Best Restaurants for Groups in Rio Linda

This was our first dinner at The Firehouse and we'll be back for more,.....lots more! the food was the best of American cuisine, perfectly seasoned, ample servings, beautiful to behold, served with flare and attention to detail. and, the menu has something for everyone. The service was top notch, but not stuffy in the least. Nothing precious here. Rather, if harkens back to the heyday of white tablecloth dining, but with the updated appeal of a more casual and relaxed, though upscale, ambience and engaging service ethic. The whole place felt like a very special party at which every single person was having a great time and really enjoying themselves. We left feeling very well taken care of and pleasantly full and satisfied. .....also have to mention that there were several small details that added to the overall experience; things like a genuinely charming maitre d'hotel, an amuse -bouche, and Randy, our terrific waitperson, bringing me two complementary wine tastes to make a choice for a glass of wine to go with my duck Entree, a dollop of pate on the prime rib, and more. What a night!

We had an amazing time. Food, Service, and atmosphere were perfect. In fact, we had such a great time, we almost missed our Candlelight Concert. Our server took note of our time during seating and made sure we were closed out in time.

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.

I went here for lunch and it was an excellent meal at a reasonable price. I had the tomato bisque which was fabulous, then was completely enthralled with the ahi tuna salad. I was totally full and happy with my meal and the entire experience. Service was quick and attentive (even though the place was very busy with the holiday events) but not intrusive.

Fantastic service for our party of 12. We sat outside, a bit chilly but they brought heaters to keep us warm. Food was excellent and accurate as ordered. The noise level inside and crowd was overwhelming and we wouldn’t have stayed if we had to sit inside. The crowds were overly packed in- they should limit how many are seated or allowed to stand around the bar. We couldn’t get through to use the restrooms even and it was deafening when walking through the restaurant. Just note that Saturday nights are over the top with noise and people!
