The Original Cottage
The Cottage in Rimforest has long been considered
one of the best local's restaurants. I've eaten there
for 14 years. Their scampi Linguini has inspired
Carol to go home and make a recipe of her own. (I
won't say which is better.) We rarely went to the
Cottage as a group, because the place was
considered to be too small. Well, small it is, but the
owner can seat us across two or three tables and
booths, and that seems to be working.
The Cottage currently holds third place in member
voting for favorite restaurants. Let's go there on
third Wednesdays at 6 pm -- July 18, Aug 15, Sept
19, Oct 17, and Dec 19. Check the calendar for
last-minute changes.
They are located at 26545 Highway 18, Rim
Forest, CA 92378. A map is shown below.
Their phone number is now 909-744-9808.
The Cottage was closed for a while. A new
owner purchased it, and re-opened the
restaurant exactly as it had been. It looks like
the tables and some minor things were
upgraded. The phone number has changed.
But the original menu and high food quality
have been maintained. It looks like the Cottage
is destined to become a mountain tradition,
remaining popular and unchanged for a
century.
