   We choose butcher & barrel because of positive reviews and we're glad we did. We had a reservation but decided to sit at the open bar. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. We started with the stuffed shrimp and the beet salad, we definitely recommend those. I also had the spring fling cocktail and it was very good. For our entree we had the butcher's burger and it also was wonderful. The service was great we were greeted quickly and felt taken care of. We will definitely visit again if we're in the area.

   I called Butcher & Barrel to reserve tables for my birthday dinner, and Jeanette, the floor supervisor, answered the phone. She was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the process. When we arrived, Selena, our waitress, provided attentive and pleasant service, making the dinner even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious! If you’re ever in downtown Sacramento and appreciate great food and excellent service, this is the place to visit. I will definitely be returning!!

   We had the filet, which was cooked perfectly to our preferred doneness. Accompanying carrots and asparagus were a great complement. Enjoyed the side of fries (but would have preferred more ketchup). Gin and tonics were delicious. Our server was attentive and responsive. We'll be back.

   Had reservations and were seated right away. Service was good and we were attended to timely. My steak was a bit on the fatty side especially for the amount of money. Veggies a bit undercooked. Mac and Cheese was great. Burger was good.

   We had a great evening, food was fantastic. A couple of issues from the kitchen, but the service staff and management made everything right. Looking forward to the new menu and selections. We will return.

   Really had high hopes for this place since it received a lot of good reviews on Yelp and Open Table. The drinks were very good and service as well, but the food did not live up to the hype. The appetizers were just ok. It's the main courses that were disappointing. My wife and one other person chose the $48 scallops with risotto. This included only THREE small scallops. The risotto flavor initially was good, but then they added a backend spice that destroyed it. Gordon Ramsey charges $54 for his scallop and risotto appetizer, the scallops are twice the size, and risotto is out of this world. I and two other people ordered the short rib dish because the pictures online were incredible. As you can see from my pictures, one looked good and the other just looked like a blob of fat. I was surprised that a place like this would even put a dish looking like that in front of the customer. The night ended with a nice $550 bill that already included a 4% "kitchen equity" fee. After tip, I was in over $660 for a mediocre meal. Don't think I will be returning to this place.

   Had a wonderful anniversary dinner with my husband. Our New York steaks were cooked to perfection and service was excellent

    Excellent food and service. First time at this restaurant, will definitely be back. The short rib was so tender and juicy. Excellent!
