    Chicken entree
    Mikala C.

    Wows all around! I love this place. I came here with a friend to celebrate an engagement and it was the perfect restaurant. I loved the unique flavor and texture combinations, and the presentation. This chef knows his stuff! I loved that it was clearly family run and everyone was so friendly. Families and kids were welcome and I felt comfortable there even though I was not dressed fancy at all. I will come here every time I visit Grass valley. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

    Always the best, most imaginative and well presented food in the county. Chef makes fabulous meals of local and seasonal produce and his family and staff make the entire meal a treat from entry to exit. The service here is so attentive and unobtrusive, always my favorite. Dessert was killer good, we shared the Crepe Cake, holy cow, so good! Look at this masterpiece, fall flavored crepes stacked, with apple compote, cream and caramel, I could eat it everyday. Thank you!

    Thanks to Crystal and Michael for making out 45 Wedding Anniversary  unforgettable!

    Class Act here. The food is fine dining with a pleasant atmosphere. The menu and congratulation card was a special treat to help celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary! A shout out to Michael and Crystal for making this evening unforgettable!

    OMG...Chef Zach hit it out of the park this evening, as did the entire staff! Jen, our server, was beyond spectacular! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Wagyu steak with truffle gravy and garlic mashed potatoes....beyond delectable, and everything was perfectly cooked. We loved Zach's father, Michael's jokes! Can't wait to see y'all again soon! Thanks for a delightful Christmas Eve dinner! We adore you! And thank you for accommodating our seating request. Oh, and Allie, thank you for the box of cookies you and your mother made. You truly are national treasures!

    Pssst. Everybody! Lean in here. Let me tell you ~ this little gem likely won't be a secret for much longer. Get yourself to Twelve28. Go. Now! Learned of this place by way of passing reference by a fellow live music lover talking about stopping here on their way from Chico to Nevada City for a show. So grateful I saw that, because wow! Hubby and I got to swing by for an early dinner after an afternoon show at The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley this past weekend. Arrived a bit earlier than our reservation time to a friendly welcome; greeted and seated right away. Alrighty then. Start to finish, we had great service from our server (Haley, if I remember correctly). We opted for: ~ the stone fruit salad ~ incredible! Easily the favorite of our visit. The charred sweet onion was the perfect complement to the sweet stone fruit and creamy parmesan mousse. ~ heirloom tomato salad ~ such a unique twist on the classic Caprese. ~ the cachapa ~ sweet, spicy and absolutely delicious, and the slight amount of leftovers were killer with some Gallo pinto and farm fresh eggs the next morning. ~ pan seared sea scallops ~ beautifully composed and balanced dish. Would happily order it again tomorrow. Can't wait to return (looks for next excuse to head up the hill...)

If we lived closer we'd end up as regulars here, but we'll definitely return on random weekends (and making reservations next time.) The feel of the place has a grotto and barn type of vibe. We'll check out the outdoor seating next time. There was nothing on the menu that disappoints so far. We look forward to exploring more (the duck wings will make a repeat appears for us.) This is a fun balance of higher end dining and multi regional creativity that we really enjoyed. The mix of high and low is something we explore a lot in our own kitchen, so we welcome that energy when dining out.

Food: The food was delectable. We did two raw bar items, a starter and our mains. We were very hungry, so it was the perfect amount. They have a super curated wine list, and we got a Pinot Noir from Santa Maria Valley that was excellent. The short rib poutine was SO amazing and I loved my duck. Ambiance: Great, cozy vibe with lot of brick. Bustling but not too loud. We were kind of tucked at a table without a ton of room around it, so that was a little awkward to wiggle into. But overall, if you're in Nevada City, this is definitely where you want to go for a special dinner!

We were starving after a very long drive! I ordered a regular plain burger and my friend ordered the teriyaki burger. Both burgers had a great taste to them and the buns are delicious. They were out of regular fries so we had to get jojos instead (similar to steak fries). There was only one other person in the establishment but still took over 25 MINUTES to get our to go order. I can't imagine how they do when they have more patrons! Staff was friendly. I didn't take pictures of the food because we were so hungry and needed nourishment before getting back on the road.

A beautiful historic building from 1876 with all the rustic charm you'd expect , original hardwood floors , beautiful wood beams and a cozy little bar right when you walk in . The staff was super friendly, great customer service and hospitality, squeezed us in without a reservation! My wife and I enjoyed the Chicken Marsala and Beef Stroganoff each served with mashed potatoes and mixed veg. Both meals were cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce that should accompany each dish . 10/10 for me on both dishes, it would be hard to pick a favorite but I'd have to order the stroganoff again on my next visit ..... too good!! Both meals came with a delicious side salad - blue cheese dressing was house made and yummy! Fresh bread, two different kinds , both were spot on . Iron Door hit a home run with every single portion of our meal and the rustic country charm of this hidden gem was the icing on the cake!!! I almost don't want to share my secret........ but if you are visiting Graeagle, pass on all the dining options in Blairsden and Graeagle and head up the mountain to little ol Johnsville for a meal that is sure to satisfy! If you want to impress your friends the super cool hidden gem that only the locals know about, The Iron Door is THE place to go. Cheers!!

We called right away, and while the employee apologized and admitted it was their mistake, the only solution offered was to "take it off the bill." That doesn't really help when you've already driven 30 minutes home and now have an incomplete meal. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled matters. Offering a refund doesn't fix the inconvenience, the time lost, or the fact that part of our dinner was missing. A better effort to make it right would have gone a long way. We didn't just lose money...We lost time, convenience, and part of your meal. A manager should have gotten on the phone and said something like, 'I'm really sorry, we messed up. Let me fix this for you.' A sincere effort to problem-solve, not just a refund. Really hoping more attention is paid to orders moving forward.
