About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Charming

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.

Love the simple menu that is seasonal. Had the pimento cheese focaccia and it was delicious. Of course, had the drumsticks and crispy cauliflower. Both wonderful and the 4 of us shared the whole chicken and an order of broccolini. Was so happy to see an assrytiko on the wine menu by the glass. Always so refreshing.

Was not impressed with the menu. Small plates were okay and the swordfish platter was overpowered by the many items in the dish that appeared to have been used in an attempt to hide the minimal size of swordfish and the fact that the fish was overcooked and too dry. Service was good, martinis were small. We liked the outdoor seating area. No need to return here.

Traditionally we always celebrate the end of my husband’s tax season at Canon. Every bite in this meal was celebratory. We always start our meal off with a glass of wine and the tots with mole , cojita and pickled onion. From the new spring menu we chose the deliciously prepared asparagus cooked to perfection with beautiful creative sauces and toppings (I could easily have enjoyed the platter by myself but I shared it). The purple smashed potatoes rich and beautiful melt in your mouth. The purple potatoes with a few nasturtiums on the top was nothing short of stunning. And we shared the swordfish plate. Maybe the best fish I’ve eaten. A lovely rub on it an so satisfying. It was perfectly prepared. The dinner was finished with a dessert that is creamy and magical. The pistachio pie. No matter how full you are you must order this heavenly pie. Not overly sweet or filling just delicious with a lovely texture and the perfect melt in your mouth finale. Thank you Canon for a perfect meal. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the incredible service at Canon. The impeccable service is the best anywhere we’ve been.

Top tier dining experience in their fully enclosed patio. Ambience is elevated but relaxed and welcoming. Dishes are aesthetically beautiful, well prepared and creative while still being approachable. Deep champagne and wine selection. Very good value for an enjoyable fine dining experience.

Canon is one of the best restaurants in Sacramento and our favorite place to come. The cocktails, food and service are always spot-on and the constantly updated menu keeps it exciting. We love the tots and the chicken drumsticks though, so glad they are still on the menu! We are sure to be back soon.
