Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rocklin

This is our 11th year, an annual tradition for my wife and I. It couldn’t have been a more perfect night. First class, 5 stars for the service from Dillon. He was extremely attentive, and we observed this of him with all his tables. It was just world class. By the way, the food was excellent too, a filet, lobster tails, salads and crab cakes. Highly recommend the espresso martini and vanilla bean crème brûlée as well. Our favorite part of the entire experience was Dillon. Thanks for an amazing evening!!!

Valentine’s Day dinner. 615 reservations. Arrived at 545 to have a drink in the bar first. Checked in was told they could seat us in the area we selected but we were early so needed to wait. Bar was flooded with patrons but the hostess checked and a table was just getting cleaned so we got our requested table at 600. Jennifer was prompt with our waters and drinks. She was super busy but provided excellent service. The Special menu was a little pricey but the Lobster was great as was the prime rib. Polished it off with Strawberry shortcake for dessert. Jennifer was helpful with aperitif drink selection and quick to clear table of empty plates. Overall probably the best dinner experience we’ve had in quite awhile. Our compliments to the entire staff. Thanks.

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, and Exceptional Customer Service !

My husband took me to PF Chang’s for my birthday dinner. It was so fun and delicious. We had a delightful server named Destiny. She was great, checked on us often. I started with their new February cocktail, the Cherry Blossom Martini. It was such a pretty pink color and so yummy. Gin, elderflower, strawberry, pineapple and lemon with 2 cherries. Then we shared an appetizer of Chang’s famous Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The flavor of the ground chicken with onions, water chestnuts and secret sauces is so good. Next we shared pork egg rolls which were also delicious. We each chose an entree - he chose Crispy Honey Shrimp. They were coated with a puffy batter, tangy honey sauce and served on fried rice noodles. The shrimp were so tender - really good. I chose Chang’s Spicy Chicken - lightly battered bite-sized pieces with a sweet spicy chili sauce. I was in heaven, it was so good. We had some white rice too. Then for dessert, I ordered The Great Wall of Chocolate - 6 layers of chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and semisweet chocolate chips. And Destiny served it with an empty wine bottle with a small firework flare attached. It was so cute! By then, we were so satisfyingly full, we only ate a third of it. We took the rest of the cake home ( we’d finished the rest of our dinner), and vowed to come back.

Table next to us was outrageously loud so that was annoying. The pasta shrimp lobster dish was pretty good but lobster had a slight fishy taste and was all cut up in the dish instead of what was pictured, the whole lobster tail. Servers were excellent!
