“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.“

“#AmazingBar #ClaytonClubSacramento 🥰“

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

“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.“

“We had a work dinner at Canon in East Sac, and it absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance — elevated but comfortable, with a great energy that makes conversation easy and the evening feel special without being stuffy. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor — creative without being overcomplicated. It’s clear there’s real intention behind the menu, and everything we ordered felt thoughtfully prepared. Canon is one of those places that works just as well for a professional dinner as it would for a date night or celebration. Incredible food, great vibe, and an overall experience that didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.“

“What a fantastic meal! We are actually still dining as this review is being written. We ordered deviled eggs and truffles frites, they were amazing. My hubby ordered the burger and I ordered tge pork shank. OMG (GOSH!) it was exceptionally delicious and just plain good! We will return as this was our first visit. Tgank you for a wonderful meal and experience. Matt & Sofia“

“FIRST TIME VISITING LOVED EVERYTHING WE DEFINITELY RETURN SOON. DEFINITELY RECCOMEND YOU TO ALL I KNOW. THANK YOU.“

“great service and wonderful selection of booze“

“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.“

“Majority of the time the pizza is great!“

“We’ve been going there for a few years and everything on their menu is wonderful“

“I always feel like I was in Mexico!“

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

“Finally got the chance to come with a friend for lunch after strolling around the farmer’s market. This restaurant is beautiful inside and out, has bar seating, tables, and a spacious patio underneath lovely midtown trees. The inside is super bright, lots of decor on the walls, flowers everywhere, and the energy was great.

We came on an early Saturday afternoon with no reservation but were seated after 20 minutes. Even then, the restaurant was packed! I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if you plan to come later in the evening and/or have a large group with you (it was only two of us).

I decided to order the soup of the day, which I believe was a squash/butternut squash soup, Parmesan and truffle fries, and my friend ordered the truffle macaroni and cheese with the “the hipster” cocktail. They also brought complimentary rosemary bread and oil. The bread was soft, the cocktail was great and very decent portion, the soup was perfectly balanced and went great with the toasted bread. The fries were a little cold but tasty and came with garlic aioli and ketchup. My friend said her macaroni and cheese was yummy and she would order again. The menu is full of options and we will definitely be back to try more things. Must come if wanting either a romantic night out or a lovely dinner with friends!“

“When we walked in I wasn't sure about all of the amazing reviews we'd read, but the food was SO GOOD! The Carne Asada fries lived up to the hype, the service was nice and the space had a lot to do. Definitely coming back for dinner!“

“Fun relaxing good energy great vibes and great food and drinks“

“Once again Oz knocks it out of the park. We took 30 of our Black belt class for our 16th annual Korean dinner. Managers Phillip and Sean insured that everyone was taken care of. The service was fantastic and the food was Great can't wait till next year Tony R.“

“Had some delicious food while watching live music. Ordered a bunch of food. Everything tasted great.“

“best ceviche in town and price“

“Great place! Very friendly community!“

“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!“

“My son and daughter treated me to a birthday lunch here. I loved it! Our waitress was amazing. The food was really good and I finally got to see inside. I've always wondered what it looked like inside. It's definitely a great vibe.“

“Creole Soul Restaurant and Bar is a gem in Sacramento. The food is flavorful, well seasoned, comforting, and generously portioned, and the staff are warm and welcoming. If you love Creole comfort food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

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

“Today I had a chicken, fries, and Mac N cheese with chicken bites. Chicken sandwich was really good, really good chicken. Fries was meh, nothing special. Now the Mac N Cheese with chicken bites was fire! 🔥🔥 definitely became an instant favorite. Definitely recommend this place. Good place to hangout with friends and have some drinks.“

“Highly recommended! We tried several small plates and had cocktails. All were lovely. The Grilled Halloumi and Mediterranean Plate were exceptional and the owner came to our table to explain each dip and flavoring. The Filet Mignon Skewers were wonderful and the sumac spicing was nuanced and delicious. Flavors were balanced with salt and sweet, everything was delicious. The Negronis were excellent too! We will be back to try more.“

“🙂👍 Comedy night is a blast!“

“I am excited to have a restaurant like this in Sacramento. It felt like I was near the coast. I love the decor and the vibe.

My friend and I shared the mahi mahi aguachile and the red snapper. The aguachile was really good. The snapper was okay, but I was looking for more flavor.

I will be back to try some other dishes, so many of them sounded good.“

“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.“

“Me gustaria Que pusieran MAs cumbia y menos salsa 💃 pero me encanta ir a vailar ahi 😍🥰“

“.25 games, good beers, etc.“

“The food is amazing. The veggie quesadillas are out of this world. If you are looking for a great drink, visit Stacy at the bar. We have been here quite a few times and have never been disappointed. We have had 2 events catered and everyone loved the food. Thank you for the great food and service!“
