Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Folsom

Our first time eating here. Joined friends for a delightful night. Excellent food, excellent wait staff, spectacular mid mod ambiance, delicious cocktails. We had a wonderful experience in the dining room, and can’t wait to come back so we can enjoy the outdoor patio when it stops raining. We highly recommend Shangri-la!

We have always enjoyed Ruth’s Chris and I find it difficult to give a low rating. My guest and I both ordered the 11 oz filet medium well. My wife ordered the filet and shrimp, her filet well done. My guest and I both got filets well done (no pink) and my wife’s was medium well ( some pink). I know mistakes happen so we did not raise the issue, however, I would have enjoyed my steak much more if it had some pink and not so charred. I know we could have said something but it would have meant waiting for another steak to be prepared and our wives would have been way ahead of us. Other than the mix up with the steaks, our server Chad was excellent. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and he made it very special with his service and easy going banter.

Our family birthday celebration was beautifully handled by Il Fornaio. Devon, our waiter, was efficient, thoughtful, and friendly: a real professional! Our cocktails were perfectly prepared, wine service was handled well and service of appetizers and entrees was great. All of the food was tasty. An excellent restaurant.

Vacanza is an amazing restaurant. First, you feel like family. They are so welcoming. The service is wonderful. The food is so delicious and unusual. Unusual in a good way because everything is house made from the huge, delicious croutons to the incredible pastas. Last night I had the Pappardelle Ripienne. A tasty sauce with eggplant, garlic confit, and hazelnut butter and pesto. It was wrapped in the pappardelle. So yummy. It was my birthday and they served me a complimentary tiramisu that was also house made and so tasty. This restaurant is definitely a neighborhood gem.

Chris - our server - was energetic, quick, and personable. We ordered the Chef's Feast for dinner. We enjoyed our tasty entrees: Honey Chicken and Beef Broccoli. The white rice was fluffy and easy to eat with chopsticks. It is a destination drive from Natomas and we plan on returning.
