Tamara DorrisMarch 5, 2012The food is to die for, from red meat delights to veggies....however, their corkage fee border ridiculous (25 first bottle 40 the second). Obviously they serve amazing wines, so best to buy it there.
Josh Reeder-EsparzaFebruary 13, 2017Their cocktails are excellent; they have special whiskey reserved with four roses for their old fashioned's amazing house-made tonic for their gin and tonics. Food is top notch, and the service is 💯Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Megan OutlySeptember 9, 2013The gin & tonic is a must have. Also be sure to set aside plenty of time for dinner (service is a bit slow.. in a good way)! Also, the crispy chicken w/ homemade tabasco sauce is absolutely delicious!
Kyle BakerMarch 14, 2017Quite possibly the very best take on a gin and tonic that I've ever tasted. Travel from afar to try this!
Kate FurmanApril 2, 2015Come for happy hour, stay for dinner. The cocktail are specially crafted and the bone marrow is not to be missed.
If on menu, the pork chop with poblano smoked Gouda grits is great. Make sure, however, that you don't miss the bone marrow.
The steak tartare is absolutely amazing. Their gin & tonic is ridiculously good, as is the elderflower gimlet. You can't go wrong here.
BellaLuciDolciSeptember 30, 2015Best Salmon i have ever had lately! Cool ambiance with an amazing food. Def will come back again if i ever need to visit Sacramento.

Jon DarveauMay 9, 2015This place is incredible, honestly one of best restaurants in the country. The steak is out of this world.
Try the Summer Porch Cocktail - Vodka., black tea syrup, lemon, fresh herbs, lemon granita. A sweet light drink perfect for a non-drinker like me!
R AJuly 21, 2017The food was fantastic, but the service we experienced was subpar and almost rude. Will be back again, to be sure since the food was fantastic. Perhaps they had some newer staff.
Elizabeth HurleyNovember 19, 2011Fine dining in Sacramento! Everything is delicious and the service is professional and attentive. This restaurant is the only place to go for a special celebration.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014Start with Ella’s Manhattan – they have their own two barrel blend bourbon – and prepare yourself a great meal featuring elevated American cuisine.
Jim SFebruary 7, 2014Black eyed peas are so good. Service is excellent. Get valet parking bonus credit from yelp or Foursquare. Shutters are all from Hungary.
Mireille De Bruycker HouserAugust 22, 2014Gin and Tonic is the house drink. Ambiance is great and chilled lobster with watermelon is superbe.
