Best Hot Spot Restaurants in La Riviera

We had mole enchiladas, red enchiladas, and chile rellenos for dinner. We drank red sangria. Every diner at the table was pleased with their choice. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, was hopping with birthday and holiday energy, was loud and bustling. Our waitress and every other server was working hard. Our waitress was apologetic about the restaurant's understaffing, but we took it in stride -- she was pleasant and attentive when with us, and we didn't wait too long for anything. If we're in Sacramento again, we'll gladly return to Zocalo Midtown, without hesitation.

We had 4 in our group. Two of us ordered the Salmon bowl which we have had several times in the past. As usual, it was delicious. Our two guests were pleased with the tacos and pork but after they saw our salmon bowl, they wished they had ordered it instead. Our servers were exceptional, friendly and polite.

We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.

Always a great experience at Canon. It is a special treat for us and it did not disappoint. The squash small plate was the hit of the night. Delicious.

This was the best bday dinner for my husband. Our server, Eric, was fantastic, he went over and beyond to make sure our dinner was perfect and it was. Food was delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, Chad, who cleared our dishes, was outstanding as well, he was friendly, polite and served us extremely well. We wish every server we have is like Eric!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best, polite, friendly, efficient and so courteous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect bday and evening.
