The food and prices both completely exceeded our expectations. I ordered the lasagna, and my wife had the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were absolutely huge, and the portions for both dishes were more than generous. The lasagna was exactly the style I love -- not overly soupy, with perfectly cooked noodles and great flavor throughout. We also ordered a caprese salad and four adult beverages, and our total bill was only around $100, which was surprisingly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We'll definitely be coming back.

We recently dined at Nativo's Italian Restaurant at Chukchansi Casino in Coarsegold and…read moreunfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The food was bland and lacked flavor across the board. My daughter's chicken was poorly trimmed and had visible fat on it. My own meal didn't arrive with the rest of the table because the wrong plate was brought out, and it had to be remade. By the time I received my correct dish, everyone else was halfway through their meal. Service was also lacking. We had to ask multiple times for drink refills, and there was no acknowledgment, apology, or attempt to make things right after the delays and food issues. For a restaurant that is only open limited hours each week, we expected a much higher level of quality and attention. Sadly, this was one of the worst Italian dining experiences we've had. We hope management takes steps to improve both food quality and customer service.

The French dip sandwich wasn't too bad. The meat was really well done and dry. The au jus was very flavorful so helped balance that. The chicken fingers were crispy but they served them with a sesame type sauce. Almost the same as the dressing for the chinese chicken salad. Not sure if it was a mistake. The salad was really good. I had a little bit of the rice pilaf and sweet potato fries. Both good. The fries had nice seasoning on them.

That is exactly what happened during my recent dinner at Elderberry House. I visited with a group of four, and between us, we had two gluten-free diners and one vegetarian. After a quick heads-up the day before, the restaurant handled our needs with total ease. We went for the five-course tasting menu, and it was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with one of the best oysters I have ever had, followed by a beautiful tuna presentation. The kitchen even looked out for our gluten-free friends with a special version of their herbal-butter focaccia that was actually delicious. By the time the main courses arrived, I honestly could not decide if I liked my beef or my friend's snap pea risotto better; every single bite was pure perfection. The cocktails were another high point. My first drink was great, but after chatting with our server, Jordan, I decided to try the Last Word. It featured that hard-to-find green chartreuse, and I am a little annoyed to report that I have a new favorite cocktail that requires such a rare ingredient. The service is what really made the night so special. Jordan was so charismatic and helpful, making sure we were perfectly taken care of all evening. He was so good that I almost worried a second visit would not be the same without him, though the rest of the staff quickly put that fear to rest. Abby was so friendly and responsible for a truly unique but perfect-for-the-vibe playlist, and Chris the mixologist even stopped by to geek out about gin and cocktails with us. From the genuine care for our food sensitivities to the clever touch of the iPad check-in hidden in an elegant binder, it was a night for the books. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to bringing my family next!

Vintage Steak House, Coarsegold: 2026 Jun 7 (4.72 of 5)…read more Vintage Steakhouse is one of our go-to eateries. We're celebrating our 35th year wedding anniversary here. From the time we stepped in and was greeted by the friendly hostess to the time we left, we were genuinely pleased with the staff here. I ordered the Tasting Menu and my hubby ordered French Onion Soup, Oscar Stryle & Prime Rib from their main menu. TASTING MENU: Amuse Bouche (watermelon gazpacho shooter): Refreshing way to awaken the palate. (5 of 5) Seared Sea Scallops (seared scallops, honey dijon aioli, citrus caviar beurre blanc): The crisp, caramelized crust of the scallops opens up to a luxurious naturally sweet and juicy interior. The scallops had depth of flavour, and the citrus shines through. It's buttery without any fishiness. The asparagus pieces were cooked through but still maintain its crunch. Everything works on this plate. (5 of 5) Chef Victor (sic) Pan Roasted Salmon (seared salmon preserved lemon beurre blanc, salmon chicharron, dill oil): The fish was beautifully seasoned and the sauce complemented the fish. What a perfect match - lemon beurre blanc and dill oil. The topper was bland but the sauce makes up for it. I could lick up the sauce - it's that good. (4.75 of 5) Chef Eli (sic) Filet Mignon (7 oz sliced filet mignon steak, carrot puree, oyster mushrooms, bordelaise sauce, crispy parsnip): A good filet mignon should melt-in-your-mouth because it comes from the softest, lean meat cut. My medium rare order was nearly there but the meat arrived cold. The carrot puree is vibrant in color - has a smooth, naturally sweet, earthy taste, and balanced perfectly with the meat. The mushrooms were over salted but was helped by the sweet smooth carrot puree. The cold meat brought an otherwise perfect score down. (4.5 of 5) Chef Jose (sic) White Chocolate Mousse (callebaut belgium white chocolate mousse filled with raspberry gel on top of a sacher torte sponge with fresh raspberries and chantilly cream): When I think of chocolate mousse, I think delicate, light, airy, cloud-like melt-in-your-mouth yumminess. This didn't have that. The dome was a hard shell. Though the presentation aced on this dessert, the texture and flavour did not quite live up to its name. (3.5 of 5) French Onion Soup: This is the ultimate comfort food. It offers a bold harmony of sweet, caramelized onions and rich, savoury beef broth, crowned with a thick layer of gooey, toasted cheese. Very satisfying. (5 of 5) SURF n TURF: Prime Rib 12 oz: The medium rare meat was beautiful to look at but not quite as brilliant to eat. Overall, this is a tasty dish but was quite chewy. They aced the sauce. (4.25 of 5) Oscar Style Crab: The Oscar-style crab béarnaise sauce combines the sweet, flaky texture of crabmeat with a warm, velvety French emulsion of butter, egg yolks, and herbs. It's luxurious, rich flavour is complex and decadent but balanced. Great harmony. So indulgent! (5 of 5) Our server, Steven is amiable but not in your face, which we truly appreciate. Steven radiates warmth and good-natured charm. (5 of 5) We were seated at a table but changed our seating to bar-side. They have an open-kitchen concept. From there, we could see who's cooking our meal and watch the seamless quiet communication and the care each chef takes in presenting the dishes. Sam, who worked on the salads was friendly and truly a genius in balancing the different textures and flavours together. (5 of 5) The complimentary bread came warm and tasted fresh. We were also presented with a complimentary dessert with the words "Happy Anniversary" written on the plate. (5 of 5) Mixed Drinks: Very good mix by bartender George. (5 of 5)

Courtney was the hostess and we really appreciate her accommodation. The steakhouse had an open kitchen and dining room was dimmed and very lovely We started with a raspberry lemon drop and a glass of red. For appetizers we ordered: Crab Cakes: 9/10 yummy but wished it was portioned for 2 French onion soup: 10/10, rich but not overwhelming. Delicious! Caesar Salad: 8/10, should have asked for dressing on the side For entrees: Tomahawk: 8.5/10 delicious and enjoyed the steak sauce Bone in ribeye: 9/10, solid, should just order 2 but the tomahawk was a must after a good night at the slots Sides: 10/10 garlic mash, good flavor not overwhelming 10/10 Onion Fries 8/10 risotto, good flavor and really enjoyable for non risotto eating people They ran out of the brussel sprouts Admittedly me and my boo tend to be over order-ers, but leftovers were great! Really good quality food especially tucked in a casino. The prices were fair but reasonable for where it was located. This was the best meal (aside from home cooked) that we had during our trip!

While walking in, I thought to myself "it's gorgeous, why didn't we stay here again?" and then remembered because all of their low ratings as a hotel are due to poor service. The receptionist at the entrance is very bleh (didn't even greet us, she just looked at us so we said hello first ). We sat down and ordered. We were the only customers. The girl who took our order was nice enough but lacked professionalism. She just seemed out of it. She didn't write down our order, but a few minutes later came back saying "wait what did you for your entree again?". I'm glad she double checked, but for the price of the food and aesthetic of the restaurant, I expected better service. I ordered the wagyu burger but wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked - I assume they only cook it well-done because that's how it came. It didn't have the juicy buttery flavor of Wagyu, or really any flavor at all. The bread was good. The fries are phenomenal and I liked that more than my burger Carrots & whipped ricotta was good but not great - very flat flavor profile of ricotta, honey, and carrots. I think this dish could've been better with some acidity like a bit of lemon on the side. The chicken pesto penne pasta was good, but still flat. It would be better with cherry tomatoes or something to give it depth. The pasta was cooked perfectly Despite the chicken being absolutely tiny (approx 4"), it was juicy. Wish there was more of it I didn't care for the butternut squash soup but my husband liked it. It had good flavor but was very thin. Overall the place is pretty, but I wouldn't return as the food was very forgettable. It's a shame that the best thing was the side of fries. I'm giving a 4 due to the food tasting clean/quality.
