"We were recommended to dine in Cirino’s after our car club drive to Reno was halted by the snow storm. Cirino’s accommodated our party of 20 with no reservations, and created an amazing dining experience for all of us. Our waitress was correct when she told us everything on the menu was good. Even with our party size, food and drinks came out quickly and refills were ordered and served before us asking. Food was delicious! Love it when a restaurant serves warm bread, and the sourdough bread basket was an amazing start to a delicious meal. Lobster dip with pita chips was amazing and great to share. The dip was warm and creamy and melts in your mouth. I was torn between ordering clam chowder and French onion soup, and I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. Shrimp risotto was cooked to al dente, but I preferred mine to be more creamy than crunchy. Rib eye was served with mashed potatoes and on a bed of grilled vegetables. 7 layer chocolate cake was very rich and dense if that’s your preference."

"It's a small place with with a large taste! This was the place for us and our Vegan friend to all find something we would love! We had the Lobster Benny, Lobster Scramble, The Portabello Tofu Scramble and the Chile Relleno Special. All made to perfection. I had the Jalapeno Hollandaise sauce on the side...it's so good. BlackBerry/Mango Jam and the Habanero sauce are a must. It's a bit loud Inside and we waited about 30+ mins, but well worth it!"

"The restaurant is far too small now that it's completed. They also removed the native plant garden to make way for a parking lot, which makes all their claims about caring for the environment seem completely insincere. I can't stand how crowded it gets, but it's the only co-op in town. The area used to be filled with meadows and wildflowers, which were truly beautiful. Unfortunately, the county has ruined that and continues to overdevelop, adding large office buildings, many of which sit empty. The traffic is a nightmare. There's a lot of hypocrisy here, but there's really no other place like it. When you see their "we care about our planet" slogans, don't hesitate to roll your eyes."

"Everything was just fantastic—the carne asada was seasoned to perfection! And oh my goodness, the onion and cilantro on the tacos were spot on! The cheesiness of the quesadilla combined with the flavorful meat was just right. The customer service was also exceptional; I truly wish I could eat here every day! They really go above and beyond in every aspect! I’ll be returning as often as I can! I absolutely love great Mexican food—it's my favorite comfort food, adding a bit of spicy goodness to my life. Thank you for these wonderful meals! The atmosphere was great too, and the staff took excellent care of the customers while also keeping everything clean. I highly recommend this place! Enjoy!"

"Every visit to Alloro Cucina is enjoyable. The restaurant is housed in a restored Victorian Era house with a great atmosphere. The food is likely the best traditional Italian cooking you will find in the Sacramento area. I'm partial to the Lamb Shank the meat just falls off the bone when you touch it. Best I've ever had. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the wine selection is adequate and affordable. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"Overall, it was a good experience. I ordered the Caesar chicken box, and it was quite tasty. The place reminds me of Subway, though they operate differently. The interior was clean and well-kept, and the staff was very friendly. The prices were a bit higher than I anticipated, but the quality of the food made it worth it. Just a heads up: there are no public restrooms, so plan accordingly. They do wear masks and have arranged the tables for social distancing."

"I absolutely love Taste of Thai. As someone who was born in Thailand, this restaurant comes the closest to my mother's Thai cooking that I've found in the US. The staff are truly amazing, and the food is exceptional compared to any other Thai restaurant I've tried in the country. Taste of Thai consistently goes above and beyond, and I have so much appreciation for their hard work and kindness. Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner"

"the service was terrible, the manager was aggressiv with my friend they do the service fee and tips that we scream my friend in English and also in Italian. good eating does not mean good restaurant. a good restaurant must offer food quality and good service, smile, respect and low profile. the manager was violent and aggressive. that's terrible.. we should have fun and have a nice evening meal. but. do not go and take them place. ps: when they go and sit, they pay 25 box for a pizza and they do not want to give any teller. only plastic cup and plastic plate only if u ask several time .. and then they do so by screaming the tips. no way"

"I've eaten here several times, and I have to say that the wet burrito experience reminds me of Juan's Place in Berkeley, CA. The meat is fresh, and the burrito is nicely moist, topped with verde sauce. Not only are the taste and quality excellent, but the prices are quite reasonable as well. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy, with the option for outdoor seating. If you enjoy a spicier kick, be sure to request their habanero sauce. The takeout packaging is also impressive. Overall, I would rate the food a 5."
Tea • Soup • Fish • Sushi
"The atmosphere inside is casual, and they do a lively business with takeout orders. My boyfriend and I sat at the sushi bar and shared the spicy tuna roll and the baked salmon roll. I found the seaweed wrap on the tuna roll a bit dry, but the baked salmon roll was excellent. The edamame and miso soup were also fantastic. We ordered the avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese roll to go as well! They offer beer, wine, and sake, and I was pleasantly surprised that their chardonnay was rich and delicious! Since it was a Friday night, I recommend arriving early because it gets quite busy. It’s also a kid-friendly place. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely be returning because the miso soup was perfect and they offer a solid selection of sushi and vegan options."

"Burger Cream is definitely a must-try restaurant! I visited their other location near 4980 in Auburn, and it was fantastic. After a fun day at Empire Mine, my wife and kids were in the mood for a great burger. A quick search on Yelp led us to Burger Cream. I can't recall exactly what we all ordered, but everything was delicious. We also sampled the Gouda Cheese Bites, and they were phenomenal. Additionally, the restaurant is very clean, and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend it—5 stars!"

"I recently visited family in Nevada City, and we were on the lookout for a place to eat. I came across Diego while browsing Google Maps, and since none of us had dined there before, we checked out the menu and all agreed it looked appealing. I opted for the shrimp enchiladas, and I can honestly say they were among the best I've had in the last decade. The sauce was incredibly tasty, with just the right amount of spice, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. The rice and beans, along with the grilled vegetables, made for a wonderful combination. The others in my party ordered tacos and the Portobello plate, and it's safe to say everyone was pleased with their meals. Coming from the Bay Area, where we have some fantastic Mexican and Latin cuisine, I didn't expect to find such delicious food in Grass Valley. I would highly recommend Diego to anyone living in or passing through Grass Valley. They offer outdoor seating and have a cool, funky vibe and decor. I’ll definitely have to try their desserts next time!"

"Absolutely the best burger I?ve had in my life!! Everything is always cooked and assembled to perfection! Based on taste and mouth feel, I should be paying $70 a burger! The smoldering pine is my go to, but I?ve probably tried about a third to half of the menu over the years. The pesto fries are bomb and the dairy free shakes are my wife?s absolute favorite she wouldn?t dream of ordering a regular milkshake even if she wasn?t lactose intolerant!! Sadly we moved, but we make a point of eating here every time we?re in town."

"Definitely for families and elderly people. Good hamager beautiful rolls. The food was good. Just like that. The recovery was not creamy. Girls wouldn't come out. So she didn't want to give coffee anymore. No coffee, no cream. Very busy sitting for 25 minutes. 10 more to wipe table. The order. So we threatened the door to order. Working. When you sat at the door. The light over us had spiders. 3 on the ground. And on the fat. They only need their cleaning team to do the work they generally pay. It's a pretty new place to be dirty. One thing I thought was strange if you were a CREDIT CARD, you did your GASS STATION. It's just not good. Please tell us I only had cash. So they charged me for a credit card fee. I used the card instead. But paid money for tips. Girls said, otherwise they also tax her and she must share it with everyone. I guess that's the new way. But a total of 5. For Grass Valley, this place gives you good food, fair price. Not one point on your plate for 25.00 a meal or more."

"Looking for the best sandwich shop in Grass Valley? Sourdough Co is it. Conveniently located in the parking lot shared with Safeway walk up, bike by or park your vehicle and walk in for dine in or takeaway. The sandwiches are prepared with quality meats and fresh produce and made to order. Ask it to be toasted for that extra hearty goodness. Also available; soups, salads, soft drinks, iced tea and baked goods/treats.Only complaint this day and will surely be resolved quickly; the bathroom situation: one was out of order; the second had no paper towels and hadn’t been sanitized for a while.Neither a reason not to visit; try the Turkey and Dry Salami sandwich; my fav!"

"The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with people, making it a fantastic spot to unwind! I ordered the Iced Peach Green Tea, which was delightful. My warm ham and cheese croissant was freshly made. It's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some time. Plus, it's conveniently located just across the side street from a large bookstore!"

"This pizza was amazing. The ingredients were real and fresh, the atmosphere was fun and friendly and the staff seemed really fun to work there. The whole place was clean, including the bathroom. We had a pizza that was like a Philly cheese steak pizza and it was so good. The sauce on the pizza was practically the perfect amount. The cheeses they use were the best for the maximum capacity cheese strings, the peppers and onions were cooked for perfection. We also had a Caesar salad. Oh, my God. The sauce was amazing, the cheese was the perfect sharpness. I warn you how much sauce to use. They give you the sauce on the page to start ONLY ONE CUP. I needed one and a half years and thought I was doing it a little hard. I wish there were more in the bowl. We have a family size and might have eaten 2. We looked at their tacos and wanted to try them, but we stopped on pizza, We will go again when we go to visit family again. Our server was also amazing. He was sweet and friendly and on the go. I knew I wrote that. I forgot his name. But thank you. The whole experience was simply amazing."

"Standard taqeria with the usual menu items. I tried super burrito asada to go and was not really impressed. My friend kept urging me to go back and try it again. This time i ordered the same asada super burrito but for dine in so it came on a plate. I went to the condiment bar while waiting for my food to get the chips and salsa. There was much more stuff. I sothered my burrito with grilled onions and guacamole sauce, garnished it with jalapenos and radishes, then topped it off with pico de gallo. Yum!"

"3.5 stars for the declining quality of meat and the mechanical handling of pre-made food that meets U.S. standards. 4.5 stars for the hardworking staff in a challenging and crowded environment. This particular Jack in the Box has consistently met my expectations. However, I sympathize with the moms working overnight next to a cold drive-thru window, facing what are clearly outdated conditions. The food maintains the consistent quality associated with Jack in the Box. It's worth noting that food quality has generally declined across most fast-food establishments, and overall restaurant costs have increased with a weakened U.S. dollar. I genuinely appreciate those dedicated workers who manage a job that few of us could handle in real life. Regarding cleanliness and the quality of food served, I would say they are doing their best given the circumstances. I usually order breakfast sandwich meals, flagship Big Burger meals, desserts, and milkshakes, so this gives you an idea of the basis for my review. Cheers!"
