Best Authentic Restaurants in Arden Fair

We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We were celebrating my 8 year old’s birthday and our waitress was amazing! So attentive and sweet and extra attention paid to the birthday girl. The food was delicious as always and the Christmas decorations added to the beautiful ambience.

We LOVE this restaurant within The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection. The ingredients are all fresh and well prepared and presented. Very tasty food. Excellent service!!! Are two brunches here. Wow! How to make a choice. Something for everyone. The Breakfast Burger is to die for. Smoked chicken hash- oh yeah!! Love the modern industrial using antiques but warm colors and feels cozy. The Grange is our “go to” Sacramento restaurant whether we are staying at The Citizen or hot.

The food here is so good! We stopped in before heading to see the nutcracker and they timed everything perfectly for us to get to the show on time. The food was outstanding, the drinks were also very good (they even offered to make a mock tail for a family member). We sat next to a larger party but it wasn’t loud for us. Our waiter was incredible, super attentive and answered all our questions. I know some of the reviews on here say that the service can be “questionable” but our experience with everyone working at the restaurant was great! Will definitely be back.

We had 4 in our group. Two of us ordered the Salmon bowl which we have had several times in the past. As usual, it was delicious. Our two guests were pleased with the tacos and pork but after they saw our salmon bowl, they wished they had ordered it instead. Our servers were exceptional, friendly and polite.

We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.
