Came here on a Tuesday evening as I had a business meeting in the area that required an overnight stay. The restaurant was fairly busy upon arrival but I was immediately greeted and seated in a nice area in the back. The decor inside is simple but elegant, with nothing overstated which I like. The service was prompt and the staff was friendly. I ordered the fillet which was a bargain at $23. The fillet was prepared perfectly with the cook just right. It was covered in a sort of gravy which was exploding with flavor, it reminded me of a sauce my grandfather would make when he would cook venison for the family. The fillet was served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans which were also very flavorful and cooked well. This is the second time I have been to this restaurant I would come back again in a heartbeat.

If I could give zero stars I would. We went here after a Cirque du Soleil show, to celebrate my marathon victory from earlier in the day. We were seated right away and the restaurant was mostly empty. We ordered two starters and two entrees. Our server brought out all four plates at once, saying that the kitchen was starting to get busy. So our overcooked and already lukewarm entrees sat on the table while we munched our appetizers which were quickly thrown together and poorly presented. The food was mediocre at best and the service was horrible. The table next to us got up and left after not being visited for 20 minutes or more. In the end we felt robbed of our celebration and paid $40 for the terrible appetizers. One of the worst dining experiences weve ever had.

Hubby and I pooped in here for small plates and drinks. My god it was packed! Kings season opener and a sold out Crocker event we were headed to really packed the place. The hostess found us a booth in the bar area immediately (impressive!). We were greeted by Tony who was very busy with a young crowd of shot drinkers, but you would never have known how demanding they were of his attention because he was so efficient! We were quite pleased with the service and the food is top notch.

This was the 4th Street Grill, It was good then, its better now. If you are willing to spend a little more for lunch and want a nice place to have a chat and eat some good food, somewhere just a little of the main streets, this is the place. The Servers are top notch and they wont steer you wrong on food selections. Plus, they have a nice bar.

Great setting and the food was good. Salmon a little dry but everything else was pretty good. Good drink menu as well. Proximity to the new stadium is the draw here now. So, it could be packed on any given day that you were not aware so maybe check the stadium schedule before you plan a night here.

My friend and 11 others got food poisoning from your salmon salad and all of them had to miss a country concert last weekend, which they all paid for, including myself, who had to skip out to help my friend. VERY UPSET and do not plan on coming back to dine here again !

Went here before a concert at the golden one center. Perfect location, right across the street. Great food. I had a burger and a grilled artichoke and my fiancé had a flatbread. We enjoyed everything, the only negative was the heat. No air conditioning.

Awesome food, fast service. I asked for fry sauce and not knowing what it was (mayonnaise and ketchup mixed) he asked me and brought me the stuff to make it. The burger was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Price was 12 for burger so not too bad.

I love this place! Service is great, and the owner is awesome. He takes care of his regulars!! Food is always delicious. Lunch, dinner, after dinner cocktails with friendly atmosphere - whatever youre looking for you can find it here.

They have literally no food on the menu that was grown locally (Sacramento region) yet their website is heavy on farm-to-fork advertisements. This is just more junk frozen food for a Sacramento public that doesnt know any better.

Excellent restaurant try the Halibut its excellent! Nice place to stop by before a game at the Golden 1 Arena which is directly across the street. I suggest you make reservations what you can do online or use your smartphone.

This is pretty standard fare pub food, to its credit. Service was good and food was solid. Kind of off the beaten path, I wouldnt have noticed it unless someone has suggested going there. Parking downtown = good luck.

Poor service but good food. 8 person party and 2 people received their meals after everyone finished AND their plates were cleared. Management came over after we asked to speak with him and did almost nothing.

Atmosphere was nice, wait staff was wonderful. The Food was hit or miss. The flat breads were amazing, calamari starter was so-so, and my pork chop was horrible. Overcooked and dry, but still somehow cold?

One of my favorite restaurants to visit. The new owners really care about the quality of the food and service. We even take our 4-year old here and they have never said no to a request to make him happy.

The people were insanely nice as I had no change for the bus and not from Sacramento the crew was happy to help! May stop in on my way back home, and see if their kindness matches their food :-)

Best Paella I have had in some time!!! I took clients for lunch and the service was fantastic and the food was memorable. Thanks for remembering the customer service and hats off to the chef!

Top notch service! Food was excellent, I had the short rib stroganoff with mushrooms. Cooked to perfection, melted in my mouth! Drinks fairly priced for an event night.

My burger was supposed to be medium rare, but it was overcooked, dry, and underseasoned (if it was even seasoned at all). It took 10-15 minutes for them to refill our beers

Have had a few good meals here over the last month. Definitely worth the stop and just as good if not better than the 4th St Bar and Grill that it replaced.

Awesome place to grab an extraordinary meal in the heart of downtown Sacramentos newest hotspot. The executive chef is a genius!!
