“I recently had the pleasure of attending a 5-course Tequila dinner event at Encanto Tequila Bar on this incredible June evening in 2024. I can confidently say that it was a remarkable experience. The combination of fantastic company and exquisite food, curated by Chef Juan, made it a truly unforgettable evening. Every dish was not only delicious but also expertly paired with various types of Casamigos Tequila, enhancing the flavors in the most delightful way.

The Liberal Bull is a best kept secret in loomis. Every hour is happy hour with a speakeasy vibe. This is a great date spot. The drinks are cheap and the atmosphere is cozy. Order at the bar and then find a booth to get to know each other better. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY“

“We all have hard days. So we were in Folsom for the Holiday art and craft fair today and saw Plank so we decided to go in. We were seated quickly and our water and drinks were ordered. Luke was on it and attentive to all of our needs, started the heater for us. It was a little chilly. Brought out our drinks and took our order! Sadly, after our appetizer came and we were finishing it, we were informed by the manager that there had been a mistake and our order had been lost. So she took our order and was very apologetic. Not two minutes later, our salads were served. 3-4 min after that our entrees . All perfect order and in service. When Luke served us, he was very apologetic and shared his mistake with us. The service here was impeccable and they made everything right! They made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and served in a timely order despite the hiccup. The food was amazing. We had the Caprese sandwich, fresh and delicious. We had the grilled artichoke, which was amazing with great sauces. And we had the steak chimichurri sandwich. I would highly recommend going and checking these guys out!!! The drinks were epic too !!! And thanks again, Luke and the lovely manager lady !!!!“

“Went to The Brass Tap last night for the first time and for my wife's early birthday celebration.

A few highlights:
1. Service and ambiance are fantastic, especially if you love sports. Service truly was the hero, but more on other good stuff and opportunities to come.

2. Drinks - My wife had a nice Chardonnay and I enjoyed one of the many fantastic brews on draft and in bottle. A small nit pick would be if you arrive during happy hour and last drinks just served outside of happy hour, as it was busy, let's not upcharge as if we arrived after happy hour ended.

3. Food - We ordered a small appetizer of loaded crinkle cut fries. If you don't like sour cream, make sure to ask for it to be left off, but bacon, cheese, and fries together were awesome. The Mrs asked for sliced jalapeños on top and wouldn't you know, they were freshly cut vs jar bought. Kudos and truly made the difference.

We moved into dinner and it didn't miss, in fact, my wife's soft tacos and my flat bread option were both very good. With the soft tacos, the chips and salsa (nice kick) were spot on!!

Not looking for an area to critique, but the restaurant could use some detail on the walls and a revamp of the falling apart and extremely dirty menus, but the outstanding service with a smile won over the visit.

Guess one last thing I would mention, as I overheard one employee try to explain the best they could do was window tint doing very little to step setting sun from blinding so many, would be to but rollable shades on all windows.

I thank you for making the dinner enjoyable for my wife and the birthday wishes, right after we paid, were a special touch as well.“

“They have Karaoke on Wed which was really fun. This BLT was to die for. Triple Decker with Avocado and I had them put the Jalapeño on the side. Shoestring fries were yummy. My friend got a burrito that was less than stellar and totally different from the menu description, she liked it though. The interior is big and has a stage right in the middle. It was hot outside but inside was cool and comfortable. The stairs were the biggest drawback lol.“
