Bin 189 - Lake Arrowhead, California

We ate here for DINNER and here’s my break-down. Food was good but I think it was a little overpriced but I guess they gotta make their money too.

16oz ANGUS RIB-EYE:
Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just how we like it. It came with broccolinis which were sautéed and delicious. The baked potato was ok, nothing extraordinary.
ANGEL HAIR PASTA:
Surprisingly pretty good. Right amount of garlic, tomato, parsley, basil, and olive oil. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that they added goat cheese to it…which was unnecessary.
FRIED CALAMARI:
It was over fried and salty. The calamari was very chewy. I do not recommend.
DRINKS:
Lake Arrowhead Pale Ale - my husband loved it, he had three.
Old-fashioned - ok.

SERVICE/AMBIANCE: AMAZING
My husband and I stayed at the resort and noticed the restaurant during check-in. We decided to try it out and didn’t realize we needed reservations. Luckily, it wasn’t super busy and the manager was able to give us a table. Our hostess/waitress (Ana/Ava) was so friendly, attentive, and had such a great vibe to her that I had to let her manager know the amazing customer service she provided to us.

My family and I had such a lovely time at this new to us restaurant. We've been part time residents for some years now and have always been off put by the bad reviews. Finally decided to broaden our horizons and it did not disappoint. Excellent service from our attendant, Cayro, from the start to the very end. Food was great, ambiance was lovely, overall a great evening.

Was a really awesome place! We were up for a weekend snowboarding and tubing trip for my daughter’s birthday. We had a great table away from foot traffic. They had a saxophone player who actually played the Happy Birthday song for her!!! She felt so special!!! The food was great and service was top notch! Not only did our server take great care of us (even got the kitchen to make a simple off the menu pasta for my youngest), but the manager visited our table a time or two to make sure we were enjoying ourselves! Five stars for sure!

Came to get take out, was told to come back in about half an hour. Came back to order food, host in front said he would need to check how busy kitchen was. So if I sat down, kitchen is not busy for me, but if get take out , it is? They didn’t seem to want anyone to get take out and just sit down. Asked for item, host printed receipt and then was told item doesn’t exist. Overall placed look relaxing, but I recommend just getting drinks and get food somewhere else.

I'm genuinely surprised by the low ratings for the restaurant within Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa because it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The quality of food and drinks has never faltered, always leaving us satisfied with every bite and sip. The staff's attentive and friendly demeanor adds to the overall pleasant atmosphere. Each visit guarantees a great time, making it a go-to spot for memorable dining experiences. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a chance, as it has never failed to impress.

This restaurant is amazing! I wish I would have tried it sooner. My favorite dish is the Filet Mignon. The steak is so amazing, it melts in your mouth. The ambiance is incredible as well. Every table has a view of the lake, its truly a great dining experience. A hidden treasure.

It was my birthday and we decided to go the area to spend the weekend. My boyfriend picked this place and what a great option! Let's start with the decor. While we appreciated it,.and probably one of the best businesses the area has to offer, I can tell the decorations are starting to be a bit outdated. Keeping in mind the space is quite expensive or higher than average, they should deliver more uniqueness on this regard. Food was quite tasty but nothing of this world either. My $65 ribeye was good, but for that price they could have done better. HOWEVER! Big part of my 4 stars go to our server Rachel. She was so amazing, and welcoming, and kind, and knowledgeable. If ownership is reading this please give Rachel a special treatment. She made the whole experience more pleasant. Pics taken with Pixel 4 XL

While staying at the Lake Arrowhead Resort, we had dinner at Bin 189. The restaurant features a beautiful bar and a lounge where children are welcome. It also has some of the best views of Lake Arrowhead in town.

We started dinner in the lounge where we share some guacamole and chips. I sipped on a glass of white wine while my kids relaxed from the drive up the mountain.

Once our table was ready, we entered the dining room for an epicurean adventure. We started dinner with the Butcher's Block - a must when dining at Bin 189. Along with the appetizer, my husband and I shared the Caesar salad which was fresh, delicious and the perfect start to our meal.

My two favorite items on the menu are the Delmonico and the filet mignon. Both of the steaks were seasoned to perfection and arrived at the table at our desired temperature. You can't go wrong with either of these two dishes.

If you are in the mood for seafood, I recommend the Alaskan Halibut. The fish tasted as it had just been caught in the morning and the flavor profile was out of this world.

Bin 189 is one of the best restaurants in Lake Arrowhead. Don't miss experiencing this unforgettable dining experience when in the area.
