    Banana latte
    Lexy M.

    Good coffee and friendly staff! I was torn on what to order and the barista offered to customize my drink and made me a banana latte which was very nice of him. The latte was good, little chunks of banana in there too. We got a couple donut holes as well which were good but a bit pricy at $3 each. Overall good spot if you want a coffee in the area!

    Coffee Cake Muffin - gluten free

    We fell in love with Coffeebar during our stay in Northstar! Grant has an absolute passion for the company and coffee, and was such a pleasure to talk with - he even convinced us to visit the Truckee location on Tues/Wed when this location is closed. The coffee is a special blend with a light and fruity taste - we both agreed that it is the best we've ever had. They have several dairy free options for "milk" and gluten free items (we got the coffee cake muffin which was delicious). This is a cute location in Northstar Village sharing space with a realty company if you are in the market. It's quiet with a great view - definitely worth giving a try!

    Fine coffee bar in a shared work space. Seemed to have less food options than other locations but the coffee is pretty good.

    I recently went to Truckee and tried Old Town Tap. We got there and found spots at the bar really…read morefast. They were playing one of the soccer games on the TVs, which was fun to watch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

    Old Town Tap used to be one of my favorite places to stop whenever I was in Truckee, but the last…read moretwo visits have been a disappointment. The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

    Pianeta was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We came in not really knowing what to…read moreorder, and our server, Almandine, completely made the experience. She gave us her recommendations, we trusted her, and she did not steer us wrong once! We started with the bruschetta, which was unreal. Everything tasted so fresh--the combination of the veggies and fruit with the pesto and cheese was literal perfection. Such a good balance of flavors. I had the Pasta Di Olio, and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about it. The pasta tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were perfect, and the sausage crumble took it to another level. Simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My boyfriend couldn't decide what to order, so Almandine surprised him with the ravioli bolognese--and she nailed it. He loved it. Rich, flavorful, and basically comfort food at its finest. We finished with the chocolate polenta pudding, which was the perfect ending to the meal. So good. Between the food, the atmosphere, and especially Almandine's service, we had such a great experience. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made ordering so much fun. We will absolutely be back the next time we're in Truckee!

    There's a reason this place requires a reservation. The…read morefood is good. The service is fantastic. The atmosphere is romantic but lively. I realize that doesn't make sense. It was nice inside ... almost cozy like but still fun. The food menu is varied and has lots of great options. It was hard to decide what to eat since I wanted to try a lot. The wine list has some really nice (reasonably priced) options too. We started with the carpaccio which was presented with some grilled bread (which I love), a bit of arugula, parm, capers and lemons. The meat was tender and melted in your mouth. The char on the bread was perfection... just enough to give it a little something-something but the bread was still soft and chewable. I had the Risotto Di Mare (seafood risotto). It was packed with fish and shellfish... and came out steaming. I love when my food comes out so hot I have to blow on it. You know it just came off the stove. The husband had the Sausage and Tagliatelle. There was so much sausage that we took half back to our condo and scrambled it with our eggs with next morning. For dessert, we had the special banana cake. It doesn't sound great but it was the perfect dessert. Not heavy, not dense, not too sweet. And we shared a bottle of Nebbiolo. Our dinner bill before tip was $194. I found that reasonable since the portions were not skimpy and the quality was really good.

The waiter and all the staff were super welcoming for my boyfriend and I (for my BFs bday). If it matters, we stayed at the hotel. I would definitely come back for the food, service, price point, and vibe. Under 275 for all this and drinks!

The wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable. However, we could see chefs and cooks on their phones during dinner, thanks to the open kitchen. It was way too quiet. We were given a complimentary taster for my friend's birthday. It was two shiso leaves meant to dip into three different fruit sauces and then you bite the leaves. I enjoyed it as I like fruit and shiso but my friend had a small nibble and looked like she was about to cry... About dinner, do not be fooled by the presentation. The halibut was close to overcooked as the edges were so dry. The "foraged mushrooms" were just wood ear, oyster, and shimeji mushrooms, which I could find at my local market, and they were drowning in soy sauce and sesame oil, making them extremely salty. The server was kind enough to take it off our bill. Honestly, the dish we enjoyed most was the signature bread and butter. For the price point and expectation from the brand, we were not satisfied.
