Outer Aisle

Mediocre. Burger bar in angels and mels in jackson have by far better burgers and food. I will not return. Service was horrible and the prices are sky high.

I just had an amazing dinner with my mom. We started with the chef salad with gorgonzola cheese, pears, garbanzo beans, bacon and balsamic vinnaigrette. We were suprised with the special of the evening, seared scallops over red rice with fennel, very fresh and the scallops were cooked perfectly, simply delicious! Next we both chose the wild caught salmon, cooked per order, (wich we both prefer mid rare), in a light beurre blanc. Every component of each dish was portrayed beautifully and full of flavor. I didn’t have to add salt (wich says a lot for me)
Great local wine selection as well. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, worth getting off of main street for a breather.
I will definitely go back to try the upcoming changes I hear they will be making to the menu!

My family really enjoyed our dinner here. They were super friendly and the food was amazing. We all ended up getting the braised beef (which was the special that night) and the kale on the side was the BEST kale I’ve ever had. EVER. Amazing. I didn’t know kale could be that delicious. I could eat it every day!

Great place, celebrated Bithday brunch and they even provided a moist almond celebration cake with candles.
super tasty rueben, burger and sweet potato fries… yumm. Several amazing beers on tap, too. Service very good. And, a special hotttt sauce.

We just found out new favorite place to eat. Food, service and ambience are just super.

If you have not been to The Outer Aisle yet you are missing an incredible dining experience! This is fresh, wholesome, farm-​to-​table dining at its best! Can’t wait to go back again…

If you have the opportunity I highly recommend the Wine-​Makers Dinners. We attended the Vina Moda night and it was an exceptional dining experience. Gold and Double Gold wines paired with the freshest of farm grown ingredients. Salad with butter lettuce, spinach, Point Reyes Blue cheese and pears with Grenache. Handmade pasta with gourmet mushrooms and truffle oil paired with Syrah. Wagyu beef cooked perfectly rare. Mascapone potatoes and vegetables, with Barbera and Cabernet. Coconut cake for dessert. Coffee and tea. Every course was amazing. The pasta took us back to Italy! More good news — Angelo, of Angelo’s Steakhouse reputation, is now cooking for Outer Aisle.

We are local and have always wanted to try them for breakfast. We went on Valentine’s Day and the service was horrible. The waitress took the order from 3 other people that came in after us. My husband had to go ask to get out order taken. We almost walked out… It took 45 min to get eggs. The eggs were over cooked and had no flavor to the eggs Benedict. We will not be coming back, sad to see a local place have such bad service.

I get Outer Aisle’s veggie box so I was happy to try their restaurant. I was a bit surprised there wasn’t more vegetarian options on the menu given they grow the veggies. We ordered the one vegetarian dinner they offered and a cup of their vegetarian soup. All of the food was very flavorful, nice layering of flavors. I would have given them five stars, but I felt that the quantity of food was a bit light for the price. ($ 17 for the veg dinner) Perhaps that’s not the case when ordering a meat dish, but on the veg dish, I had one polenta square, a scoop of the beans and sauteed swiss chard. It was all very very good, just not a lot of it.

Artisan style farm-​to-​table sandwiches just off Main Street — yes please!
My wife and I ordered the Fried Chicken sandwich and the Rueben sandwich. Both were absolutely fantastic — simple in appearance, but absolutely bursting with rich handmade flavor.
Great selection of local wines. Plus craft beers and rotating Kombucha on tap! Staff was super friendly and happy to make recommendations. You get what you pay for — sandwiches were $ 14 each. You will leave satisfied, but not stuffed.

Met a friend here for lunch the other day. My visit was long overdue, as I’ve wanted to try this place for some time now.
Tessi was our server and she was terrific. Warm welcome, unforgettable smile, plenty of suggestions and a sampling of beer.
We had the following:
Stout beers. Delicious!
Wagyu burgers with avocado and bacon on a home baked bun. Although the burgers were very good, they were really small to the point of hiding inside the bun. Now I like my fries well done, but these were beyond well done, to the point of almost being burnt. They were still yummy, but it would have been nice to have more than just a dozen of these little guys on my plate.
Dessert consisted of an almond flour brownie a la mode. This too was yummy, but nothing memorable and quite skimpy as well.
Overall our meal was good, but when you drop $ 70.00 plus a 20% tip, well, it doesn’t leave the best taste in your mouth, especially considering how skimpy the portions were. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not an «all you can eat» kind of guy, but I like to feel that I’m getting value for my munching and sipping dollars.
I’ll definitely come back and try it out again, to see if maybe there’s a less skimpy with the food person cooking up vittles in the kitchen next time.
Good times in Calico!

This place is amazing! The food is delicious! Fresh made and all organic! We had the burgers and sweet potato fries! Oh my gosh! The flavor was outstanding! They use a local bakery for their bread and it was delicious also! The service is great, the atmosphere is relaxing and there isn’t a bunch of kitchen noise. Perfect for a date night!

Delicious meal. Very fresh and flavorful. Great vegan options (I recommend the vegetable lovers dish). The polenta was also exceptional. Great and friendly staff. Will return!

I stopped by here with a friend of mine who I owed lunch and we were both treated to an amazing meal. Having recently bought a cabin in Arnold, I’m so glad Murphys is right down the street, a great City with excellent restaurants like this one to enjoy.
Everything was fresh and delicious, we will be back for more.

The restaurant was very clean and elegant. The service was excellent and waitstaff was nice. The food was cooked fresh from their garden.

I have been to Outer Aisle several times since it opened, and the place still impresses. Even the locals love this place, so they are doing something good just off Highway 4 in Murphys. Their restaurant is right next to Murphys Suites right as you enter the town heading up from the Valley. Their focus is on New American food using local and natural ingredients.
On my recent trip, my friend and I both had the Waygu Burger. The kitchen prepared the burger exactly to medium rare which let the flavor of the beef really shine. I opted for the fries which was a massive portion served with a sweet ketchup which was a little off. You can get a side salad instead which is probably a healthier option.
They have wine and beer and even a good kombucha selection. I am not a big fan of the paper straws which tend to get soft quickly, but I appreciate the effort for natural and sustainable products. Staff was friendly and quick to deliver the tasty food and drinks.
Outer Aisle should be a stop for visitors and locals looking for something classic with a modern twist.

My fiancé and I stopped in here for lunch for the simple reason that it was right next to our hotel. The food was pretty good, I especially enjoyed the ranch… Yes, that’s right, the ranch! It was different at first, with a subtle dill taste… I ended up loving it! The fries, salad, and sandwiches were very yummy as well! My fiancé ordered a coke and was brought a very nicely chilled bottle of a brand of soda I had never heard of– it was made with real sugar and had almost a cream soda-​y taste… We both loved it! My tea that I ordered had an odd flavor and I stuck to sipping on my fiancées soda. The service was okay, our food seemed like it took a long time– but that could have been because we had just spent the last three hours climbing through California Caverns! Also, with that being said, you may want to avoid going into this place unless you are nicely dressed… Unfortunately, we got some disproving looks from staff and I felt as though they were talking about us amongst theirselves. For that reason, I am withholding my fifth star.

Horrible experience. Service was probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. No attention to table from staff, never got refill on drink, they never checked to see if our food/​order was correct, had to wait and wait for check, etc. The food wasnt good at all. But even more than that, the portion was ridiculously small for the price. If an entrée costs $ 18, I shouldn’t feel like I’ve only had a small appetizer when finished! I would not recommend and would give 0 stars if possible.

Fresh food… Amazing flavors… Wonderful friendly service… What more could you ask for?

Delicious farm-​to-​table restaurant on Highway 4. The ingredients are fresh and the selection is good. The kitchen serves some misses — our salad was tragically overdressed, drowning out the flavors of high-​quality ingredients — but in general you’ll do fine because the raw materials are so good.
That said, this spot doesn’t hold a candle to the Soldier’s Daughter up the road in Arnold, if you can catch during a time when it’s open.
