OMG, this was good! I bring guests here for the atmosphere and the view from the open patio! Inside the restaurant it is also relaxxing and tranquil during the day. Thank you so much for revamping my favorite mango pineple salad on the menue. At some point it disappeared, but I am so happy it is back! I asked the chef if they had nuts without sweet glazing, and they did! That salad absolutely makes my day! My guests enjoyed it too. The young lady waitress was super friendly, pleasant and courteous, and she offered us great options from the menu. Thank you!

I’ve been to this restaurant before and it was very nice. However, today was a different experience. We were sat outside with a beautiful view. We were starving and couldn’t wait for some good food. It took 20 minutes to get a server to take our order, another half hour to get our app, and another 45 minutes to get our entrees. As soon as they set our food down we gave them our credit card to pay the bill because we seriously didn’t know when we would see anyone again, and by this point we just wanted out of there. I had no idea who our server was. There seemed to be about 6 different people walking around and it was someone different with every visit to our table. We were so looking forward to the calamari and it was a few overcooked, rubbery calamari’s on an enormous bed of steak fries. I love steak fries, but would never order them because I’m trying to watch carbs and we were so ravenous that we at them all. When we finally got the food, it was pretty subpar. Overall, it was beautiful, the people were very nice, but the service was pretty terrible and very expensive. Don’t think we’ll be back.

Bin 189 was such a great experience. The atmosphere and décor are amazing — super cozy but still elevated, the kind of place you actually want to hang out in. Our server, Cayro, was awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and went out of his way to make me a raspberry iced tea even though it’s not on the menu. That kind of effort really makes a difference. Overall, everything felt welcoming and top notch. Highly recommend checking this spot out — I’ll definitely be back.

Everyone from the restaurant staff was superb. From the manager, to the host, to the server, and as well as the gentlemen who assisted us opening a champagne bottle. The staff made the special occasion really special and for that I truly thank them. Everyone here is great, thank you for creating a great memory for my girlfriend and I.

We went for dinner with a special BIN 189 Thursday night BOGO 1/2 price entree that was posted online. The restaurant manager argued / refused to accept the special deal, insinuating we fabricated the story. We left the restaurant and enjoyed a ambiance / qualty dinner at Diane's Steakhouse in Lake Arrowhead never to return BIN 189.

Not all the menu items that are online were available, unfortunately, the one thing I really wanted was not on the menu that evening, so make sure if you go to check with them beforehand. Otherwise very good quality food, the staff are very friendly. The bread was a very nice surprise, and the taste was incredible. I recommend.
Kimberley
Wait staff very personable and attentive. The warm bread and butter was the highlight along with the espresso martinis. Food is priced rather high compared to other restaurants in the area, but tasty enough. Drink service was rather slow for a pretty quiet night. The decor is really nice and gives off a very nice lakeside feel

We were sat 20 minutes early which was great but the service and food was below average at best. It took 40 minutes to get burgers and a salad, and I had to send my burger back because it was cool room temperature. The other burgers served to my friends were warm but not hot and missing the aioli and crispy onions. When my burger arrived it was warmer but not cooked to my preference. I asked specifically for medium rare and it came well. The server never came to check in while we waited so long and then told us that the chefs forgot the aioli and onions which is normal. A $28 burger should be hot and cooked to my preference. Our server Katie was often unseen for long periods of time.

We had a nice meal in a very lovely setting. The food was prepared well and the service top notch. We were seated near the bar area. A guitar player in the bar was a bit loud. Would have enjoyed sitting outside but tables were not available.

This is the slowest restaurant ever. It took over 30 minutes to get fries. That’s ridiculous. If you have two hours to spare for a meal, it’s fine.
We’ve been coming here regularly for at least once a week, for the past few months. We appreciated the late hours and decent food. However, after today’s experience, we won’t be returning.
We sat in the bar making small talk with the staff, and I genuinely believe we were taken advantage of for being polite and easygoing at first. After nearly an hour and a half, we had to keep asking about our food which was a simple order of a club sandwich and tacos. When it finally came out, the order wasn’t even correct. We were then told they had run out of tacos and decided to bring something else without even asking us. We honestly thought it was a joke.
It’s clearly obvious this place has issues, from running out of basic condiments, lack of ingredients to make a simple drink, etc.
Needless to say with the delivery and communication we will not be returning for quite some time.

When we arrived, the host Cato told us it would be a few minutes to get our table ready even though the restaurant was mostly empty. When I inquired 15 minutes later, he told us that he didn't know where the busser was. When the busser returned, he proceeded to clear several smaller tables for which there were no reservations. The host and other staff were available to assist the busser and we even offered to help, but were met with shrugs of indifference. We were finally seated after waiting 30 minutes.
Frank Park
Yeah, this place is hit or miss—mostly a miss. My friends and I waited 45 minutes for our meal. I asked the waiter how much longer it would be, and he said our order was up next. Fifteen minutes later, still no food. I told the waiter I was going to leave, and he basically responded, “I don’t care if you leave.” So I left. Horrible service.

I'm staying at a lake house for the summer. I've eaten here 3 times. The food is good, the place is nice. Service is horrible. Was there again yesterday and sat at the bar. There were only one other couple seated at the bar. Lady bartender was rude and forgot about my drink. Never introduced herself and never gave me a menu or asked if I wanted anything to eat. The whole time, she was talking to the staff, not working.
