I discovered this place online as one of the best restaurants in San Bernardino. Took my wife on a date and been coming ever since. Highly recommend the Wednesday Steak and Baked Potato Special. Waiting staff is friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going to a karaoke night.

The only reason I'm leaning 4.5 instead of 5 is the price, however at this point the prices seem great for the quality of food here. The bar is both open and staffed with capable tenders, kitchen staff is talented and has yet to disappoint yet. Rest of the waiting staff you can tell really enjoys their time there and their service tends to reflect that. Was super worried when I heard this place entered new ownership, but the staff seems happy, the food quality is the same, and the menu is unchanged. Would you rather spend 40 on a rack of lamb that looks and tastes like you drove 50 miles out of town for it and payed twice as much, or would you rather spend the 40 on two McDonalds meals. If you're looking for a date spot in an otherwise dry city, this is a spot for you. Thank you for a lovely Valentines day and keep up the good work!!

If you're ever around this area in San Bernardino, please come to this restaurant! Especially Friday nights for dinner. Matter of fact, all my visits here have always been for dinner and I've never ever been disappointed with their food. The last time I came here was for New Year's Eve 2023-2024 and it was a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere is awesome! Staff is awesome and the food is fantastic. My favorite restaurant in San Bernardino for dinner.

The reviews do not match the food nor the environment. Everything is sticky, the food is very bland and not cooked well and there’s a musty smell to the place. This place gets its better reviews from the elderly so if you’re like 65 plus you’d probably love it here or if you’re just looking for that sort of an atmosphere. I was expecting something very different, more like the magic lamp meets black angus and that is not at all what I got. I meant to leave a review a while ago and forgot but my family still teases me about choosing this place to eat at on my birthday so I’m reminded about “that” birthday dinner probably once a month. The one time I shouldn’t have trusted the reviews. This place is not what the reviews say it is. Trust me on that

Came here after work on a Friday with my wife, and was not sure what to expect because it looks so low-key and the lights are so dim. My wife got a lemon drop and the bartender made it really well! I got a hangar 24 , pretty good selection. I was in thee mood for a steak so I tried the prime rib? ( my first time ever having it ,period) I honestly did not enjoy it, but this may have been my fault for experimenting with this dish since I was t even sure if I would like prime rib. I may come back for the burgers though, they sound good judging by the description (1/2 lb burgers) and toppings they offer. I love the dim east of lights and the fact that when you are in there you forget you are on 40th and waterman. The booths are nice and the restaurant itself seems sophisticated in many ways.

Great steaks for a good price. They get 5 stars from me now, as they listened and got more servers. Now the service is every inch as good as their delicious meals.I highly recommend giving this yummy food a try, once you do you'll become a life long customer like me!Dietary restrictions: Lots of good options for those who have dietary restrictions like me
