Only disappointment there was the ranch and marinara sauce I ordered were only 1/3 of the ramekin full, so we had to be conservative with the sauce. The sauce boss didn't like that. Next was dinner. I got chicken parm with fettuccine Alfredo. There was plenty of Alfredo sauce. Being it's authentic, it's very rich and delicious. (A Little goes a long way.) However, on the chicken parm there was the equivalent of one and a half cherry tomatoes, beautifully seasoned with basil, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion, then crushed on top. Again, sauce boss didn't like that. To fix this, I asked for 2 extra sides of marinara in hopes to use them to give my chicken parm a respectable amount of sauce and possibly use any extra to make a little pink sauce with the Alfredo. Alas, yet again, 2, 1/3-filled ramekins. The sauce boss hated this. "Who rations tomatoes???" I said!!! The total tomato sauce that ended up coming to our table was the amount I'd expect if I said light sauce. Nicely. Long story short, I got some extra sauce to go because it's so yummy. Food review: 5/5 Nothing comes out extremely quick unless you go before a dinner rush. It's a nice place and deserves patience. Staff was wonderful. Sauce boss review: 3/5 I'm a big fan of the crushed pomodoro pasta sauce you make. The flavor is a 5/5, but an instant -2 because of the amount of time I needed and wanted to ask for more sauce. . Pics are my receipts.

Seating is at tables & booths. There are big windows that open garage door-style that let in a lot of light. Multiple TVs played sports. You could easily have very large groups here. We ordered from their lunch specials menu to get slice & drink combos. We got 3 slices of Pepperoni & 1 Caboose. We got an apple juice for the kiddo's drink, which came in a lidded cup. The food was good--crust was soft, the sauce mild & tasty, toppings were flavorful. However, the pepperoni count was drastically inconsistent with one slice having more than double the amount of another. Our server was pleasant, answered our questions, left us with ample napkins, & checked in on us. It all made for an easy, quick, & satisfying meal that was comfortable. We enjoyed our experience here.

We started off with mezcal cocktails (which were amazing and complex) and 4 appetizers: the crispy brussel sprouts, tempura squash, calamari, and cauliflower soup. My favorite were the brussels but I am amazed at the deliciousness of the soup. I didn't realize that cauliflower soup could taste so good! We moved on to wine and bacon-wrapped quail and ravioli. I was hesitant about the quail because it seemed to have a lot going on, but it all worked together very well. The ravioli was cheesy and delicious! We finished with panna cotta and coffee, and snagged a bottle of wine to go. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. The staff was warm and personable as well as attentive. The food was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone!

The others had the sea bass good flavor, one was under cooked. The wait staff was excellent, he did come back to check on us often.

Crooked Lane Brewing is a popular independent craft brewery located in Auburn, California. It is…read moreknown for a wide variety of ales, lagers, IPAs, and seltzers. When you walk up to Crooked Lane Brewing, you notice the exquisite architecture. It stands out, as it should! When you get a little closer, you notice the big tinted windows and a beautiful patio for outdoor seating. **Bonus!! They are pet friendly for the patio area! When you walk in, it's vibrant, very modern with very high ceilings. It's a very big a spacious area with long tables and tall chairs throughout. There is a long bar top with tall chairs, too. Behind them, is a window where you can see the fermentation vessels. **fun fact Throughout the various stages of brewing, the beer is moved between a few different specialized tanks, each with a specific name. My friend was already there, and I walked up to the front and checked out their beer lists. I really liked that they had craft hard seltzers. Those are so delicious in a hot summer day. I went with the pomegranate raspberry orange... aka, the Pro! They had plenty to choose from. They were nice enough to give me a few tasters. They also offer a few wines and they had 2 frozen icee machines twirling with frozen Lemon Berry Seltzer and frozen lemonade I walked with my drink to sit with my friend. While looking around, I saw that they sell the chips from a local merchant called The Crazy Gringo.. who I have purchased salsa/tamales from at the Auburn Faith Farmers Market (Thursdays). There are shirts, snacks, mugs, and more. A wedding just happened to finish on the other side where there is more outdoor seating. **Bonus, this is a great place for big gatherings whether it's a birthday or another type of gathering, book it here!! While sitting and chatting, you can smell their delicious pizza. So I walked up to grab a menu and ended up ordered the pepperoni & sausage pizza.... yes, with ranch! They brought it out to us with cheese and peppers, too. I would compare it to a small size, definitely bigger than a personal size pizza. Great amount of toppings... mmm!! This one is pretty good. It was great without ranch, but I had to try their ranch and that was tasty. We hung out there for a while and it really started to get busy. Sometimes, there is a taco truck outside and it smells super good Crooked Lane Brewery is family-friendly and offers beer flights. They have a few TVs for sports. The food here is limited as there is no in-house kitchen, but features rotating food trucks. In house they offer pizzas, small bites appetizers, salad and sandwiches. They occasionally have events like live music and trivia nights, and I like that they support the women's Iron Rose Football Club. Next time I'm here, I'm going for a beer flight!

Service was fine, nothing spectacular, although I loved how the hostess opened the door as we left the restaurant. Now for the pizza. My wife ordered the Margherita, and I ordered the Fat Lou. For the Marg, I'm a fan of fresh basil after the pizza comes out, this was put on before. The sauce was good, not great, the cheese was good, not great. There will be one common fault of both pizzas. The Fat Lou, toppings were really good, sauce and cheese were fine. Here is the problem. The sourdough crust was below average. It lacked flavor, it was lacking moisture and was EXTREMELY dry. It just made the pizza an average pizza. I've tried hundreds of pizzas, and the wood fired pizzas always are the best. These pizzas are not wood fired. And the crust in these pizzas really brought down the overall experience for me.

This place does a lot of things right and yesterday was a good reminder of that. The space is really cool. They have private rooms you can book for events, cute little nooks to hang out in, and the back area is massive and covered which was perfect for a big event like this. They also had a second bar set up outside and a few food trucks which was a nice touch. Oh and lots of dogs, always a plus. Their beer selection is super expansive, all kinds of styles and they have beer slushies! The staff were genuinely so friendly even though it was slammed. I asked for a ton of samples before deciding on one and they were totally cool about it without making me feel bad at all. Really appreciated that. Live bands were a fun idea but they were pretty loud, like conversation was kind of a struggle at times. Also not really a kids at breweries person but that's just me. My biggest gripe though is the bathrooms. Four restrooms for an event that size is just not it. Bring in some mobile restrooms for big events, something, anything. It's such an easy fix and makes a huge difference when you're waiting in a long line after a few beers. Still one of my favorite spots and I'll keep making the drive up even though its over an hour away.
