    I ordered a drink, pear salad and New York steak. Approximately 5 minutes into eating my salad the entre came. I commented that I needed to finish the salad before taking the entre. I was told they would remake it. 20 minutes later my entre came. It was cold. I complained to the waitress and she said it was her fault that she put the entre in too soon. My problem is that the wait and kitchen staff had no communication and how can anyone expect to eat a $40 steak that has been sitting under a warmer for over 25 minutes. No excuse. The steak returned, taken off bill and I left very disappointed.

    Birthday dinner, not very attentive. The pan-seared sole was excellent. My wedge salad was very good and spouse got pear salad and ask for added beets which they obliged, he said it was very good. I had my service dog with me, they were fine with that and she spend our time laying under the table. They didn't offer any water for her. I brought my own for her. I would try something different next time I'm in Lake Arrowhead. I will recommend and other guests seemed to be regulars and seemed to enjoy.

    Our dinner at Diane’s Saddleback Grill was a highlight of our stay at the Saddleback Inn. The restaurant has a friendly, comfortable ambiance, the service was terrific, and the food was very good. Definitely recommend Diane’s when you are in Lake Arrowhead.

    Dianne’s is our go-to spot dine on the mountain. Excellent food, drinks, and service can always be found a Dianne’s. Bc my wife and I always enjoy a pear martini first thing when we are seated. This Friday, I ordered the Rib-eye. It was juicy and delicious, and big enough to take home and have for breakfast the next day. We ensure a table with no wait by making an online reservation with Open Table.

    We have visited and dined here several times but this was our first visit after the Covid shutdown. Your menu and food have improved from what we remember as good food. We enjoyed a great meal with four people, four different entrees, all excellent.

    Slow service (our waitress disappeared a few times and never checked-in with us over the duration of 40 minutes we waited for our meal). Had an early rezo so it wasn't packed. Hoping the food would make up for it but it didn't. We've been coming here with our family for many years and have seen a distinct decline in the food and service. It is our intention to support local businesses on the mountain but it gets hard when this keeps happening. Lastly.. this is a tough one... you have to "ask" for bread and butter. But the verbiage is nowhere to be found. Three stars for "could've been better".

    Went for Anniversary dinner which was noted on our reservation. Discretely told our server as well. She forgot. No candle on the dessert. I know it’s minor but it’s the little things. Everything else was fine.

    The food and service were good. What bothers me is thst the items we wanted to order from viewing the Open Table menu had not been on their menu for year. Also, the real prices do not resemble those online. Serms fraudulent to me. Just get us in the door

    Restaurant easy to find. Service spotty as are waiter brought the first incorrect bottle to our table. the 2nd bottle to 15 min to bring to our table even though he repeated the correct wine back to us for the first bottle. Server very nice but I think he is hard of hearing. All 4 of us really enjoyed our meals although my wife's steak had a lot of gristle. My shrimp fettuccine was great and someone had spare rib stack which they loved. Good friends of ours live 1 block from the restaurant part time but had never been in. My wife and I were celebrating our 39 anniversary that night so I picked your restaurant. Waiter very friendly. we enjoyed the overall experience!

    Due to a large party of 20 being attended to, our experience was far from ideal. It is unfortunate that the restaurant did not make accommodations with more help in the kitchen and additional servers so that the other guests were also made to feel special.
