Restaurants near Woodlake Park

It was incredibly busy, being a holiday, and tables were delayed about 15 minutes, which was completely understandable and expected on my end… all of the staff were moving at a high pace, working hard to make every party in the restaurant have the best dining experience possible. Our party did not feel rushed, we were pleased with our server (thank you, Tiffany!) and all the support staff. The food was all excellent, and we will be returning for future celebrations!

The food was exceptional as always. The chef consistently adds a twist to even the old favorites. Try the friend brussel sprouts, they added sweet caramelized onions and they are perfect! Always great service and the cocktails are exquisite. Another favorite, bavette steak - tender and juicy.

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

The food was fantastic. Our server was also very good. We had 2 platters, 2 small plates, and one appetizer item. The flavor combinations for all of the dishes were both complex and delicious. I will definitely return.
