Food was decent when compared to HORRIBLE Big Bear choice of restaurants. Staff friendly, but little slow. We still enjoyed all 3 of our meals. Very pretty outdoor patio! Sunday brunch did not have too much choice, but whatever we had was fresh and tasty. Hotel staff itself is pretty unfriendly most of the time. more

Second visit to Stillwells and no improvement. Service is EXTREMELY slow. We waited 5 minutes to be seated. It took 30 minutes for us to receive our food and the restaraunt was practically empty! The food was not hot, just mildly warm. Overall food I'd rate about a C-. Food selection C-. (There was hardly anything to choose from). The... more

Our server was a pleasant fellow, but his service was more like a Denny's server. Our food quality was below average quality and the preparation of the food was not good, our appetizers were burned and still served to us. Our entree was cold and condiments were not provided until we were almst finished eating. Waited forever too. I guess... more

We just ate dinner there and had the steak skillet for 2 they serve on Thursdays. We ordered the steak with rice pilaf instead of mashed potatoes, and they were very average. The steak itself was good, although I would have ordered it medium rare instead of medium well, but the wife insisted. We also ordered sweet potato fries and... more

This place was not a good restaurant experience @ all, and im quite surprized by the reviews on here. I went there about a week ago (2/2008), and i orded the halibut and veggie dinner. The fish didnt have any taste besides the burnt sauce that it was smothered in. The mashed potatoes that the entree sat on were actually... more
