“This is our neighborhood go to bar and restaurant. The bar is our favorite part but the food is excellent as well. I love the Lechon Asado fries. The staff is always friendly and efficient. They make us feel like family. Don't miss this opportunity to have excellent Puerto Rican and Caribbean food. And if that isn't your thing, they make the best burgers....double beef patties!“

“Back in 2020 while in town for a cousin's wedding. The wedding party ate here. Being a retired chef from Louisiana but residing in Nashville. So I know seafood. I would give this place 5 🌟 because the food deserves 2 👍 and staff and place was A-1.“

“This was our first time in, and we enjoyed the happy hour offerings as well as the risotto of the day and a pizza. The risotto was saffron and shrimp, and it has creamy and delicious as if made from an Italian grandmother. My husband ordered a pizza with sausage and pepperoni, and that crust...wow. I felt like I was in a New York pizzeria. The gnocchi fitting had a texture that wasnl“

“When I first moved to Sacramento, this is one of the very first places my aunt and I discovered well, she discovered it first, anyways, it's become such an etched entity in my brain. I will never forget this place. I don't go as often as I would like, nor as often as I did before, but in all respect it is one of the best places. It's a hidden gem. Most definitely the name says it all. And by such crazy circumstances, my aunt actually works there Now. She's one of the bartenders, Go figure. But most definitely if you are in Sacramento and you're just wanting to go out for some nightlife but casually this is the spot. Karaoke is amazing! Super fun. So are all the people. It's more diverse now than it was before, But you have to understand word of mouth now so people do show up! I love this bar. I really do. They do a lot of potlucks as well. There's not large amounts of food that is available there but they will on occasions have the hot dogs going. They have a wonderful bloody Mary Saturday and I say wonderful and that word does not do it justice. They are amazing but you'll have to find the actual Saturdays that they are available. Trust and believe you will not be disappointed after coming here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Very cool atmosphere but took almost an hour to get our drinks .“

“🙂👍 Denise does a great job!“

“Susan is wonderful and she does a great job! 🙂👍“

“It’s a beautiful place, with really good food but it’s all about the cocktails! The “mixologist” served me three (I was Ubering) variations on my favorite, Manhattans, and all had a name and all were delicious!“

“Great Team!! The Bartenders Are Great“

“What a great spot! Great drinks, chill atmosphere, and good music. The lighting is fabulous for a night cap, intimate conversation, and a few drinks before the clubs. Tables and seating are varied in placement from the bar stools, to a standing table, to smaller tables with big seating areas. Our bartender was excellent and they were so accommodating to our group which grew and grew by the end of the night. Will definitely be going back again.“

“Amazing wine, great locals to meet, staff is amazing and the wine is good. Come, immediately!! (Oh crazy hours, check before you come!)“

“Food is outstanding. Restaurant is beautiful inside. They also have a rooftop lounge inside the hotel.“

“All of their cocktails are absolutely AMAZING, great service, awesome atmosphere! Highly recommend 🐎“

“If you are looking for a Swanky place this is definitely NOT the place you are NOT downtown paying 15 dollars for a drink. If you're looking for a great place to get a great drink at a great price this is your place. If you act like a tool tben you get treated as such....if you are laid back you get treated as such.“

“This place has been revamped since the prior pics on google. Great bar that reasonably priced. The bar has available outlets to plug in chargers for cell phones. Bathrooms are clean. There is a pool table, dart board, booths, and outside seating. Super friendly bar staff!“

“Cute place! High quality ingredients. Excellent food and service!“

“We had dinner last night and it was AMAZING! Our friend the Chef Lou Valente creates magical morsels of deliciousness“

“Delicious food! Cooking it ourselves was cool too, but was getting frustrated that our grill got replaced 2ce for every serving. Like the grill just got to temp and seasoned, we just wanted to cook 1 serving all the way through before he made us swap,. i know yall wanna keep it clean, but relax a bit yall lol. Still amazing place, definitely going back“

“Uber eats the Salmon with Quinoa and Caesar salad. The portion size was good, the freshness was good quality as well. I wish the salmon had a little more seasoning and not so much of the sauce that comes with it. My asparagus were over done as well.“

“I found Octopus Peru while searching for a restaurant near Golden 1 Arena, and it was a fantastic choice! We started with drinks—my wife loved her “Amore del Mar” so much she had two, and my “Guava Affair” was incredible. I also tried the “Peruvian Spicy,” which had tequila, ginger, mango, and habanero syrup—the heat was perfect! We have a tradition of ordering oysters, so we couldn’t resist the ½ dozen, but the “Smokey Tuna Tostada” was the real star.

The portions were large, prices reasonable, and despite how busy it was, the staff was friendly and attentive. A highlight was chatting with the owner, who told us about his other restaurant, “Octopus Baja”—I’ll definitely be trying it next time we’re in midtown! The inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for a parents' night out without the kids before the show. Can’t wait to go back!“

“One Star- The food was not what I expected. The flavors of Italy was not there. The seafood pasta- clams and Musscles, we undercooked, shrimp and scallops were low quality and bland. 0 flavor. Sauce was very lacking in flavor. Couldn't tell if there was garlic in it or not. The bread had a distinct hint of burnt flavor on the back of my tounge. Not sure if you need to request bread or parmesan or what but I saw lots of people getting extra service. I definitely won't be back and maybe thats the point of giving some folks bad food or service is so their kind won't come back? Who knows but mission accomplished. I nor anyone I know will be back.“

“best ceviche in town and price“

“Great place! Very friendly community!“

“Went here happy hour on a Friday afternoon. Not crowded, great prices, fast service. Honestly, this place surprised me, the chicken sandwich (with the maple sweet heat) was really really good! Definitely worth checking out. And the happy hour specials are definitely worth it!“

“I’ve been here a few times. Great for brunch!“

“🙂👍 Comedy night is a blast!“

“Majority of the time the pizza is great!“

“Great neighborhood tap house with amazing pizza and a full bar!“

“Very good food. Great atmosphere.“

“If you’re looking for a scenic river view while enjoying delicious food, then look no further because Crawdads on The River offers all that and more! If you’re in the mood for something light, try their Ahi Nachos because they’re the best in town! Should you be looking for something unique, I recommend the chowder fries! Maybe you’re in the mood for a more traditional meal — try the cheeseburger! Sandwiches are served with house made chips, but for a dollar extra, you can upgrade to fries, which by the way are seasoned to perfection! If you’re in the mood for a drink or two, try the Sailors Mai Tai ( One is strong enough to give me a buzz), or try one of their icy cocktails. You may choose to dine indoors, at the bar, or outside on the heated patio. While dining on the patio you will enjoy the gorgeous view of the river, so be sure to snap a picture or two while you’re there! The staff is gorgeous and always very friendly! Plus on certain nights they offer comedy shows and live bands! So come out to Crawdads on The River to have some good food and breath taking views. As a tip, you have to experience a sunset at Crawdads because it’s absolutely gorgeous!“

“Good food and drink. I recommend the breakfast/ brunch menu.“
