    Great cozy Christmas vibe. They have a full bar this year as well as delicious holiday cocktails.

    Burrata
    Kasey K.

    Food is amazing. Service is great. Everyone working when I go in is always very nice and fun to talk with. Clean and nice. Great happy hour!! 2 drinks and 2 apps ended up being super filling and probably the cheapest and quality meal in the area.

    Burrata, Shishito Peppers
    Jadyn V.

    We ordered the Burrata and the Shishito Peppers, they were yummy. Becky was absolutely amazing, such a sweetheart and super attentive. The decor inside was so fabulous, I felt like I was walking into a hotel in the 1920s or something... it was so cute. 10/10 recommend if you're visiting the Grass Valley area.

    So glad we did the tasting menu. Great experience.

    What a delightful meal! All eight of us decided to do the tasting meal for the table, and we loved every course: roasted Brussels sprouts, crab cakes, beef short ribs with polenta, and mushroom ice cream with maple praline candy. (Trust me: The mushroom flavor was subtle and delicious! Who knew!) And the service by Joni added to our experience. She was warm and professional. One of my favorite meals in a while!

    4 course tasting menu
    Amber M.

    My husband took me here for my Birthday dinner and it was such a wonderful time!! Everything is just absolutely amazing, the wait staff the ambiance and the food. We had the 4 course tasting menu with the wine pairings. The Brussel sprouts are one of the best things I have ever had and whoever decides on the wine pairings is a genius. Also, when you see chocolate chip mint ice cream for dessert you are thinking "oh yeah I've tasted that before" but at this restaurant this ice cream is a whole experience in itself. It is house made they informed us and you can definitely taste it. It takes you on a mint journey like you are being refreshed by cold creamy mint leaves and then you have the decadent crunchy cocoa nibs in every bite. I will always dream of this ice cream! Thank you Golden Gate Saloon for such an amazing birthday dinner.

    Wild mushroom risotto
    Pamela F.

    We enjoyed a lovely dinner last night at the Golden Gate Saloon. Natasha provided delightful, friendly service throughout our visit. We started with the absolutely delicious Brussels sprouts. For our mains, the hubby went with the very interesting juniper crusted elk and I opted for the wild mushroom risotto. While quite full, we wanted just a little something sweet to finish and the mango sorbet was perfect to round out our meal. This is a cool place in the Holbrooke Hotel. Interesting and kitschy decor and plentiful ambiance. The only downside was how we were greeted (or not) upon our arrival. The hostess was posted up at the hostess stand and we stood there waiting to be acknowledged. She wasn't on the phone but was clearly thinking hard about something. Regardless, we both just stood there for an absolutely absurd amount of time before she finally looked up and simply said "Hi" then grabbed some menus and said "Right this way." It would have taken the least amount of time and effort for her to simply look up from her task for 2-3 seconds max and say something like, "Welcome in. I'll be right with you." First impressions matter and that was not a good one. Thankfully the rest of our experience made up for it.

    Salmon dinner entree, calamari appetizer, beet salad! Everything was amazing!

That doesn't really help when you've already driven 30 minutes home and now have an incomplete meal. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled matters. Offering a refund doesn't fix the inconvenience, the time lost, or the fact that part of our dinner was missing. A better effort to make it right would have gone a long way. We didn't just lose money...We lost time, convenience, and part of your meal. A manager should have gotten on the phone and said something like, 'I'm really sorry, we messed up. Let me fix this for you.' A sincere effort to problem-solve, not just a refund. Really hoping more attention is paid to orders moving forward.

    OK, I really like this place. Not high-end or fancy, but just down home with great food…read more Friends had been telling us to try it as they come and really like it, and I trust their opinions. Since we were in Grass Valley we headed there for lunch. The interior is woodsy and homey, with a country edge. There's a pleasant inside and a really nice outdoor patio area. We opted for indoors as it was a bit cool outside. Seated right away, we got menus, which are EXTENSTIVE, for breakfast and lunch. The omelet section alone is mind boggling. Service was quick, efficient and very friendly. These folks have it down and probably have worked there for awhile. After perusing the menu and getting iced tea, I chose the Long John burger (ordered medium rare) that seemed very tempting and Ed got the Caravan sandwich with Roast Beef. We both ordered a side of the Sweet Potato fries (included!). Expecting a tall juicy burger difficult to get my mouth into it and super messy I was pleasantly surprised to get this very long piece of bread instead. It was much easier to eat and I wasn't slobbering it all over myself. Bravo! The flavor, amount of meat, grilled onions and everything else on the burger was perfectly delicious. Ed's sandwich looked amazing and he really enjoyed it. We both agreed that the grilled onions were absolutely made to perfection and the sweet potato fries some of the best we ever had, especially not soggy or greasy. The kitchen knows what they are doing. They have a very interesting and enticing drink menu and had it been dinner I probably would have tried a couple.

Our waitress, whom we had not encountered before, was unwelcoming and largely absent throughout the meal. She forgot part of our drink order and overlooked one member of our party entirely--both when taking drink orders and again when taking food orders. Overall, this visit was frustrating and disheartening, especially given our history with the establishment. We hope this was an isolated experience, but it left a lasting negative impression.
