I enjoyed Red Tavern. I had grilled beef tips and garlic mashed potatoes, which were delicious, although the potatoes had a bit of dryness on top suggesting that they were sitting for a little while.

First time we went it was worth four stars and had to eat at the bar. Owner was there and meal was actually 5-Stars but the bar venue cost them a star. Now...the second time we went the owner was not there. We got a table but in all fairness the food sucked. We could have got the same fare... more

I went with my girlfriend for a date and had an amazing time. Food was high above my expectations, cocktails were awesome. The wine the server recommended paired perfect, and after dessert they offered us smores on the patio! So romantic and nostalgic at the same time. I’m coming back when its warm again to play bocce ball!! more

The Red Tavern pairs unique gourmet food with excellent service and a great selection of wines. It is by far the best fine dining in Chico. more

The Red Tavern food is amazing, especially the duck , and the service was well above par. Good ambience and a sweet Bocce ball court in the back makes this place my favorite in town. more

Great Bocce court; interesting food, although one course (out of 3) usually ends up letting me down. more
