Once you gain a required level of experience, they can take you out to Bidwell park to hit the beautiful trails which we really look forward to that! We love our lessons at the ranch, it's the highlight of our week. Plus they are right in Chico, only a few miles from downtown!!

(Make sure to ask one of the employees about the hanging coffee mugs!) What really stood out was the service. The servers worked together seamlessly, refilling drinks, topping off coffee, bringing requested extras, and checking in with guests. Definitely a well-oiled machine! As a solo diner, I had the opportunity to sit back and observe, and I was genuinely impressed. Every interaction seemed friendly, heartfelt, and professional. What a great combination! The restaurant itself is a sweet, unpretentious little diner. Pretty packed for a Tuesday morning, but I happened to arrive at just the right time and was seated without a wait. Coffee wasn't great but I did drink two cups so I probably shouldn't complain. :) On their menu, it states "We are proud of our large servings, so sharing a meal with an extra plate +.75. Half portions of omelettes and scrambles are available, price varies." Great option for me but pricewise, it's only $1.50 less. Something to consider. I ordered the Mexican Omelette, filled with green chiles, tomatoes, green onions, and Jack cheese, then topped with salsa and sour cream. The salsa was delicious and full of flavor, although a wee bit overpowering. It became the dominant flavor, and I found myself missing the green chiles and melty Jack cheese that I was looking forward to. That said, everything worked well together, and I'd absolutely order it again, just with the salsa on the side! Perfectly crispy hash browns and toasty English muffin rounded out this hearty breakfast. Delicious diner breakfast and incredible service!

The prices are fair as well.

I find that I crave eating salad and fresh raw veggies since we discovered this company 30 years ago and I am pleased to say I am in very good health. The olive oil is so much more fresh than that available anywhere else. If you visit them and sample the oils your senses will tell you not to walk away without a bottle or two. Words are insufficient to explain, you'll just have to try some. You may find yourself saying, as my uncle Norman said upon tasting it, "that's lovely".

Not only is their wine and champagne fantastic (organic-sulphate free!), it's also ideal for the kind of quaint and intimate gathering I was desiring. Everywhere I turned, there was a sweet face to converse and catch-up with. We brought in a great musician to play his saxophone while we all danced around. And my charcuterie spread was of the chain, fantastic. It covered a whole dining table. My favorite was enjoying my apricot and cream filled cake from nearby Upper Crust Bakery. Their server was on point. She kept everyone's champagne glasses full, which was crucial on this hot summer's evening. I wish I could party like this every weekend. It felt like a real Napa-Chico experience. I'd recommend to anyone to have their special event here. Thank you LaRocca, I'll be back! -Prairie

Highly acidic flat wine that had a few varieties in bottle. We choked our way thru the first tasting and apologized to the staff member " it just wasn't our flavor". I paid the full fare and he denied it. I apologized again and left it in his tip jar for two tasting and a glass. This winery has been around since the 80's. The tasting room was a bit cluttered and a nice tasting bar but staff not the wine held our attention. Maybe there's reason why wine has improved since the Dawn of time.

When walking around their property, it is evident how many amazing amenities there are. There are beautiful details, like an amazing bar & dance floor. Along with the scenic pond and nature around. In addition, their bridal suite is incredibly spacious, and to top it off, they make sure it is locked during the ceremony to other guests aside from the bridal party. One of the things I loved most about their amentities, is that they have additional helpers and support for set up & clean up. Their rules are simple and sensible, and it is obvious they cared. And to top it off, Judy's shed has EVERYTHING imaginable that you could need. We sincerely loved this place and will be recommending it to friends & family in the area.

--Correction--This isn't really a butcher, but a rancher that sells beef to regular folks, and…read moreworks closely with a local butcher so that you don't have to cut up a side of beef by yourself : ) I just couldn't find a closer category to put this in. When my wife and I lived in Redding, we started buying beef by the quarter or side from Tehama Angus Ranch, and became spoiled for life. It has an excellent flavor (not like supermarket steaks), the local butcher said it would qualify for Prime or Choice (among the best he's ever seen, consistently), and it's much more reasonably priced than some of the name-brand organic or grass-fed beef. I'm not "selling" for them, don't get a commission, not even a discount. In fact, I've never actually met the owners, just exchanged long, pleasant e-mails with one of them (Linda) several times per year. However, some of our other Redding colleagues have been to the ranch and were impressed with how it's run. The reason I'm writing this review is simply to reach out to people to provide them with options they might not hear about otherwise. Their prices for 2013 are $2.20 /lb and the cut/wrap, process fees are $.80/lb and $85/ animal. So the end price will work out to about $4.90 / lb in the package, assuming you buy by the quarter or half. Prices are only slightly higher than the past two years (despite increased prices for corn and recent recalls of beef from the big commercial suppliers). The net cost per pound can vary a little, depending on your instructions to the butcher (easy), or about $800 to $1,000 for the side when all is said and done. That includes a roughly even mix of burgers, steaks, and roasts, direct from a Chico-area ranching family (nothing like those smelly, polluting feedlots farther south on I-5 and Hwy 99). Our family of four eats a side of beef in about 1 year, or about 2 meals per week (~3 to 3.5 lbs per week). My wife and I have been buying our beef from Tehama Angus for the past 8 years or so, and have a really tough time buying supermarket beef anymore (have you seen the prices for Harris Ranch or Sterling Silver beef? And Harris Ranch is no longer a small, family-run operation). To stay "green" we make up for our beef consumption by also having a couple of meat-free meals per week, and usually round it out with chicken or fish... So if you're interested in buying a side of beef (~170 lbs) from a local, reliable supplier, give it a try. Don't worry, it's all butchered and wrapped into nice cuts for you similar to the supermarket (but wrapped in more eco-friendly vacuum packs or paper). You'll need a dedicated freezer if you buy a side (we have the smallest model, cost of about $170, and it's a tight fit). If you' re willing to cooperate with a friend, you could get less than a side, perhaps a quarter, and divvy it up after you get it from the butcher. For the record, I don't get any sort of financial benefit from this (not even a discount, darnit!), nor do I have any personal or family relationship with Tehama Angus beef, other than my annual e-mails with them to order beef and work out details. In fact, I have never met the ownersin person. However, I've learned via my e-mail correspondence over the years that they are long-time ranchers in Tehama County, really friendly, absolutely reliable for many years now, and with a few kids either recently off to college or just about to leave the nest.

Aside from some niche vegetables, I've had no problems finding stuff I need to cook Filipino food and more.

Its a casual yet classy place for lunch and dinner. They have a shaded patio in front as well ( dog friendly). I love smaller towns! Relatively no traffic or crime! My boyfriend and I ordered off the lunch specials menu. He ordered the smash burger and chose macaroni salad. I ordered the grilled shrimp on a skewer with brown rice and spicy coleslaw. We always try each other's food! The smash burger was juicy and the macaroni salad was good! My shrimp had a nice grill on it and the coleslaw was delicious. The brown rice was alittle dry for my taste buds. It has a full bar with tvs to watch sports. There is quieter seating on the other side of the bar area. Overall it was a good experience! Great menu with plenty of speciality cocktails along with some craft beers! Staff is professional!
