Though I was on a short vacation, I was scheduled to have a business conference call on Monday…read moreafternoon. I was with a family group celebrating a university graduation and we had checked out of our lodging spot, so I was on the hunt for a quiet place to have the call. After checking on a couple of other options, I walked into the National Bar. Success! Not only was it lightly populated at 1:00 on a Monday afternoon, but the atmosphere was oozing historic charm. It was just a pleasant place to be, let alone for what I was trying to accomplish. The bartender served me a tall glass of pineapple juice, which was delicious. I sat at a table in the larger part of the bar area and was getting connected to my call. At the last minute the client postponed so my careful planning to find the right spot was for naught. However, I enjoyed sipping my juice and soaking up the ambiance of the space. Dear Hubby ended up wandering in and finding me and we both sat for a spell I was able to check my email and catch up on anything immediate, which thankfully was minimal. It was a great place to take a break from wandering Broad Street, while still absorbing the charm of Nevada City. I'd certainly plan to stop in here again when visiting this special town.

A friend recommended this restaurant for my weekend getaway in the area and this was absolutely…read morefantastic, and I'd highly recommend it! We arrived a little early for our reservation and were taken to the bar to wait until our table was ready. Word to the wise, make a reservation as the place gets packed! We decided to share a few things so we could try more and ended up with the following: *Sourdough bread with butter - this was delicious! My only small nit is that I wish the bread was warm. *Stonefruit salad - this was delicious and very fresh *Scallops - absolutely delicious and perfectly seared and cooked! One thing I'll note is that the scallops are very very pricey at over $60 for 5-6 of them. I know it's super fresh and delicious, but this felt like it was overpriced. *Blintzes - we decided to finish with the blitzes for dessert, and these were delicious. Overall, the food was fantastic and the had a very decent selection of wines, and the place was overall very cute and the service very welcoming! Would absolutely highly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in the area.
