Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Fair Oaks

Wife's King Crab was supper yummy, and had very large pieces, and mine were Scallops, that were big, and very tasty. Wine offerings were too expensive, IMO, and they should offer some budget reds and whites, [cheapest one that I saw, and ordered, was a half bottle at $38. Some of the cheapest were $10 a glass]. Have a few drinks, or glasses of vino before your dinner. Excellent food and service, overall.

We decided to not cook Thanksgiving this year and go to a restaurant, there are just 5 of us. I received an email from Black Angus telling about their Thanksgiving Turkey day dinner. We've been going to Black Angus for over 30 years, so we knew it was a good place. I made reservations a few weeks ago. They checked with me the day before to make sure we were still coming. We arrived 5 min early. The place was PACKED but we were seated within 10 mins. The greeter was good, and the server was great. 3 of us had the turkey dinner and 2 ate beef. Everyone enjoyed their dinner, and I took leftovers of my dinner and my piece of pie and enjoyed them later. It was a wonderful and relaxing family get together. I would recommend it highly!!

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

I was extremely happy with my meal. I'm trying to eat a bit healthier and ordered the salmon bowl with Brussel sprouts, salad, salmon and rice. Delicious, just the right amount of food! Presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were melt in your mouth terrific! I'd order it again! Our waitress and bus person were super friendly and inviting.

Our first time eating here. Joined friends for a delightful night. Excellent food, excellent wait staff, spectacular mid mod ambiance, delicious cocktails. We had a wonderful experience in the dining room, and can’t wait to come back so we can enjoy the outdoor patio when it stops raining. We highly recommend Shangri-la!
