Best restaurants near me in Sacramento, CA

The ambiance, competence, food knowledge of the staff, and an excellent menu (both food and wine) always meet high expectations. Recently, I had a simple lunch: a Croque Madame and some pinot noir. The pinot was very good, and the Croque Madame was as good as I have ever had. I also have had many lovely dinners at the Brasserie—a midtown favorite for me, my wife, and numerous friends. If you haven't already tried it,

Dinner at The Grange was outstanding. We had the Dine Downtown menu which was superb. Our cocktails were delicious. Service was really great. Our server anticipated what we needed, checked in, the service team made sure our water was refilled, our cutlery was appropriate to each course, and the Manager came by a couple times to check in. We will definitely be back soon!

Great experience once you walk through the door! Inviting service and recommendations! Food was delicious especially the Szechwan steak and banana cream pie!

I will be returning to Ella. This initial experience was a lunch time that. I enjoyed the burger and learned about the process of creating the meal, the baking of the bread, and the quality of meat used, just how this meal differs from Ella's sister resturants. The NA tonic was refreshing, I look forward to giving their signature G&T a try. The ambiance is refreshing in Sacramento, where we have so few high-end establishments. I'd recommend visiting solo at the bar, at a table with a friend's or a private space to enjoy your party. Pricing was fine, overall comparable to area resturants.

Celebrated friends 77th birthday at Echo & Rig. Greeted by a very personable hostess who seated upon complete party arrival. Server came over to us and asked if we had previously dined at the restaurant. Some of us had, but most was first time. We ordered drinks, then ordered our meals. Two of us ordered the rib steak caps; only to learn they only had one cap left. It was 6:50 pm and only one left?? Others ordered the salmon, ceasar salad, calamari, and the rib tips. Since there was only one rib cap left, I ordered the bavette steak. The salads were large, the calamari was tasty. The rib tips were tasty, but small portion. Pass on this dish f you and your party are hungry. The steaks are also small portion. The bavvette was tough. Birthday boy to had the last rib steak cap said he’s had better. It was a small cap. For a steak house, you would think the steaks would be great; but they’re not. Service was excellent!! Noisy restaurant, mostly a bar. They did gift a dessert to birthday boy; nice gesture. We wouldn’t be back to this so called steakhouse. Again, server and his aids were excellent .
