    wed night our first night at Long barn , we go to mias at 600 .I had heard good things about their pizza. The first problem we encounter no one seems to be in charge of taking names and seating. so there is a line about 6 groups before us I had to hunt down someone to let know we were there . we were told 30 minutes wait , yet there were empty tables outside and 2 inside So we wait 40 minutes later we are finally seated.We get the kids cheese pizza and a large half garlic chicken and half ham pinapple. and we wait and wait and wait 40 minutes to get our pizza So ive been there 2 hours when they bring the pizza My 8 yr old says I waiterd all this time for this when she sees the cheese pizza.  we ate and got the hell out. Our waitress was very sweet and continuallly kept apologizing for the wait. They need a hostess and they cant seem to keep up with their orders. The pizza was good , but we will never go back.

    Ah, Summer at Pinecrest Lake. A fun relaxing time with family and friends. A break from the cares of everyday life. Swimming in the lake and stories round the campfire. Almost idyllic, except for the lack of cuisine choices. Sure the Snack Shack works for lunch, if you don't mind waiting an hour for a darn tasty burger. But where to go for a nice sit down dinner?

    We thought Mia's was the place, but no--no table for you! That was our experience last year. After waiting more than 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge our existence and our hunger. Sure, I hadn't showered in a few days, it was a camping trip, but is that reason enough to keep walking by with tasty looking pizzas and not offer us a table, or add us to a waiting list? Is it right to call service bad, when really there was no service at all? A trip further downhill for pizza filled our stomachs, though left some of our party stuck to the seats.

    This summer we had it all figured out. A reservation. Yes, call Mia's in advance and make a reservation! By George, we've got it. As in the classic Seinfeld episode about airport rental cars, Mia's knows how to take the reservation, they just don't know how to hold the reservation.

    We arrived promptly for our 6:00pm seating and were relieved to see a table for our large party already set in the middle of the room. An indoor table as we had requested. The restaurant wasn't even crowded. Yes, we would soon dine! Even the wait to talk to a server was shorter than last year. Alas, what Mia's made up in initial speed, they lost in a very rude waitress. She directed us to the outdoor patio, explaining the indoor table was for another party reservation. Someone had mistakenly written down our reservation as outdoors.

    Sure, one goes to Pinecrest for the fresh air and mountain views, but after so much outdoor time we just wanted some time indoors. To much to ask after last year? Perhaps. The unseasonably cold evening air, lack of outdoor heaters, multiple yellow jackets per member of our party, and a lack of outerwear (we made an INDOOR reservation)--this wasn't getting off to a good start.

    Mia's doesn't have a single large outdoor table big enough for our party. No problem, moving two tables together would resolve the issue. Silly us, Mia's doesn't allow there table to be moved. We asked to speak to the manager. We eventually spoke to a young woman who said she was the manager. She seemed annoyed we were taking her away from her duties of ignoring the tables in her section. She could not offer us an indoor option.

    It took about 20 minutes for someone to come and take our drink orders. Not too worry, the young children in our party kept busy by outrunning the yellow jackets swarming around out tables. Not wanting to wait another 20 minutes to get our dinner orders in we quickly placed both drink and dinner orders and began eating bread.

    To be fair, the food at Mia's is good. Good enough to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes for a pizza? I'll leave that up to the reader to ponder and decide. The poor woman who was our waitress and took the brunt of our frustration, she seemed to be making the best of it. She confided in us that this was the worst night all year. Nice try sweetheart, but let us regal you with the tale of our Mia's experience last year.

    Our plans to stiff Mia's on the tip was also thwarted, due to automatically adding in  a generous 18% gratuity for our large party. Maybe they were counting the yellow jackets as additional dinner guests. At least they made an effort to comp us the drinks. Unfortunately we only ordered a couple of sodas and mostly drank water.

    I took my family of 5 up to Mia's for the first time. We sat on the patio to enjoy the mountain air. There were different sized tables and we found a good size table to accommodate my family. It took a while to get our menus and drinks gong, but once our waitress got going she was non stop with excellent service and a friendly attitude. There were two other waitresses backing her up which impressed me. We started with the wing trio for an appetizer, they were delicious. The sauce served with the wings reminded me of an Asian sweet and sour sauce. It was delicious and savory. I then ordered the French Onion soup. Wow, the soup was awesome. It was wholesome and tasty and the portion size was huge. My wife and I shared it and we were not able to finish it. We then got our pizzas.The pepperoni pizza was really good. The supreme pizza was even better. The meats used on the pizzas where high quality, the cheese was delicious, the veggies fresh and the sauce was very tasty. The pizza dough was thin and crisp. all together the brick oven pizzas are excellent. All in all it was a nice little place to have lunch, spend some time with the family and hang out. I'll be back for more.

    Mia's is fantastic! Their food is always really good and I like that they have a dog friendly patio area. This is really nice if you're spending the day at pinecrest with your pet. I have had the brick oven pizza on several occasions and it is always excellent. Today I tried the arugula pizza-delicious. Good service too. Stop in the next time you're visiting Pinecrest for the weekend.

    This was a nice stop.

    The pizza was a little pricey.

    The drinks were small.

    The staff seemed nice and engaging in conversation.

    Nice and clean

    I'm still dreaming about the amazing lunch I had at this place a few weeks ago!  The french onion soup was incredible (and a total steal at $7) and the pastrami sandwich with HOMEMADE(!!) potato chips were also delicious and very well prepared.  The staff was really friendly and while the service did seem a tad slow, the quality of the food made it all worth the wait.  If you're driving up to dodge ridge or pinecrest I would highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat!

    On our annual snow trip we stopped in here for my birthday dinner on recommendation of the manager of the cabins we stayed at. I was pleased with the service, and the appetizers of chicken wings, and calimari were quite tasty. I ordered the chicken marsala and I must say that when it arrived I was a bit disappointed with the size of the order. For the price I expected that the chicken medallions to be a bit larger and the red potatoes also be a bit larger and a bigger helping. Though it was tasty, I left the restaurant hungry. The pizza was good however, and my kids did enjoy it thoroughly. I didn't rate it 5 stars only for the portion size as I felt it could have been a bit more generous for the price one pays. Good experience overall and one must have reservations or expect to be waiting a while.

    Love this place!  We went on a Saturday after being in the snow and it was great.  Super cute, cozy and great food.  We had the Margherita pizza and it was really good.  I highly recommend this place. Have a few drinks and enjoy the beauty of the pines.

    Still great.  Almost two years after our previous stop into Mia's, we headed there after a long day of skiing in the storm.  We got to Mias and it was packed!   But as we arrived later than those who came straight from the ski resort, we were seated immediately and as before, got great service.
    It is nice to come into a place and see that two years later they are still as good as we remembered it.  They were understaffed as it was a Sunday at the end of most schools' winter break and yet, full house.  Nonetheless, the food was not rushed, and was delicious!  ANd despite being a bit harried, the servers still brought on their A-game and made our meal great.  Still deserving of the previous 5 star rating

    The food is great if you don't mind waiting for it.  The wait staff is young, inexperienced and does not have good customer service skills.  We have a cabin up there and have eaten at Mias on several occasions and won't be going back.

    We stopped in with our family friends on our way home from camping at Pinecrest. When we walked in, no one looked up. We just stood there waiting for a while.. and there were several employees just standing around chatting.  I finally asked if we could seat ourselves . The hostess was super rude to us, and asked us to wait.

    We then thought it would be nice to sit on the patio, since we had 5 kids with us, and it had a sign that said "dog friendly", and no one was outside. Sounds perfect, right!?

    We started putting two tables together, and the hostess said we could not do that, and we could not move the umbrella over the tables!?

    um... ok... we all just kinda looked at each other, and walked out.  And ended up going to Pie in the Sky down the road. Which, by the way, is AWESOME!!!!

    We gave Mia's a try when we realized the Mexican restaurant that used to be next door has closed down.  The patio is beautiful and the inside of the restaurant really nice.  We had pizza and salad and two in our party had pasta.  The servings are very large and the salad and pasta was fantastic.  The pizza was good but a hair on the salty side.  

    The servers were nice enough but very slow.  Not just because the pizza takes a while, that I could deal with.  But slow taking the order, slow bringing drinks, slow clearing plates... You get the picture.  I'd be willing to I've them another try but I would make sure I went earlier so that I dont starve waiting.

    Great food, pleasant attentive service, nice atmosphere ( if you have a hearing aid-- you need to crank it up). I'm planning to return as often as possible. Although, I would have given a fifth star, but one of the lightbulbs was burned out in the massive chandelier. No, seriously, the service was a bit slow--the place was packed on a holiday weekend, which is understandable, but despite our flawless server, it was probably the kitchen overrun with orders. I recommend this place to anyone.

    After a long day of fishing and hiking, pizza from Mia's really hits the spot.
    Their service is friendly and they have a good menu ranging from pizza to pastas, salads and steak.
    I LOVE their polenta appetizer - polenta topped with tomatoe sauce and crispy onions. Yummy!
    They are a little expensive for a restaurant up in the mountains but it is well worth the money.
    I highly recommend you give this place a try.

    We stop by Mia for lunch on the way to Leland Snow play center. We ordered the French Onion Soup which was my first time having it here in California. It was ok but we felt thirsty after having the soup and not sure if that could be due to the seasoning. The pizza is freshly made at the restaurant so we have to wait like 20 -30  minutes for it to be ready.

    There was only 1 server/waitress and her service is very good which deserve 2 stars but overall wait for the food is way too long. Another star for the home made or fresh potato chips which came with the panini. This restaurant is along highway 108 and you cannot use the business address to find it. We have to use this address instead 30040,  Sonora Pass Highway, Long Barn, CA. The city Cold Springs is not found in the Garmin GPS or in-car navigation system.

    I've been three times now, and it's become my go-to place if I want some interesting food in a pleasant setting. It's a bit expensive, but as a treat it's worth it.

    I had the scallops at one visit, which were perfectly done and presented on a professional and thoughtful plate. The other meals were equally very good, including the pizzas.

    There's a nice variety of beers available, as well as some other interesting drinks. The ambience is quite nice with a high ceiling and a massive chandelier that must've been hellacious to get and install.

    I think it's easy to create a mediocre, high-caloric-density, eating experience that will just fill your stomach and get you on the road. What I enjoy about Mia's is that it seems that they focus more on the pleasure of the eating experience here - which is worth paying for. At some nearby places I've groused about the cost, since the food was average or below, but I don't have the same opinion here.

    Recommended.

    Took family of seven with several kids here and it was totally surprising and impressive.  Good size for big parties without having long wait.  

    Cajun pasta and Puttanesca plates just amazing and flavorful.  Kids loved the pizza. Fresh sourdough bread they serve at table is out of this world.  Reasonable alcohol prices.  Delicious sangria.  Nice friendly atmosphere.  Would highly recommend.  Anyone who sees the outside then goes in and tastes the food will be really surprised.  My guests from LA were super-impressed and the kids were delighted.

    I'm flabbergasted by some of the lukewarm reviews here.  Give this place a try.  You will enjoy it.

    So why not five stars? Just one negative which took this to a four-star review from a five-star.  The servers and staff here are not particularly friendly.  We had a female server who was not horrible but seemed somewhat indifferent and aloof. Seemed a bit annoyed when we would ask for things and at least one of the other people at my table noticed it and mentioned it.  The managers really need to impress how important that aspect of a restaurant to the success of the business.  It didn't ruin the meal, but a number of reviewers here received somewhat lackluster treatment by the servers.  In our case, we had a party of 7 so the tip was AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED.  Maybe the server figured we weren't worth the extra effort since tip was included (actually, kind of tacky to include the tip in the first place for only 7 people).  But fix the service issue and the place is a five-star review.

    Went to Mias and the wait time for Anything (except for seating) was so long. We went on a Sunday around 5 and there was only 1 other table with only 2 people at it.  Waitress brought waters and then it took at least 1/2 hour to get her back to take orders.  She didn't ask what we wanted to drink so we  stuck with the Tap water given to us.  I ordered the artichoke bruschetta however, the bread came out black and burnt. Afraid to complain due to how long it would take to get it again.  The kids ordered pizza and they seemed happy with it.  The biggest complaint is the wait and not figuring out why.  Two waitresses and two tables of patrons.  Hmmm maybe one oven?

    The food is very good but it can take up to an hour and a half (90 minutes) to get your dinner.

    It would have been nice if they told us that it would be well over an hour before we would be served.  We stopped in for dinner before the movies at the lake and it took so long we had to change it to go.

    During our wait people would come in, order food to go, and then were out in 20 minutes with it.  It seems that "to go" orders are more important that people who dine in.

    When we mentioned the long wait to the waitress she told us others had to wait even longer (so what are you complaining about attitude).  She was right about that as two other tables near us said they had been withing for almost 2 hours.

    Again the food was good but they do not seem to value their customers time.

    Get ready for a long review!!

    The food and service here are really great, for the most part, but after going here with my family last night, I'm a little annoyed with one waitress in particular named Alicia, who "helped" us. I only know her name is Alicia from our receipt, she never introduced herself.

    My brother and sister in law, two nephews (an almost 4 year old and an 8 1/2 month old), husband and myself were here at 5 o'clock  yesterday evening. We were seated in the front of the restaurant, at the half-booth table. Our waitress takes our drink order, (brother in law and I stuck with water, while sister in law and husband ordered an iced tea and a soda), and my sister in law asks about a bread-stick appetizer they once had. Waitress Alicia tells us they don't do it any more, but she'll bring us some bread which USUALLY comes with an entree. But because there are kids at the table, she'll bring them some bread. Ummm, ok really don't do us any special favor and go out of your way to bring us bread... The fact that she had to mention that was a little odd and VERY off-putting.

    Any way, we order our pizzas and two salads are ordered, (split tab, one pizza and one drink for my husband and I, and two salads, one pizza, and one iced tea for the in laws) and we wait. She brings out the salads, with the wrong dressing, (which is on the side) and when this is pointed out, she says "Well, it's on the side." Most wait-staff might say "Oh, I'm sorry. Let me fix that for you." but not Alicia. It's like she wanted to argue with us or something. While waiting, we all go through our drinks. She comes back once to refill my sister in law's iced tea. But just her tea. She apparently doesn't see (or care) about the empty waters and sodas on the table. So my brother in law (who is pretty pissed by now) grabs his and my cup, goes up to the bar, and asks for refills himself.

    When our pizza is getting ready to come to our table, she brings the pizza stands and tells us (doesn't ask us) to pass our plates to the end of the table, and stack them up so she can collect them (which never happened). By this time, her tip was SO far out the window is wasn't even funny. We're getting our own drinks and busing our own table, why does she deserve a tip?

    Our pizza arrives. Mia's has GREAT pizza. If you don't have reservations, it's worth the sometimes hour and a half wait. Yes, it's that good. The in law's ordered a Martguerita pizza with added pepperoni, and my husband and I ordered just a regular pepperoni. The crust is nice and thin, and the pepperoni is good and spicy. It's a little greasy, but nothing too bad.

    I think during the rest of our stay, we saw Alicia two brief times... She checked up on us once (after a couple other waitresses already checked on us), and brought us our boxes and checks. When she brought our boxes, she threw our remaining pizza in the boxes, and some of the pieces were upside down. Nice. She never returned to pick up our checks... My husband had to walk them up to the bar. Needless to say, there was absolutely no tip left on my part of the check (which she screwed up). She charged my husband and I for a salad, and left it off the in-laws tab, which wasn't a huge deal, but I think she couldn't have cared less. From the way it looked, she was working tables outside and we were her only table inside, but there weren't that many tables outside to warrant her absence. It's really unfortunate that the service from her was so bad. There are some AWESOME waitresses here. The in laws usually get Casey as their waitress, and really like her. There's another waitress with long red-ish hair that checked on us and was very polite. Will I come back?? Absolutely. I'll just make sure my husband and I aren't sitting in Alicia's section. It may seem like I'm picking on her, but really, she was just awful.

    Pretty good stuff I have to admit. We had called ahead since we had a party of 10 and they were able to accomodate us immediately upon our arrival. The server was quick to get things rolling and get everyone situated with waters, drink orders etc...

    We opened up with the Artichoke Bruschetta, the Fried Trio, and couple of orders of the wings. The brushetta was excellent except for one small detail. Several of the bread slices were a little overdone to the extent of being burnt. No big thing. The wings were good, I prefered the Italian version compared to the sweet / spicy glazed. Now the best part...the Fried Trio. People will probably call me nuts but I really, really like the deep fried Sicilian Olives stuffed with anchovy. They were kick ass. The Mozzarella sticks were pretty good too.

    I won't bore you will all 10 dishes we had just the 2 my wife & I ordered. The wife ordered the Steak Salad and she was a little disappointed. She wasn't expecting the grilled steak to have such a strong rub. It dominated the flavor of the steak & that wasn't what she was looking for. I ordered the Italian Combo pizza & it was pretty good. Had to drink plenty of water though because all the Italian meats were pretty salty & left me parched. But it tasted good and thats what mattered.

    Service was good, no complaints there. Beer selection was pretty good to so thats a positive. Food was pricey but I expected that for an out of the way place that serves good food and has limited competition.

    Long wait, horrible service is all I have to say about this place. We had to wait 45 minutes to get 1 pizza. The placer was not that busy so I am not sure what took them so long.

    We dealt with 2 waitresses and found both of them were very unprofessional. To top it all, they got our order wrong.

    This is the place to go when you're jonesing for a pizza after skiing at Dodge Ridge or fishing in a nearby lake. While you're waiting for your hand-tossed pizza to cook in Mia's brick oven, treat yourself to a bowl of house-made, every so slightly sweet, French Onion Gratinee. The French Onion soup is enough for two to share if you're getting a pizza or pasta.

    My favorite pizza is the "Chicken & Garlic" with creamy garlic sauce, chicken, crispy pancetta, roasted garlic, tomato and green onion. Get the large pizza and reheat the leftovers for lunch. A large pizza is $22 and is enough for four adults.

    My husband's favorite pizza is the Italian Combo which has: sauce, cheese, pepperoni, salami, Italian sausage, pancetta, Serrano ham, Kalamata and Sicilian olives, green onions, chili flakes and chopped peperoncini.

    We also liked the Pasta Puttanesca which has fresh basil, capers, Kalamata olives, garlic, diced tomatoes, pine nuts, chili flakes, and spaghetti tossed in extra virgin olive oil. It's sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

    Mia's is slightly upscale with a huge vaulted ceiling and beautiful chandelier. But you can certainly wear anything and feel comfortable here.

    There is a decent wine list with most bottles of wine priced between $22 and $34.

    Skip the Limoncello (an Italian lemon liqueur). I wanted to like it, but even in a flask at the top of a mountain in sub freezing temperatures--it would still be undrinkable.

    Mia's is closed on Monday & Tuesday.

    Been passing by this little gem for years now. Just by chance my wife and I were headed west from Clarks Fork on hwy 108 and decided to stop for lunch. Wow!! Were pleasantly surprised. The place looks small from the road. However they have a driveway around bouth sides and lots of parking in the rear. A nice outdoor patio and the inside is very clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and eager, we had two waitress' coming to see if there was anything we needed. Most importantly all of the staff that we saw seemed genuinly happy at there work. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Now the food. Perhaps the very best part of this place is the food. They make everything by hand. Brick oven Pizza, Mountain chips wich are hand made potatoe chips. @#$% is so %^&*'ng good...Worth the stop and the wait everytime...

    The pizza is decent but waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes to get it is CRAZY!  It wasn't that busy so what was the hold up?  I ordered the chopped salad. It came drenched in dressing. I could taste nothing but the dressing.  This was our 2nd time eating there so it wasn't a fluke.

    I must say that I am so disappointed in you yelpers.  I read through the whole first page of reviews and nobody mentioned the french onion soup (technically I think they call it a gratinee)!!!!!!  It is to die for...  I live 2 hours away from Mias and have driven that two hours just to have their soup for lunch, it is that good.  I have never had a french onion soup (and I try it everywhere that serves it) that has had the depth and richness of Mias.  It just explodes in your mouth, a hint of acid followed by rich beef broth, simply wonderful.  A word of caution though, it will burn the shit out of your tongue when it comes out of the brick oven so wait a minute or 4.

    As everybody else on here says the pizzas are great, but don't short change yourself.  Their entrees are also good.  I have had an excellent whole snapper a la plancha, and the best pork tenderloin I have ever ate.  It was nice and juicy and cooked medium, melted in my mouth.  This place is pretty much awesome, so friendly and accommodating.

    We are from Marin County and Mia's has become our Saturday night tradition when up to our cabin for the weekend.  It compares favorably with any midrpiced restaurant  in Marin for food quality and service.
    Their bread is best anywhere and if you don't watch it you can easily fill up on it.  This last time we had their scallops special and it was otstanding.They have a excellent selection of microbrewery beers.

    After two visits  I can officially rate Mia's the 5 stars it deserves.

    We adore the crispy-chewy pizzas fired to perfection  in a brick oven. Plain pepperoni is always a favorite with the kids but look past the plain and check out the specialty pizzas...
    Mia's has some  creative combos, we've tried the Jerked(jerked red sauce), Mia's classic and the Creamy garlic chicken pizzas. (the photo is half Mia's combo, half creamy garlic chicken).
    Our kids enjoy the open kitchen, watching the chef spin the dough is pretty entertaining.

    Nice beer & wine selection.
    Friendly & attentive service.
    I am positive we will return again and again to enjoy Mia's.

    I don't consider myself a snob (okay, fine, maybe just a little bit), but when I saw the sign "Cold Springs -- Population 101," I bumped my culinary expectations down a little bit.

    After dining at Mia's, I was pleased to realize that I hadn't needed to.

    The waitress started us off with a few slices of fresh-baked bread with balsamic vinegar & olive oil. The bread was warm and oh-so-soft but had a hearty crust. The spinach salad we ordered was lightly tossed with vinaigrette and sprinkled with pancetta bits, dried cherry, red onion, egg and olives. Hungry as we were after a day of snowboarding at Dodge Ridge, we ordered the 18" Mia's Classic (salami, pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, onions, and olives).  It had a nice thin crust, and all the toppings were fresh and flavorful. We only ate a third of it that night, but the rest made for very tasty leftovers the next day. All this and a raspberry cider came to just $45 including a 20% tip! (For it being in the boonies and away from easy access to produce etc., I expected prices to be much more inflated.)

    We now know where to go if we're back in the area. And if I happen to be dining in another small town, you can bet I'll be comparing the food to Mia's.

    My folks and I were up in Pinecrest for a few days.  After a long day of driving, none of us wanted to cook on our first night in our townhouse.  We drove to a store down a ways to pick up some items for breakfast the next day and asked the cashier where a good place to eat was...Her immediate answer was Mia's.  We decided to follow her advice, and boy am I glad that we did.

    Despite there being a pretty decent crowd, we were seated almost immediately and our service was quick and excellent.  We started out with an apple gorgonzola salad, which was delicious and offered a great balance of flavors.  We followed that up with a custom pizza of chicken, prosciutto, capers, and roasted garlic.  It was an extremely tasty combo...Although I wish there would have been a little less of the capers and a little more of the chicken.  But overall, I can't complain too much.

    Definitely a great place to stop and eat!

    My folks have a cabin in this area so I'm quite familiar with the spotty restaurant quality that comes with the mountains. Places come and go quite often. I've been to Mia's twice now since it opened next door to La Morenita and it was outstanding both times. We ordered custom brick oven pizzas both times with sun dried tomato pesto sauce, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and feta. I think they also included two other cheeses. Usually pizza is pizza for me, but this is the best pizza I've ever had. They should really add it to the regular menu.

    We started off with the apple gorgonzola salad which was also delicious. Four of us split two salads, and an 18 inch pizza. We ended up taking a few pieces home. Last time we brought in our own wine ($12 corkage fee) although they have a pretty impressive wine list for the area.

    The ambiance is great and it's probably one of the better places to watch a sporting event since they have multiple flat screens by the bar area. There's absolutely no competition for a place like this in the mountains where food is typically mediocre, service is typically poor, and ambiance isn't even an after thought. If you're passing through the area and are hungry, definitely stop here.

    After reading reviews from other Yelpers, we went there this last weekend to get lunch and dinner. We had a classic combo and margherita (sp) pizza that lasted us through lunch, dinner, AND the next day! We also had some polenta frittes which, when dipped in the sauce, were heavenly after a long day of sledding with kid and dogs.

    The pizza is excellent and fresh. The crust is just right, and the price for the polenta, 12" and 18" pizzas were at $50, which considering lasted 2 adults and 1 hungry 5 year old for 3 meals is a steal.

    We look forward in getting more pizza and trying some more of their extensive menu when we go back up.

    A nice place to stop and get a bite to eat after hiking or skiing.  The pollenta was tasty but a bit oily.  The Jerk Pizza is very tasty and perfectly cooked - the crust is doughy, hot and just that perfect chewy-ness.

    I also ordered the Daddy's Noodles for my son.  Plain noodles with cheese and a bit too much oil.  

    But this is a good place for salads and drinks after a long hike in the Emigrant.

    Very good food and a great place to cool off during the summer.  The steaks and salads are worth the drive.

    WOW!!!!
    25 years of near nothing and finally a great place to eat!  Amazing!  We hope it lasts.  The owners were the same who had the Strawberry Lodge when it was good, and now they work magic with this remodeled building.  It is fantastic and well done!  This place can hold a flame to some of the great Bay Area hang outs.  Well done!  But.... the service is slow.  Be prepared to wait.  But its worth it!
