The theme of Old California and the spirit of California's gold rush era are alive and well at this popular Grill & Saloon. The décor, ambiance and atmosphere are perfect. It's like eating in a lodge in a gold rush era mining town: a cozy place with a great saloon, a fireplace, a mother lode of décor on the walls, classic Tiffany lamps, a great American lunch/dinner menu and a wonderful smokehouse aroma. There's a great salad bar that comes with most entrées, wines are discounted to half price on Sundays and Wednesdays, there are nightly specials, and they also have a good happy hour.
Appetizer Favorites
