Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Sacramento

Took my girlfriend for Valentines Day weekend. The menu they offered was big and every stage of dinner was amazing, from the Wedge salad with goat cheese, Deviled egg and the highlight was the steak and potato cooked in duck fat. The Pear margarita was amazing and the red wine paired with steak is unmatched. Alysha our server was amazing, really made the restaurant feel like home. We’ll definitely be back

This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

Had a party of five for Valentine’s evening. Restaurant was busy but service was outstanding. Ordered the empanadas & trio dip to start. All were delicious and had that homemade taste- not over-seasoned/ salted like many other restaurants do. Entree portions were generous & easily split without feeling like you didn’t get enough to eat. The center cut filet came out a bit undercooked to preference but our server promptly took it back & brought the plate out with properly cooked steak with new sides also. We appreciated the attentiveness of the wait staff. Cocktails were great and the butter cake was a yummy dessert to share. Highly recommended this place & look forward to trying more of their menu items on a return visit!

We've celebrated many events at Firehouse but this year was the first time we spent our Valentine dinner there. And it was fabulous! We sat down in the basement where one of their wine cellars is located. It was very quiet. Very cozy. The food, as usual, was fantastic! A four course meal and wine was absolutely delicious. Our main server and the rest of the wait staff that took care of us were very accommodating. We've decided that future Valentine dinners too will be celebrated at the Firehouse.

I hadn’t enjoyed Torc recently, I need to visit more often! The cocktails were superb (ride lightening!). The appetizers and salad were delicious! The diver scallops, and short rib were fabulous and the duck breast was outstanding! Kudos to Sean and the kitchen!! Philip provided great guidance concerning the menu and excellent service!! Oh! Forgot to mention the red velvet and the pave desserts…. We loved both! (My friends who had a not good experience at a previous visit were amazed - delicious food, exceptional service and can’t wait to return.) Thank you Sean, Cynthia and staff!!
