Malecon Family business. Husband brings drinks. Lights up when he talks about his wife, the chef. It's beautiful. Stops just short of giving away the secret ingredients. Happily took on a party of 20 and split every check by baseball team kids uniform number. Fast service, awesome service. Would come back for sure. - [ ] Chips perfect thin snd crispy but no salt. Womp womp - [ ] Raspberry margarita is GOOD! Brought out the extras in a little cup too - [ ] Nacho burrito ground beef GIANT huge, very tasty - [ ] shrimp chimichanga. Excellent cream sauce. Friend declared it best Mexican he's ever had. Wife has worked to perfect it. Chipotle sour cream maybe heavy cream. It's a secret sauce. Inside is shrimp and scallops with butter garlic sauce - [ ] Avocado tostada vegan Meh. Expected refried beans. Got whole beans. Lacking flavor. Meh - [ ] Side rice and beans Now that's good. The plain whole pinto beans lack flavor. With no vegan sauce and just plain slice avocado the tostada was very boring. But the super flavorful rice really kicked it up a notch

Didn't like it. Got fajitas, barely any meat. No hot sauces offered, not much flavor. Margarita had no tequila, just wine.

5 stars decor, vibe and music 4 stars for steam distillery…read moretasty drinks 3 stars for super slow service and 3 stars food from That One Place. Have been to Steam Distillery now on multiple occasions since they opened and continue to hope that service time will improve. The Lemongrass Collins is my absolute favorite cocktail on their menu, its just unfortunate that the service is extremely slow. There is typically only 1 or 2 employees handling the entire space and since the drinks are all crafted, between waiting to get your order taken and then waiting for the drinks to arrive, you're looking at 15 to 20 minutes. For the first time of these visits, we made reservations for the now reservation only Sunday menu. Reservation was at 4 and you had to place your order at the time of making your reservation days ahead. We didnt get our meals until 445. While the menu and presentation were amazing, the taste was not there. Lobster was very overcooked and lacked flavor in the seasoning, prime rib cut was impressive at 16oz but was cooked perfect and thankfully was served with some type of horseradish cream. The potatoes were stated as being a mashed potatoe type but we're not a mash in my opinion at all. It was a half super chunky scoop with the sour cream and butter kind of hidden in the middle.

My wife had come across some chat and pics from the resident restaurant here "That One Place" and…read moreso we searched it out- actually our first visit was last week right after we left the gym...lol, just wanted to take a peek inside, but the atmosphere and people were so inviting, we took a table for a quick bite. The food (my brisket taco) and my wife's shrimp tacos, were just incredibly delicious AND good-sized. I've had Brisket in Texas and in Tennessee, and this brisket was seriously the best of them all that I've had before. We'd been looking for just the right spot to have a 30th wedding anniversary dinner. One local place (by the river) has great food but can't seem to get a ribeye right. The other with a NewYork motif, served me a hideous ribeye a few months ago...so we wanted something else. KING on food, and ambiance secondary. Don't let Steam Distillery fool you- the causal steampunk- meets-British Pub vibe is not a ragged presentation, but a carefully crafted and executed place to sit and relax. SO laid back; and in a very special way, feels like home. We contaced April (That One Place Owner) to get some details before we came down, she's such a loving 'people person', and it shows not just in her demeanor, but the genuine care & love imbued into the dishes she serves. Three days after our recon visit, my wife and returned on 10/19 to celebrate our 30th anniversary few days early. Steak (Ribeye) and Lobster is what we both ordered. THE BEST RIBEYE STEAKS we've had in Grants Pass, right here, and BY a WIDE MARGIN!!!! The Lobster was sweet, and the twice-baked potatoes were stupendously delish. Will we be back? ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. (??) MY wife told he she's quitting cooking on Sundays so we can come here. The patrons- good, salt of the earth, local folks who are very gregarious without being too much so- we had table o Casey was an attentive huge blessing serving at our table, we lacked for NOTHING. Jess behind the bar was awesome. My wife loved her Rogue Roasters Espresso Martini. Just over the top. And... April managed to come out of the kitchen so we could meet here in person- hugs for everyone. What a blessing she is, and she and her husband have an INCREDIBLE thing going here. DON'T MISS IT!!! The food they serve truly reflects not only the quality of the food itself, but more importantly the care and talent of the owners and kitchen staff. Celebrating a 30th wedding anniversary IN A PUB? Lol, with Steam Distillery & resident kitchen 'That One Place' serving the food they do, we wouldn't have it any other way. I'll post a pic of my wife's Shrimp tacos, and my Steak & lobster plate to get you salivating....it's the least I can do.

Hubster and I had a terrific early dinner yesterday at The Copper Mug on Redwood Highway in Grants…read morePass. I got a shrimp Po Boy on a toasted Hoagie roll with freshly brewed ice tea and fries; the better half had a GP cheesesteak with chili and a beer. Both were made by the owner and cook and sooooo good! There are daily specials, too -- yesterday's was rib eye steak, baked potato and salad, and I'm told that the clam chowder is amazing. Our server was sweet and accomodating, even turning the volume down on the music when I requested it. Also, lots of parking in the back. I also appreciated that the mask mandate/social distancing were being followed by ALL. There are a couple of downsides, which weren't a big deal to us but could be for others. First, this is primarily a bar -- in fact, the bar takes up an entire wall. So, minors are absolutely not allowed to enter, at all. Second, we're pretty much all about the food when we go out to eat. Atmosphere is nice, but not crucial. And, the atmosphere here is pretty meh. It's just one big room with a few tables and some interesting looking powder blue velveteen chairs to sit in, with low tables. It would be great to have a few more "regular" tables and chairs! Only because of the latter, I'll give Copper Mug a very solid 4 out of 5 stars. We'll be back soon!

I had been to the Laughing Clam before and wanted to go back. It was just as good as I remembered…read more We went for lunch, and I was immediately reminded of how much I like the restaurant's atmosphere. The exposed brick walls and old wooden bar give it the feel of a neighborhood tavern with plenty of character. I read on the menu that the building dates to 1894 and originally housed a cigar store where cigars were manufactured. Our server was personable and fun. I always enjoy trying a new beer, and after I told her what I liked and didn't like, she recommended one that was perfect for me. As on our previous visit, we had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded good. We finally settled on sharing several things, including the clam chowder, fish and chips and a Cajun catfish sandwich. The clam chowder was delicious. The coating on the fish was remarkably crunchy while the fish inside remained moist and tender. The Cajun catfish sandwich was also perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of heat. The Laughing Clam was every bit as good as I remembered. I will be back!

We were excited to try due to the great reviews. It was very busy the staff was very busy and not…read morestanding around. But they didn't even say hey be with you until at least 15 minutes. Wait for drink wasn't bad for as busy as they were. Ordering food and receiving food took a bit. Again very busy. The chowder was very tasty. Could have been a little warmer. The stuffed mushrooms were not what I thought. I didn't realize they were breaded heavily and deep fried. Then they pile a little bit of seafood then Swiss cheese. The grease from them frying then they sat in the grease made everything mushy. Barely any seafood and they were not fresh it was frozen bagged mushrooms. The clam strips were also frozen bagged. Not fresh. Hardly any taste. The ladies that served us were super friendly and nice. And my cocktail was a nice proper cocktail. I didn't realize really like the service and the ambiance. Very friendly spot even from locals.
