Lovely dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately, I don’t carry cash on me and there are no ATM’s available. They don’t offer a way to leave a tip for the servers.

We dined on a Monday night. The prix fixe options were beef or chicken; we chose the chicken. It was ok. That said, the overall experience felt and tasted like a rubber chicken wedding reception dinner. Soup, salad, entree, dessert, coffee or tea. Also, no wine or beer license. You can bring your own bottle of wine. We were not aware of that. ☹️ We decided to eat at other restaurants during the rest of our stay in Lake Arrowhead.

This is not a restaurant. It's buffet style, with cafeteria seating; and the entire lodge lines up at 6:30 to eat. This is not disclosed anywhere on their website or on Open Table. The location is very nice, right on the lake, but there are many actual restaurants in the area that are much better choices for food.

I was please to learn that the dining room at UCLA Lodge is open to the public again as long as they make a reservation. The food is always pretty good except my Mahi Mahi was a bit dry last night. The dinner is soup, salad, choice of non alcoholic beverage (excluding soda), choice of main course and a dessert for $34. The staff is extra friendly and was very accommodating to me with my service animal. My waiter was very "brand new" as there was a large group being served in the next room. He was very attentive and followed all of the "points of service." He could use some practice pronouncing the descriptions of the food but again he was "very new." I recommend as a nice change to the other offerings here in Lake Arrowhead. Peace.

Meals are all prefixed, mass Produced. Taste was 2/5 stars. Steak was over cooked. Soup over salted. Right before dinner service, the staff was boisterous in the dining room. No customers present inside, all waiting outside in lobby but def within earshot. Staff was openly discussing their complaints about customers, cursing very loudly and inappropriately. Openly cursing as if they were at each others homes. Very hurtful to hear as a customer, since they clearly did not enjoy their jobs serving to customers like myself. Breakfast staff not friendly at all, actually rude and just seemed not to want to be there. Dinner staff very friendly and attentive.
