We stopped by **Sierra Tavern** during happy hour and honestly had a great time—exactly the kind of experience that makes you say, *“Yep, we’ll be back.”*
We started with the **Burnt Pepperoni**—tomato sauce, mozzarella, and red chiles. It leaned a bit on the greasy side, but in a very intentional, indulgent way. Bold, flavorful, and absolutely worth it, especially paired with a drink.
The real standout, though, was the **Sea Bass Milanese** with lemon caper aioli—spectacular. Perfectly crisp on the outside, tender and flaky inside, and that aioli brought everything together with just the right balance of brightness and richness. It’s the kind of dish that quietly steals the show.
We also tried the **Mini Tavern Burger** with truffle aioli, balsamic caramelized onions, arugula, and fontina—solid, satisfying, and well-balanced. Small but mighty, and packed with flavor.
Drinks were on point too. The **Espresso Martini** (vanilla vodka, Kahlúa, espresso) was smooth, not overly sweet, and dangerously easy to drink—especially at **$9**. The **Strawberry Spritz** (vodka, strawberry, lemon, brut) was light, refreshing, and equally delicious.
We sat at the bar, the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe was relaxed and enjoyable. A great happy hour spot and definitely a place we’ll be returning to.
pizza and pesto pasta were also great — however the pesto pasta was a bit on the saltier side. Overall service was great — we were in a bit of a rush, but they were very accommodating! Unfortunately we weren’t able to get seats inside because we didn’t get a reservation so we sat outside near the street, but it was nice that there were heated lamps.
This is wrong and subtracted from the night for me.
I wouldn’t recommend Restaurant Week as the portion sizes were very small… especially if you ordered the “normal” portions it only being around $5 more.
