Restaurants near Ponderosa Gardens Motel

Have been to prior gold country steakhouse and safire about 8 times. The food has been consistently delicious, professionally spiced, well portioned, and presented with pleasing symmetry. Wife's alcoholic drinks were well proportioned. The blackened shrimp appetizer was an example of some creative cuisine that is rare around here. It's a joy to be able to eat and converse for 2 hours without suffering hearing loss from the oenophilec screaming, blessing many other chico acoustically challenged restaurants. You can actually chat here to your heart's content. Never any pressure by the wait staff to shove off. Servers, assistants, hosts all welcoming, efficient and helpful with ordering what's really good. Our waiter suggested pork loin with a sauce that was savory and sweet, reminiscent of hoi sin sauce. All in all, another lovely eating experience at safire.

They were super accommodating with our large group and they were willing to take us early than our reservation. The server and all the employees were super nice and attentive. Also, to top it off the drinks and the food were delicious.

If you get a chance, reserve your spot immediately. I am already booking our next dinner

First time there and were totally impressed. Food excellent, service amazing and atmosphere was great. Very busy and took a little time to get our food but well worth the wait.
