Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Auburn

We come here on the regular Always a great experience

It is not unusual that the food, the soup is over salted. Over seasoning is a sign of inexperience and not sophistication with chefs.

We were celebrating an early family Christmas and had never been to Monkey Cat, as we are new in the area. Loved the name, liked the look of the food offered and especially, liked the extensive and unique drink menu. Service was excellent and even brewed a pot of decaf coffee for our DD! Recommend the Luxardo Old Fashioned and the Green Eyed Girl cocktails. Monkey Cat featured my family's favorite Gin - Hendricks and Sazerac Rye Whiskey. Only drama was finding parking in this busy area on a Saturday night. Definitely will be repeat guests there. Try it out!

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.

Again! Best place in Auburn for relaxing outdoor dining. We appreciate the low key and (sort of) quiet ambience. (There’s not much to be done about the freeway noise, but we’re glad there’s no loud music.) We ordered flatbread pizzas and salad, and that kind chef, Adil, once again topped out dinner with a platter of fresh fruit. We LOVE this place.
