Gayle and I shared some confusion today as we enjoyed a nice lunch at what was either The Canvas…read moreCafe or The Cider House at Canvas Cafe. We think there may have been some recent movements by the owners, and for the purposes of this review, I'll go with this Yelp entry the matches the pictures to what we experienced. Today was a quiet post-New Years day and Gayle wanted to dine someplace besides the Red Dog Saloon (our "usual"). The Canvas Cafe (or whatever it's called now) was just a block or so down C street and open. The dining room was small, cute, inviting, and warm. It was also a "one man show" today as one guy was working both the kitchen and the dining room (and very well). I especially appreciate a really busy guy who maintained a relatively high service level, with a smile and a generous side of patience. We all ordered sandwiches, including French Dip for Gayle, Smash Burger for Darling Granddaughter, and a grilled Chicken Pesto for me. Everything was delicious, with my only regret being that I should have ordered the impressive side salad that Gayle chose. A small bag of chips really didn't do the sandwich justice. I would have also preferred a beer, but there was no alcohol served today, and my bottomless glass of lemonade was more than just fine. Gayle and I agreed that we'd love to come back in whatever main place or annex. It's a fair drive back to Genoa from VC, and we were happy to head down the hill full and happy.

We shared a prime rib dinner. Our server Kristin was a really nice young lady. We enjoyed some coffee while we waited for our food which arrived shortly. I have to say we were really surprised how good this prime rib looked. I mean it really looked amazing. As we dug in we were kept saying how good it was and in a casino restaurant at that! The meat was so tasty as were the vegetables that came with it and the baked potato. We couldn't have been more pleased. Awesome food and great service in a laid back atmosphere. My last review of this place wasn't too good. So it's nice to give them a better review. They also do a great breakfast here. Come check them out!

The food left lots to be desired. To start, we had the macaroni wedges. These were fried perfectly but only had the macaroni inside-no cheese. The cheese was the nacho cheese on the side to dip it in. With how hot the wedges were the cheese sauce did not stick to the wedges. My dad had the fish and shrimp. The platter was basic and had no seasoning. The fish was cooked correctly but the shrimp was very undercooked. My husband had a bacon cheeseburger. The burger came out very burned, dry, and without bacon. A side of bacon to add to his burger came to the table when he was about 1/2 way done eating. I had the BLT. The bread was soggy and soft. The ratio of bacon to tomato to lettuce were extremely off.

I recently visited this adorable coffee shop on one of my visits to Virginia City, NV. I'm not…read morea regular coffee drinker, but I was looking to get my iced brew fix and there aren't many options in town. You have to drive into Reno or Carson City to hit up a Starbucks or comparable coffee place. I heard from locals about The Roasting House. I saw pics of celebrities like Terrance Howard and Jeremy Renner sitting on the quaint little bar stools inside. Roasting House has officially entered the coffee chat room! On my first visit, I saw that the Iced Brew special was Carrot Cake. Um? Only my favorite cake! I had the best timing and hit the jackpot! Of course that's what I ordered. It was delicious! The decor is absolutely adorable. It's like a beautiful Victorian feel to it. It has beautiful furniture, pictures on the wall, and they have coffee, jewelry for sale and other items. Additionally, they roast their coffee beans on-site with a large vintage roasting machine towards the back of the shop. The place definitely has an elegant, antique-like ambience that fits perfectly with VC. They also serve various baked goods, bagel sandwiches and other breakfast items. You will have a great start to your day by coming here first. Service is impeccable and the staff is super friendly. As you go towards the rear of the shop, there is a beautiful patio that overlooks Virginia city and the streets below C Street. It's a perfect place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast item. It's very peaceful with beautiful scenery and they've added some rustic patio furniture. I've been back a couple times and the prices are really good. I'm from the Bay Area and compared to where I'm from the prices are more than reasonable for coffee. This is a place not to be missed when you visit Virginia City!

Today my wife and I decided to drive to Lake Tahoe because we love to explore and so being from…read moreSacramento, we wanted to think outside the box, or the city for that matter. After finally arriving to Lake Tahoe we wanted to look for Food and so because we saw this place as a recommendation, we decided to stop in and see if the recommendation was a good or bad one. As we pulled in we could tell that this was going to be a great spot to eat at because it was busy and there were lots of people in line waiting to order food. After getting to the register I ordered the Breakfast Burrito and my wife ordered the Egg Muffin. The thing is that when you order the food, they ask you what Protein you want to put into it and so you have a choice of a couple of different items because the Breakfast item that you order wont come included with it. So I chose Ham and so did my wife for her Egg Muffin. So we both ordered Coffee to drink at the register and they handed us the cups. Went to the Coffee station and after getting there you have the option of either choosing Half & Half with Sugar or you could just take Simple Syrup and put that into your Coffee instead. After sitting down at our table, let me tell you that the place was decorated very beautiful inside but we decided to find a table closer to the outside since was already starting to be a beautiful day. After about 5 minutes the waitress came to the table with our food and to my amazement I stated "Wow, that was quick!" The Waitress said "Yeah, our Cooks are Turning and Burning the food today" Which at my delight the bite into my Breakfast burrito was great. We also ordered a side of Potatoes and while I'm not a big fan of Green Peppers, the Potatoes were soft and very delicious as well. I poured Ketchup on them to finish the topping and let me tell you they were fresh and very good as well. I took a sip of my Coffee and while it wasnt Hot, but it was warm I told the waitress about it and she brought over a cup of Hot Coffee. I then put Half & Half into it with the Simple Syrup again and AGAIN, the Coffee was wonderful. Overall this place simply deserves a 5 but I wish I had the opportunity to give it more. Thank you Tunnel Creek for such a wonderful experience. You're Food, Staff and Beauty inside the restaurant were wonderful for 2 people who decided to just come to Lake Tahoe for a random adventure today.

Hubby had the Chorizo Quesadilla and enjoyed it very much. The portion was enough for 2 meals. Sure enough, he took half home. I had the Coconut French Toast, the small portion. Even though it's supposed to be small, I still left some on my plate. Love the fresh sliced bananas with it! There are more menu items we would love to try. Just need to come back and visit again!

To make the experience even better, the owner, Diane, actually came by our table to introduce herself. It's always really nice to see an owner who is that attentive to her customers and invested in the dining experience. For my meal, I ordered the breakfast burrito which, as you can see from the photo, comes wrapped in a great spinach tortilla and served with sour cream, and salsa. It was loaded with egg, chorizo, green and red peppers, onions, and pepper jack cheese. I was a bit surprised, though, because even with so many distinct, flavorful ingredients packed inside, those flavors didn't quite come through. The pepper jack cheese was just a little too heavy-handed and ended up overpowering everything else in the burrito. The other minor issue was that I had specifically ordered hashbrowns with my meal, but I was served the breakfast potatoes instead. They were still perfectly crisp and seasoned well, but just wasn't exactly what I asked for. Overall, the atmosphere and the service made it a great experience, but I just wish the burrito had a better balance with less cheese, and that the sides hadn't gotten mixed up. I'd definitely give them another shot, though!
