   Have really liked the restaurant at times. But this time, waiters were slow and weirdly haughty, and food not good. Yes, we asked main guy to pace our 3 dinners but we didn’t get entrees for more than two hours. Had to remind them, and when entrees arrived they were way overdone. $28 for 3 pieces of chicken that were rock-hard, worse than KFC, gnocchi very overcooked. Mixed drinks (Manhattans), $17 apiece, were in glasses the size of a large thimble (though they have always skimped on mixed drinks here). Dining room was, as always, very cool. But over all, a major and expensive disappointment.

   We have been fans of BVR for years but this meal was the best one yet! The fried chicken was moist and perfectly seasoned, and I had thirds of the acorn squash. The cocktail menu is extensive with many hard to find, top shelf ingredients crafted to perfection. Can’t wait to go back!

   Bull Valley Roadhouse and Port Costa are a step back in time but with just enough modern touches. The food and service are excellent and the decor and environment are historic and charming. I have been coming here for years and I’m happy to see the restaurant evolving and thriving. Well worth the drive.

   Food was cold. Three of us food came out at different times not together. Usually a great place. Food wasn’t up to par on Nee Years Eve unfortunately

    Prompt and friendly service, quiet and enjoyable atmosphere, but my $60 dinner that should have been hot came out cold. I ordered a seasonal cocktail that was creative but simply didn’t taste good.
