    A fantastic restaurant with wonderful staff. It was great to see Four Pillars Gin at the bar. The bar tender was an artisan. Our server, Gibson was attentive and thorough. The food certainly met our expectations. I would highly recommend a visit.

    I've been to this several times before, and have always had a great experience. I wanted to bring my partner here for quite some time now. Our server was Kim, and the past few times I had been there, she was always my server. She was excellent, and engaged my partner and I in conversation. She made some excellent recommendations about our dinner, and they were totally worth it! I would recommend anyone visiting Sacramento, or any locals who want a nice restaurant to go to, this place is it!
