"I recall this place opening not too long ago, so I was eager to try it out and see how the place was doing. One thing I do love about a cafe is the aspect of all day breakfast, and Sweet Basil provides such! The menu has TONS of options so you are sure tofind something you can enjoy. The staff are very friendly and the environment is very home-like and clean. One thing you arecertain of getting here are excellent sized portions of food, you are not going to leave hungry! The food is very satisfying andthe ingredients are fresh and well prepared. Overall a great experience! HOWEVER. I do wish to add a side note. While I wasvisiting, seated at the table next to me was a man who claimed to be the owner. He had a lady guest with him and the duo hadordered at least five or six full plates of food, their entire table was loaded with food! They merely poked at the food,laughed, chatted, and just left, leaving all of the nearly untouched food to just be picked up by the waitresses and thrownaway. Sure, you may be the owner, but it takes a certain level of arrogance and disrespect to just have your staff work hard tomake all of that food to merely impress someone just to throw it all away. It could have been taken come, or just have it boxedup and hand it to one of the hungry panhandlers out there. With so many hungry people, food costs rising, and familiesstruggling, it takes a certain level of I 'm too important to care to remotely justify this owner 's wasteful actions."

"I 've been going to Gold Ranch for years and it 's always been a great stopover for gas and gambling and a cocktail on the way back to Truckee. The food is usually great too. I was very disappointed to see that they had fired Dennis. One of my favorite bartenders. I can 't imagine why they would let go of such a valuable asset. The management has all changed and I have to say, not for the better. I saw one gal sloppy drunk hugging everyone and you couldn 't help but overhear her discussing (with some tattooed fellow) how she is going to close the bar at night? This tattooed drunk woman is in charge of the bar? What? What happened to a sense of pride in your job? None of the managers, like April or Marlene would have ever been caught dressed like that and certainly would never have been sloppy drunk at the bar where they work. I think it 's time to start checking out Boomtown 's new place since they made the roundabout easier to get back on freeway. The gas may be more expensive but they usually give you 15 cents off if you swipe your players card. Gold Ranch needs to figure it out, before they lose all their locals. The locals are the bread and butter and what keeps your casino rolling. Gas station will always do well but you won 't get employees if they can 't make money because no one wants to be there. And what is with the red shirts? You 've taken what classiness your employees brought and made it look like a third rate golf club. I sure miss April and Marlene and now Dennis. They brought class and had pride in their work and workplace."
