If you want a neighborhood bar with a great vibe, look no further than the Rock N' Horse Saloon…read more Making a bar feel like a home away from home is not an easy feat, but owner Jeff and his crew have nurtured an atmosphere that makes this the premiere watering hole when visiting Tulare. I've been in several times now and always find it to be a welcoming environment. It's a small town and there are a lot of regulars, so it already feels like the old TV show where "everyone knows your name." there's a big stage right near the front entrance and a quality band plays rock and country covers, along with some originals and the occasional vocal cameo from Jeff himself. Everyone on that stage has some immense talent. Even better, there is rarely a song that goes by that doesn't bring everyone to the dance floor. My choice is bellying up at the bar for a stiff drink at a reasonable price. Put it all together and you have a top choice for any weekend night.

Experience was interesting for an establishment to say the least. We were directly walked up to and…read moreasked to throw away an outside drink. Could have been a reasonable interaction but the bartender, who we found out is the owner, came up to us said you can't bring a drink in here at all and hit the table with his fists. But did not go up to the others who had energy drinks, which weren't sold there... Another man got yelled out by the owner also for singing over him. Overall was a hostile and aggressive approach very unnecessary. Then he sat outside to smoke and talk to the other patrons about what happened lmao Definitely just a dive bar, I would not come back.

And it would be nice if staff would notice the daily specials which I didnt know they have each day. Hours are unclear as far as closing. In the elevators they show one time and staff said differently. So that definitely needs to be addressed. But I do recommend it.

Found out they closed at 10:00.

Thus far we have tried and loved the filet, rib eye, sea bass, shrimp and pasta as main dishes, the chili relleno as an appetizer, and the beet salad, broccolini and potatoes as sides. All were superb. The desserts are excellent as well. The owner James always has a smile on his face as he visits customers' tables, and his staff are friendly, cheerful, and accommodating (special shout out to Katie and Dakota!). Every time our meal is over we look forward to our next visit. Extremely impressed!

Ambiance: if you like rustic chic, western with a touch of modern, then you'll love this place. Food: here's where they lost a star. The food was good, really good, but the prices didn't match the quality. I had the filet, it was cooked perfectly. But almost $60 for an 8 oz filet with no sides - I felt like it was excessive. Cheyenne in Kingsburg, steak is a touch better, and the sides and bread are amazing (they're included) for the same price. Again, it's really good, just a tad spendy.

However mine did not come for 25 mins.. we flagged our server - she was MIA by the way ... well , we finally flagged her down and she said , it's not ready at the bar.. we continued to wait for another 10 mins - and then asked another waitress who went to the bar , and got it made - and brought us the drink..and our food.. she checked in on us after 30 mins.. and then brought the check..

Loved everything about The Darling! What a gem of a hotel in Visalia…read more Work brought me here for a conference. I'd just happened to see a PBS special on Visalia a few months prior to my stay and learned of The Darling and its fabulous rooftop restaurant, Elderwood. I knew right away that this was the place for me. Delightful accommodations. Absolutely beautiful room - and bathroom! All the little touches make a big difference, like the self-serve coffee/tea/water bar and the in-room complimentary snacks and water. Don't miss the restaurant upstairs! I enjoyed an early breakfast my first morning there and dinner the next night. (See my separate review for Elderwood.) Never thought I'd say that I forward to returning to Visalia but I'll coming rushing back to The Darling when I do!

Room service was good quality, appropriately priced and arrived quickly. The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars was there was no internal secondary lock on the door which made it feel a little unsafe as a solo traveler and also there were not clear instructions about how to enter the gated parking lot upon checking in. Otherwise I had a good stay and would consider visiting again just to eat at the restaurant.

They had a special featuring three gin drinks and every one we tried was phenomenal. My favorite was the Flower Power, but the Nekocha was absolutely amazing. We started with the baked feta and Kalamata olive tapenade, which was rich, creamy, and delicious. For entrées, the NY strip was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the red wine reduction. The roasted chicken was incredibly moist and complemented well by the sautéed spinach and shiitake mushrooms. The sunset view made the evening even better. We were so full we had to skip the celebration dessert, which says a lot because we definitely would have ordered one otherwise! If you're looking for a place that feels a little elevated and don't mind spending a bit more for a relaxed dining experience and excellent food, this is definitely worth a visit.
