We had quite the memorable dinner at Ella. To begin with, we ordered the fresh baked bread and butter. The bread was so very fresh, and the butter light and delicious. We also ordered the butter leaf salad with an incredible dressing. The lettuce and vegetables were so crisp and fresh, along with the incredible salad dressing...it was delightful. For an appetizer, we ordered the mushrooms with in-house made fresh ricotta cheese... another incredibly delicious symphony of flavors that melted in your mouth. Our main course was the Salmon, absolutely incredibly delicious! It was lightly grilled on the outside cooked medium.. The salmon literally melted in your mouth like a marsh mellow. By far, Ella is the very best fine dining restaurant in the Sacramento area.

Always a great experience at Canon. It is a special treat for us and it did not disappoint. The squash small plate was the hit of the night. Delicious.

Wonderful birthday celebration! The food and ambience were amazing! The service staff were attentive without being over the top. We look forward to celebrating here again. The food, drinks and dessert were exceptional.

Paragary's has been a family tradition for special occasions (as well as casual dining) because of their excellence for decades. Tonight was my father's 96th birthday, the first birthday without the 'love of his life' (mom, married almost 70 years passed in June). We went to celebrate both his birth and the many treasured times we shared. Our server was as sweet as can be, knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. Our food was outstanding and dad's special birthday desert delicious. We will continue to share our special times at Paragary's.

Fantastic service for our party of 12. We sat outside, a bit chilly but they brought heaters to keep us warm. Food was excellent and accurate as ordered. The noise level inside and crowd was overwhelming and we wouldn’t have stayed if we had to sit inside. The crowds were overly packed in- they should limit how many are seated or allowed to stand around the bar. We couldn’t get through to use the restrooms even and it was deafening when walking through the restaurant. Just note that Saturday nights are over the top with noise and people!
