Sweet Basil Bistro - Big Bear Lake

Amazing eating, probably one of the best in big bear! don't let you fool yourself from the location, it's another world. Sweet, knowledgeable professional staff that was eating in the right time not too fast, not too long and was delicious and so delicious! a favorite restaurant of us and hopefully also her!

The cured chicken salad Panini lunch speciality with half a sandwich, mushroom soup and Mita salad is a great value as well as delicious! the three dipping sauces make this a delicious tasty bite!

I knew it’s the ideal Italian trattoria one could only chance-encounter once the charming hostess and the artworks on the wall greeted us. Families talking, slow music for the night playing, the space felt like home. The cocktails were nice and the food was simple but elegant and delicious. We loved the lobster lasagna the natural sweetness and umami of the generous lobster filling gave such a joy. The linguine with new-to-the-menu wild mushroom sauce was also an ingenious creation familiar ingredients, but a fascinating flavor that I had no experience of before. Look forward to visiting again!

Good food and service, tucked in a cute little restaurant. Reservations are a must for large groups on the weekends.

Cozy place for the Italian fair. Great service, fast turnaround time. It’s amazing how tiny that kitchen is and what they can deliver out of it. We had 3 simple pasta dishes and scallop special. The special was absolutely great, perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. Pasta bulognese was just fine. Creamy pesto was a bit too heavy. The chicken parm was simply over cooked. Although table next to us raved about theirs chix parms. So don’t know what happened to ours. Overall good, but hit and miss with some dishes.
