The food and drinks were excellent, and the service was first rate. Our server even offered us a dessert that was not on the menu, and it was delicious!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner at Morton’s the Steakhouse. Squash soup, harvest salad, turkey, stuffing, scoop of dressing, best cranberry sauce we’ve ever had (and we are not big fans of cranberry sauce but this was delicious), mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert was a pumpkin cheesecake that did not scream pumpkin. So delightful! Service was excellent. Looking forward to next Thanksgiving with the hopes they offer it again. We would definitely be there!

 Thanksgiving dinner with hubby, daughter and her boyfriend. We had a fabulous time. Ambience was casual as always. We always enjoy the decor. Food was amazing. For starters my family had their awesome bread and butter. I had the Caesar salad no croutons. We shared the oyster appetizer, which was fresh tasting. For the main entrée I had the lamb, cooked to perfection. The men had the filet mignon, Chef choice. My daughter had the New York steak. For dessert I had crème brûlée, secret item not on menu. It was not too sweet with touch of fruit. Hubby enjoyed pecan pie. Overall, we had a great time.

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

I took my best friend to lunch since the Wells Fargo Bank building entry was all decorated for Christmas and she hadn’t been to Il Fornaio at this location in downtown Sacramento before. I had made reservations and the hostess was so personable and seated us in the main dining area which I had requested. Our waiter was extremely nice and explained the specials for the day. He gave us some time to decide and then took our order of Caesar Salad and Lasagna. The lasagna is one of my families all time favorites. The ambience I think is the best in Sacramento, the service is impeccable and you can’t go wrong with any of the selections.
