Restaurants near Bidwell River Park

This was our first visit to this restaurant since it became The Grill. We had very much enjoyed the restaurant under its previous ownership and weren't sure what to expect with the new one. We were pleasantly surprised. At first we were taken aback at how the limited the menu was, but what we found was that the dishes we selected were very well prepared and delicious. I had the Prawn Alfredo which came with three huge tiger prawns cooked to perfection, and papardelle in a creamy alfredo sauce. The pasta was al dente, just the way I like it. My husband had the Sea Bass which was also perfectly prepared and served on a bed of mashed potatoes. My husband wanted to see if the potatoes could be substituted for the risoto, but there would have been an upcharge for that substitution, so he stuck with the potatoes. The dessert menu was even more limited with only macarons served with ice cream or creme brulee as the two options. We went for the macarons but were told they were out of ice cream and would substitute in a scoop of raspberry sorbet. That was ok with us. The macarons were huge and were very good. There were three of them; we ate two and brought the third one home to enjoy later. The service was excellent; our waiter was very attentive without hovering. We opted for an early seating and were glad we did because the restaurant was relatively quiet which we preferred. Overall, it was a very good dining experience.

We really enjoyed our dinner at 628 steakhouse. The filet mignon was possibly the best I've ever had! Cooked perfectly and fork tender! My husband said the same about his ribeye. Brussel sprouts were wonderful, as was the gem salad! Great service! We do miss the ambiance that the Timbers steakhouse had, but all in all, a really great meal!

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.
