    We have dined here as a group of 6 numerous times before a our Broadway show. I do not feel as if they are properly staffed for these evenings, as we are on a time schedule. Our reservation time is 5:30. Wait Staff is good, drinks take to long, Kitchen gets backed up as all our meals come out at different times. The Show Special Dinner is a great deal if you like the 2 options and Red/White Wine. Best Bargain, and this time we learned it would have included Valet Parking. We dined there 2 weeks prior and had not heard this. The deserts are delicious, but with the lag time in getting dinner served and receiving the dessert, let alone our bill... we race to get over to the Theater. The manager stopped by our table that night and explained the Valet, as well as how we would know the dinner options in Open Table - under Experiences. Next time I will remember this. But our next show is not until May.

    Everything was great, the service was wonderful and attentive; Our server, Pru was fabulous. The ambiance was good. Our steaks were off by one level. I ordered the steak medium-rare and it came medium and my friend ordered her steak medium and it came medium-well to well. The dessert was delicious, flour less chocolate tort. The cabernet sauvignon was ok.

    Monica was our server and she was wonderful! We will be back on February 22 and hope to have her as our server again. Food was great. We went to Hamilton and the names of our food matched the meaning of the broadway show we attended. I wish we had come to the Sheraton during our other broadway shows.

    With parking prices going up, we decided to try this $75 meal deal. We LOVED that the meal was themed to the play that we were seeing ("Hamilton") with Sam Adams Braised Beef Short Rib and Boston Tea Party Cream Pie. The entree was beautifully plated. They must have run out of the dessert as we were served cheesecake instead. It was OK but would have been perfect with what we were expecting instead. House wine was good as well. Our waitress was especially attentive! Service was a bit slow but it was SUPER busy so not her fault. We arrived at 5:50 and left a little after 7; good timing to get to our seats. I highly recommend booking at 5:45 so you aren't stressing about missing your curtain time. We LOVE our date nights at the Broadway series. Adding this made the evening stellar! Will do this again!

    This was a really convenient way to dine and park for the theater. Food was tasty. We chose the package that includes valet, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, and a bottle of wine. Would have liked to have had a little more menu flexibility, but overall it was a good experience and definitely a great value.

    This was our 2nd time going to dinner at PMB at Sheraton before a broadway series show. We’ve tried out most of the restaurants in downtown Sac. PMB is better than most! The food is delicious! Chef’s kiss! Service is attentive and price (includes bottle of wine and valet service) is unbeatable if going to a show. We like PMB so much that we decided to make it our pre-show dinner from now on.
