This is one of our faves in Sacramento. They never disappoint. The halibut was exceptional and my husband loves the lamb here every time. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in Sac with great food, friendly service and such a cool vibe.

Had the lunch special, a three course meal. As usual very tasty. Ordered vino (Albaiña) by the glass. Nice pour.

Arrived 6 PM and we were seated promptly. Everything we ordered was very good. It’s hard to go wrong here but the service is lacking enough that something will generally go wrong. Tonight it was an order of scallops that were taking forever to arrive. Upon inquiring they were promptly delivered cold. Same problem last week with soup. The young female waitress is really nice but just not up to the task.

Aioli is consistently good. We were seated promptly and were told of the specials one of which was a tasty squash soup. Sadly, when it arrived it was luke warm. This on a gray and cold November evening. Too bad as it would have been phenomenal if it had arrived piping hot. The rest of the meal was outstanding and we enjoyed the evening. We arrived on time for our 5:45 PM reservation and had to request the check to get to our 7:30 show.
