New location on the lake makes this a great spot for busy weekends in town or summer afternoons on the new lakeside patio. Came in to try for a drink at the bar but was regulated to a sit down ?.Same lackluster decor as the previous location, music and atmosphere needs a boost of energy. Maybe the owners are out of touch with modern dining but I will come back in summer for patio drinks. Prime location, just be more Oakside..ish.

Just wow! The food is amazing. It is expensive, but if you have two in your party, split it! The inside looks out on the lake reminiscent of the cafe at the river in Laughlin. Very attentive staff. The tastes were amazing.

Delicious food. Huge menu. Comfortable surroundings. Lake view. Plenty of easy parking (rare in Big Bear). Reasonable prices. Chicken Marsala was very good.

Beautiful space inside. I thought that because the menu was extensive it wouldn't be great- we were pleasantly surprised, it's pretty decent.

They messed up on my order and had to fix it. Also, we couldn't taste any alcohol in their Crazy Mule. Mostly ice. Otherwise nice place.

The food was huge - I only ate 3/4 of my meatball sub & I am a card-carrying member of the clean plate club! My daughter really liked her GF club sandwich - she only ate half of it (most GF bread is tiny - this was not).Dietary restrictions: They were well-versed in gluten-free options.

Honestly, the absolute Best restaurant around! I Haven't found any other place where I've ordered something different every time and was just amazed. Good variety of fusion dishes to choose from! Love this place!

I had the opportunity to eat at Santana and Mavericks this past summer and selected the calamari appetizer and the chicken parmesan as my main course; both were large portions and excellent. I sat on the patio and the atmosphere was wonderful.Because of my experience I brought my wife the other night. We sat inside which felt like a school cafeteria with long tables in a large room. They do have a few booths available, but again the atmosphere is missing.We shared the calamari appetizer which again was excellent. My wife had the lamb shank and she was extremely disappointed. While the portion was large with 2 shanks, she said it was over cooked and flavorless. I decided to have the scallops and shrimp with angel hair pasta. It too was disappointing. The pasta was over cooked and not drained; it was like eating a bowl of soup, and it too was flavorless.The menu is huge with selections from Mexican, French, Asian, Italian, American, seafood, steak, and pizza. A large menu may appeal to many people, but a large menu means the restaurant can't be an expert at anything.I don't know if I'll be back.

We went here for dinner because we were staying at a motel nearby, and it was a short walk to the restaurant. It was not busy at all for a Friday night. I got a shrimp salad, another person in my party got the salmon dinner, and another got a steak. Everyone was satisfied with their meal but not overly impressed with the quality. After I finished my meal, I took a drink of my cocktail and saw 4 dead black ants in the glass. I was thoroughly disgusted after that. I didn't visit the restroom. I usually try to do so in order to include it in my reviews.

Atmosphere is good. Good views. Poor to average food at least the ravioli and a Mexican chicken dish. Probably ok to eat here if you’re drunk; other than that, there’s better food elsewhere. Good service.
