Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in San Dimas / La Verne

Hubby and I decided to celebrate Valentine’s here as it’s one of my favorite places. Since I’m Cuban, I’m particularly critical about Cuban restaurants. This is one amazing restaurant! The tasty lechon asado entree came with yummy yucca topped with delicious mojo, perfect maduros and congri. The only issue was the very very loud group in the bar( they were in waiting area with us previously) . I think it would have been appropriate if management had spoken to them since the restaurant is not a stadium. Again we enjoyed the meal and server was excellent! Looking forward to a next meal.

We visited Bruno's restaurant on 2/14/25, prior to attending a show at the Civic Center. Our reservation was made weeks in advance and Bruno's and a show was our Valentine's Day plan for the evening. There was a line out the door upon our arrival. We were greeted by Stephanie at the hostess station, were served drinks at the bar by Aaron and served dinner by varying staff, and attended to by Sophia. Sophia provided us with top notch service from start to finish. Ron and I dined on Fritto Misto, Lobster Ravioli, Short ribs with homemade pasta, Tiramisu and bread with balsamic vinegar, peppers and olive oil. That was the best bread we have had and all of the food and wine we consumed was absolutely delicious. Thank you for making our evening at Bruno's a wonderful one. Dawne and Ron

This is one restaurant that doesn't cram extra tables into small spaces to handle additional customers on Valentine's Day, sacrificing quality and a good experience. We had a wonderful dinner. Everything here is always really good, but we're really partial to the steaks. We both ordered the 5 oz filet mignons and shared the potted twice-baked potatoes and the grilled asparagus. We sent a message back to the kitchen that this was the first time we had EVER had perfectly prepared asparagus! The desserts were great, the service was terrific, and the whole experience was immensely satisfying.

Came for business lunch and everything was great. Service and food are top notch.

The experience was amazing. The staff goes above and beyond. Joshua and Rashad were very helpful. I highly recommend this place. Hospitality and food service is on point. I will be back again. Thank you to the team for the first time impressions
