This is one of our faves in Sacramento. They never disappoint. The halibut was exceptional and my husband loves the lamb here every time. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in Sac with great food, friendly service and such a cool vibe.

Went at about 6pm on Saturday 11-23-2024 and they were packed - lots of large parties going on, at least 4 that I could tell, making it almost too noisy to enjoy the experience. Service was still top notch, as was the food. I will be back, just not on a weekend night, as personally I'm not fond of crowds like that. Guess it is the price to pay for liking a being a popular eatery so much.
