valentines week

friartucks — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:16:32 +0000

sorry valentines day is full, but days surrounding it are empty and this weekend we have Loraine Gervias and Steve Wall both nights, what can be better?

Carissa’s birthday is the 15th…she is in Portland (25 yrs old) working for Southern Wine and Spirits. Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay and Madrona Cab Franc are on the board this week. California Sea Bass and Pork Tenderloin are specials. The winter is pretty and mild.

winter in Nevada City

Evidently we are not having winter in Nevada City this year. Continued clear and sunny. George Souza on the stage this weekend. New fish this week, California Sea Bass, (“best bet” Monterey Bay Aquarium…not the endangered stuff).

Valentines Day getting full, think about the day before or the day after. Love knows no time but becomes a Valentine if you get your sweetie in the door and have the nice food wine and music.

rain, rain, rain

It is time for rain. Don’t worry, Friar Tuck’s is WARM. Four heat systems keep it warm, even in the windows (they have their own system). Warmest place is table #16 right IN the window. Coldest place, the end of the bar near the door, sorry, we are working on it. But it is the best seat for watching the action. So.

Fresh Bass from Hawaii today (Fed-Ex overnight) George Souza tonight, Dream and the Dreamer Sat (from Tahoe) they are a hoot. Girton on Sunday. Morgan’s new Santa Lucia Chardonnay on the board along with the last of Naughty Boy Pinot from Potter Valley.

John looks great with his new hair cut. Tell him.

cold tuesday

friartucks — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:01:16 +0000

yes it is cold except at Friar Tuck’s where 4 big heating systems keep the place toasty, even in the windows since they have their own system.

Taco Tuesday is BBQ Beef Tacos and Chipotle Clam Chowder, George on the stage today, Kelly Fleming Wed. John Girton Thurs, George again on Friday and Dream and the Dreamer from Tahoe this Saturday. With the MLT holiday our Hawaiian Sea Bass will come Wed., but lots of other stuff came today.

New on the wine board= Morgan Chardonnay and more Frank Family Zin has arrived.

monday burgers

friartucks — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:57:46 +0000

Many people know about our highly copied taco Tuesdays, but did you know, some time back, Chef Brian started “Burger Mondays”. He’s got all kinds of books of burgers! Today, the 16th, he is doing a Pastrami/sourcrout burger special with cheese. It has been a big hit and though I do not like souercraut (or however it is spelt) Rona thinks it is great. We have a new line on some great mid-west Kansas beef for the burger.

Also, Monday’s have been blessed with Dave and Alice on the stage playing the very best from 1968 harmonies.

Following the very busy Film Festival weekend, should be a great weak to warm up in our cozy restaurant.

film festival weekend

friartucks — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 01:18:13 +0000

usually really cold and rainy in Jan…now just cold

told you about the curtains to block the doors from the cold…they are on the way, be patient. Kelly Feming runs the stage this week Wed the 11th and both Friday and Saturday. With our visitors for the film festival, I’m know they will leave knowing what we know…our local talent is A+.

Hawaii just delivered #1 (sashimi quality) Ahi and is blackened and seared and if you like prime rib, we are serving Pork Ribeye’s bone in just like a Rib Eye Beef Steak but Pork…cool

Enjoy the very interesting film festival.

end of holidays

The hectic time draws down and relaxing nights return. Join us in Jan. the best time of the year. Always warm and cozy. Oh, and we have new curtains comming blocking the cold doors next week.

Christmas Week

friartucks — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:51:30 +0000

We are open Dec 23, and, as of a 38 year tradition, Friar Tuck’s will close Christmas Eve and Day so staff can be with their families. We know there have been many requests that we are sorry to no fulfill. We hope you enjoy Christmas with your family.

We will be open Christmas week…Monday on… Open New Year’s Eve and day. Specials are from Hawaii: Ahi (#1 sashimi grade Yellow Fin Tuna) done sort of sushi style along with classic dishes: Chicken Cordon Bleu and Beef Wellington.

On New Years Eve this year, we have John Girton playing the first half of the night, followed by Kelly Fleming, so if you have later plans, you get great live music all night.

On the wine specials we have Mer Soilet Chardonnay from Caymus and a great Fitch Mt. Alexander Valley Cabernet. If you need reservations for yourselves or your family call 265-9093

If you need some holiday wine, remember, we beat Cosco, BevMo, you name it, every day by a lot. Try Rombauer Cabernet at BevMo on sale for @$40…we are at $25 because we are a restaurant, have been around a long time, and get deals no one else does
