    Stopped in here late on Thursday night, the one night ever I've spent in Newhall, after a long…read moredrive down from the SF Bay Area. For some reason there was a block party happening outside with a live band, wow! Sat down at the bar and the friendly staff got me set up with a mango wheat beer, and an alacarte half rack of ribs that was about twice the size I thought it would be! The beer was mostly cold (it was a warm night). The ribs were delicious and sticky and I made it through the whole serving. The staff was playing their favorite The Weekend songs, after one of them accidentally crashed a track. And on the TV at the bar the Niners were crushing the Chargers in preseason football.

    This use to be out go-to place for special occasions but it has fallen to the "will not go back"…read morecategory. For starters, it is outrageously priced for what you get. I got sticker shock just looking at the menu. Over $20 for a regular wedge salad. The kicker though was the cleanliness of the place. First there was black mold growing in the drink menu. Then i looked at the brick floor ( we were sat outside) and i was disgusted (see photo). I understand that drinks and food get spilled but it doesn't take much to power wash the patio at night. My plate came out dirty with a chip on the dish-ware. The bbq bottles were sticky and congealed. Just think, if this the cleanliness of the dining room, imagine what the kitchen looks like. I have worked in the restaurant business before and this is just intolerable. Two stars for a good atmosphere (live music). But that's it. If you want great bbq, try Copper Hill BBQ. It's doesn't have the atmosphere of Smoke House but you get great BBQ and a clean environment.

Our waitress introduced herself and took our app and drink orders promptly. The ambience was nice. Very relaxed and quaint. Small seating area. My partners french onion soup took about 10 minutes to arrive. A little slow. The flavor was rich. The onions were a little underwhelming. The broth itself was over seasoned to account for it. Ive been a Chef for over 20 years on the Vegas Strip. Im not picky. The opposite actually. I just continually had the feeling the food here forgot the basics and was trying things outside its skillset. He ordered the New York au Poivre. Myself ordering the lacquered duck breast. Our food didnt arrive for 45 minutes and our drinks sat empty for 10-15 minutes at a time. Not acceptable for such a small seating room. Our plates were cold although the waitress said they were hot. His steak came out cooked perfectly but the use of peppercorn was a bit much for his palate. My duck was overcooked and soaking in its own fat. I cook duck daily. Nothing was hot on my plate. All the veggies were cold and bland. No flavor. Just a horrible experience. Maybe the worst restaurant experience ive encountered. We are glad to be back in Vegas.

    What an amazing find that we stumbled upon getting our EV charged!…read more Portions are enormous and both dishes were delicious! I'm taking home half my salad. Will definitely keep in mind next time we do a road trip to Northern California. Service was also excellent. Definitely 5 stars.

Flash forward to 2026, it's a Monday around 8pm and knowing that this place doesn't close until 10pm, we figured we'd give it a shot. We arrived around 8:20pm, and asked for a table for 2. We were immediately directed into the bar which I thought was a little odd but I figured maybe they had just cleaned the main dining room for the night and it would be easier for them if they sat us in the bar. There was one customer at the bar, but he left about ten minutes into us arriving. After the bartender closed his tab out, she came to our table and took our order. She offered us bread, but it never came out. We started with an order of the figs prosciutto and salami flatbread, and the Monterey Bay tempura calamari. Both dishes came out in about 12 minutes. My partner and I enjoyed the calamari but were more impressed with the flatbread. The way the fig, and cheese, and prosciutto all blended with one another was deliciously sweet and savory. Once the appetizers came out, we put in an order for our entrees and drinks. My partner got a watermelon spritz, and I got a sparkling water. For dinner, my partner ordered the Penne Bolognese and I ordered the Linguine Pesto. The entrees took about an additional 20 minutes to whip up. I think if you're in the mood for pasta, these are both great picks. Personally, I thought the Penne Bolognese had more meat than I would have preferred, but I recognize that I'm not a huge meat eater, and for someone like my partner who has to have meat in every meal, it was incredible. My Linguine Pesto was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and the pesto flavors were prominent. I'm guessing this is a one off thing, but when we were seated in the bar area - I was getting bit by mosquitos like crazy. When I got home, I had at least 3 bites on my stomach, and then a handful running down my leg. To be honest, mosquitos love me, so I normally wouldn't have mentioned this but my partner who doesn't typically get bit as much as I do, started getting attacked too and we had to leave because we were so itchy. Overall the food here is fantastic - and I think would be a great date night spot. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks (1 alcoholic) our bill was $115 subtotal. There's also plenty of parking which is a plus.
