Mission Bistro is the absolute best. Wonderful food and impeccable customer service. The owners, chef (who comes out and personally speaks with the guests), wait staff, etc. are all incredible. Their beef short rib ravioli, bistro salad, and swordfish are all delicious. They also have wonderful lattes and desserts. Even better... they LOVE dogs. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

This was our first time. We are east coast transplants. Learned about The Hilltop from a work colleague in Rancho Cucamonga. Most enjoyed the setting. My prime rib and wife’s chicken was very good. Salads were very good as well. Only bummer was the “double” neat bourbons I ordered were so small. I watched them being poured and the bartender didn’t add a drop over two shots. For the price of the place, I’d expect my drink to be poured with a heavier hand.

Celebrated my bestie’s 40th birthday. The ambience was great and it was fitting as she had lived in Japan for some time. Sushi’s our favorite so it was a no brainer to try out Kaviar. Service was excellent and the food was delicious there wasn’t one thing we didn’t like and we ordered an obscene amount of dishes.

We went in with the idea of having dinner but ended up at happy hour and the menu allowed us to try different dishes. I originally found this place hoping to find a gluten-free option and was very happy that they had many options on both the regular menu and the happy hour menu! The service was great as well. We look forward to going back!

My guest ordered the prawns, shallots and asparagus plate. I asked our server if the chef could make a salad without the lettuce, to include carrots, avocado, tomatoes…He brought me a full bowl of shredded carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables not related to the lettuce family. My guest ordered the 8 oz. Filets Mignon with asparagus. I ordered the BBQ half-chicken with the BBQ sauce on the side with fries. Outstanding meals!

Gravity Haus is on its way to being a great little mountain bar and restaurant. We went during their soft opening, but the food was great, and the server and bar tender were just lovely. The ambiance could use a little work. It feels a little cafeteria style on one side of the restaurant. The other has a warm fire and a cozy nook with comfy seats. We had the tuna poke special and sweet potato tacos. The poke was a small single serve portion. The tacos had awesome flavor and came in a serving of three. I will definitely be back, but expect it will be much more crowded, so noise levels could vary greatly

Very beautiful dinner with me and 8 of my friends. The sevice was lovely and they made sure our experience was excellent. The lamb shank was very good. The hummus with mushrooms was delicious. Was not a fan of the chicken dinner but I think I just wasn't used to that type of taste. Will definitely go again. We sat in the clear-covered area and it was a beautiful evening. Thank you so much.
