The worker was very kind and happy to give recommendations. She recommended the Tradewinds Club for something lite & GREAT. I order that with no mayo and onion rings instead of fries. Started with a Diet drink and it was brought quickly & GREAT!! Very nice, calm & low key inside. Nice wood bar with much more seating outside of it. Holiday music playing. Cheery. Lots of room! The bender told me they are currently transitioning from Halloween to Christmas. Said they are in the scary Christmas phase right now. Lol! We laughed. Order brought shortly later with "Enjoy!" wishes! Appreciated! Fresh & Tasty Tradewinds Club sandwich! DELICIOUS! GREAT onion rings too! They have ketchup and Tapatio. Used that to dip and add to sandwich to spice it up! FANTASTIC!! Leftovers too! 1/2 was plenty. Bartender had no problem getting me a drink to go and box for my food. Paid for it and left. GREAT service, Pub & lunch! Highly recommended!!

My husband and I went in the other day for lunch and the owner came in with her dog which was on a…read morevery long leash. The dog was walking through the dining area as the owner was bagging up items. Then the dog went behind the counter where drinks and food are served to customers at the bar. Who knows where else the dog goes during off hours if allowed in during business? We cancelled our order and left. We went to another restaurant in town and mentioned this to the owner there and they agreed it was wrong. And also proceeded to tell us rules even concerning service dogs in a restaurant. ( Which obviously is a different situation and they don't roam dining areas). This is California Health Code Violation. Needless to say we won't be eating here again. The Code: H&SC § 114259.5 prohibits live animals inside, citing potential contamination of food, equipment, and utensils.

The Bear is BACK!!! The Bear Club located on the east end of Reedley, CA, a farming community is a…read morestaple of this area since 1972 and even longer than that when it started as a bar behind a grocery store. Chef Jon Koobation took over the restaurant as Head Chef in 1985! Juan Reyes (Chef & Manager) currently is running the Bear Club and it hasn't missed a beat. After COVID slowed the restaurant down it is back with most of the same menu that Jon Koobation created. I used to frequent this establishment for years when Jon had it and it was frequented by many of the fruit packers, farmers and locals in the area but there are customers from Madera to Visalia and Dinuba. This is one of the last Icons in the area. It has a good vibe with low lighting and white linen tablecloths. Very clean and nice ambiance! We came in for lunch today. The appetizers are always so good. I always order Dungeness Crab Cakes that are served over Spicy Slaw, Remoulade Sauce and avocado. The slaw is what makes it and you have to eat them together. And then the Fried Zucchini Sticks that come with Apricot-Mustard Sauce. The way they make their sauces and house-made dressing are flavorful. The Crispy Calamari Fries with Zesty Heirloom Tomato Jam is good too. I ordered a salad that came with my entree with House-made Raspberry Vinaigrette & Dry Bleu. Try their Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing that I order every time!! Server asked if I wanted fresh ground pepper- that's a +! For the entrees we ordered the 2 specials for the day, 2- Shaved Prime Rib Dip that was a perfect medium-rare tender and juicy. Pan-Seared Salmon over cream corn sauce. Also recommend Grandma Koobation's Recipe Shish Kebab! Lamb Loin Charbroiled to your temperature. On the Dinner menu is Chicken George! Grilled Chicken Breast, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, lemon beurre blanc. It is Jon's special chicken recipe first put on the menu in 1973! It has been tried to be copied by other restaurants so this is a must try here! And leave room for the House-made ice cream! The flavors are Vanilla Frangelico w/ butterfingers, Chocolate Kahlua w/ heath bar, Meyer lemon w/ candied lemon zest (My favorite!!), And Pistachio w/ candied pistachios chunks!! Save room for dessert!! Come support this Valley restaurant! The Servers are friendly and front hostess are wearing white shirts and black pants. Everything is still so classy in this elegant restaurant! The food and the service was top notch! I will be back soon!! Chef Juan Reyes slogan is "Tradition with Vitality"! You must have a good experience! Closed Sunday & Monday Lunch: Tuesday- Friday 11:00-2:00 Dinner: Tuesday- Saturday 4:30-8:30

So unfortunate I have to leave this bad review. We had anticipated going to this place for years…read more Went in on Valentine's Day 5 minutes early to our reservation for 4 and we were immediately seated at 6:25pm. Patrons sat there and stared at each other for the most part with slow service. We knew it was Valentine's Day and had expected to wait, but to be fair to us, only half of the restaurant was filled. A dark haired woman walked by around 6:45 said she was going to come take our order, then we never saw her in the dining room or bar again. We never saw anyone's order being taken while we were there. Nobody ever came by. No bread. No drinks. Nothing. Around 7:10, we left and there was a line out the door, waiting to be seated. Unfortunately, the service was so bad, I don't think I could give this place a chance again.

The drinks were not only delicious but beautifully crafted with an elevated presentation that really stood out. Every detail felt intentional and well done.

They cater to your drink taste and will make a cocktail based off of it. So I ended up with a cocktail that had a similarity to a whiskey sour. Was good well mixed and balanced.

Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

Elderwood is located in the darling hotel in downtown Visalia on the rooftop, it's a small beautiful location with indoor and outdoor seating, we decided to sit outside the weather was nice but there was a bit of a breeze we asked of a heater could be brought closer to us in which it did when we were done with our dinner. My friend and I dressed up nice only to find people wearing sweatshirts sweats, jeans and whatever else they found in their closet next time I know I can just come as I am, but hey we dressed up to feel good and look out best and we did! Our server wasn't very attentive she only had one other table outside and didn't seem to engaged we started by splitting a Caesar salad and ordered a lemon drop martini, we sat and chatted then she took our entree order in which we both ordered the roasted chicken. The food came and it was absolutely delicious incredible flavor the chicken wasn't dry, we continued to catch up the server came by when we half way through our meal to check on us, we did have another drink with our dinner, the lemon drops were fantastic. Overall location was prime food and drinks were excellent and service was mediocre at best but again why do I even have my hopes up for? I need to go in expecting less so when it actually is average at best I won't be disappointed like I am, like I said in this economy if I'm willing to spend my money at least act like to you care to help is that too much to ask?

We got the spicy shrimp appetizer,12 oz New York strip, the lobster with mash potato's and Mac and cheese. Food was okay, price tag was steep for the quality. Especially considering, the "from the grill" section did not come with a side had to be ordered separate and food came out lukewarm but flavor was good (except the mash potato's they were bland). Drinks were good. Additional note: having bathroom lights that are on sensors, don't work well for people in stalls. Having to sit in a dark restroom while using the facilities is not an enjoyable experience. Two stars because the overall vibe is decent and drinks are good. Food is just ok for a luxury price and staff is not set up for success.
