"The food was so good! We got three pizzas and all were amazing! Our favorite was the pizza with cilantro and gouda cheese! We have several food allergies in our family and it?s hard to find places to eat and hard to find places that understand and are accommodating to our questions and concerns. This place was AWESOME in customer service along with being delicious! Our 15 year old daughter called the night before with questions. It sounded safe so we showed up for dinner the next evening. We asked several more questions and informed them of our allergies and they were SO great! We have soy, sesame, peanut and tree nut allergies. The kids couldn?t eat everything but most things were safe for them. The hostess asked the cooks and checked everything for us. They even informed us they would clean everything again knowing our allergies and cook our order separate to be sure. Our waitress double checked everything as well. This was AMAZING service. We rarely eat out, especially on vacation so this was a great treat! Thank you so much from a momma with kids who have food allergies!!"

"We dine at River Ranch as often as possible, and after finishing playing for the show, The Prom, with Truckee Community Theater, my husband and I had the privilege of taking my band members to dinner. It was fun being served by Esa, as always, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My drummer and 2nd keyboardist had not been to River Ranch, so it was totally fun to introduce them to this wonderful experience."

"It gives me no pleasure to write this review. For years Plump Jack has been a staple for both locals and visitors to the Valley. Casual, midweek dinners in the cafe, birthdays and big events in the dining room--the food always very good, and the prices high, but not unreasonable. For well over a decade, I have happily recommended it to friends and dined there on a regular basis. What happened? Well, first, it seems, a new chef. A new chef and a new menu. The dishes now offered are either too fussy or too pared down. Cornish Game Hen? Shrimp and Grits? An $80 filet?!! Gone are the stellar burger and satisfying flatbreads. Gone are the great, healthy, seasonal offerings of salmon or lamb. And in their place, diners are left to deliberate between plates of food that offer no comfort, no joy, and no fun. So far, at the new Plump Jack, I have eaten: a lackluster baked ziti more at home at Lanza's with sausage added for an absurd additional price , a stodgy shrimp and grits where the grits shared the consistency of wallpaper paste also, why not more cohesion in the menu? This one sticks out like a sore thumb , a paper-dry pork chop, and a market salad full of rotted bits of bag-o-lettuce. Perhaps, if I weren't so turned off by the price of the filet $80 , I might have had a better dining experience. For reference, the filet at Christy Hill is still sitting at $58 and the filet at Manzanita is only $72, a steal by comparison! . Okay, so Plump Jack has made it clear they're no longer interested in serving local clientele. After all, what fire fighter or teacher in the local school district can afford these prices? It used to be that locals could dine in the bar and leave the higher priced menu items for the dining room. No longer. What's worse, is that, if the food were good, I might not balk at the prices. But the food has decreased in quality and reliability. The truth is, I've given the new Plump Jack enough opportunities to prove to me that the new menu can be a winner and the new prices are justified. At every turn it has failed. We're just going to go to Christy Hill from now on. And, if we want to get gouged for average food, we can always just go to the Ritz at Northstar. RIP old Plump Jack, RIP. Oh, and the situation is so bad I created a Yelp account simply to write this review."

"The receptionist 's handling was terrible. When we arrived 10 minutes before my reservation, there was no one at the reception desk, so I asked a nearby staff member for help and was told to wait for 10 minutes. We waited but was not approached, and later-arriving guests were seated before us. When I approached the receptionist who eventually guided them, she said, You didn 't tell me, so there 's nothing I could do about it, without any apology. What should I have done in this situation? Server was courteous. Although the wait was long. The food was just plain good."

"Arrived at 6:15 for a 6:30 reservation, was asked to wait in the bar for a few minutes for our table to be ready. Waited 20 minutes in the bar to get a cocktail not the bartender’s fault, she needed help) and watched several other parties arrive over the next half hour and get seated. Finally got the host’s attention at 6:50; he had apparently forgotten about us. We were finally seated at 7 and our experience improved greatly from that point. Our waiter Rob was excellent and the food was also outstanding we had the dry aged ribeye). With a little help with the host and in the bar this would easily be 5 stars."
