Fresh, organic, real food!

I really wish this place was down in San Diego! Will definitely be going here EVERY Big Bear visit!

I took my mom to lunch and we were greeted when we walked in by the owner/chef, David. We let him know we were vegan, he asked about allergies and served us bread and dip made from scratch, followed by delicious soup also made from scratch then fresh made pasta (yeah that's right he makes his own pasta!). He was super friendly and came up to chat with us.

It's a fixed menu and made from fresh organic ingredients so this place is only for people who are open to try new things and don't enjoy the frozen assembly line food you get at most corporate restaurants.

A must visit if you are at Big Bear!

This is a great restaurant with delicious food, beautiful ambiance, and an incredibly kind owner. This restaurant does not have a menu, but if you have any dietary restrictions, rest assured that the chef will make something to suit your needs/taste and it will be delicious. This place is a real gem nestled in Big Bear. I highly recommend it! I would have given five stars if the happy cow app allowed it.

A real gem!

This priced-fixed vegetarian-friendly restaurant offers 3-course lunches and 5-course dinners (this is what we had) for very reasonable prices. The owners are Italian and Mexican, and combine these wonderful traditions along with all organic food and good wine pairings to create a gastronomic sensation! We were completely blown-away by this find, and the owner and staff were gracious and personable. There are no menus, but don't worry - we were very satisfied! (Happy Cow made me choose 4 cows because this place is veg-friendly only, but I would give it 5!)

Pros: Organic fresh produce/food, Interesting pairings of flavors, Gracious staff
