Foothill

The patio area is large and the tables are set far enough apart that you can't hear other people's conversations. We had the fish and chips and the burger and beer combo from the happy hour menu. The food was all delicious and the presentation only added to the appeal. The grilled lemon crown was a beautiful and tasty touch for my fish. The lemon released all its delicious juice and soaked the breading perfectly. Around 6:30 a guitarist arrived and played some flamenco style music. We didn't stay very long, just for the meal, but as the sun set, the lights amd heaters went out to create a great vibe. The old fashioned was pretty good, but a little on the sweet side for my taste.

The star of today's visit was easily the portobello mushroom fries and Rosebowl cocktail.  The fries were absolutely delicious and accompanied by a yummy garlic aioli. My guest stated that the Rosebowl cocktail was light, refreshing, fragrant, delicious and beautifully presented with a rose petal floating atop. The second drink my guest tried was the Foothill Fire and it was so spicy they couldn't  finish it,  even after the bartender added  more lemon and simple syrup to the mix. The fries outshown every other  item we tried today including the short rib sliders, pork chop with fingerling potatoes and roasted carrots, and the steak frites with bone marrow butter. The short rip sliders could have used more meat for $16 and the mustard sauce over the pork chop wasn't my thing.  Additionally, the ribeye was tasty as long as it was drowned in the bone marrow butter, however without the  butter it was in serious need of salt. Lastly, nearly 80% of the dishes we received today were garnished with or seasoned with rosemary. There was a rosemary sprig in the cocktail, rosemary leaves over my fingerling potatoes, and even the fries were covered in rosemary. Why so much rosemary? Are there no other seasonings? I was also confused by the service.. I had no idea who my server was and for a majority of the meal I was being attended to by the bartender who was also providing service to the patrons on bar stools at the bar. I didn't have a server check on me, refill my drinks, clear my plates, or bring me a straw after I ask for one. I am thankful the bartender was so attentive, I  don't know if I would have gotten any service at all if it weren't for him. Not to mention, while I was waiting for service I saw a group of employees eating dinner, joking around and counting their tips from brunch service. All that could have been done out of sight of customers if they were finished with their shifts. Overall, very disappointing experience.

First time here, it's amazing, they hit it out of the park! That's why I gave it 5 stars 🌟. Started off with: Drinks • Foothill Old Fashoined • Foothill Fire • Maduro Brown Ale • Victory Golden Monkey • water/ Soda's. Appetizers • Braised Short Rib Sliders • Mac n Cheese • Charcuterie Then: Main Course • Fish and Chips • Steak Salad • Steak Frites • Coffee-braised Short Rib • Soup De Jour-Lobster Bisque Excellent service. Food came out on time. Pleasant staff. Our Daughter was cold so they set her up with a personal propane heater. We sat outside, very spacious, no crowding, inside our out. Didn't push up to the bar but it was stocked. Give it a try and we hope you like it too!

I came here for dinner this time. They have live music in the patio on Thursday night. The musicians are talented. It was a bit cold tonight and they do not have enough heat lamp. Our food got cold quickly. Service was awesome. Out server was very friendly and attentive. Service was fast! However, they do not have complimentary bread to offer. Here are what we ordered: Crispy Cauliflower Flourets: this is my favorite dish tonight. It was well seasoned, very flavorful, but slightly too oily. Lemon herb grill chicken: it was a giant piece of chicken. However, it was overcooked and under seasoned. The meat was rough. Salmon salad: the salad did not have enough salad dressing. The salmon was over cooked and under seasoned. I love the brunch here, and gave 5 stars for brunch. However, dinner was disappointed. I will probably return for brunch, but not dinner.

Been going to The Foothill for years now and through the pandemic and before they've remained consistent and steadily grown. Tonight we were served by Travis and his attention to detail was impressive. The sun was setting in our eyes and before we knew it Travis was adjusting an umbrella outside so it didn't get in our eyes during sunset. Truly a gem. Thank you Foothill and Travis!
