Restaurants near Downieville Guard Station

Gar Woods was crawling with tons of folks looking to spend a great Thanksgiving with a great meal and good friends. For as jam packed as they were, the staff kept everything moving as smoothly as possible, which was an incredible feat! The menu was a choice of Thanksgiving Turkey or Thanksgiving ha plus you could order off of their normal Dinner menu if you preferred. Most of my group had the Turkey and it came out piping hot, covered with gravy, mashed potatoes, white and dark meat, dressing, cranberry sauce, and asparagus tips . . a feast for the eyes and stomach . . followed by apple pie and ice cream. An incredibly joyous and memorable evening. Gar Woods never fails to deliver and deliver it did. Lots of smiling faces that night!

I love this restaurant! It’s always delicious food, great cocktails, awesome service, fun music and ambiance. I recommend the filet.

Cora was perfectly attentive. I especially value when servers don’t just bust in while we are talking but also walk by and can tune into what we need, when we need it. Teresa the bartender was engaging, offered a creative twist on our beverage we didn’t end up preferring, and she handled it perfectly. The food was exceptional. Love the new menu. The food was not only DELICIOUS, it was also presented beautifully which also added an extra touch of class. Love the Sawyer and will keep coming back.

Food good. Had Rib Cap - delicious and tender. They only serve a couple a night. Music from bar was a nice addition. We were seated at a table close enough to see but far enough that it was pleasant background music. Wine selection was very good and the service was good.

We had the roasted chicken breast and short ribs. Delicious. Our waiter, Michael, was very pleasant and attentive.
