Lake Cuyamaca Restaurant & Store

"It was a weekend and the place was very busy. The food was typical greasy bar food. Had to wait a long time to get my food. Not nearly as good as the old restaurant used to be."

"This local eatery is recently under new management. See the attached pictures. We arrived at 16:45 on a Wednesday for early dinner. There was a party of 8 at one table and 2 servers. Most of the tables had chairs stacked on them sending a clear message that the crew wanted to go home. Official closing time is 19:00. This was very off-putting. The food and service was very good. After our meal, I wanted to go out on the lake view porch to watch sunset lighting changes, but the door was locked. Another clear message. The server unlocked it as I snapped a couple of shots. This is a management issue. The employees were trying to be efficient not recognizing the message. If we return and are greeted the same way, I think I will walk out and go to one of the good eateries in nearby Julian."

"Nice place to stop for lunch on way to desert. Nickel brewing owns this place so beer selections great. Wife had turkey and said cheese was excellent. I had shrimp and fries. Just ok. Great views at table of lake."

"I had an absolutely amazing time here at the cabin! It was beautiful inside, comfortable beds, very nice sheets and blankets. The decor was cute. I loved everything about my birthday weekend getaway! With the Lakeview cabin, we got a free boat rental for both days! Unfortunately the first day was very foggy and cold, so we didn't utilize the boat, but the second day was absolutely gorgeous out! So it was perfect. Everyone who works here was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Very well staffed and I will definitely be coming back! One of my best birthday celebrations yet!! ♥"
