Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio.

"With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee

"Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights. Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates." - Michelin Guide

Canon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace. A 4% service fee is added to dine-in bills to help cover the cost of employee health and wellness benefits and to provide a kitchen equity stipend to our back-of-house staff.

Farm to Fork concepts and flavors are still well and present, however, this is the first time I would rate the service as sub-standard. Waiting an hour for roast chicken dish is not acceptable. Waitress seemed bothered the entire meal. No check-ins once food was served. Beverage service was slow to non-existent. I guess this is what you get when tip is included and chipping in an additional 4% to employee health plans is baked into the cost. Do better!

We were greeted and shown to our table with a view of the kitchen, as requested in the reservation. The service was lovely, attentive yet non obtrusive. The server was knowledgeable. The tuna was delicate and nuanced. The potato confit was also a treat. Birthday candle provided in the dessert, thoughtful touch. We will be going back.

This was our first time eating in the actual dining room and not on the patio or in the special larger group room. It gave us a whole new perspective and allowed us to really enjoy the decor and ambience- and we have eaten eat Canon A LOT. this was like a whole new experience! The food menu is always small but creative and eclectic with flavor and texture combos for the ages. We also tried some of the new seasonal cocktails- very interesting and unique. Definitely boozy enough to NOT need a glass of wine with dinner!

The food was very good. However none of the dishes we tried were particularly surprising or memorable. Also, the pavlova was oddly over-baked. But the service was very good!
