TENAYA CREEK RESTAURANT & BREWERY
Restaurant Review
Reviewed: 2/12/00

Another local microbrewery! Tenaya Creek Restaurant & Brewery is a delightful place for a nice afternoon meal or a place to meet after work. The diverse menu offers several choices from pastas and pizzas to salads and sandwiches. Try some great some delectable appetizers like Bruchetta or Tenaya Creek Steamers before you decide on one of their select dinner entrees. The size of the salads and sandwiches will astound you. But what was most interesting was the flavor combinations. Grilled Portabella mushroom sandwich with roasted red peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, topped with mozzarella on an herbed focaccia bread. Definitely yummy!

They give the traditional chicken wings a little zing by cooking them in your choice of teriyaki or pale ale bbq sauce. They also have a few U.S.D.A. buffalo selections.

Let's not forget the brewery, though. The Tenaya 5-Shooter is a tasting of all their handcrafted brews. Or those on the non-alcohol side, down a glass of frothy homemade root beer. They even have Tenaya Brew To Go.

The atmosphere is light and airy. The food is very good. The prices are moderate. The service could be better. It was slow in ordering but even slower coming out of the kitchen. Private rooms are available for small parties.
