    SWEET HEAT CHICKEN SANDWICH
    Christine B.

    Server was fabulous. Good view nice atmosphere. Chick sando was dry and stringy, the smash burger was delicious.

    Happy hour on the roof

    Tried out this restaurant located in the new Hotel Katerina. Turns out, Sunday's a slow night for them but that didn't affect the food or service. The place is super cute plus there's a cute rooftop bar with happy hour/small plates menus. Cocktail selection is broad, with lots of variations and one punny name - Katerina Wine Mixer. They also have a selection of NA beers and offered to make a mocktail if I wanted one. Settled for a ginger beer with lime. Leo was a great server, offering suggestions and checking in at appropriate intervals. The meal starts off with a mini skillet of fresh baked cornbread and 3 butters. Cornbread was slightly crumbly but had real corn kernels in it. The butters were a maple pecan, salted honey, and blue cheese jalapeño. Tonight the hubs started with arancini balls which were flavorful although the rice was slightly undercooked. He had the sweet heat chicken sando...the hot honey was a nice touch and the homemade chips it came with were crispy with the perfect amount of salt. I ordered the scallop risotto since scallops are one of my favorite foods. It was impressive. The risotto was perfectly done. Dessert was offered, and I did peruse the menu. I was just too full to eat anything else. Love this farm to table concept...felt like I was in a different city than Chico.

    A promising new restaurant and hotel with charm, great service, and character Rancher's Daughter, located in the newly opened Hotel Katerina in Chico, CA, is off to a strong start and shows a lot of potential. The ambiance is upscale-casual with a warm, welcoming vibe, and the people truly go out of their way to make you feel at home. Highlights: * The food was very good overall, though they were out of a few menu items during my visit--including the filet--which was a bit of a letdown. Still, what was available was prepared well and flavorful. * Service was friendly and attentive, though a bit on the slow side, likely due to the team still ramping up and fine-tuning operations. * The sports bar behind the lobby deserves a shoutout--especially Franco, our bartender. Great guy, working solo to cover the entire first floor, including the restaurant. He was hustling all night and still managed to keep his cool and stay friendly. We even have a running bet that Franco can't sell a hotel room--so if you've had a few too many, strike up a conversation and see if he proves us wrong! * The upstairs bar also had a great vibe--more relaxed, with excellent drinks and a cozy atmosphere. * The hotel room was clean, very comfortable, and well-appointed--ideal for a short stay or weekend escape. All in all, a great addition to Chico's dining and hospitality scene. Some growing pains, sure--but the people, vibe, and food make it easy to recommend. I'll definitely be back!

    Beautiful hotel and restaurant. We visited for the first time on Thanksgiving, which also happened to be my husband's birthday. The food was so disappointing. We really had high hopes but were let down. We shared the complimentary corn bread, the arancini, and the hummus crudite. I had the turkey Thanksgiving dinner plate and my husband had the tri tip Thanksgiving plate. The starters were okay - cornbread was a very light texture and the butters that came with it weren't that good. The arancini was fine, just nothing too special but didn't come out very hot. The hummus didn't taste like much and came with a ton of bell peppers, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and some pita. The turkey dinner was not good. The mashed potatoes and the turkey were okay. The root vegetable medley was not good and the stuffing was terrible, it was so mushy and weird. The gravy on the mashed potatoes already had a film over it like it had been sitting out for a while and was not hot at all. I also got an espresso martini that was not good. My husband got the horchata Mai tai - he liked it. My husband said the tri tip was okay but overall the plate was disappointing. They also mentioned on the phone that they would give us a complimentary dessert for my husband's birthday but never brought anything out. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a busy night and might give them another chance with their regular menu entrees but I don't have high hopes.

    Eggs Benedict

    Stopped in for a friend's birthday on 8/11/25. The ambiance is fantastic! Very cute decor and everything is clean. The staff was very friendly and the service was good, especially for a new establishment. We went for brunch, and the food was good, not great. I'll give them leeway for being new. Pretty basic brunch fare. Their eggs Benedict is served on really delicious biscuits that weren't dry at all! However, the side of bacon was advertised as thick cut, and it was pretty thin. The cocktails were the real star. Decent pour, great flavor, incredible presentation. I'll definitely be back.

    a restaurant inside a higher end (for Chico) hotel. we ate brunch inside the ground level dining room; they also offer full menu on their outdoor / rooftop patio with a full bar, perfect when the weather and temperature are right, especially at sunset. service was solid on our maiden visit, big floor to ceiling window wall added a nice touch. the food... we pastrami hash came highly recommended as a signature dish; sadly it was highly overrated. I would've liked the meat to potato ratio to be 2:1, and the pastrami chunked, not shredded, and the potato's shouldn't be "home fries" -- they should be cubed and smaller (just my opinion); the warm house-made pickles don't work, and I am a pickle lover and lover of pickled anything. not terrible, but the two people in my party that ordered the hash said they will choose something else next time. {if people truly love the hash the way it is currently made, then rock on!} I had the Cobb salad and it was luscious... maybe hit the blackened chicken a little harder with that rub! my uncle got the omelette and loved it, would order it again; mom got the French toast -- she said great flavors but a little mushy in the middle. all in all, a positive experience and I'm sure this place will only get better; these are the opinions of just myself and my family, and we unanimously agree that the Rancher's Daughter will improve as they see fit! we applaud their ideas and can't wait to try their non-brunch menu, especially dinner... and all the specialty cocktails we saw going past us during brunch looked enticing. can't wait to come back and upgrade this joint to five stars! we $upport YOU!

    Flavors were great! They need to get their bread/crackers to hummus/feta ratio worked out, but otherwise very good and great service!

    Visited September 10 2026. See my receipt as always…read more This is another cool brewery and restaurant! They have indoor and outside seating. Because it was alittle hot outside we were able to eat indoors with my well behaved pup! We shared the Korean pork ribs which were slightly crispy and flavorful! Very good choice! We also had a hazy beer and I had a glass of wine. That get very busy as soon as the doors open at 11am! For some reason my puppy seemed a bit scared of the noise so we packed up the food and left. Cailyn was very kind and understood my dog wasn't having it and needed to leave! It's a fun place with a great menu!

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!

So if I was basing they review on food alone it's an easy 4 to 4.5 stars. Service was lacking. I arrived first and took a small table in the very back corner. When the waiter came by I let them know I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in over a year and we were planning a long lunch. It was a Saturday afternoon and not busy. My guest arrived and the sever didn't come back for at least 10 min. But ok. No biggie. We ordered a soda and an iced tea. When those arrived we ordered food. My tacos came quickly and then we sat, looking at my food while we waited for the other entrée, the burger. 10 minutes later it shows up served by another server, no explanation or even acknowledgement that it took 10 minutes between me being served and my companion being served. Anyway our server was MIA for the rest of our stay. No offer of a refill for our beverages, no asking if the food was ok. Nothing. We stayed about 2 hours total and my normal policy is to double the tip because I have taken a table for about twice as long as normal. Unfortunately service was sub par. Oh and tea was incredibly strong not in a good way.

By the end of the meal we were the last of six other tables to leave including a table of six celebrating a birthday. Clearly our waiter was holding down a second job because waiting on us was certainly NOT his first priority. They didn't have the alcohol available to make one of their specialty drinks. That took between 10-15 minutes to figure out. We had ordered the crab dish and were about half way through it before we saw our waiter again. When he finally returned I ordered a drink with Midori in it. I was informed by the water that it was in stock. Again, 10-15 minutes goes by and I decided if I was ever going to get a drink I would have to get it myself. I went to the bar and requested a Cosmo. I thought, how hard could that be to make. While waiting a lady at the bar asked me about my Midori drink. I told her if she wanted a good one to go to Woodstocks as the pizza place has it available ALL the time. My cosmo was done and it had to be the most fowl mixed drink I have ever had in my life, I am 62 years old. I carried it back to the table. We had long run out of bread for the crab dip and was not offered anymore . Our dinner orders had not been ordered yet. Behind us we could hear the table of six celebrating their dessert and to my horror all the tables that had come in after us were either on their main course or finishing up. Out of nowhere, for the first time a water later showed up to fill up our empty water classes. I didn't even know they had someone there that did that. We ordered our main course AND I VERY CLEARLY STATED I wanted my dessert at the same time as I was so disgusted I just wanted out of there. Of course, ONLY our entry showed up. I very politely reiterated that I had already ordered the desserts for delivery at the same time. No apology. Just ANOTHER 10-15 wait for food that was ALREADY ORDERED! I worked in France for several years and what The Grill calls "chocolate mousse " is ANYTHING but that. It is a dense chocolate pudding type mixture that will make your skin crawl it is so gross. So. we paid $112.00 for a crab dip we couldn't finish because the place is too cheap to offer more bread. After THREE tries I ended up with a completely undrinkable cosmo (which they took off the bill - big deal), my daughters salmon was not delicately cooked but obviously over done, I got TWO WHOLE shrimp in my dish. Can you spell CHEAP!, and some chocolate mess that the restaurant has the AUDACITY to call chocolate mousse. Completely deplorable service, mostly uneditable food and cocktails NOT available as ADVERTISED on their own menu. We make a point to eat at a different restaurant in Chico every time we visit our daughter. We will NEVER be back
