   Friar tucks used to be our favorite place. Although service was excellent, and food was tasty, the menu has changed too much, to where we aren't happy with options. They got rid of or favorite appetizer, Salmon carpacio, and dinner, tempura prawns. They do have good steaks on the menu, but no seafood pasta, or any pasta. The menu is very limited in our opinion. We loved ordering and eating in the bar for the music previously, best around. Now we struggle finding anyone we like. Cello joe plays there a lot, he was playing when we were eating in the dining room on a Friday night. He needs to go. I was so distracted by his horrible sound, I couldn't enjoy dinner. Just awful. Sorry to say, we aren't regulars anymore. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

   It was a birthday celebration and this was the perfect spot. The food is very upscale and it is a great ambiance. Even the owner visited our table to make sure we were 100% satisfied. What a great experience. We will return soon.

   It was my anniversary. They treated us so great! The special was Lazagna. Very good! I am not sure what was going on in the bar music wise, but it sounded like bad keroke. We got quite a giggle about it. Was glad when they went on a break. The pumpkin martini was really good!

   This is a brilliant restaurant in the heart of the iconic Nevada City District. The food is always innovative and excellent. The service is very good. It is a great place if you want a superb meal in a quaint location.

   Had the salmon, excellent, and the others had the veggie lasagne,very good. The live music in the bar area gave a good vibe and wasn’t too loud. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Great drinks too!

   What an excellent restaurant. It was an outstanding dining experience. The food was spectacular, and the service was superb. Owner, Ken, is always there to greet and welcome you. You cannot go wrong here. Also experience Ethan who is always there to make sure it is an extraordinary experience.

    Friar Tuck's is a wonderful local restaurant for us, and the first place we think of when we want to go out for an occasion. They decor is varied enough that it feels like there are separate "areas" within the restaurant, and the bar conveniently does not intrude in any way. They've had live music each time we've been there, and the food is always delicious. You won't go hungry!
