste. Bread and pretzel were just so-so, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, this is a great place for celebrations, date nights, or special occasions if you enjoy live music, elegant ambience, and a festive atmosphere.

    Why did it take so long to find this place?!? What a hidden gem with amazing vibes and good food. It's quite a trek from the OC but totally worth the drive!!! Came here on a Friday night after getting stuck behind a train that wouldn't move! But the hostess was just gracious and even scored us a great table just because it was date night. (Thank you!) The owner Edward even came by to make sure everyone was having a good time. (Nice touch)! They have live music- talk about real talent! We missed Frank Sinatra and Elvis but the female vocalist was amazing. Her voice was so soothing and beautiful. (Hot tip: They also have a magician on some nights!) Now for the food- yes kind of pricey but you're taking about dinner AND entertainment so totally worth it! Great portions and delish. We ordered the rib-bye and ended up taking half home. Perfectly charred and temp. Even the complimentary bread was tasty- hot and a nice crunch. Other delicious fixings included roasted mushrooms, loaded potatoes and Brussels sprouts. (Did we say we were hungry?!) Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

    As a heads up, on Friday/Saturday there is the menu item for prime rib and also on these days a magician that walks around. Other days do not include this, so I didn't get to experience this. There is also a dress code but they weren't super strict for us! Staff was very friendly from the entrance and also our waiter. He was very nice including packaging our food for us and making sure we were taken care of even when there was a sides mix-up. There's live music routinely, and the ambiance is very unique. There are mannequins and stained glass windows and little decorations here and there. As for the food, I overall felt it was very reasonably priced and high quality. I tried 3 different steaks and thought the filet mignon and Porterhouse were great. I am typically a big NY strip person, but I thought the other two were better than the NY though it was still good. I believe the NY steak was just a little overcooked which may have contributed. Mushrooms were solid, the lobster mac was tasty, and the tuna tower was yummy. Overall, it's a hidden place that I have not heard much about. Given the thought and experience of it all, I really enjoyed the place and wouldn't mind coming back. Much prefer this steakhouse in the Inland Empire region than other places I have tried. Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5

    This was our first time at this restaurant. The food was delicious . Brussel sprouts were so yummy. The service was wonderful. Amy was very attentive and the owner came by to personally welcome us to the restaurant. We will definitely come back!

    If you are looking for old school in the IE look no further than The Magic Lamp. The food here is great, along with the service. I really like the location, along with the old school feel of the Magic Lamp. The service itself is great. The interior reminds me of The Smoke House in Burbank. The staff here is always welcoming, and friendly. A must for a celebration dinner, or just a dinner.

    I have long heard the legend of this place , and was finally able to get out to Rancho and check it out . Not only did it live up to the hype , it surpassed it ! Amazing decorum , very old school charm but without being campy or overtly kitschy. Warm yet elegant , fancy but not stuffy . Great fixtures , great booths . The food was great , the staff was great , our server Lynne was one of those waitresses that seems instantly familiar . One of the proprietors came to our table and made us feel welcome . The garden bar downstairs is sublime , you can go there for an amazing date night drink if you're not doing dinner . The food is old school steakhouse fair , but well done with quality ingredients. Also , if you go on weekends , there is a free roaming table magician . Go for a special night , or A drink and Desert to impress that special someone . My highest recommendation!

    This place is pretty amazing for the decor to the serve to the food and entertainment! If you want to go somewhere for a special occasion then this is your place! I had the Chilean sea bass and it was so so perfect. For my side, I had the lobster Mac n cheese. It was so creamy and cheesy -loaded with chunks of lobster. It was just so heavenly. For dessert I had the pistachio cake! Let's just say I'd eat a whole one if I had the chance lol. Well friends, if you get that chance go! And if you do, I'll see you there!

    The ambiance and the live entertainment is so lovely. It is such an old school vibe. The food was absolutely delicious. Couldn't recommend the bruschetta filet enough! Such a fun night out place.

    Perfect restaurant for a bit of nostalgia! This steakhouse is amazing and to learn it's been around since 1955 I realize I've been missing out!! Amazing experience. It's dining at its finest, with top tier food, live music from singers like Frank Sinatra and Elvis! The night my friends and I went, Elvis entertained us all evening - such a good singer!! Food was as delicious, their bar is a trip down memory lane (fantastic espresso martini ) Special thanks to the manager Anna who helped me make a reservation for my party of 6 - I had been wanting to have dinner here for months and she made it happen! Don't wait - make the reservation and have a dining experience, not just dinner!! P.S. check out my video of their menu

    What a fantastic restaurant! From the ambience to the food everything was amazing. Magic table side and live music while you dine. Definitely a must try if you haven't ever been. Edward and Jocelyn were GREAT!!!

    I had a lovely experience at Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda). I ordered multiple gelato (i.e. Pistachio,…read moreStrawberry Cheesecake, and 3 Cioccolati). I had the Piccolo Cup ($7.95) and Regular Cup ($8.95). This silky gelato contained bold, rich flavors. It's delicious! I arrived at Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda) on Sunday (around 11:06AM). Parking is simple since the plaza's parking is big; however, it's competitive from the many cars. Staff is very professional, welcoming, and hardworking. Staff immediately offered samples. Staff also eagerly explained each gelato. Staff happily answered my questions. Staff maintained a bright, cheery smile whenever customers arrived. My order was completed immediately. As mentioned, I genuinely adored the gelato. Each flavor felt distinct, bold, and fresh. The ingredients tasted high quality, and it melted quickly once scooped. The pistachio had a fresh, natural flavor. The strawberry cheesecake had a bold strawberry taste. And the 3 Cioccolati had a clean, pure chocolate flavor. It's a delightful, special experience. Regarding ambiance, Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda) is gorgeous and upscale. It's beautiful!! There's eight shiny interior tables, a gender neutral restroom, and soothing music. It's an attractive location. Overall, I had a magical experience at Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda). Staff is exceptional, ambiance is gorgeous, and the gelato is distinct & special. If you love gelato, this is a very easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "GOO!!"

Pricey, but I figured, "Hey, inflation is wild these days." I didn't bother checking the drinks at the counter, but once I got to my car to add sugar, I realized both lattes were only filled halfway. Seriously? I went back in to ask for a fix, expecting at least an apology. Instead, I was told that's just how they serve them and that there's only one size. Funny, because when they remade them, they handed me smaller cups--so clearly, that wasn't true. To top it off, the lattes tasted like warm milk with barely a hint of coffee. Honestly, I'd expect this kind of quality from a run-down spot, not a place that looks this polished. Major letdown. Save your money and skip this place--it's not worth it.

This was not our first time ordering from Mr. Baker we usually stop in and pick cakes straight from the display case but this was our first custom cake experience, and it was so easy from start to finish. When we went into the bakery, we were given a card with the email address and told to email the baker directly. I emailed that Saturday while still in the store, and by Sunday morning I already had a response from Victoria. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! I sent her inspiration pictures, and she quickly provided three different quote options. All of the inspiration cakes I sent included fresh flowers, and Victoria explained that we would need to bring our own flowers to the bakery the Friday before pickup so they could safely place them on the cake the next morning. Everything went smoothly, and when we arrived to pick up the cake, it looked absolutely stunning! The flowers we brought in were beautifully arranged, and the entire cake looked elegant and professionally done. We ordered vanilla cake with buttercream and their Strawberry Chiffon flavor, and both were AMAZING. Everyone at the bridal shower kept talking about how delicious the cake was! So many guests had never heard of Mr. Baker before and wanted to know where the cake came from that we actually brought extra business cards and handed them out during the shower. Thank you so much to Victoria and the entire team at Mr. Baker for creating such a beautiful cake and making the process so easy. Everyone there is always so kind and welcoming, and we will definitely continue ordering from them in the future!

I ordered a strawberry matcha latte, an almond croissant, and a strawberry croissant (for my sister). Two employees were working, and the service was very kind. However, I found the quality of the drink and food to be mediocre. The strawberry matcha was decent and visually appealing, but aside from its cute appearance, nothing stood out in terms of taste. My almond croissant was hard to bite into. This was disappointing as it was flavorful. I'm not sure if it was because I went in the afternoon, but I had to bite and chew harder than expected. I've never had that experience with a croissant before. My sister had no issues with hers, so I'm perplexed as to what went wrong with my croissant.
