We come up to Nevada City for one thing, fondue dinner at Friar Tuck’s. So imagine our surprise when we got seated and looked at the menu and while the cheese fondue was still available, dinner fondue was no longer on the menu. Our server told us it was because of a new California law, which I know is incorrect because The Melting Pot is still open and serving dinner fondue in Sacramento. We ordered steak and pasta and it was fine, but nothing super special to write home about. We’ve had our last meal at Friar Tuck’s. :-(
Business response:
Hi Eric, We understand that people are disappointed we had to remove the hot oil fondue, but it’s too risky to serve without the right setup. The Melting Pot can offer it because they have custom electric tables. We serve hot fondue on a small stand heated by a candle, and without an electric table, we’d need to use marine fuel, which is now banned in California. Other fuels we tested couldn’t keep the oil hot enough, and the alternatives that could are too costly to be viable. Removing the hot oil fondue wasn’t our choice; ... read more

First time diners at Friar Tuck's. Visiting from out of town for wife's birthday. Expected an exceptional experience. The food and atmosphere were very nice. Live music enhanced the vibe. The service fell far short of what should be reasonably expected from a restaurant of this caliber. Extended wait time just to order food despite the restaurant being less than half full on a Sunday evening. Greater disappointment when other diners who were seated 20 minutes after us were served their meals before we received our meals. Aft... read more
Great atmosphere inside the restaurant and staff was great! The live music was a big plus!
Great atmosphere, amount of food was less than expected
The atmosphere was excellent, and the food was delicious. I had the lamb, and my wife had the steak. Each and every bite on the plate did not disappoint to include the vegetables and especially the mashed potatoes. The price may be high for some people, but you definitely get what you pay for with this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and prompt and the live band played great music for the environment. We also had a nice conversation with one of the owners who was pleasant to speak with regarding the history of the bu... read more
