    Do yourself a favor and come here. Donuts are fresh especially in the morning, take a seat and have a morning coffee before work.

    Quite possibly the best donut in the world. The glazed chocolate dipped can't be beat. I would not get a donut anywhere else.

    Not impressed. Got a glazed Maple, glazed old fashioned and a chocolate cake. The glazed donut was extra greasy.

    I was so surprised at the beauty of the Building and the brewery equipment. Then I entered the…read morerestaurant and first of all, the service was amazingly good. Khya took the best care of us. We were easy - same exact dish and drinks for us both and she recommended the steak skewer with our salad. We had the Mexican themed salad that had roasted corn in it and I died and went to heaven eating that salad. The lime dressing was sooo good. The meat was so tender and tasty. No gristle!!!! I was fully expecting some but it was perfect meat. Well flavored and perfectly cooked. Not only did our server give us the best advice, she also sent us out the door with a refill of iced tea. In this heat, that is so kind. She probably saved me from dehydration!! We had the nicest drive back to the Bay Area. We talked about coming back with our manly men. They would love this place. Chico is just as nice and less expensive than the Bay Area. I recommend visiting this lovely restaurant and brewery. I would have had the beer but I can't mix alcohol and heat that I'm not used to. So... in the immortal words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!" I am so embarrassed! I forgot to take pictures!!!! I was that bowled over!

    My favorite part was the food. My girlfriend loved the Chicken Saltimbocca, she says,"I love the…read moresauce and how much of it they put on the plate one of the most flavorful style of potatoes I've ever had. The only thing is I wish the breading was a bit better on the chicken, but still a 10 out of 10 dish." I also admire their focus on sustainability, their seasonal menu, as well as their local partnerships. A combination of upscale but affordable and perfect for a date night. The copper accents are beautiful and the seating was comfortable. Unfortunately, it was super busy so I would recommend sitting outside for a more romantic and private ambience. My blackened salmon tacos were delicious and we cleaned off the plate within a handful of minutes. I really loved the pickled onions on the side and the crispy outside layer of the salmon pieces. Shout out to our server, kaylee for giving us as much attention as she could, despite the business!
