Restaurants near Central Pumping Station

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!!!

Easily the best overall fine dining experience in Sacramento (we love several others as well, it’s just that The Firehouse is one-of-a-kind). The ribeye special tonight was especially exceptional. We keep coming back for the ambience and personal service, with consistent attention to detail, and no one else has a setting like this (not to mention the best wine list outside of Napa).

The food was fantastic. Our server was also very good. We had 2 platters, 2 small plates, and one appetizer item. The flavor combinations for all of the dishes were both complex and delicious. I will definitely return.

My wife and I had a lovely experience with everything from the bread to the drinks, appetizers, and main course!! Bone marrow asada is a must try!! Pork belly burnt end melt in you mouth crazy good!! Pea tendrils also amazing side!! It's slept on! Spencer steak nice piece of meat recommended by my good friend and chef Christopher!! Thanks again for the great food. My wife had sea food shrimp and artichokes, and it was also amazing as well!! Will be coming back soon!!

I brought my husband here for his birthday. From the moment we walked in, everything was lovely. They had printed his name and happy birthday on the menus. They brought us complementary Cava to toast his birthday. I am a vegetarian and I loved my appetizer and entrée. My husband loved everything he had as well. The staff are so kind and welcoming. This was our first time dining here. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.
