Petra Modern Mediterranean — Restaurant in Nevada City

Petra, Petra, Petra! What is not to love? Amazing mix n' match options, a very convenient place for those with sensitivities and strong preferences. Flavorful, fresh food. The best spanakopita I've tasted so far, on this side of the Yuba. A very cozy sweet patio, which catches the California sun just right. Come here for a quick, convenient, cafeteria-style meal. Check out the gallery next door, Seven Stars, for a taste of Nevada City's vibrant arts!

Critiques: Don't come here for coffee: it is, at the time of this review, nothing special. Check out Outer Haven for incredible coffee, instead....and come here for lunch or dinner!

The employee serving us couldn't have cared less, moving at a snail's pace and never once smiling let alone making a constructive suggestion. The ingredients were, frankly, boring, except for the pickled onions that were gross (think of a flavor akin to the smell of old athletic shoes). And atmosphere? There was none. The place was nearly empty in the middle of their 11am to 5pm open hours on a beautiful spring...
