I took a pic of the food menu because it's not online but adding it here for anyone to reference. Honestly we could've ordered food at 9 and Bri was so welcoming about it, we just weren't hungry! As a heads up I'm pretty sure the menu changes monthly or frequently :) The ambience is different than anywhere in Auburn since it's cozy yet a nice/relaxing vibe! Definitely recommend for a nightcap - I'm excited to check out the food!

I…read morewent out with some friends and we all four agreed that this was a GREAT new spot and we actually even said we thought the food was more flavorful and unique than Josephine's. I had the Central American Spritzer to drink, which was exactly what I wanted - fruity, not overly sweet, and sparkly! Shrimp toast appetizer was so delightful! The curry leaves and chili threads sent it over the top! Carnitas tacos had great flavors and the pomegranates balanced everything really well! The salmon bowl, chicken sandwich and burger were all hits at the table too. The dessert was absolutely delightful! Caramel miso sundae and chocolate cardamom mouse Both were a hit but the caramel sauce was perfection! Two small things that could have made things even better: 1, the water was super chlorinated-tasting. Let's say "the tap water was very tappy" and we all noticed at first sip. 2. The tall chairs look fun but are so uncomfortable for us short ladies with dangling legs. Two very small things, though! Honestly we had the best time and would be back in a hot second! We absolutely loved the service, as well!!

We went to the Oakhouse for the first time with a party of 8. We went downstairs, which is a really…read morecool bar, to enjoy a cocktail before dinner and then upstairs to the restaurant where we were seated at a really nice table in the front. We were off to a good start. Our waitress came and told us the specials and updated drink orders while we looked the menu over. Pricing gets your attention right away. It's pretty pricey. They charge $3 dollars for bread service, which literally is a piece of bread about 4 inches long cut into tiny slices. We need several of those and then proceeded to order a variety of food. The service was inconsistent. Our server didn't check on us very often but the server taken care of water refills was doing a good job. When our food came, I think we all felt that flavor-wise it was pretty good. My husband ordered one of the specials, which was a Mandarin chicken with ginger rice. When the server took our order and he said that he'd have the chicken, she did not confirm whether it was the special or what was apparently their regular roast chicken so she brought in the regular chicken. When we brought this to her attention, she said "oh well note for next time". For the cost of the meal we were having that really should've been handled with a simple. "I'm so sorry I misunderstood. Let me go and get the rice for you," but she didn't do that. Very disappointing. One of the people in our party had a steak that she barely ate any of it. She didn't like the sauces that were with it. I had the rabbit with noodles, which was tasty. All in our group which of the experience about 80 out of 100. While we enjoyed an evening out with friends most of us said that was a one and done because we won't be going back.

Everyone in the reviews for this place is saying it, and it is absolutely true. The food is very…read moregood. It's easy to overlook those words: "very good", But do not gloss over them. Everything that my friends and I ordered was VERY GOOD. We all ordered a different type of fry on the side and they were all VERY GOOD. This is the kind of place where every thing on the menu is VERY GOOD. It is definitely not the healthiest place you could eat at because their focus is on the food being VERY GOOD. Nevertheless, even the healthy options like the mushroom ciabatta sandwich and the zucchini fries were VERY GOOD. Toasted to a perfect crisp, buttery, freaking delicious. The restaurant itself has a local charm. The ambiance is dictated by what the locals need, not the city people coming in to rent a lake house for the weekend (myself, my boyfriend, and his tech friends). It's refreshing to be somewhere that feels more like a genuine small town tavern than a flashy restaurant that covers itself in flowers and sculptures to be a photoshoot op for you and your girlfriends. (I have done this, no shame, so fun, see son and garden review). I wish I could go here over and over and try every menu. seriously, SO GOOD.

Lunch yesterday after golf was good. I had the Bacon,…read moreavocado burger with a green salad & per usual blue cheese dressing. About noon when we arrived & the hostess had a couple tables reserved but sat us in front section closest to the sidewalk. Service was quick and I had a frosty Knee Deep Breaking Bud draft delivered stat! Extensive food and drink menu. Burgers were cooked med as requested quality meat,so tall with all the fixings a fork was required & probably half a ripe avo made this a full meal. Salad was a good starter with arugula & a mixture of course cut veggies with extra blue cheese dressing brought pronto. Fourth visit & only suggestion would be to upgrade the heavy worm, somewhat greasy floor (especially in the entrance). Popular place with live music & some really good house made potato chips , french dip, mushroom & regular cheese burges consumed by my fellow golfer's at the table. Will be back.

Nicole was wonderful--friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She was on top of our service while recommending menu items and intuitive of the mood. She was a true joy. My husband and I ordered mushroom ravioli and fettuccine alfredo. The sauce is rich and flavorful--guaranteed to send us both happily into food comas this evening. Even though this is a sport's bar, the atmosphere was on the moderately quiet side. There were plenty of couples, and the windows provide an open, airy space with additional seating in the back behind the bar. The menu is very reasonably priced (especially by California standards), and I was very impressed with the level of service.

There was very few people in for dinner on a Tuesday, and you kinda seat yourself. Grab your own water, utensils, and plates and pop a squat! Order at the bar and you can open a tab if you want to keep ordering. Everything is kinda small, but shares very well. Drinks were delicious and you can order typical cocktails that aren't on the menu (see the old fashioned) but their signature cocktails looked great too. The nutmeg on top of my pinapple/coconut drink was unexpected but really great!! Service is attentive and lovely. Come with a group for drinks and a shared tapas style dinner.

Friendly staff. Atmosphere is rustic and charming. Smallish menu, no soup, no lasagne, no chicken no fish (maybe that's not the Sicilian way). We had the crab cakes which were great, lots of crab not filler. The pasta dishes we ordered were ok but not great. We were very turned off by the 4% fee for paying by credit card. You should give a discount for paying cash NOT charge an extra fee for credit card. That's a cost of doing business. Over all, regardless of the extra fee, I don't think we'll be back.

The bartender was nice and efficient. They had about 8 beers on tap, some craft and the rest were the classics that you'd expect. I ordered a Hazy IPA from Founders and it hit the spot. My partner ordered a cranberry mimosa and she enjoyed it. We also got a breakfast burrito with sausage to go and it was surprisingly good. They've got an electronic jukebox which was playing some awesome country music. PARKING: They have a huge private parking lot so you will not have any issues finding a spot. They have a few stages which means they probably have some awesome live music. If you're in the area and looking for a good priced drink, definitely pop in. Nothing too exciting to report but I'm glad we got an opportunity to stop in.

Every single week, the staff is incredibly friendly and on top of everything. Service is always quick, even when it's busy, and they consistently make the experience feel easy and welcoming. Trivia night is such a highlight for us. It's genuinely fun, well-run, and something we look forward to all week. David and Asia are amazing hosts. They keep the energy up, make it engaging, and you can tell they really care about creating a great experience. One thing that really stood out to me was how responsive management is. I mentioned that the changing table in the women's restroom was broken, and by the time we came back the following week, it had already been replaced. That level of follow-through is rare and really appreciated. We actually drive in from Wheatland every week just to come here, which probably says it all. We love this place and plan to keep coming back.

The Pickle Flatbread was a bit sweeter than I'd like, but tasty with beer. Everything else was great. Spinach salad was solid, green salad was eh but did the job of balancing out all the pizza.
