I had the Joseph Drouhin Bourgogne Chardonnay that had a crisp clean taste. It was very yummy... My husband had the Nero D' Avola Red wine and said it had a very smooth taste from start to end. The wine pourer was very friendly and gave us some history on the wines we were tasting. The glass of wines were good pours and worth the price...

Bicycle Thief absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered a half Brooklyn and half Phoenix pizza,…read morewhich was the perfect way to try two very different flavor combinations. Both sides were excellent--the crust had just the right balance of crisp and chew, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully put together. The real surprise, though, was the Caprese salad with peaches. It was so unbelievably good that we completely forgot to take a picture before it disappeared. Honestly, it's one of the best salads I've ever had. The peaches added just the right amount of sweetness, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. By the time we finished, I was completely stuffed, but my boyfriend still found room for the homemade Oreo and mint ice cream. I was too full to try it, but judging by how quickly it vanished, I'm guessing it was just as good as everything else we ordered. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels welcoming without trying too hard, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Bicycle Thief is absolutely worth the drive to Grass Valley, and we'll be making it a point to come back.

One of our two pizzas was well-past overdone, but they were gracious in replacing it.

Probably won't be back for the pizza, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it an awful experience. The place was cozy and clean, and the seat was comfortable.

The owner is friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves her restaurant; we shall return and bring our friends next time! We brought our grandchildren too; great little menu for them.

It's a quaint little spot with some tables outdoors, which worked for us because we had our dogs in a stroller. I checked the menu before we sat down and they had a few gluten-free dishes which serves my wife well. Little did I know I was gonna find this culinary gem. We started with the Chicharron's. I'm not kidding. These were the best Chicharron's I have ever had in my life. They were so extremely fresh with a chipotle sauce that was perfection. I can't even describe how good these things were, but talk about fresh and crispy. Triple wow. The next item was the pork belly. It was scrumptious. The right blend of fat to meat ratio. Sweet and tangy. A 10 compared to chef Ramsey's 6 that I had at Hell's kitchen. And then there was the wild west beef tacos. Now if you follow my many reviews you will know I am a taco foodie. It is hard to get a wow out of me over a taco, but oh my God, these were some of the best freaking tacos I ever had in my life! They use a tender skirt steak to line the grilled flour tortilla, and then cheese, grilled onion, and bacon with an arugula salad top. And I believe some kind of chipotle sauce. I am not kidding you, these tacos will bend your knees. I absolutely loved them. They just absolutely nailed this. The wait staff was excellent, I got a pale Mexican beer that was really good, even the lemonade was first class. This was the surprise lunch of my lifetime. I was not expecting much. I was not expecting something worthy of a review even. These are some of the greatest lunches ever when you find a spot like this and were expecting nothing. Kudos to The River Downtown. I just wished I was staying another day so I could go back and try all the other things they have on their menu. Wow wow wow.

Think polished shopping center, girls' night out, and a whole lot of cougar juice being poured. You know exactly what kind of place you're walking into. I will give credit where credit is due though: they do have some local wines on the list, which I appreciate. We have some really good wineries right here in the foothills, and I'm always going to give points to a place that supports them. I'd actually love to see them lean into that even more. Food was good, service was friendly enough, wine list was okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing really made me want to rush back either. Three stars. Perfectly fine for what it is.
