    Fish taco with a cup of potato leek soup ~ $24
    Pamela F.

    A groovy little joint with friendly service and warm ambiance but I'm pretty sure we won't be back other than perhaps to grab a drink, maybe a pretzel? Maybe... We were well aware of the usual very slow service, which was fine since we weren't in a hurry because we were enjoying time catching up with some local friends. But the food just wasn't good and certainly not a good value. I got the fish tacos with a cup of potato leek soup, hubby got the lamb shawarma with garlic mashed potatoes and we shared a bottle of Chardonnay. With tax and tip it was $120. I know the cost of everything has gone up significantly but this was just ridic. Never again.

    Cozy, rustic, fun atmosphere with great food! We brought family and friends but this is a great spot for date night too. We will definitely be back!!

    Being locals, my husband and I naturally wanted to try out the closest restaurant to where we live! Not knowing what to expect we walked in soon after they opened on a Saturday night and the bar was almost already full with customers. We weren't greeted so we went and sat down at a table. After another couple walked in and ordered directly at the register then sat down we realized that is what we should do. I confirmed with the very nice man serving food that we should do this. He offered to send the bar tender/server named Becca over to us but we were fine ordering at the register, we just wish we had known so we could have ordered sooner. I can see how the above would turn some off, but we WANTED to have a pleasant experience so we took this as a learning experience and went with it. Becca was super nice and checked on us when she could. She was busy so it was nice that she took the time to check on us, remove our dishes and even wipe up our mess! We ordered a bottle of wine (Scott Harvey, and a good price!) and a pretzel with home made cheese sauce that was to die for along with a home made pickle also delicious and mustard. $8 for hands down THE BEST by far incredible pretzel we have ever eaten!! We watched and smelled the food that came out for others and ALL looked amazing, cannot wait to go back for dinner. I did not see paper menus, instead the food items were written in chalk above the register. There was a list of about 12 entree items all $18 each with many sandwiches. Becca said the lamb shamra was really good so I am going to try that next time. There were also sides on another board for $5 each and then apps for $8 each if I remember correctly. If all their food is as good as what we tried, then these prices are perfectly reasonable. Another thing we learned is that this upscale casual pub is flexible with their hours. If business is busy, they stay open later than 9:00 pm, if they aren't, they may close early. We are out in the middle of nowhere so I totally understand this. I suggest you call if coming in late especially off-season from river rafting! We enjoyed everything about our evening at Lotus Pub and are happy to have them in the neighborhood! We want to see them succeed and have a few suggestions for the owner: 1. Have a sign at the door to explain that you can order and seat yourself. I think this would make a lot of people happy to know at the get. 2. Your food is so tasty, what about either a complimentary sampler plate OR a sampler plate to sell. If like us, one taste and customers will come back for more. One of our favorite restaurants down south does this and I can't decide if I love them because they do this, or because their food is good :) 3. Add a hostess to make the customers feel welcome and keep track of their needs. I think this would go a long way in customer service and promote business as well.

The Coloma Club is a diner with a ton of character in a remarkably rural spot between Auburn and Placerville in the foothills just outside of Sacramento. You'll sit between Coloma locals, motorcycle tourists, river guides and river runners in a building which has seen a lot over the years. (Just check the picture section). The food was diner food. Not pretentious or over-wrought, but capably prepared and it hit the spot on that cold Fall morning before we ran the American River. If you're looking for crepes, a fresh fruit and yoghurt bowl or gravy made from scratch this might not be your destination. But for a comfortable meal in a great setting surrounded by an eclectic mix of people you'll be stoked.

I understand he was upset probably because we took a table away from his potential tips, but to treat us the way he did is inexcusable. I asked if him if the food hadn't been made if we could cancel our order. He left and appeared to speak to the kitchen staff. He came back and cleared the table next to us and did not communicate anything to us. I asked, is that a yes or no? Without looking at us he said hold on. He finished clearing the table and walked away. He came back 10 minutes later and without saying a word he placed the bill on our table and left. Luckily we had the cash to cover it and a tip. As we walked away he rushed over, likely to make sure we weren't skipping out since he had been so rude. Will we go back? Uh no. This could have been handled much differently leaving us wanting to try them again.

My daughter devoured her Flatbread and my husband really liked his Reuben Sandwich - I liked all of the toppings that came on my BOJ Burger, but the hamburger patty itself was not seasoned and it weirdly made the whole burger lack in flavor even though there was bacon, onion jam and gouda on it.
