Amazing Sunday Brunch!! Alfonso was the best customer service by far!! Will definitely return sooner than later!! read more

I've visited Pines well over 20 times and have generally had good experiences. There were even occasions when I accidentally showed up on the wrong date or at the wrong time, and the staff still accommodated me, which I appreciated. Last night, however, was disappointing. I had a reservation for 7:30 PM and arrived around 7:10 PM. The bar area was nearly empty, with only about 2-3 guests seated. I checked in and asked the host if we could sit at the bar, but I was told the bar was already at full capacity for the evening. We decided to play some slots while waiting, expecting to be seated shortly, but we didn't receive a text until around 7:45 PM saying our table was ready. The experience left me feeling brushed aside and unwelcome. I was looking forward to enjoying a nice steak dinner, but instead I left feeling like my business didn't matter. It was frustrating to see an almost empty bar while being told there was no availability. As a loyal customer, that was disappointing. A little more hospitality and flexibility could have turned the evening around. Instead, it made me question whether certain guests are treated differently than others. Thank you for showing your true colors that evening. read more

I had a delicious meal at the Pines tonight. They started off with this new four different styles of bread formed into one little loaf. Very delicious I then had artichoke Arcini very good with prosciutto on top Followed by New York steak bone in medium rare ,delicious. I had a side of Bernaise sauce . Scott my waiter was outstanding. The decor is very nice, huge wine selection. read more

The service and ambiance were lovely, quiet and relaxing. I was able to enjoy a dinner before a concert with my mom. We just happened to choose this restaurant because it was convenient and we ended up having a fantastic time. The dishes were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. I was surprised with a complimentary dessert because it was my birthday. Overall, loved this place and the staff. read more

Caleb was excellent! We enjoyed another celebration here at the Pines steakhouse for my birthday and concert venue. Our favorite is the fillet and the porterhouse and we also enjoyed the carrots and side. Order of scallops was very delicious. read more

Our server Scott is incredible. He kept checking in us to see if we needed anything. The only concern with the service was the food took a really a long time. We waited approximately more than an hour to receive our food. We ordered 2 rib eye steaks and 2 orders of scallops. The kitchen was not on point last night. Although my friends and I were busy talking that evening, we were also hungry too! The food was fantastic but the kitchen area needs to step up even if it's busy. 1 hour is too long to wait. If it was short staff in the kitchen, get additional chefs to assist. read more

First time here for a birthday celebration :) Upon entering there's a large bar and a sitting area where you can grab drinks or look at the steak cuts in their fridge. We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time and ushered to the dining area. The inside was classy and clean, with low lighting to set the mood and still be visible to walk to your table. Our table was in a corner with kind of a funny gap between me and husband but it was ok, we don't like each other anyways haha Our waiter Kaleb was warm, attentive and funny. He made great wine recommendations to go with our meal. I went with the wine trio with the zin syrah and my husband got his cocktail and 1 glass of red blend. We shared a porterhouse, baked potato, mushrooms. The medium rare was spectacular! We also received lots of complimentary goodies for this special bday celebration. We left feeling satisfied, happy and renewed for more drinks at other casino bars and more gambling! Don't forget to use your club card for 10% off. :) read more

Innovative melodic atmosphere A retreat. Nicely designed lighting, subdued & relaxing. Comfortable seating. John just the right amount of conversation, not hesitant to give preferences when asked. The Miso Chilean Sea-bass a little sweet for me, but cooked to perfection, very artistically presented, foraged mushrooms delicious. Wild Salmon -tender - again nice presentation, Serving sizes small compared to similar steakhouses. But quality and just right when accompanied with an appetizer and leaves enough room to enjoy dessert with a cup of coffee. Very attentive personable service, enjoyed the evening!

Going back for the millionth time to my favorite steakhouse in California. Service was exceptional today and the server was attentive and made sure our plates were clearer and table was neat/presentable. The food was exquisite like always and I got to try their harvest salad which was light and delightful before the main course. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly. The Dubai chocolate always hit that sweet tooth that I have. I can't wait back to come back for more. read more

An upscale restaurant inside the Yaamava casino where reservations are HIGHLY encouraged. You can also walk in, put your name down, and wait to see IF seating is available. Luckily, we waited about 30 minutes before receiving a text that we could be seated, however, it was at the bar. Not a deal breaker, but this is what happens when you don't plan ahead! THE FOOD. - French Baguette & Cranberry Bread (Complimentary). The baguette had a bright tang, while the cranberry bread was more nutty with a gentle sweetness. The trio of spreads were all delicious in their own way: sun-dried tomato butter was herby and savory, balsamic oil brought a sweet-tart pop, and the regular butter (sprinkled with sea salt) kept things classic and rich. - French Onion Soup. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the cheese pull did not disappoint! Highly recommend. - Braised Short Ribs. Incredibly moist, fall-apart tender, and packed with deep, beefy richness. The parsnip purée was silky, the baby carrots tender, and the bulb onions added a satisfying crunch. It was like a refined, deconstructed beef stew. Highly recommend. - 16 oz Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, this ribeye came out really juicy, tender, and oh so flavorful. The side of béarnaise added a buttery, tangy note that rounded out each bite. Highly recommend. - Creamed Spinach. Not your typical heavy creamed spinach. Instead, this version was fresher and lighter, with just enough cheese to add salt and richness. Highly recommend. THE DRINKS. - Thank You for Not Smoking. Smooth with a gentle smoky finish and a comforting hint of cinnamon. It's similar to an Old Fashioned. - Gilded Age. Crisp, subtly sweet, and fruity. I can't quite describe its likeness, but all that kept popping in my mind was an Asian pear. THE PARKING. The north garage connects to the casino via a 425-foot pedestrian bridge on level 4. This is the most direct walking access, and therefore, where everyone tends to park. The south garage is further away but they offer a courtesy shuttle that runs 24/7. THE VERDICT. One of the best steakhouses around! Their outstanding short ribs and ribeye are well worth the drive over. I'll say this again: don't show up without reservations. read more

I love coming to Yaamava - and always saw this steakhouse. I had some free money to spend here so, it was my time to try it out! I got their short rib as it was seasonal, it was so delicious. So juicy and tender - fell right off the bone. We also got the parm fries to start and a salad. The salad portion size was SO SMALL but it was okay. It was super flavorful and delicious as well. The fries were a little too parmy for me lol but it wasn't too bad. Our server was amazing and all around service was great. The vibes of the restaurant itself was also super cute and nice. Will be back! read more

Visited for the first time for 3 different birthdays, including mine. We chose this place because it's in the same place we were going to watch Anjelah Johnson live. Our waiter and his protégé were both very professional and kind. The menu was explained well and we were given great suggestions. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! we all tried a little bit of each plate that was ordered and agreed, each steak, both the japanese and US Wagyu selections, were tender and cooked perfectly. I ordered the short rib plate- it was so tender it slid off the bone, i didn't need my knife to help cut it apart. We got 3 cheesecake desserts (complementary for our birthdays) and the Salted Caramel mousse dessert. Everything from the lighting, the table settings, to the food and service were spot on. We plan to come back and enjoy another special night of indulging our appetites. read more

Sat at the bar because I was hoping for a quick bite before seeing a show. It was the exact opposite as the bartenders, especially my server, were busy tending to other things... It took forever for my order to be taken and to get the check. Wish the prawn scampi included another prawn at least for $47, otherwise it was good. read more

Absolutely our favorite venue! The food is amazing, service superb, and beautiful ambiance! We look forward to the surprise appetizer (always a special treat)! The cranberry walnut bread is over-the-top delicious! My go-to dish is the squid ink scampi. My husband loved the pork chop. Cocktails are always perfect! Our server, Richard, was charming & very attentive! Can't wait to return!. read more

Nice restaurant, but definitely overpriced for some items. They prefer reservations, but will sit you around the bar after a wait if you don't have them. We had two King Crab Legs ($75), wedge salad chopped up. Also a few drinks. They give you bread and butter complimentary. The wait staff are attentive and friendly and service is fairly quick. Not bad for NYE, but will return soon. read more

Came here for a dinner celebration for a friend's milestone birthday. Service was impeccable, and the food was fantastic. Our sommelier was well versed in various wines and overheard some of us talking about a particular wine, so he shared some info about what he knew to us. We had everything served to us family style so we were all able to try different things that our host ordered for us. While the clientele can vary and they apparently don't enforce any kind of dress code (the table sitting next to us had a gentleman in his white tank top like my dad used to wear when he is sitting on the couch on a hot day) overall the ambiance was very modern and upscale. I really enjoyed our dinner here and would recommend it if you are spending time at Yaamava. read more

The Pines Modern Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - S Highland, California

This place was very good. Loved the old fashion cocktail and only at my second drink was it that I tried the cart. The calamari was very flavorful and crispy not over fried either. The seafood tower was very good. The Crab was fresh and sweet and the shrimp and oysters were so fresh. I wasnt too much a fan of the carpaccio that was in the large clams. The steak was very good. Next time I would probably get the fillet and instead of the ribeye because the ribeye seemed a little too heavy. Service was fine, respectful very polite and kind and of course the ambience here is beautiful, but if I'm being perfectly honest, I was a fan when they had it upstairs instead, it seemed like it had a better vibe. read more

They gave us an unusual free palate cleanser that was a mini sesame seed cone that had lemon-ginger cream filling. What an unusual taste! We shared an aged Tomahawk Ribeye that was so tender.

We had the most incredible Valentine's Day dinner at The Pines on Friday 2/13 with my husband and our friends, and it was truly a night to remember. We shared the 36oz porterhouse, and I can honestly say it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. The filet was perfectly tender and melted on my mouth, and the ribeye was rich and flavorful. All steaks were cooked flawlessly at medium rare. Absolute perfection. The tableside bucatini was such a fun and delicious experience. Highly recommend but they only offer it twice a year! Homemade pasta tossed in a cheese wheel right in front of us. It was creamy, indulgent, and unforgettable. We also started the meal with the smoked crudo appetizer, which was delicate and delectable. And the desserts? Completely divine. Richard, our server, made the evening even more special. His impeccable service, attention to detail, and eloquent, warm personality elevated the entire experience. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism and charm, and we truly felt taken care of all night. The Pines delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. We can't wait to come back. read more

Welcoming inside the casino, very modern top tier service fine dining! We had both an engaging and attentive food server and beverage server. We had gotten free appetizers... house-made sourdough & butters... Delish!! While waiting for our food, which was quite a wait, but we were given a chef complimentary treat of this almond butter bite, that little thing was packing flavorfully! Wanted so much more! As for our entrees; our food was presented very nicely, flavors were there and great though just unsure about one dish, that spaghetti texture. The squid ink spaghetti, felt raw? It was a pretty hard chew, not sure if that was the intention of this dish, it was still a decent dinner. Dessert was the winner for me! Phenomenal! Just look at the love in the details. Too pretty to eat lol tasted so rich and decadent! It was a decent experience, idk if I'd come back for the expensive pasta, but I will come back to try their aged wagyu! The price is looking mighty but would come back and can't wait to try! read more

Great dinner date experience with very attentive servers. We will come back and do it again.

Adriana and Daniel C with the good hair were amazing he had his crumb snatcher paraphernalia, they were so professional and both of them had a professional and winning personality. We enjoyed ourselves and at the same time we couldn't stop laughing. There were three of us in my party and each of us had our steaks. Daniel C came to our table first and he was so kind got all our drinks and had a bundle of energy he informed us Adriana was our waitress and he was assisting her. When Adriana came over she matched all our energy with so much energy and professionalism thanks so much to the both of them we had a great time! Although Daniel was assisting Adriana I must say he is ready to be a server immediately he was proficient at what he does both of them but when we told him what we wanted he didn't miss he was on point the entire night. Their customer service was with a smile and they had so much joy and the jokes and professionalism was a blessing and we joked him back with calling him Daniel C with the good hair we couldn't stop laughing. We all even had the birthday table next to us laughing. Thanks so much the joy we truly appreciated it all! read more

Unbelievable! Ive been tp my fair share of Steakhouses but this place was absolutely amazing. The service, the ambiance, and oh the food. We started with the seafood tower and a lobster bisque. Everything was divine. For the main course, I had the lamb rack and the wife had the filet. We accompanied them with A side of mushrooms and the whiskey glazed carrots. To finish off the meal, our server brought us out this decadent cheesecake dessert on the house to celebrate our anniversary. I will definitely be gping back here. read more

Love the service and atmosphere here, everyone is so accommodating and professional. You don't need to ask for more water, it's on its way constantly. The food is well perfect, from the amuse bouche to the dessert and everything in between. We had some amazing calamari that came with a nice aioli and a basket of truffle fries that had black truffle shavings on them(not just the fake truffle oil that most places use that doesn't even taste like truffle). I think this might be one of the only spots making legitimate truffle fries in the inland empire. The filet mignon I ordered rare had a perfect internal temperature while having a nice crust and it smelled like it was done over charcoal with a nice kiss of smoke. Nice seasoning on the steak nothing crazy but that's what you want with a prime cut. My wife had shrimp pasta where the pasta was made with squid ink and that was amazing. Prawns weren't overcooked and the texture of the pasta was . We don't eat at the pines often but I am looking forward to coming back and seeing what has changed on the menu. P.S there are 2 starter breads one with butter one with clotted cream I believe they are both nice but the cream really stood out to me. read more

Good food... bone in ribeye was pretty big and good flavor 8/10 only because it wasn't dry-aged like other high end steak houses we frequent. Jumbo prawns shrimp cocktail was pretty good and actually large unlike our favorite steakhouse in Santa Monica. Squid ink pasta was good. Crab legs were good sized and didn't disappoint. Bread and birthday dessert were awesome. Servers were attentive. Very nice place except the guy at the next tables voice really carried throughout the dining area until more people arrived. Not much anyone could do about that. Other than that we enjoyed. Not your traditional steakhouse kind of a trendy twist to classic items i.e., baked potato & shrimp cocktail. Cool menu in chapters like a book. I'd come back. read more

This was a very fine dining experience. I am glad we got here early, around 5:15 pm because things did come out slowly. We started drinks, tequila shots and a tequila based drink. There was a crab gazpacho given to us, compliments from the chef. It was amazing. Very light and fresh with that pop of crab at the end. Great bread basket with a selection of butters and oil/vinegar. We ordered the porterhouse for 2 and it was worth it. They did warn us it would take longer to cook this. Bottom half filet mignonette, top half rib eye. Fantastic and perfectly cooked to medium rare. We loved the garlic cloves and shallots on the side. The creamed spinach was the best I have ever tasted. I actually took some of the cream at the bottom and put it on my steak. There was a long lag between finishing dinner and the check for some reason, but outside of that, we had a wonderful date night. They gave us a small corner booth so that we were able to. Close to each other and it felt like an intimate space, but I was still positioned to see into the dining room and enjoy the sights and sounds of the restaurant. The service was very professional. read more

This restaurant management is honestly a joke. Every time I visit the place, I have issues. At least there is one thing they are consistent about and that is bad behavior and policies. I'm not sure who is the person allowing these ridiculous policies but it is not working for you. No matter what day of week and including Friday and saturdays, this place is always half empty and yet they still gate keep seats to hotel guests for walk ins. When manager Breanna confronted, she was very rigid and matter of fact even though I am one person and wanted to sit at the bar that was half empty. Put me on a 2 hour wait list (again half restaurant empty all night) and no one as usual ever bothered to let me know. This happens all the time with their wait list. They make you make reservations and half don't show up so then they're telling their people on wait list it's 2 hour wait and guess what half the people don't show up because of this inefficiency. I'm so shocked that management is doing it this way and not noticing the amount of money it's making. The same people who have been rude and cold demeanor have been working there for over a year even though they really don't have the personalities to be in hospitality. read more

An excellent place for fine dining, a great experience for dates, birthdays, or an elevated night out. For the appetizer I ordered the calamari and the vinegar sauce paired so well with it. I couldn't stop eating it, nicely crisp and fried. My aunt ordered the lobster bisque. For the meats we went with the bone in Porterhouse and boneless rib eye. We ate it with one of each of their home made sauces (horse radish? Chimichurri, steak sauce, and a creme fraiche). Our wait staff was so attentive and helped give my family refills on their soft drinks and brought out extra sauces for us. I also ordered the miso Chilean sea bass. Great flavor and mt favorite seafood dish here. For the sides we ate it with the creamed spinach. Since this is at the Yaamava Casino you must be 21+ to enter. This is a special treat and I'm so glad to try the food here time and time again. I look forward to coming back with my family or making a reservation on my next anniversary or birthday event. read more

This was my second time coming here for Valentine's Day and I swear this restaurant NEVER disappoints which is precisely why I brought my camera with me to take some good photos of everything. The bread basket selection is always delicious as are the different types of butter they give us. We got oysters on the half shell (a first for me and my boyfriend actually) and they were DELICIOUS. We ordered a long bone ribeye that we shared and it was perfectly medium rare. The bacon and bone marrow butter was so good with it. Also really loved the truffle creamed spinach Shout out to our server Elias who gave us a chocolate cheesecake covered in chocolate ganache and candied hazelnuts for the special occasion! read more
