Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Yucaipa

Every dish has incredible flavor and a little heat. The ceviche had the right amount of heat, the fish was delicious. We also had the mushrooms and Sweet potatoes. Still thinking how crisp and flavorful the potatoes were. The Lamb shank, Ribs and Branzino were so good. Can’t wait to go back.

We booked this on the night of the Mission Inn Christmas lights festival kickoff. We were not disappointed. First of all, you get special access to the hotel, lobby and light show with a reservation. That alone saves tons of time and the burden of standing in long lines in the cold. Then there's the restaurant... What a beautiful example of early 19th Century California architecture and craftsmanship. All of the finishes from the molding and tile to the details in the Christmas decorations are beautiful. I felt like I was in a Bing Crosby movie - in Technicolor. Finally, the food and service are both 5 star! The buffet we enjoyed was curated with high quality, well made classics like shrimp cocktail, prime rib, salad bar and all the fixings. Beverages like lemonade and coffee were included. The service was friendly and very attentive. Just get here early for this festival. It took us almost an hour to get in and find parking, and the negotiate the crowds to get here from the lot. Crazy busy, but so, so worth it.

Great Food with good service and good ambiance, at reasonable prices.

This experience was outstanding, my wife was diagnosed with celiac and since then is being very hard to dine together because of her condition. Most dining places do not specialize in catering for people like her, but they find it upsetting when you questioned their menu or cooking etiquette. Last night we were celebrating our 22 year anniversary and my birthdate, I found this place through Go Gluten Freely.com and they recommended this place as the best place. So without no hesitation I booked and drove 45 minutes to surprise my wife. You should have seen her face at the beginning and at the end and all the way home she spoke nothing but wonderful words, saying I found my haven on earth. Music, atmosphere, service, taste, and lots of smiles. Our server was wonderful, she even gave us a very tasteful dessert with vanilla ice cream with two gluten-free macaroons that said on each Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday…what a nice touch! This place found two fans for life and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making helping me make my wife’s night and more future dates with my wife. For all of you with Celiac, trust me when I say that you could not find a better and more safer and perfect place to dine than Oceans & Earth anywhere I promise! From: Rainier and Alison Gracia

The service here was amazing; really quick considering how busy they got. Everything was cooked really well, and was incredibly flavorful, the blood orange iced tea went really well with the steak as a nice wine alternative. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday dinner or a nice date night.
