Unlike the lovely service we had going there the first time, the service at the restaurant today was severely lacking. Our server just put our drinks in the middle of the table and we had to figure out whose drink was whose. When the food came out, my friend asked if they had a small crab fork. She looked at him confused and then went and got him, I kid you not, the largest dinner fork I've ever seen. Another server came to check on us and when my friend asked again about a small crab fork, the server explained "oh no we only have those large forks sorry." And then left. The food itself was great but the corn in my bag was BARELY cooked, which was really disappointing. The restaurant also applies tip for you so...do with that what you will.

The warm beet salad is practically a meal for two. Same with the calamari, which we could not finish! (My friend isn't crazy for the spices used in the calamari breading and dip, but I liked it okay.) Leave room for dessert. We recommend the cheesecake! Seating inside is intimate. There were only a few parties when we were there but I could imagine if the place was hopping, acoustics would be iffy. Sit at the bar to watch all the action behind the scenes. Outside seating is available and dogs are welcome there. Shoutout to our waitress Ellie!

They have absolutely NAILED their Pana Cotta. Normally, I wouldn't be a huge fan of pana cottas as it has come across to gelatin-y in the past, but I get it every time. The service is amazing. It is clear they are aiming to offer an elevated experience. That being said, it is on the longer side of a meal, and I find it much more enjoyable when I accept the leisurely pace and order an appetizer. When I do order an appetizer, the meal seems perfectly paced. Without it, it could seem a bit slow. I've loved the zucchini blossoms, calamari, and Caesar salad. (I do really like the burrata ones as well, but it's just so easy to make on your own from Trader Joes at a much lower premium.) I also love that they offer complementary focaccia, which used to be made in house. I don't believe it is now, but it is still very good. My fave dishes to get are anything with their droolworthy polenta like their chicken or veal saltimbocca (I prefer the chicken) for dinner or their chicken marsala for lunch. The chicken marsala probably is my absolute favorite, which means I HAVE to come here for their lunch sometimes, which are only Thursday and Friday. Really lovely atmosphere. I have and love to sit on their porch but no longer do because of the traffic noise. Chico designed Bruce with the traffic light right there and it's so bad - basically a raceway for meatheads in their loud trucks and motorcycles when the light turns green. Mosquitos absolutely become a problem so while I love that they sometimes put up the garage style doors/windows when the weather is nice to create a lovely indoor/outdoor experience, if you're a mosquito magnet like me, that is not the time for you to come in without mosquito protection. (One time was so bad that even though they closed it, I left with - I kid you not, I counted - no less that 18 mosquito bites on my calf.

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!

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!

Great food and great service! Celebrated a college graduation and the graduate was wanting to eat…read morehere for quite awhile and she was very happy with whole experience. We arrived a little early and went to the bar for a cocktail and two of us knew what we wanted and ordered right away while the other two were indecisive. Our table was ready early and my wife was seated while the rest of us waited for our drinks. When the first two drinks came the other two were ordered. My wife was told that the drinks would be delivered to our table but nobody came to the bar to pick them up so I waited for the other two drinks to be made. It wasn't particularly busy at the bar but by the time the last two drinks came and I waited to pay the tab, I decided to take the drinks and tab to our table and handle the bar tab with our waitress. There was a lot of confusion with the bar tab and the bartender even came to our table to find the bill and I told him that I gave it to our waitress and they finally figured it out and added it to our dinner tab. I ordered an old fashion and by the time I finally got to take a sip, it was watered down Everybody else liked the cocktails they ordered, two of which were the strawberry drop. My drink was the only disappointment of the evening. Now, for the good stuff! We ordered onion rings and calamari for appetizers and the onion rings were HUGE! Typically, when they are that big, they fall apart and are messy to eat, but not these. They were very crispy, crunchy, and firm. The chipotle ketchup wasn't too much to write home about but the dips for the calamari stepped in well. The calamari batter was light and crispy and was as good as you would expect from a high scale restaurant. My wife and I shared a loaded iceberg wedge and it was right up there with the best we've ever had. For entrees we ordered two filets, one medium and one medium rare and my wife said her medium filet was the best steak she ever had. My daughter originally ordered her filet well and when the waitress told her that they usually butterfly it when ordered well, my daughter asked what that meant. I stepped in and told my daughter that filets are meant to be eaten medium rare or less and the waitress jumped in and verified, thus the medium rare order and my daughter loved it. I asked for the hazelnut crusted halibut without the crust and fortunately they were able to accommodate my request and it was delicious. Our last entree was the stuffed chicken breast and its appearance was the best looking on our table and my daughter was very happy with that choice. Despite being full, we ordered the dark chocolate lava cake and ice cream and a dessert special of fruit and some sort of cream? I'm not completely sure what it was but it was the favorite of the two. There was a very nice and rustic ambience with great service that made it a great choice to celebrate our graduate.

This was not the dining experience we were expecting, to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary…read more Our server was not unkind but also not friendly at all, and seemed easily annoyed. We both ordered the twin tails, which have gone up in price and down in quality, since our last visit. The lobster was undercooked, chewy with an odd purple color and unappetizing texture. I asked for mine to be cooked more, my husband did not, as he does not send food back. When it was brought back, it was still not cooked all the way and still had a translucent look on one side. It remained chewy and unappetizing, rather than the delicious and savory lobster we have enjoyed in the past. The mashed potatoes, which used to be to die for, were just ok and the portion size has shrunk. The arugula dish on the plate was merely ok as well. It used to be so tasty that I tried to recreate it at home, this was just a bit of salty and bitter greens. The bread was not served until after the meal arrived and they were out of the yummy brown bread. This meal seemed hastily thrown together, rather than thoughtfully prepared, as it as been in the past. It was very disappointing. We did enjoy the music on the patio, which added ambience to the outdoor dining experience. The "anniversary menu" they gave us was a nice touch.

Our favs have been the Japanese Tacos, Gyoza, Sushi Sampler Plate and any number of rolls. The side salad with the Wasabi dressing has always been and is still delicious! Every place can have an off day or item but the last two visits leave us looking for other options. The sauce for the Japanese Tacos has become so spicy hot we've had to have them hold it - something's changed there. The gyoza (2 orders for one person and one order for the second person were all served on the same plate, forgivable but they were bland and the sauces were spilled when the waitress set them down. The Sushi sampler contained "room temp", not cold raw fish and was literally flavorless AND the rice tasted old and chalky. I tried the spicy tuna roll the month before and I could not eat it. It was flavorless and warm. Our last visit's service was very poor. Had to ask more than once for the basic wasabi and ginger. Then we had to ask for our beverages again halfway through our meal. Used to be awesome but this is two poor experiences in a row. I've been enjoying Japanese cuisine throughout California my entire life and this just wasn't worth it. The place is also loud and rushed.

They are famous for their Poké bowl, but we only did sushi this time (my willpower deserves recognition).. The edamame was excellent and their miso soup is still one of my favorites anywhere. It just tastes different... richer and more intentional than the usual versions. I'm a huge saba fan and theirs was exactly why I keep coming back... clean, fresh and done right. My kid had the tataki and it was the same story there, super fresh and gone in about thirty seconds. We also had the Gilroy (yum) Japanese Cowboy, Red Dragon, Hibachi Sunset and Lotus Cobra. The Lotus Cobra is one of those rolls you order once and then it just becomes part of your future. The ambiance is probably my favorite in Chico. It's one of those places where you can have a great meal and some top tier people watching at the same time. Service is always solid, friendly without being fake, and everything from the dining area to the bathrooms is consistently clean. I'll just say it... I wish we had a place like this back on the Mendocino Coast. Until then, this is always going to be my Chico sushi stop. If you like fresh fish, good energy and a place that just feels dialed in, Rawbar is hard to beat.
