My wife and I used to enjoy the Pleasant Valley Grill regularly. The atmosphere is not too exciting, and the owners seem to lack interpersonal skills, but the food was reasonably good and a couple dishes were very good. Our favorite was the old fashioned chicken vegetable pot pies with the baked crust on top. One night a year or so ago, we ordered our favorite pot pie dishes, but something was terribly different about my wife's - there were no vegetables in the mix and it was very watery. It was obvious that the kitchen had run out of the main ingredients, but served it up anyway. I called the waitress over to see what could be done and she looked at the pot pie and spotted a single carrot slice, exclaiming, "See, there's a carrot"! No apology, or let me see what I can do, or I'll check with the kitchen. We politely asked her to check with the kitchen (the owners) to see if it could be replaced. After checking with the owners, the answer was "sorry, it is what it is". I said, well we don't want it, please bring my wife a steak, which she did, and charged us for both the steak and the uneaten vegetable-less, watery pot pie. We finished our meal, left and have never returned. An amazing attitude for a family run business. Since that time, we have discovered that our experience is not unique, many other (former) customers have received similar treatment. Someone should remind the owners and the staff, that they are in a service business, and nickel-and-diming customers does not inspire loyalty or goodwill. There are plenty of other great places to eat.
We stopped by the restaurant by chance on our way back to Vacaville from Grass Valley. The food was 'FANTASTIC'! My husband and I ordered each of the two specials offered on Saturday night - Pot Roast and Pork Spare Ribs. We normally do not eat much red meat anymore, but I have to say the pot roast was incredibly flavorful, tender and cooked like my Mom used to make so long ago. The spare ribs were so tender I was able to pick the meat off the bone with a fork. The meat probably would have slid right off the bone if I had tried. The dinner came with fresh vegetables that were cooked just right. I heard the waitress read off the desserts to the table next to us and if we had any room left, would surely have ordered one of their delicious sounding pies. We would definitely eat there again.
Best "comfort food" EVER
