"My friend and I walked in without a reservation, and we were so grateful for how accommodating the staff was in getting us a seat. The service throughout the evening was exceptional—everyone was friendly, funny, and genuinely attentive. We felt really welcomed. As for the food, it was really enjoyable! My friend had the lamb, which she really liked, and I had the ribeye, which was flavorful. The Brussels sprouts Caesar and the Wagyu-wrapped appetizer were both nice additions to the meal. They also served us a sweet little hot chocolate in a shot glass when we were finished with our meal. That was a great addition for my sweet tooth. While everything was tasty, I think there’s a little room for even more flavor depth in some dishes. Still, we left very satisfied. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and I’d definitely recommend this place. Looking forward to coming back!"

"Excellent, excellent, excellent service, food, and ambiance. It is patently clear from the conversations throughout the restaurant and kitchen that the attentive owner and staff care deeply about the dining experience of all their guests. The experience is worth the high price point. I will certainly return if I am ever back in Sacramento on a weekend. My order ($85+tip): - No drinks - Grilled Eggplant Appetizer - Ribeye Steak in a Blue Cheese Reduction Entrée - Mango Sorbet Dessert"
