    Peppercorn Grille is always our staple when visiting Big Bear. The food is consistently amazing, and we especially love their lobster and crab cakes—absolutely delicious! The ambiance is perfect for a cozy, fine-dining experience in the mountains. That said, during our most recent visit, a crying baby disrupted the first 30 minutes of our meal, which was a bit frustrating. While it’s not the restaurant’s fault, it would be great if the staff could gently remind tables with infants that this is a fine-dining establishment. Encouraging parents to step outside when their baby is upset could help maintain the serene atmosphere Peppercorn Grille is known for. Overall, this remains one of our favorite spots in Big Bear. We’ll definitely be back—hopefully to enjoy another peaceful, fantastic meal.
