“My goodness what a breath of fresh air! Creative, nostalgic yet relevant, a place that ladies can be be ladies and couples can immerse themselves in style. Bartender takes such pride in his creations and the atmosphere makes one feel so special. A must experience!“

“The parts I remember after hitting a concert in town were superb. Always a good friendly crowd and the drinks are always right on. Actually, closed the place - had such a great time. Made new connections and hopefully long-term friends. This is a staple of Chico, I guess you could also say a "stable" as in a grounded watering hole.“

“Their food and atmosphere is very high end with prices to match, but a investment in the gift cards you can buy at Costco 20% off is yours to use anytime I was a big fan of the Sunday Brunch on their beautiful patio with local musicians, unfortunately I think Covid might have been a contributing factor to its discontinuation (I'm thinking staffing issues as with other local restaurants that either had to close or cut back hour, even though they were very popular prior to Covid) this still doesn't take away from all their other meal options of superbly creative food with a gourmet flavor profile! My servers have been extremely knowledgeable about the food served and its ingredients (I have major food allergies and a latex allergy so I need to know things like did the prep chef cut themselves and need to wear a finger cot,since as far as I know they still haven't made a Nitrile or vinyl one, I have had anaphylaxis from a salad the food prep cook at a different restaurant wore so I ask this of my servers to save my life and not all are as kind about getting this information as the servers at The Red Tavern have been and all know allergies possible cross contamination.“

“If you are not intimately familiar with this place and a regular patient, then basically I don’t know what you are doing with your life. Carlos makes incredibly good food, the portions are solid, the drinks are delicious and not a rip off, the bartenders are nice and fun, it’s just a great place. That said, the new hours for the rest of the summer are killing me. I repeat, killing me.“

“The Sycamore Tap & Table is the place for Hilton Gold and Diamond members to get breakfast. Gold and Diamond members receive a $15 breakfast credit for up to two guests. Most of their combos are $!5. They also have a breakfast buffet for We decided to get a French toast for my wife. I got it to go since she doesn't like get out of the room, or bed early in the morning. I came back for the breakfast buffet for $14. The breakfast buffet was a typical hotel buffet with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatos, oatmeal, fresh fruit and breads. I choose the buffet because I couldn't decide which combo I wanted. Everything was cooked in the restaurant fresh. No powdered eggs like at the Residence or Hampton Inn. Service was good. The waitress was nice and attentive. She made sure that my coffee cup was always filled. Sycamore was a good place for breakfast while staying at the Doubletree.“

“Hands down, some of the absolute best food and cocktails in town. Christian’s menu + Franco’s mixology skills and humor make a long day at work easily forgotten. This is my Cheers with WAY better “bar food.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I have yet to be disappointed with B Street. This business came after we moved away from Chico but we've visited it a handful of times when we've come back to visit. Great atmosphere, nice patio, and delicious menu. I'll give 5 stars for food but 4 stars for service. Server was nice but a little slow and unattentive (a little too relaxed of a vibe on him). That wouldn't be a big deal for me except it was a weeknight and it wasn't busy. Duck fat fries are a must. Be ready to share, even the smaller serving is huge! Tried the trashy tacos on our last trip down and that cheese skirt really lit my fire. Bacon and blue salad had all the fun flavors. I just had wine but I'd love to try some of their fun craft cocktails on our next stop in.“

“Look. The bar n patio are lovely and the drink menu nearly as uninspired as gratuitous.However....don't go there if you're not into less than friendly, aloof even, staff who attempt to make themselves appear waaayyy more informed than you when you ask for 2 luxardo marinated cherries and he corrects you by saying TWICE" they're Maraschino Cherries"(Yes. I know.)And I guess don't go there if you want a bartender to recommend libations by promoting their specialties or say... Conversing with the customer...Definitely dont go there if a 10$ tip for 2 drinks is too shabby for even slight eye contact from the bartender.and maybe don't go there if u feel like laughing and don't want to be stared at. I dont know.Maybe just don't go there.I'm likely not as there was nothing impressive about it now 3x, and let's face it. I can't feign disinterest and detachment at that level. HahaThey think they know they're better than us.Au re vours Argus“
