    Filet Mignon
    Andy N.

    Location was good. Pretty dated on the inside. Everything is probably from when the place originally opened. Staff was good. Place seemed to be a spot for locals to hangout and get their evening gossip & drinks on. Food was pretty average. We got the fried ravioli thinking it would be amazing. But it was underwhelming and super thick. I got the Filet Mignon and it felt like it was loaded with salt. The only thing good was that my kid loved the boiled spaghetti with no marinara & cleaned up her plate.

    Filet mignon that looks like someone ate half the veggies in

    Last time I eat here. This place seems to be a USED to be good place since Covid. But these sides and food was honestly sad!! Over 200$. Paid for prawns which weren't added. Another plate was no rice. Had rice! Never again!

    They need to change their hours of operation. We have come here twice now and we have been turned away in a hour before they say they are closed. There's not even a sign on the door or anything. It's very annoying. Treat the community and your customers better by having accurate information online.

    Fish tacos, French Dip sandwich, yummmm!

    Stopped in to grab a drink and some food, and everything was excellent! Great service from bartender Danielle. The bar was packed - it looks like folks prefer to eat and drink there instead on the dining rooms, which were mostly empty. Excellent drinks, and the French Dip sandwich is the best I ever tasted!

    Coco was allowed on the floor in bar.  I truly appreciate that flexibility.  The surrounding areas nice for walking Ms. Coco.

    New to Vallejo area. I want to see this place get back to pre pandemic volumes. I felt at home with the locals who come here regularly. It is definitely a place that feels like an easy way to end a long work day. Happy hour menu is nice . But the staff and a chance to relax is the best. I asked straight away if my four legged pooch could come inside the tavern (bar). Yes. At table on the floor. No problem. I took Coco for a long walk near the boats. Parking is easy and off the street. Very private location near the marina but not at the ferry building. They get extra points for having Blue Moon on tap and super cold. Wings were hot and fired and breaded. Served with sauces Onion rings - Okay. I would do bruschetta next time. $5 wine red or white. Doggy Friendly Come by support Vallejo small businesses!

    Filet, Mashed Potatoes, Vegetables!

    Outstanding Service! Food was excellent! I had the Filet, cooked to perfection, husband had the Chicken Parm, We went when they first opened, sat in the Bar. All the sports games were on TV, music was on, locals sitting at the bar having a great time. First time at this location, plenty of parking, pretty good happy hour menu, and plenty of options on the regular menu.

    Refreshing adult drink. Had banana liquor and other stuff. Kind of reminded us of a Mai tai.

    5 star service 3.5 star food 2 star ambiance We sat outside on a nice weather day, and you can tell they unfortunately do not blow off the patio or even clean off the furniture. All the chairs were covered in old cobwebs as well as the table legs. The waitress was so nice and attentive; However, the place was pretty deserted (aside from the bar full of regulars as the afternoon wore on), so I think she enjoyed our groups company. She joked with us and checked in often. We had fun cocktail drinks, which were delicious and colorful. A variety of food was ordered and while all delicious, every pasta dish was overly oily. Appetizers: The calamari was perfectly fried. The bruchetta was the best appetizer, was SO small, did not expect such little one bite pieces. The prawns in the cocktail were extremely fresh and nicely chilled but way more cocktail sauce than you need. Mains: The spicy chicken pasta dish was good, chicken had great grilled flavor, and the sauce had a good consistency but zero spiciness and very oily. The shrimp and chicken carbonara also amazing with plenty of chicken and shrimp but again oily. Pesto Gnocchi was fluffy and delicious, can't mess that up honestly. While we had a decent time, the prices are very high and you can tell that the place just isn't maintained. Would be nice to see new clean comfy patio furniture and deck brushed off of debri and bar stools inside replaced. Their little patio could be so nice in the future, just isn't great currently.

    Complimentary House bread with a green dipping oil. Not much flavor.

    Food 5/5 I've been here twice in the past few months and one to go order. Each time the food was on point. One order was pesto pasta with grilled salmon on top, another was drinks only as we missed the kitchen closing by minutes. The to go order was a tomato and burrata salad and I added grilled salmon. Light, satisfying and delicious. I feel the menu can be modified a bit. They still serve entrees with rice pilaf as the only option. You don't see rice pilaf too much anymore. It's a little boring. Aside from that the food is great. Service 5/5 Every server we've had has demonstrated excellent customer service and appears to enjoy what they do. They check in on you consistently and give honest opinions and recommendations for main course and dessert items. Ambiance 4/5 The ambiance is dated. A renovation/remodel would be nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

    Linguini & Clams with red sauce
    Jen H.

    This place used to be really popular so I was disappointed to see it so empty. Everything has just gotten so expensive. Food and service were both good. Ambiance was a little sad because aside from a few patrons at the bar it was pretty empty on a Friday night. For appetizers we ordered calamari, zucchini, and mozzarella sticks- nothing special. It was good. Clams linguini- very generous with the clams and delicious sauce Chicken Parmesan- my daughter said it was the best one she has had Fish and chips- hubby killed the whole plate and loved every bite. Portions of the entrees were big. Food was tasty. I was a little disappointed they didn't serve us complimentary bread but maybe we had to ask?

    Calamari
    Desi B.

    Food is very good surprisingly. Really enjoyed the toasted ravioli, bruschetta, and calamari apps. Ordered the ribeye for my main dish and it was pretty good. Came.with fluffy mash potatoes and steamed veggies. Restaurant is located near the water and has a very nice drive up and view from the outside. Fairly small parking lot but you can find parking across the street easily. Only gripe would be the cleanliness of the restaurant and the service. We came with a fairly large party but right after opening and it still took us a while to get our food. Oddly enough one order was delayed in our group and it was a salad. I would probably come back for the apps and the scenery.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

    First of all, thank you for offering a 15% discount for nurses week!…read more I love how the parking is right there and you can sit outside and watch the ferries come by. There were 3 of us. I got thr Korean BBQ wings, friend got the quessabirria tacos, and other friend got a burger. The wings were moist and delicious except I which they were a little less sweet and a little more spicy. My friends said their meal was good as well.
