Yard House...A Roseville Gem $$$

Last night we ate at the Yard House. I know, you're thinking "You're blogging about a chain restaurant?" I know...it's still new to the area and we don't have any others around town so it doesn't count yet. One of our goals with this blog is to not eat at chain restaurants. We want to highlight the unique food places around town. The Yard House is located at the Fountains in Roseville. The Foutains is a fabulous place to find good food, desserts, shopping and more. With the warmer weather now here, they have Friday Night Fairs, car shows, crafts and every Tuesday they have a farmer's market. What a great place to go.

The Yard House is THE place to go for beer. They boast over 128 beers on tap! Their food is no slouch either. I caution you, this place can add up fast. The appetizers are fantastic as are the main courses. I have not had dessert here, but if it's anything like their food, I can imagine it's pretty darn good. http://www.yardhouse.com/Default.aspx 

Here is a shot of the bar. That is a LOT of taps. They

also make excellent mixed drinks too if you are not

feeling a beer.

This shot is of Pear Cider ($6.50) and Leinenkugel ($6.25)

Roasted Tomato and Garlic Hummus (not on the menu,

at least on their website) is around $7. I didn't pay for this

one so I can't tell you for sure.

This is the Ahi Crunchi salad. It was amazing! Slightly

spicy, but super Delicious. ($15.95)

Grilled Pastrami Sandwich with string fries ($10.95)

Dennis had this and said it was absolutely fabulous. Packed

with lots of flavor.

So with the tip, our dinner was $50. That was for 2 beers, seared ahi salad and a pastrami sandwich. Kind of spendy, but it was very delicious. It's also an experience. It is really something to see all beers on tap. The one draw back to this place is it's kind of loud. But, the service is good, the food is amazing and all the beers! Definitely worth the try and I will go back.

The Place...A New Roseville Find $$

Hi, my name is Cori and my husband is Dennis. We love finding new and fabulous places to eat. We love food and we love eating food. So this blog is dedicated to that love. This is our first post. I am so excited. So with that said, I introduce to you our first find...

Tonight, and every Tuesday in May, June and July, Roseville hosts the Tuesday Night Market. This market boasts hot rods, good eats and shopping, plus people watching. Well, this Tuesday night, Dennis and I ventured out to scope out the cars and see what we could find for dinner. As we meandered past the food vendors, we spotted The Place. I have seen this place as I have driven past it on my way to where ever. It was under construction for a good while and then...it opened.

The Place, if you couldn't tell from their logo is an Italian restaurant. The restaurant is nestled amongst quaint shops on Vernon Street. The inside of The Place reminds me of a wine cellar. The menu ranges from pizza, calzones to traditional pasta dishes with a modern twist. The Place makes their own bread, has a full bar and their kitchen is in view of the public so you can witness the magic that happens here. Their pizzas are wood fired in an oven and are available all day until the fresh dough runs out. Here is their website for more information! http://www.thatlittleitalianplace.com/thatlittleitalianplace.com/ThePlace.html

We began our our meal with some ice tea ($2). Generic, I know, but this tea was REALLY good! Plus I loved what they did with the lemons! Look at the cute little cup for the sugar!

 Lemon wedge had designs cut into it!

We began our meal with Bruschetta bandiera ($7) and my goodness

this was so fabulous! Fresh avocado, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil

and of course, cheese! It was toasted to perfection! Seriously, the best

bruschetta I have ever had! And we had it in Italy too!

 Savor the goodness!

For dinner, we ordered the Salsciccia ($15), a pizza dish.

Thin crust pizza with Italian sausage, sweet caramelized

onions, garlic chili oil. It was perfect to share.

And last, but certainly not least, we had dessert...tiramisu ($7).

There are no words to describe how amazing this dish was.

Fluffy, light, creamy, chocolaty. Need I say more?

The price...I know you're thinking...wow! Expensive dinner. Two ice teas, an appetizer, a pizza and a dessert: $33. The Place is a great place to go on a date and not break the bank. I will definitely be back!
