    Best restaurant in Sacramento! The food is delicious and the decor is beautiful. The earl grey gin sour and risky business cocktails were amazing. Devon's service was exceptional and Miguel always kept our waters full. Definitely try the blueberry lemon tiramisu and the pork chop!

    I always search for new places. This was a home run and Devin our waiter was awesome. Offered suggestions that knocked out at the park. It was our anniversary and they made it. Super awesome for us. You should go there!

    It was my husband’s and I first time coming. We decided to try it for our anniversary. They set up our table with flowers and a Happy Anniversary sign, which I got to take home! Jacob our server was amazing, very attentive and went the extra mile to make sure we had a lovely evening. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails were delicious as well. We will come back for sure!

    Went with girlfriends. The food was okay. We all tasted each other’s order. But definitely not worth the price. My short rib was a bit salty. But fall off the bone meat. The pork chop was a bit dry. The Sole was so so. Our server was attentive but takes so long to come and refill our drinks. The ambience was bleh. Cafeteria chairs/booth. I especially didn’t like the row seats/tables. Bottom line I had better ones for the price.

    We’re not sure why but our order took a very long time to get to us which meant we were rushed at the end in order to get to an 8:00 show. Our reservation was for 6:15 and we arrived early. That would be our only negative. The food was great and our waiter did a very nice job.
