Clam chowder in a bread bowl

Why there isn't a line out the door is beyond me! The food and service are amazing! Paradise you've been keeping a secret! We ate here 2xs in 3 days and probably will again. Great work Blue Lagoon

I had the Alaskan Benedict which was salmon with avocado. SO Good! The home style potatoes were excellent, too. The manager/ waiter was super nice and attentive. I love the way the restaurant is decorated the ambiance. The booths are new and very comfortable. I will definitely go again when I am back in the area.

Fish & Chips

The lady serving us was really nice but nothing about the food was good. Actually, I take that back, most of my side salad with ranch was good but there were a few pieces of brown/wilted lettuce that were gross. It was a nice size though and the croutons were good. Now, for the rest of it. I was excited when the fish & ships arrived because it was a pretty large portion for the price, but the batter/breading was too thick/a bit mushy on the inside while the fish was overcooked (dry). The potato soup was lukewarm and I didn't think it was worth asking them to warm up after a taste of it. The Alfredo was a bit of a strange consistency and the shrimp were overdone but the noodles were okay. I didn't try the breadsticks but I will maybe do that another day? The place was bright and clean but a small family tried to fit in the booth behind us and they couldn't (the table and the benches don't leave much room). I'm hoping that things were just a little off because they're new (or new to me, I haven't lived in this area very long so I don't know if I've driven past it before and just missed it) and will get better with time. Again, the staff was lovely, but the food was sad.

We have past this little gem of a restrauant many times. We stopped in today for lunch and what a great secret (hopefully it won't stay that way). The website says opens at 11am. They serve a full Breakfasr, lunch and dinner menu with a young persons menu as well. Chant'e promised us they do open at 7:30 am. She was great, super friendly and yes, a super server! I had the Tuna Melt with clam chowder and it was all PERFECTLY prepared. The taste of all was spot on. Not sure why the 2 rating but truly not our experience today. Extremely clean and the coastal vibe is well done we thought. Great job and thanks for hanging in there for the ridge!

Clam Chowder
Dawn B.

Service was great. The food was horrible, chowder was soupy. The fried calamari was previously frozen as was most of the food. Though everything looked great, the taste not so much. Definitely, most of it was NOT fresh. Sadly, looks like we won't be going back, the old Pelicans Roost was better, so we will have to travel there from now on.

Seafood combo: shrimp, coconut shrimp, huge scallops, two 8 inch pieces of cod, clam strips

Debbie's isn't one of those places you find just anywhere when looking for someplace for breakfast…read morebut once you find it, you make note of it so that if your ever able to make it back this way again, you'll visit. That was my thought the first time I went there and I was even more pleased because we had just migrated to the area and can visit anytime ! Debbie's is just how you'd imagine a small coffee cafe to be, homey with farm style furnishings, a lunch counter and friendlier staff then you may have expected. At slower times ( not days, I've yet to see them have any of those!) your invited to sit wherever you choose. The menu is simple, the usual fare you'd expect for a diner but don't let that put you off. There hasn't been one thing I've tried off it that hasn't been delicious and portioned generously. A specialty of the house are their "thin" pancakes. Crepe-like but not a crepe, it is a pancake and you can get them plain or blueberry, I recommend the blueberry but I'm partial to blueberries. I don't ever order pancakes EVER but, this caught my eye so I gave em a try. I order pancakes now. Well, I order pancakes at Debbie's. Parking can be an issue, they're a small place and parking is limited but thankfully you can park on the street if the lot is full. If you're traveling in this area, this is one of those local gems you definitely don't want to pass on.

Had the chance to revisit Crush recently while passing through Chico. It really held up. We made a…read morereservation so we could be sure to get in this time. We were promptly seated, and given a great spot near the wall-sized indoor fountain which was nice. We started with cocktails and appetizers, and they all came out quickly. We started with bread, which was excellent. We moved on to the grilled artichokes, which were also pretty special. The jalapeno aioli added to the smokiness of the grilled artichokes. We loved them. The bib salad was also a treat - nice chop, and the lardons were perfectly cooked little flavor bombs that stood up nicely to the blue cheese. We had the lobseter ravioli, and the single-layer crispy lasagne for our meals. The lobster ravioli was delicious, and the freshly made sundried tomatoes added a little extra structure to balance the plate. The single layer lasagne was really interesting. Wasn't sure what to expect, and the server said it was a little controversial, so I tried it. It came out as a large sheet - fresh spinach pasta sheets, layered with a delicious bolognese sauce, and topped with pesto and bechamel. Unconventional? Yes. Delicious? YES! I'm so glad I was feeling experimental - it was an innovative dish. Overall, we loved it. Service was very solid - attentive, without being intrusive. Perfect evening! Previous review: Dropped in here just to check it out. We came early on Thursday, and it was jumping! Got a seat at the Kitchen bar to have a few apps, and a cocktail, and had a fantastic snack and talked with some great folks in the kitchen. Pizza is fantastic wood -oven style, and the service was great. Wish I had photos - but I'll save those for the next time i visit and do a more thorough tour of the menu.

10/10 - Read on for why…read more My wife and I have enjoyed Crush for years. The ambiance is amazing, and we've never had a bad meal. In the past we came for Happy Hour as their appetizers, pizzas, and small plates are delicious. Yesterday we decided Crush was the place for our 14-year anniversary, and it exceeded expectations. The food was delicious as always (I had the Allen Prime Rib and my wife had the Short Rib Stroganoff). But what took it over the top was our server - Ethan. He was friendly, warm, personable, attentive, and on top of everything. Being at a great restaurant with great food is only a GOOD experience if your server is disengaged, but when your server is awesome, it elevates everything. My wife and I ended the evening highly satisfied and grateful. Thank you Crush (and Ethan) for such a great anniversary night.

Love love LOVE this place. It took me a long time to come here because other reviews made me…read moreskeptical that I would be impressed, but I am, and this has become one of our consistent go-tos. They have absolutely NAILED their Pana Cotta. Normally, I wouldn't be a huge fan of pana cottas as it has come across to gelatin-y in the past, but I get it every time. The service is amazing. It is clear they are aiming to offer an elevated experience. That being said, it is on the longer side of a meal, and I find it much more enjoyable when I accept the leisurely pace and order an appetizer. When I do order an appetizer, the meal seems perfectly paced. Without it, it could seem a bit slow. I've loved the zucchini blossoms, calamari, and Caesar salad. (I do really like the burrata ones as well, but it's just so easy to make on your own from Trader Joes at a much lower premium.) I also love that they offer complementary focaccia, which used to be made in house. I don't believe it is now, but it is still very good. My fave dishes to get are anything with their droolworthy polenta like their chicken or veal saltimbocca (I prefer the chicken) for dinner or their chicken marsala for lunch. The chicken marsala probably is my absolute favorite, which means I HAVE to come here for their lunch sometimes, which are only Thursday and Friday. Really lovely atmosphere. I have and love to sit on their porch but no longer do because of the traffic noise. Chico designed Bruce with the traffic light right there and it's so bad - basically a raceway for meatheads in their loud trucks and motorcycles when the light turns green. Mosquitos absolutely become a problem so while I love that they sometimes put up the garage style doors/windows when the weather is nice to create a lovely indoor/outdoor experience, if you're a mosquito magnet like me, that is not the time for you to come in without mosquito protection. (One time was so bad that even though they closed it, I left with - I kid you not, I counted - no less that 18 mosquito bites on my calf.

I was told that they give a 10% discount if you're in the campground, it wasn't on my bill. But let's get to the food they charge you for two tiny sticks of garlic bread like that's ridiculous. A small pizza with just mushrooms and olives my bill came out to $37. I'm sure they take advantage of people in the campground, not sure I'm positive. I should've done my research and read the bad reviews. I will be calling today and asking the owner for a refund because the pizza was not edible!!! Pizza dough was raw in the middle, not cooked right hardly any sauce . And the two sticks of garlic bread were a joke, like literally a joke .
