About Canon | East Sacramento

Canon | East Sacramento is a cozy and inviting restaurant with a seasonal and creative menu. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The warm atmosphere is enhanced by the wooden ceiling. Customers have praised the family-style service, which allows them to sample a variety of dishes. The restaurant also offers an excellent drink menu and a comprehensive wine list, making it a perfect destination for a delightful dining experience. Overall, Canon | East Sacramento is renowned for its seasonal, innovative, and delicious cuisine, as well as its friendly and attentive staff.

The menu features a variety of unique and delectable dishes, such as the Baby Artichoke and Potatoes, Spring Pea Salad, Creamed Butter Beans, and Whole Fried Fish. The house-made naan bread, with its crispy exterior and soft interior, is a standout. Other popular items include the Smoked Whole Chicken, Blistered Carrots, and the deconstructed Banh Mi, featuring flavorful pork and the restaurant's signature pickled vegetables. Guests have also enjoyed dishes like halibut, which was expertly executed and beautifully presented—seared crispy with perfect salt and very flaky. The pole beans with rice are crisp and fresh, and desserts like the pistachio slice are appreciated for their less sweet taste and nutty flavor.

Many visitors appreciate the family-style servings that allow for sampling multiple dishes. The knowledgeable, friendly service is often highlighted. The atmosphere is praised as nice and quiet, especially when dining on the patio during summer evenings, which is well shaded from the sun. Although prices are on the higher side, the overall experience and quality of food are considered excellent value. Guests look forward to returning to try the fall/winter menu and enjoy the consistently great food and service. The staff are extremely polite, knowledgeable, and great at their jobs. Cocktails are fun and the wine list is wonderful. The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. The drumsticks were definitely a hit.

Recent reviews highlight a special Row 7 dinner held on 10/17/25, which was described as superb with top-notch food and just the right portions. The swag bag was a nice touch, and the value was deemed appropriate for the experience. However, during a different special menu collaboration, some dishes like potatoes and BBQ were overly salted, and the diversity of vegetables was disappointing, especially considering the focus on vegetables from a local grower. Despite this, the sardine plate, salad, and appetizers received praise. Overall, expectations for the special dinner were high, but some felt it did not quite meet those expectations.

Guests also mention that the food is usually really good, and the service is amazing. The place has a lively vibe, which can be a little loud but adds to the fun atmosphere. A few wished for more options on the cocktail menu, but overall, it remains a popular spot. Many look forward to returning for more of the great food, friendly service, and enjoyable experience.
