Everyone at our table was enjoying everything. Looking forward to a return visit. Bring your hunger - portions are generous. My apartment is far from here, so I can't visit often.

Loved this place. Staff was great, food was great, and beer selection was nice. One of the few places that had a sour beer on tap. Tried to go here tonight but saw this sign. Such a bummer but can't wait to see what they come up with!

Just 4 stars. It might get 5 stars if they drained the cheese curds better... I think their oil was a bit too cold. The cheese curds plate was pretty oily and the fish was a little bit dark. The fries were perfect and their iced tea was super fresh. The tri tip was perfect to me, but my kiddo thought it was too well done. I expect a little more attention to detail in a place that claims to be a more upscale casual restaurant. I will be back to give a second shot for sure.

I was so excited to try this restaurant and we arrived at about 9:10 and they close at 10:00 so the entire course of our meal our server was more focused on her side work than serving her tables. Our food was over cooked but our server never asked and we had to ask the hostess for our bill half an hour later. For the price, it is very much over rated and we will not be back.

A nice little place in Downtown Clovis that you can pop in anytime and have a good drink and grab a bite to eat. We had some nachos that were unique and some good beers. The owner/manager was very engaging and made it a dining experience.

We had brunch here yesterday for Father's Day. This was our second time. The first time was for a dinner/Birthday Party a friend was hosting here. The service was terrific. Our server, Andy, was awesome. He has a great personality and made the experience very enjoyable. The food was great. Everyone loved it and our 6 burgers came out cooked to order. They have a nice selection of beer and a full bar which is not always easy to find. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite, whether it be for lunch or dinner. Thanks Andy!

Good appetizers, great drinks. Friendly staff, service was a little slow, but they we're really busy. Live entertainment was good too.

On a warm Saturday afternoon we stop in to the Bottleneck and we were greeted right away. There are so many appetizers that sounded delicious we made it an appetizer lunch date. We start with the stuffed mushrooms a nice portion to share between two. The pork street tacos were very good and surprisingly light. They came in three. We then had the mac n cheese balls that were very delicious and the sauce was so good! The mushrooms and cheese balls are garnished with greens that give it a nice spring flavor. Service was pleasant and suggested the pork street tacos. Ambiance is causal a good lunch spot and I wouldn't mind hanging out in the evening. One thing they did not have is a selection of desserts so my husband was bummed about that. Yes we will come back. A four star for now because we only had appetizers next time I'll try a meal.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. We had a nice bottle of wine and the cheese plate- yum!

Friendly atmosphere, cold beer, and the food is delish, say hi to my mija Chef Lil
Stopped by here the other day. I love that there's so many new restaurants that have opened in Dwntwn Clovis. The menu here was pretty simple but good. We ordered the tri-tip sandwiches. I think they were okay at best. I loved the garlic aioli sauce on them but I think the meat was a little tough. I think the slices should be thinner and I wasn't really a fan of the bread. But we'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Nice place with great food. I ordered a half tri tip sandwich with fries and it was perfect. It's hard to find places that make a good tri tip sandwich but they nailed it. The half portion was just enough for lunch. I'll be going back.

Five stars for my lunch visit today. Inviting and warm atmosphere offers rotating beers on taps with a simple, yet perfect menu. They even have vegan, veggie and gluten free options. I opted for a mango IPA and veggie burger with fries - fresh and filling. I definitely recommend a visit to the Bottleneck Bistro!

Well, big disappointment! Music was to loud allowing to sit on the patio that's really shy on heaters...froze! Burgers are ok..not cooked to order, dry bun, asked for mayo and mustard finally had to get up and get it. Nothing to write home about.. Suggest better if acoustic guitar and pick up the pace on the burger game.. Not a good enough experience for a return. Thanks

Love this place! I've been here a few times and have tried some menu items like the tri-tip sandwich, the BLT and the fries are to die for! Great atmosphere and the staff has been super nice. They host some special events and have some great specials on the menu. They even have a patio for outside dining and when the weather is warm you can bring your dog to sit outside.
