Hidden Valley Tavern

May 1, 2023

What a cool spot if you’re in the Sapphire area.  Lovely decor, great porch and good food!  The bar is a great place to hang out and meet some locals too.

The Digs:

Absolutely Gorgeous!  They have gone out of their way to make this place beautiful.  I happened to be there for Christmas which I’m sure made it even more magical.  They had lovely music playing and the whole place was lit up!  They also have a huge fireplace outside with blankets at each table if you want to enjoy a beverage by the fire. 

The Grub:

The food was good!  I had the Salmon Piccata and risotto.  The risotto was some of the best I’ve had and I tend to be pretty picky about risotto.  Salmon was cooked nicely and had a great taste. 

My only real complaint about the menu here is the wine.  I didn’t think they had great choices, but I’m sure you could bring your own for a corking fee if it really bothered you.

The Service:

Great service.  Our guy was kind of new so he had to go ask for a few answers, but at least he asked and didn’t just make something up!  He was super nice and prompt.

The Scratch (Per Person):

61+ (if you have a couple drinks)

The Duds:

They’ll take you however, but most dress up a little. I wore a nice pair of jeans with a long sweater and nice shoes. My husband wore jeans with a nice sweater and dress shoes as well. 

Take Note:

This place is in the same building as a gas station, but you don’t have a door between the two.  Oddly, also, the entrance for this restaurant is at the back, so walk all the way around the porch to find back door.
