Easily the best overall fine dining experience in Sacramento (we love several others as well, it’s just that The Firehouse is one-of-a-kind). The ribeye special tonight was especially exceptional. We keep coming back for the ambience and personal service, with consistent attention to detail, and no one else has a setting like this (not to mention the best wine list outside of Napa).

My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. I must say it was a treat. The service was extraordinary. Everyone who served us was pleasant and it was obvious they enjoyed working at the restaurant. My wife and I could not recall having a better dining experience. The food was out of this world. I don't understand why they have not been given a Michelin star.

The service was amazing, very prompt and attentive. Our food was delicious we started with the gnudi, I had the pasta special my wife had the braised short ribs and our friends had the New York steak and the braised short ribs, for dessert we shared the caramel coffee cheese cake it was okay. All in all Zinfandel Grille is a great choice for food.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House never disappoints. The steaks were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, while the sides—like creamy mashed potatoes—were just as impressive. The atmosphere was welcoming, and service was attentive. As usual, it’s a great choice for anyone craving a top-notch dining experience. Highly recommended!
