   Friendly service. Crispy fish tacos a bit expensive, but it’s in the mountains and remote so to be expected.

   I ordered the avocado focaccia that came with two poached eggs on it with garlic aioli. It would’ve been great but it wasn’t even warm, more like cold. I thought the focaccia would’ve been warm, but, no. We were one of two small parties, so, it wasn’t busy at all.

   They seemed to have a difficulty finding the reservation, but once they did, our server responded well to my requests of a birthday surprise. Made the experience 10 times better with his showmanship. Made the birthday girl feel great and I appreciated that. The food was decent and decently priced. The volume was at a good level. Just you and your table plus the server could be heard.

   Always impressed with Bin189 at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had breakfast here today, the breakfast burrito was incredible, and now has my vote as the best on the mountain. Seems pricey, but the portion is enough for two meals.

   We made reservations at Bin 189 several weeks prior to visiting Lake Arrowhead. The online menu mentions vegan Ravioli. As we have 3 vegans in the party we looked forward to an Italian based dinner that evening. We had amazing lunches and dinners at other establishments earlier in the week like Lake Front Gastropub, Spade and Spatula among others. The manager was nice on greeting but everything went downhill after being seated. Katie the server, mentioned the Vegan Ravioli no longer exists. When i mentioned we confirmed it on the menu and again when making reservations, she said they changed it but forgot to update everything for several months. Since it was a special occasion and also a table we had waited for a while we asked if she could ask the chef if anything could be done, in light of the misinformation we were given on multiple occasions. She abruptly said, it's a busy time and nothing could be done. She didn't even try to-check with chef or management. For a restaurant that advertises semi-fine dining, the service does not reflect upon this at all, not to mention on the Lake arrowhead resort as its part of that hotel, It is more of a mill where clients are quickly shuffled and given poor service. We left as there were no real vegan options other than cold salads, thankfully The Lakefront restaurant and pub got us a table and amazing service once again! I would advise management to update menu and staff on menu changes when given out info and encourage more customer service training with wait staff. I recommend other hotels like UCLA lake arrowhead lodges as well. We will not be back to Bin 189.

   Such a beautiful place and views, you almost forget you are there to eat. The food was good, not great. Average to be more descriptive. If the food matched the ambiance, I would move in.
