    Great place with some really good food. Wish there were more TV’s in the bar area, but not a lot of room for that. Amazing piano player that night. Wish he would have played a little longer tho.

    Mediocre on our last LA visit. Have been many times in the past and always great food and service so hopeful this was a one-off situation.

    Always a solid choice. The prices have definitely gone up substantially. The easiest thing to do to welcome people is to have a server there in the first minute for a drink order. This was challenging for all tables that were seated.

    One of the waiters is extremely loud and our table was next to the table he was serving to. We could not even hear eachother when he was talking to the guests at his tables which is why I marked lower on noise level. The food is always amazing here and the bartender makes the best cocktails. Can’t go wrong here!

    Been there often decades ago with my grandparents and my dad. Later, I ate there (and stayed at the inn cabins nearby 10 years ago). Great food such as the wedge salad and the braised beef with veggies and taters. Let's not forget the 3 layer chocolate that my grandma swears it to be the best. Would love to come again, like I did a few days ago.

    They didn’t have a table in the dining room available when we arrived for our reservation, which meant a wait we weren’t expecting, but the food was delicious as always. They also were understaffed because someone called out sick, so the service was a little slow, but that seems to be true everywhere around Arrowhead this time of year.
