   The best place in the entire Sacramento area for a delicious upscale meal at a reasonable price. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

   Celebrated our 19th Anniversary dinner here and cannot express enough how amazing our experience was. From the cordial greetings from the beautiful hostess upon opening, the service (Sean/Shawn- sorry on not knowing which way you spell it) the support wait team to the chefs… truly a memorable time! Personalized touches (our menu special made for US) of the menu, and the hostess capturing a special photo as well. That was great…but the FOOD! Yes holy heck the food! Hubby had the smoked prime rib- which was cooked amazingly! The flavor was to die for!!! We will now spend many Sundays here just for that! I had the Salmon which was equally delicious. Oh shoot wait- how dare I skip past our appetizers- the deviled eggs with the greens- I must learn how to make this at home! And also had the crab cakes which I read were highly recommended and I concur! The ambiance was amazing- quiet and intimate. Been before in Mothers Day and could barely hear the person next to me- but tonight was perfect! I cannot thank the team at Shelton Inn for a better night out in our amazing town of Elk Grove/Sheldon/Wilton. A definite recommendation to anyone spending a special occasion or just to go for a relaxing diner in the bar area!

   The Sheldon Inn exceeded all my expectations. The calamari was incredibly tender and fresh, straight from Monterey Bay, and the steak was so perfectly cooked that it melted in my mouth. The staff provided impeccable service, demonstrating top-tier etiquette and attentiveness. Our waiter, Ron, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and attentive without being intrusive. One of the highlights of the evening was the six-piece dessert tray they bring to your table, allowing you to see each dessert before making a choice—it’s a fantastic touch that makes the experience even more special. This is, without a doubt, the best restaurant I have ever been to—even surpassing our longtime favorite, The Veranda in Las Vegas. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, The Sheldon Inn is the place to go! On Sunday I went to brunch. Here is that review. We had an amazing brunch experience at The Sheldon Inn! Our waitress, Jada, was phenomenal—attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made our visit special. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. I would love to see chilaquiles added to the menu; after tasting how incredible everything else was, I can only imagine how great they would make that dish! Highly recommend this spot for a fantastic brunch. We’ll definitely be back!

   Yes, the restaurant was busy, but that shouldn’t excuse the mix-up that occurred. My friend ordered extra vegetables and no mashed potatoes with her medium rare roast beef. I ordered my roast beef as rare as possible and no changes to the vegetables or potatoes. When the plates were put down, the roast beef had been switched. I got the medium rare and my friend was served the very rare. The waitperson scooted off so quickly that we didn’t have a chance to say anything to him. We switched the meat ourselves. Quite ungainly as you can imagine. There were only two of us…..how difficult was it to get the order right? Sheldon Inn is expensive. My friend and I expect better for our money.

   We were celebrating our anniversary with a brunch. Sheldon Inn really made it special with personalized menus, a picture and all the anniversary wishes from all the staff. The food was fabulous and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!

   Brunch at Sheldon Inn is always wonderful because the food is of the highest quality restaurant in Elk Grove, rivaling Boulevard Bistro. We had the Farmer's Breakfast, which consists of two eggs as you like, sourdough toast, bacon, ham,, linguica, and breakfast potatoes with peppers and onions. Everything was wonderful except the toast -- Sheldon Inn really needs to upgrade its toast to buttered wheat toast as at Black Bear diner, instead of that hard, difficult to digest sourdough toast a(without butter) that they serve. I almost choked trying toi eat it and it tasted like week old bread to me. The rest of the breakfast is wonderful, except for this one item that Sheldon Inn management really needs to change. We sat at a table in the bar, which does make it a bit difficult to hear others at your table but it is a nice and warm environment. We could not get into the dining room because of the Valentine Day crowd and the courtyard, which is so lovely and needly magical in the summertime, was not really a consideration, given the cool temperatures and rainy weather, which will continue likely for three to four weeks. Allin all, a wonderful Elk Grove tradition that I recommend to everyone in the Sacramento - Stockton area.
