Restaurants near Scripps State Wildlife Management Area

We had an absolutely incredible Christmas/anniversary dinner! The table was strewn with fresh rose petals to celebrate. The staff was attentive and professional. Angel kept our water glasses filled, brought us fresh, hot bread, and an appetizer boat, gratis. Turns out our waitress was married at exactly the same place we were, a year later. We had wonderful memories of being married at Tahoe, 40 years ago. My husband had surf and turf and the fillet was cooked perfectly, we got the Oscar topping for it, which was more crab than I've ever been served anywhere else, ever. The lobster tail with it was succulent, and so big we shared it! He got the gigantic twice baked potato and I got the au gratin potatoes, which were a work of art. I had the top sirloin and it was huge. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the meal and begged off dessert, but were presented with two candles on a beautiful plate, with wish to blow out an anniversary wish together. The prices were half what they would be anywhere else, their servings were double and the quality was comparable, if not better. We are going there for every celebration from now on. And bonus, it's in a casino, so we could have fun before and after! Thank you to all for such a special evening.

Bryan was our friendly and personable server. They even have a placard with your name on it placed on your table. Their complimentary bread basket is a treat in itself. The cotton candy at the end turns everyone into a giggling child!

I was wearing black blouse tonight. My napkin was white. A gentleman brought me a black napkin. He said that the black napkin is matching my outfit. I thoroughly uplifted by the outstanding service here - it is a paradigm of excellence that sets a new benchmark.

The food was excellent! The service was on the slower side, but it was Christmas eve and it was busy. It was very festive. Big Water is a great restaurant .

Seated timely. Wonderful server. Timed our cocktails and meal order so we weren’t rushed. Meal hot and fresh. For a very busy Friday night before Xmas… well done.
