I can't say enough good things about 1228. It is by far our favorite restaurant anywhere. Each season we look forward to finding out what new dishes Zach has created. He never disappoints! The sauce, the garnishes, the main ingredients, all play together well, but also offer different taste experiences bite by bite. Every dish he creates is a symphony of flavors that make eating dinner a fun experience!
As a gluten free diner, I appreciate the knowledgeable staff when it comes to knowing what dishes are OK for me to order. Sometimes, the gluten free choices cause me to try something might not ordinarily order, but I am always pleasantly surprised and happy to add to my repertoire!
We have eaten at 1228 many times over the last ten years with both guests and large groups. We are so happy to have a place like this to treat our friends. We love the food, the friendly service, and the live music! We love you, 1228!

This place is outstanding! We were celebrating a milestone birthday and a milestone anniversary. They customized the menu for the celebrations which was a very nice touch and the people celebrating their milestones were very impressed by that personal touch.
Now, onto the food...from the very first bite we all said WOW! We started with the heirloom tomato salad, stone fruit salad, elote smashed fries, pok pok bok bok chicken, and the pistachio soup! I can even begin to describe all of the amazing flavors in each of those dishes. That takes an outstanding chef to make all of that happen.
Highly recommend the bork belly main course along with the short ribs. We can't wait to go back and try the prime rib special. The description sounds amazing.
I literally have not one thing to critique. I highly recommend checking this place out. If I didn't live in southern California I would go there as often has humanly possible...it's that good!
What a gem! Thank you to the owners, chef and staff for a memorable night we will never forget!

Worth the trip! A kaleidoscope of delightful flavors and textures make many of Chef Zach's dishes Michelin star-quality for creativity, execution and presentation. Recently had sumptuous pasta including farfalle and risotto entrées equal to the best of the Bay Area (or Italy, for that matter). And the best crispy pork belly, ever. A comfortable, casual, family-run restaurant, Twelve 28 Kitchen is a Northern California gem.

Every meal is so memorable. The most welcoming environment, staff and such amazing food.
I celebrated my birthday here and the food was amazing and Twelve 28 made the evening so special. The food is fresh, local and in season. The portions are significant so I recommend ordering a few dishes that can be shared. The menu items are very unique and you might have a hard time choosing so another reason to share because then you can try more dishes!

The food was amazing! The staff was so helpful and attentive. Everyone greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary, they even went above and beyond by making us a custom anniversary menu.
