Grange is a true gem in Sacramento. The menu is simple and elegant, showcasing delicious meals inspired by fresh, local ingredients. Service was top-notch—the staff is fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. They offer an excellent wine assortment, and the bar features two large TVs, making it a great spot to catch a game. The dining room is contemporary, comfortable, and spacious. It's incredibly convenient if you're staying at the amazing Citizen Hotel; otherwise, valet and street parking are available (though be mindful of the local surroundings). Personal Note: Years ago, Grange catered my wedding upstairs in the hotel, and it was first-class! Given my years of positive experiences, I'll definitely be back.

Nice place to have brunch. It was quiet and well lit. The service was very good and they were very attentive. Food selection was good even for a picky eater in our party. Portion size was reasonable.

Prices are pretty high for breakfast. Location not desirable. We sat next to a window and view was unpleasant . Staff was very nice and responsive. Ordered ricotta pancakes and they were drlicious and served hot. However syrup was delayed and by the time it came pancakes cold. I ordered a side of bacon and it was pre cooked and cold. Seemed lazy. Pre cooked Bacon that is ready for bloddy marys. Carnitas hash was extremely spicy but flavorless. More potatoes than pork. Restauran space is very cool!

I have always wanted to go here and Dine Downtown was a good opportunity, since I was l left expecting more. So the value from that was acceptable. The valet service was poor; I was not greeted and stood there while; waiting patiently while they finished a non-work related conversation. The hostess was hospitable and the waitress was friendly. The food is where I expected more. While it was cooked well, the flavors and temperatures of the steak we ordered were executed, but the presentation is not what I expected from a Michelin-recognized restaurant. We all happened to order the steak from the pre-fixed menu. One of us ordered medium well and the rest of us ordered medium rare. What came out was 1 medium rare and 2 medium wells. My friend was gracious enough to not make a fuss. Partly since we were served late and were hungry (I noticed a couple seated across from us, about 40-60 minutes later, received their food before we did). Not too much of an issue, but getting our order was. And the presentation between the 3 dishes were all different. 2 plates were garnished with microgreens. The spinach on two dishes were on the side, while the 3rd was stuffed under the steak. At this caliber of restaurant the presentation of the same dish should be identical. The dessert was delicious, but my friend did comment that their interpretation of their jelly donut pudding fell a little flat because they garnished it with sprinkles. She felt it should have been more polished or elevated. The food was delicious, don't get me wrong, but its not anything different from a similar restaurant that was not Michelin recognized.

Dine Downtown special--3 course meal for $45.00. I had the root vegetable soup (wonderful), the bistro filet with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach (vegetables were great, the sliced filet was served medium rare and not medium well as I requested). For dessert, I had the jelly doughnut bread pudding with peanut butter icecream (perfect size, nice presentation and delish). Also ordered was a side of brussel sprouts with nuoc cham, sesame seeds, mint and scallions....yummy but I was expecting the sprouts to be spicy from the nuoc cham...and they were not. Emily was our server. She was very friendly and attentive. I made the dinner reservation on OpenTable and made several attempts to call the restaurant to find out about parking. I also e-mailed the restaurant but never heard from them. We ended up using Valet which I believe is $5.00 an hour.

We went to experience the dine in downtown, and the set menu was amazing. I would love to come back to try some more items on the restaurant's standards menu. Also, great dirty martini!

We had an odd dining experience for sure. There was some special menu that night and we both ordered the steak meal. It came out cold for both of us. We asked if they could do something about it and she took our plates and brought them back cold. We ate the steak, as it was pretty good....it was just cold. When we placed our order neither of us liked the desserts that were listed on the special so we asked if there were other options. Our waitress was clear that there were no other options. When the desserts came out, I inquired again as I saw others with a different dessert. She said yes, there was an apple tart available. I mentioned to her that I had asked previously and she said nothing else was available. She should have given us the option to pay more for a different desert. She got very frazzled and it was an odd end to a meal. I had high hopes that the Grange would be a place we could dine regularly, but unfortunately, after this experience, we won't be back.

Food is mediocre and very expensive. We had seared tuna, sea bass, and pasta. The pasta was tasty, but the fish was bland with sauces that didn't really enhance the flavor of the fish. Salad was tasty. Restaurant was freezing cold in January.

This is our fav place in Sacramento. Outstanding service and food. Ambiance is elegant and they are very dog friendly.

Food was really bad. Service was great. Atmosphere is beautiful.
Very chic but casual bar and restaurant. Extensive menu of spirits and cocktails. Good wine selection too. We ate at the bar. Highly recommend the Grange burger. Enjoyed the humus and pita too.

Excellent service. Delicious food and a very nice selection of wines and spirits. I was duly impressed! The steak I had was quite pricy but it was well worth!

Passing through Sacramento on an Amtrak layover, we were drawn to the Grange for it’s unusual menu. Farm-to-table with an elegant twist! The options featured a unique combination of flavors and ingredients- persimmon and sweet potato sold me! And each dish was more amazing than the next. As we were traveling, we just ordered appetizers and were completely satisfied with everything. Of course we had to have the sweet potato and persimmons side. Both ingredients sweet, but not in competition with each other, while the miso added the perfect punch. The roasted beer with smoked halibut mousse appetizer was divine. Beets were cooked perfectly, the buttermilk dressing a perfect complement, but the trout roe added the pop. We also ordered the grilled chicory salad, a bitter and tangy partner to the previous plates. But the shrimp carpaccio was out of this world. Fresh, fresh, fresh shrimp, pounded flat and cut into a rectangle, made a base for the pile of excitement on top: pickled persimmon, radish, furikake, crispy rice, and chili crunch. Yes indeed, farm to table over the top. Then there was the service. Our server Xandra was efficient, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Even the bus boy Kameron offered excellent service. The place filled up while we were there, but we may as well have been the only guests - we never needed for anything during our very pleasant visit. Highly recommend this sophisticated yet down-to-earth restaurant in the Citizen Hotel downtown. Wish I lived in Sacramento!

Wonderful and creative cocktails and food. Service was excellent and seating was extra comfy. Loved it!

This is a Capital crowd hang out. A place to say all the things not said in the offices. Every day of the week its a Capital favorite. It stays busy with other crowds that are regular patrons of The Grange! The bar team has some fabulous humans. The cooks too. I’d give the Grange 10/5 stars, for surviving the “plandemic”and the problems that arise all around downtown. The park across from the Grange, well I’ll let the next reviewer speak if they want to on Cesar Chavez Park. 🫣
