    This is one of our faves in Sacramento. They never disappoint. The halibut was exceptional and my husband loves the lamb here every time. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in Sac with great food, friendly service and such a cool vibe.

    Went at about 6pm on Saturday 11-23-2024 and they were packed - lots of large parties going on, at least 4 that I could tell, making it almost too noisy to enjoy the experience. Service was still top notch, as was the food. I will be back, just not on a weekend night, as personally I'm not fond of crowds like that. Guess it is the price to pay for liking a being a popular eatery so much.

    This Sunday brunch was one of the more enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the welcome at the door when we arrived to our chat with the owners, as we left, the service was exceptionally personal and professional at the same time. We felt welcomed and valued as guests. The food was absolutely incredible! I felt encouraged to try different things I was rewarded with delicious experiences. I WILL definitely become a regular. Mad props to the entire crew for making this kid (senior OG) from the wrong side of the tracks feel special.
