About Top of the Notch Restaurant

Accessible via the Sugar Pine Chairlift or the Mt. Baldy Fireroad hiking trail, this venue provides indoor and outdoor seating with walk-up service. While published seating charts aren’t publicly available, guests can typically find cozy nooks both inside and on outdoor terraces to take in panoramic views of the San Bernardino Mountains. The venue operates within Mt. Baldy’s seasonal schedule, with winter ski days often running daily and non-winter periods commonly hosting Friday–Sunday operations; hours can vary with Mt. Baldy operations. This page covers how to visit, where to park, how to get there, and nearby lodging and dining options to help you plan a smooth trip.
