    What a great port in the storm. This place is AMAZING! Although it is a Starbucks, it has WAY MORE options; like--what I am having today-- an Apple Pie Latte! They have great soft serve ice cream sundaes and for those persons who want it, ice cream and coffees with libations!

    This VERY NICE coffee shop is tucked in the back of the Gold Ranch Casino, to the left rear near the bathrooms. Excellent coffee and customer service. Staff is very friendly and efficient, and makes a nice cup of coffee! Seating area is roomy, bright and comfortable with free wifi. There's also a very nice outdoor seating area with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit... wow I'm a fan!!

    Prepare to wait a LONG time and if there is more than one in line, move on. They only have ONE employee on premise at a time. She takes your order, goes and makes it, and then comes back to help the next person. What a silly way to do things! Last time I was behind a group of 6 Cal Trans workers and it was about a 40-45 min wait. Person has no sense of urgency either. I thought okay it was a late evening but today Saturday morning, still one person. I get that you want to save on payroll but there is a more efficient way. You need to take all your orders who are standing in line first up to 3 or 4 and THEN make your drinks simultaneously. This back and forth business is a time waster and more likely that you will get customers to walk out. I finally get my regular coffee and go to the condiment station which is dirty. I get it, you have ONE person but the boxes shouldn't be filthy on the bottom. That is from no one ever cleaning them. They get a star for actually serving Starbucks brand but that is it. I think they would shudder at the thought of this location. Oh and because its an independent, they do not take SB cards or give you stars. For the avid SB customer, this is clearly not a SB.

    Cute but smoky due to the open doors leading to the attached casino. Serves starbucks coffee.  Good but had to get out quick due to smell.

    I stopped by this spot for a break from traffic when the 80 was stopped up on a road trip. It's a great spot with pleasant staff with good coffee but the smell of smoke is so strong it gave me a headache. I don't know if it came in from the neighboring casino (doors wide open into the Casino) or if people actually smoke inside (Nevada so it might be legal...not sure as I'm a CA girl and we don't allow that here). When I first walked up no one greeted me. The manager was busy training someone new and I was getting a bit irritated and finally they took my order, the gal who did take my order and made the coffee was wonderful, it would have been nice if the other two would have helped her instead of hyper-focusing on their training tasks and leaving her to fend for herself. Good quick stop but plan on drinking your coffee outside if your are averse to cigarette smoke where you drink/eat.

    Very relaxing place and never to crowded. Indoor and outdoor seating with a small firepit outside and beautiful view of the mountains. Its one of those Starbucks express places, but they also have 99 cents Ice Cream which is great for kids. No complaints and no reason for less than a 5 Star.

    Evening staff made our beverages a bit on the weak side. The morning staff made our beverages perfectly. We had a bit of a wait on both occasions but nothing annoying. There is no smoking in the coffee bar but smoke does filter in from the Casino. There is a nice seating area and if you're at the campground, it could not be any closer. We will certainly stop again when we return to the campground. Nice having a great coffee place so close.

We started with the sage and cheddar biscuits, which were wonderful, and the glazed pork belly with chili crunch with toasted cashews - the combo of the nuts and pork was really delicious. We then had the Niman Ranch pork chop and grilled steak frites. Pork chop came with creamy polenta, mushrooms, and a blueberry glaze - I'm hungry just writing about all this. The chop was grilled to perfection - moist (no pink meat) and nicely charred for the flavor. The glaze is a hint of sweetness and the creamy polenta is a winner. The mushrooms are an excellent compliment. The grilled steak was also cooked to perfection - medium rare. The flat iron steak is such a great cut of meat. The fries in duck fat were very good. For dessert, we had a chocolate masterpiece. The meal was well priced considering the location and the time of year. And while the meal was special, it was the service that really made the experience special. While being utterly professional, the staff is also friendly and on top of it. I regret I didn't ask the hostess her name, but she was excellent - filled our water glasses without being asked once, and asked if we would like clean utensils after our appetizers. Our server was also excellent. I'd have more pictures usually, but we were so hungry after a LONG day at Sand Harbor, we forgot!

    We decided to make the trip from Reno to try Sage Leaf for brunch with two friends. First warning:…read moreparking was a little insane! I'd recommend looking into parking options ahead of time and giving yourself some extra time before your reservation. We were seated right away. Indoor seating is somewhat limited, but they have plenty of outdoor seating for nice days. The atmosphere inside was pleasant, everything was clean, and the seating was comfortable. We were greeted by a very nice woman who got our coffee orders--and this is where my biggest complaint starts. I drink my coffee black, so there's nowhere for bad coffee to hide. Unfortunately, this was some of the worst coffee I've had in a long time. It was extremely watered down and almost completely tasteless. I actually ordered whole milk just to give it some flavor, which is something I normally never do. They also don't have an espresso machine, so switching to an Americano or another espresso drink wasn't an option. For a brunch restaurant, the coffee was surprisingly disappointing. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. It was good, but nothing that would make me order it again instead of trying something different if we return. One thing I did appreciate was how easily they accommodated one of our friends who is vegetarian. There was no fuss or confusion, and they made it simple for her to find something that worked. One real standout, though, was our waitress. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of when to check on the table without constantly interrupting our conversation. She seemed to appear exactly when we needed something and otherwise let us enjoy brunch with our friends. I really appreciated her style of service. Overall, everyone at the table agreed we'd give Sage Leaf another try. It's a nice place with excellent service, and they were very accommodating, but coming all the way from Reno, it's a bit of a stretch for bad coffee and food that, at least on this visit, was just okay. If we're in the area again, we'd certainly give it another shot.

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!

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.

There were also lots of tables out on the deck. - Huge menu...and lunch specials too. - A fair selection of beers on tab, including at least one IPA and one Hazy. There were two canned NA beer options for my wife to choose from. - My wife and I ordered the BLTA sandwich and asked for the fries to be extra crispy. We also ordered the Taco Salad. Our plan was to split both. The sandwich was good, with tons of bacon but skimpy on everything else, and with bread that was pretty ordinary store-bought bread. The Taco Salad, was really good, with a homemade tortilla bowl/shell. The fries were good, but not particularly "extra crispy." - Service was great. Bottom line: Old 40 hit the spot after a morning on a nearby trail and in the sun, and it would also be great after a day of skiing, but it wouldn't necessarily be a place we'd go out of our way to visit.

My fiancé and I were celebrating our ENGAGEMENT with a party of 9. We had been looking forward to this place for SO long and were so excited to spend an entire evening here. For VERY important context, both my fiancé and I were restaurant and bar managers for several years. Neither of us have ever raised our voice at anybody working at a restaurant, bar, etc. We are literally an entire crew of service workers or former service workers who are very respectful of the entire industry and its practices. When we walked up, the older blonde woman working the front was extremely hostile and rude from the jump. I was trying to ask questions about the venue, food options, etc before we went in, and she began barking at us for IDs immediately. Not a single hi, welcome in, etc. Just immediately aggressive. My fiancé, who is 27, gave her his Oregon ID. Considering this state is literally a few hours away, you would think they are fairly familiar with this ID, but apparently not! She began aggressively and repeatedly bending the ID to the point we sincerely thought it was going to snap it in half. Despite it being obviously real after looking at it under a light (Oregon has very specific and complicated patterns, it's widely known as the hardest ID to make a fake of), she said she didn't believe that it was real. We were a bit baffled, and insisted it definitely was. She asked my partner what his zip code was, and because we had just moved, he gave her our current zip before realizing she meant the one on his ID. She laughed and said "nope, i'm keeping this! This is a fake". She said because he said the zip code wrong, she wasn't going to give it back. At this point I got angry. I told her that 1. It is 1000% a real ID and 2. It is completely illegal to hold somebody's ID hostage. Her and her coworker got really defensive and told me to "just calm down" despite her continuously bending it and laughing. She kept saying "I'm allowed to keep it if it's fake" which it WASNT. It is completely illegal what she was doing. This is THEFT OF PROPERTY, so I was absolutely not going to calm down. My fiancé called his parents to hopefully get a photo of his passport to diffuse the situation. The older woman who was holding us hostage demanded to TAKE HIS PHONE and speak to his mom. She then grabbed it and walked all the way down the sidewalk, spinning around and giggling. It was one of the most bizarre things I had ever witnessed, and frankly, we believe she was intoxicated. Her coworkers looked incredibly embarrassed and wouldn't even make eye contact with us. She finally came back and we took the ID and phone back from her. She never once apologized for stealing our property, almost breaking it, and falsely accusing us of committing a crime. Not even an inkling of remorse. Just giggling. I told her how absolutely unprofessional and illegal everything she just did was. Luckily, we have legal resources that we will absolutely be exploring this week, because no patron deserves to be held hostage, have their property stolen, and not even receive an apology. Not only did RMU tarnish what was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of our lives, they lost out on thousands of dollars (that we spent elsewhere that night) from our party because their hostess had a major power trip. To make matters even worse, we had other folks join up with us later that night who also stopped by RMU and had equally unpleasant experiences. They all said that the same rude hostess was bending the ever loving life out of their IDs and being incredibly snarky.

This visit was a bit of a mixed bag, though. On the plus side, most of our food came out quickly and tasted great as usual. Unfortunately, the two people in our group who ordered the beef stroganoff special had a rough time. Their plates didn't arrive until a good 20 minutes after everyone else had already finished getting food, and when it did show up, it wasn't good -- the egg noodles were badly overcooked to the point of turning to mush, and the sauce tasted like someone had just dumped a can of cream of mushroom soup over everything. Pretty disappointing, especially given the wait. The bright spot of the night was our waitress, Taylor. She was stellar! Very personable, fun, and genuinely apologetic about the delay. It also looked like she was covering bartending duties on top of her tables, and she handled it all without missing a beat. We'll definitely be back -- the food issue felt like an off night rather than the norm but hopefully the kitchen tightens up on the specials.
