I can hope that maybe it was one of those days. But the encounters just didn't leave a good impression. The outside deck was nice, though crowded, and I had my table moved around by the staff a few times to accomodate more customers, which meant playing musical chairs for us to stay out of the sun. The place is also very easy to walk up to. Since it's Truckee, just find parking where you can and just enjoy a stroll. As for the food, it was pretty good. One of my companion liked her turkey burger. The veggie kabob sides were decent, if rather unseasoned. And another friend and I split a BBQ sampler platter. The pulled pork was amazing, the tri tip was decent, if a little dry, and the chicken was definitely quite good and tasty. And the sides it came with, onion rings and slaw, were alright, too. My main complaint is the serving size, as for two people I felt it was kind of small for the price we paid, even considering this is Truckee and we pay higher prices here all around. But when your side of onion rings consists of exsctly FOUR small onion rings...... All told, it was an OK spot. What nitpicks I have aren't the most glaring, but my experience sort of makes me disinclined to swing by again when there are other options around.

(And the constant line out the door!) We got the family pack and man, it was amazing. The cornbread was sweet and perfectly moist and served with butter and honey.

We loved mixing and matching all the goodies for a new perfect bite every time. We ordered to go and got food quickly considering it was a packed Saturday. We ended up sampling everything before leaving the restaurant because a table opened up. Can't wait to head back and try more of the menu.

The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy!

It's located at the peak of the mountain at Northstar California Resort, which is a nice setting and looked like a really nice spot for lunch during our ski day. When we arrived for lunch between 1:30 and 2:00 PM on a Saturday, we wanted to get in pine but the restaurant employee in the end of the line told us that those are the past people ordering and the kitchen will close now. According to their posted hours, they officially open until 3:00 PM, so I really did not expect the kitchen to be closed that early on a busy weekend afternoon at a ski resort. It was extremely frustrating and honestly disappointing -- especially after planning for it and being excited to try the food. We didn't even get the chance to order anything. Maybe the food is great, but if the kitchen closes this early on a Saturday, that should be communicated more clearly. As it was, it completely missed expectations.

My wife and I split a flight of four 5-ounce pours, which enabled us to try a brand range of types. - Comfortable, relaxed vibe with a great playlist.
