Ahi tacos.
Tim R.

The hotel is very nice. Beautiful room. The restaurant appears to relaxing and comfortable. My Alfredo with shrimp was below par. Pasta was gummy and over cooked. The shrimp was rubbery and it too was over cooked. The favor was tasty but the presentation was not appealing. Would not recommend this dish. My wife's Ahi taco was presented nicely and she enjoyed her dinner. Service was friendly but really slow for nit many people at the grill. The three stars were due to my dinner was subpar at best.

Ahi tacos

Had higher hopes for dinner at the Grill. Beautiful atmosphere and hotel , nice looking menu but overall a disappointing meal. I had the ahi tacos ---tasty but clunky to eat. The ahi was rectangular ---and not nearly as pink as I'm used to so flavor was not there --- and thick and impossible to eat as a taco---sounds crazy but it would have been better if a little smaller and thinly sliced with more slaw so the tortilla could wrap around . So it was good just not great. My BF had the pasta with prawns ---3 huge prawns but they were overcooked like the pasta which was really gummy. The server checked in quickly to see how things were , and I gave her a weak "good" but my partner had a mouthful and she took off so he wasn't able to let her know that things were not to his liking. Service was attentive with water but again, just not great meal. I also thought it strange that 20% service charge was included in the check because I put it in our room , so keep rhetorical in mind . Bread would have also been nice to enjoy while waiting for quite a long time for the dinner . I'd try agin and opt for the steak salad !

Prime Rib French Dip Sandwich, Au Jus, Horseradish Cream, Fries

My partner & I had a date night at The Grill this past weekend and it felt like a really special place... I just can't figure out why it was completely empty. We made a 6:30pm reservation for Saturday night, and while there were a few people in the bar/lounge area, we were the only patrons in the restaurant for the entire hour & a half we were there. It was Thanksgiving weekend, so there's that... but it was just really odd. Overall, the food was phenomenal. My partner ordered the ribeye and he was really pleased with the cut of beef, the way it was cooked, etc. I ordered the prime rib French Dip sandwich and it dethroned my long-standing favorite from Los Altos Grill (Los Altos) and Rutherford Grill (Napa) of the Hillstone Restaurant Group. I mean, it was really freaking good! I think the reason for only 4 stars is the service lacked a bit throughout. The staff outnumbered us 4:1 easily... so it was strange that our water glasses ever got empty, or we had to ask for to-go boxes or our check. Our server brought me a box, but no containers for the au jus or horseradish cream. The Grill feels like fine dining, and I was expecting a higher level of service... if for nothing else, because we were the only people in the restaurant. I'll be back for that French Dip, but I'd probably eat in the bar/lounge next time.

cheeseburger with mashed potatoes and gravy

Wow. I left with such a happy stomach. We had the brussels sprouts at first which was out of this world and must never be taken off the menu. Next came out my burger which they allowed me to add mashed potatoes on the side and wow it was that a game changer. we had the macaroons and you're probably expecting some small macaroon from a box... But no way Jose we got three ginormous macaroons filled with the creamy custard known to man. I also got a Shirley Temple, which was really great. Not only was the food fantastic, and made me feel like I was dancing on clouds, but also the service was fantastic. Not only is the grill right there that you can say hi to the chef and tell them how great their food is, but also the servers were super kind and attentive. Also looking around there was a self playing piano, which was pretty sick. The ambience was amazing paired with great food going to my mouth and piano in the backround. What a special night. Shout out, Rose... She was a great server.

The Grill in the Hotel Diamond, Chico, California. Feb.2024.
Wulfstan C.

We ate here for brunch the first time on our latest trip to Chico and had a mixed experience, although one which shows promise and it seems possible that the defects we encountered were due to a bad day. The place is nice and attractive inside, on the ground floor of the lovely Hotel Diamond in the heart of downtown. There is a nice bar area and a separate dining area. So far, we only had brunch this one time. One of us got the french toast, which had nice flavour and good bread with a nice chewy crust but softer interior. However, it was a little undercooked. 3.5 stars. Had it been prepared just a little better, probably 4 stars easily. The rest of us got the prime rib eggs benedict, again a dish which was fundamentally good but a bit sloppy in the execution. The Hollandaise sauce was good, the eggs nicely cooked, and the prime rib nicely shredded and cooked well, with some slight touches of crispy edges but otherwise nice and pink and not overcooked. The potatoes which accompanied were also good with nice flavour and crispy but not overcooked for two of us. However, the English muffins seemed like they were not toasted at all, being soft, blond, and chewy. Also, one of us had potatoes which were badly overcooked and hard, while for all three of us the dish came out barely lukewarm, as if it had been sitting, and the surface of the Hollandaise was dryish and dull, also indicating that it had been sitting. 3.5 stars, but could easily have been 4.5 had they been prepared properly and came out hot. Related to this, it took a very , very long time for our food to get there after we ordered it and then only two of us were served at first. The other two dishes came out long after,by which time the first two of us were halfway through our meal. We noticed several other tables suffering the same problem, or worse. One table of 4 which we saw had only one person served for some time and by the time the rest got their food, she was already finished with hers. From where we sat, we noticed that there appeared to be confusion or discussion among the servers and cooks at the kitchen area, which seemed related. Coffee was good and strong but came out unreliably also. Service was friendly. We would be willing to go back and there is definitely promise in the food quality, while at this time we feel that it is very possible that this was simply a bad day. However, as things stand, we could not give it more than 3 stars and if this proves to be normal after future visits, we probably would not go back due to the issues noted.

Food was good. Interesting, eclectic menu. I had a fish…read moretaco and a pork bahn mi taco, both very good. My companion had a California burger and they enjoyed that as well. So if I was basing they review on food alone it's an easy 4 to 4.5 stars. Service was lacking. I arrived first and took a small table in the very back corner. When the waiter came by I let them know I was meeting a friend I hadn't seen in over a year and we were planning a long lunch. It was a Saturday afternoon and not busy. My guest arrived and the sever didn't come back for at least 10 min. But ok. No biggie. We ordered a soda and an iced tea. When those arrived we ordered food. My tacos came quickly and then we sat, looking at my food while we waited for the other entrée, the burger. 10 minutes later it shows up served by another server, no explanation or even acknowledgement that it took 10 minutes between me being served and my companion being served. Anyway our server was MIA for the rest of our stay. No offer of a refill for our beverages, no asking if the food was ok. Nothing. We stayed about 2 hours total and my normal policy is to double the tip because I have taken a table for about twice as long as normal. Unfortunately service was sub par. Oh and tea was incredibly strong not in a good way.

Burgers and Brew is one of those places I don't get to nearly as often as I'd like, but whenever…read moreI'm in the area and stop by, I'm reminded why I like it so much. The name pretty much tells you exactly what you're getting, and thankfully they're really good at both. The burgers are the main event. Big, messy in the way a good burger is supposed to be, and actually worth being hungry for. There are enough options that you can switch it up every time, although I usually end up staring at the menu for way too long just to order something similar to what I always get anyway. The fries are great alongside it, and obviously having a good beer with everything doesn't exactly hurt. The atmosphere is another reason I like this place. It's lively and casual without feeling like they're trying too hard to manufacture a "cool" restaurant. You can come in with friends, grab a burger and a beer, hang out for a while, and nobody is rushing you out the door. Service has always been friendly and pretty on top of things, even when they're busy. And considering how packed places like this can get, that deserves some credit. It's definitely not an everyday kind of meal unless you're trying to personally keep the beef industry afloat, but when you're craving a real burger, Burgers and Brew is hard to argue with. Five stars and absolutely worth coming back to.

What a great spot for some food and drink. Good options has far as beers and ciders. I was happy…read moreto see they had a Brewery X Seltzer but sad to find out they were out. We only ordered sweet potato fries. They were very good and the portion size was amazing. The main reason for the five stars is the bartender. I did not get his name but he was great. Younger guy that was very kind, respectful and made sure we were taken care of. Good spot to hang out. Restaurant was busy and a lot of the food we saw go out looked very good.

Visited September 10 2026. See my receipt as always…read more This is another cool brewery and restaurant! They have indoor and outside seating. Because it was alittle hot outside we were able to eat indoors with my well behaved pup! We shared the Korean pork ribs which were slightly crispy and flavorful! Very good choice! We also had a hazy beer and I had a glass of wine. That get very busy as soon as the doors open at 11am! For some reason my puppy seemed a bit scared of the noise so we packed up the food and left. Cailyn was very kind and understood my dog wasn't having it and needed to leave! It's a fun place with a great menu!

We were easy - same exact dish and drinks for us both and she recommended the steak skewer with our salad. We had the Mexican themed salad that had roasted corn in it and I died and went to heaven eating that salad. The lime dressing was sooo good. The meat was so tender and tasty. No gristle!!!! I was fully expecting some but it was perfect meat. Well flavored and perfectly cooked. Not only did our server give us the best advice, she also sent us out the door with a refill of iced tea. In this heat, that is so kind. She probably saved me from dehydration!! We had the nicest drive back to the Bay Area. We talked about coming back with our manly men. They would love this place. Chico is just as nice and less expensive than the Bay Area. I recommend visiting this lovely restaurant and brewery. I would have had the beer but I can't mix alcohol and heat that I'm not used to. So... in the immortal words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!" I am so embarrassed! I forgot to take pictures!!!! I was that bowled over!
