“The most amazing, farm to fork seasonal menu! The dishes are both creative and sooo delicious! Magpie is in my top 3 places to eat in Sacramento! Come hungry so you can try both small & large plates and don’t miss out!“

“Never disappointed by any part of the experience. Great staff, good times.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Urban Plates! The food was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was made with real care. The menu has amazing options for everyone, and everything we ordered was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a nice relaxing atmosphere.

A special thank you to Patty, who provided exceptional service. She was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the menu, and she checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Patty truly made our visit memorable, and we appreciated her positive energy and professionalism.

I highly recommend Urban Plates and will definitely be coming back!“

“It was a late night dinner with a friend, which was pleasant, tv's weren't to loud, as well as the scene. Good place for any kind of company. Food was pretty quick out and was on point, the sweet potatoe fries with truffle sauce is definatly what I'll order next time, it's not on the app list to order, but I like making for my own creations, if you don't mind paying a little extra, but whats that to deny a food pleasure...lol....also they sign your parking ticket at the front desk when you head out, so don't forget to bring it, like my friend did🤐“

“We ordered catering from Field-n-Flame Midtown for a corporate event and it exceeded expectations. The food arrived right on time (huge bonus: no delivery fee), and everything was still hot and incredibly fresh. The selections were beautiful and unique, not your standard catering spread, and it really elevated our lunch.

Several attendees asked where it was from, which says it all. Looking forward to the next time lunch is catered by Field-n-Flame. Until then, I’ll happily be stopping by their Midtown location!“

“From the Food to the Cocktails , this is a must go to ! The staff goes above and beyond in customer service to boot ! Win , Win !“

“A wonderful evening of great food, personal service and casual fun atmosphere.“

“It was a great time and awesome food! The atmosphere, staff and Chef/owner Chris Barnum-Dann made it an experience I’d never had before. Thank you!“

“Best Sea Bass dish I have ever had.“

“Delicious down to earth food. Simple & Delicious, served nice and hot, great staff - never let you run out of coffee.“

“Food was yummy! Great atmosphere! Easy parking for the area. Service at the bar was nice, attentive, fun watching the craft drinks be made why we ordered different courses to share:) Didn’t leave room for dessert lol“

“I wish I knew the name of our server. He was amazing and quite knowledgeable. The chicken sandwich was gigantic!“

“Had dinner here on 1-15-25 party of 3. Very good service. Espresso martinis were great! Started with artisan bread and Brussel sprouts. It was a little weird to have the pancetta on the side vs mixed into the dish but everyone agreed we really liked them. Then we had Dungeness crab arrabiata, duck fat seared scallops and the short rib. Favorite dish was the short rib! The arrabiata had a good variety of seafood but I wasn’t a huge fan of the squid ink tonarelli. The scallops we tasty just tiny and too few, so that was the least liked dish. Finished off with a flourless chocolate cake that was good. Next time we want the brie appetizer! I’d dine here again but it hasn’t moved into my top 10. We each had a cocktail to start and shared a modest bottle of Pinot. Out the door $400.“

“This is a great place to eat and drink! The atmosphere is upscale without the prices being out of control, at least for a business traveler, which I think is their primary audience. I wish they were more explicit about dietary restrictions on the menu, which is basically silent on this topic.“

“The staff is always really nice. On of the very Best burgers in Sacramento. Excellent beer selection and the staff is always happy to let you taste a couple before deciding. Conveniently located right across from Gunther's in case you want to people watch or be entirely decadent and get ice after.“

“Awesome!! Great food and service!“

“3/5 Tower Cafe is proof that if you put enough plants in a room, people will forgive a lot of culinary sins. It’s basically an off-brand Rainforest Cafe. The scenery? 10/10 immersive jungle clutter. The food? Let's just say the plants have more flavor“

“Had a great time. Staff was quick and accommodating. We have some great food and drinks.“

“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.“

“wow your website is trust worthy Hi! I saw your restaurant website—great work. I can help you build a custom mobile app to boost orders, simplify reservations, and keep customers engaged with features like push notifications and loyalty rewards. 👉 Let’s connect and take your restaurant to the next level with a powerful app“

“Swabbies is one of my favorite locales. The mahi-mahi tacos and pirate punch cocktail are my favorites. They have great music which is starting up soon atmosphere is casual and fun. It's right on the river. If you're going to see one of the Bands I would recommend buying your tickets early plus you save a few bucks on Eventbrite. Would highly recommend for a fun afternoon or evening some good food and drink and there's an area to dance up near the stage.“

“I took the family here to try something different and overall it was a good experience. My kids and husband liked their food. I decided to be adventurous and order the squash with wild rice and sadly I did not like it at all. The manager noticed at the end of our meal that I had barely touched it and she discounted our entire bill. She said she felt bad that she didn’t notice sooner because she would have brought me something else. She had just started her shift. I should have asked what her name was because that was top notch service and she is the reason this is a 5 star rating instead of 2. Our server wasn’t great, but management made up for it.“

“We came for the veterans day meals, but will definaly be come back, the foods is amazing with some of the best taste in the thai-mango salad it came with 6 shrimp. The burger was huge and was cooked to prefecture and tasted amazing. The wings were juicy and crunchy.
The staff was friendly and on top of everything!
Nate and Isabella were both friendly, great service and made us feel welcome.

They also have a dog friendly patio with a meal for the puppy, and it's a good meal.“

“What an incredible experience!
This truly feels like a hole in the wall but the inside is beautiful and intimate. What you'll see on a menu is a small fraction of what is truly available to you. That move quickly and diligently to get you settled and will make sure you get something you'll love. It will definitely feel a bit overwhelming at first trying to keep everything straight but trust your gut. They'll make you any drink you ask for and have a great selection of appetizers, main courses, and dessert.

If you want an intimate setting with polite, jovial, and knowledgeable staff and stellar food definitely give this place a try.

2 cocktails, an appetizer, two main courses, and 2 desserts were about $180“

“Bartender did a great job. Quick, Efficient, and Pleasant.“

“Great restaurant. Always have a wonderful experience. They constantly check in and deliver amazing food.“

“Food and service was amazing“

“Great Food! Love the music! Triangulight Loves playing music here too!“

“Great beer, friendly vibes, and yummy food. This is one our favorite stops whenever we feel like hanging out to have a beer, or a hotdog late at night. Everything on the food menu is unique and really worth trying, everything I’ve tried is so good. The best thing yet is the atmosphere, always so welcoming!“

“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.“

“I visited House Kitchen & Bar last week for a work event, and the experience was impressive from start to finish. Organizing or attending corporate gatherings can often be hit-or-miss regarding hospitality, but the staff here was outstanding. They were professional, genuinely polite, and friendly, ensuring our group was well taken care of throughout the evening.
The highlight of the night, however, was the food. I ordered the short rib dinner, and it was nothing short of amazing. The execution of the dish was perfect—flavorful and tender enough that I genuinely wished I could have ordered seconds or even thirds.
If you are looking for a venue that combines high-quality cuisine with attentive, A+ service, I highly recommend dining at this establishment. It is a fantastic choice for both business functions and personal dining in Sacramento.“

“I went to this venue for a large networking event. The food was great, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the space was very open. Different types of seating spaces were available for your desired level of privacy and level of music. The DJ was playing great music for dancing too.“

“Great service, staff was extremely attentive even with a large group. Enjoyed preservation of old lighting with decor of bar. Food was mainly American dishes, few Asian flavor inspired dishes, would not recommend for vegetarians due to limited options .“

“Best cocktails, small bites and service! Jon Russo is awesome!“

“Great karaoke and the food was very good. The service was excellent. I love the space in the back.“

“Went there for my birthday dinner. The food was so good and the service was great.“

“I travel for business and have visited MANY restaurants and actually many BJs. Arden is peak in performance for BJs. Amazing friendly staff (Joe was great at my last visit!). Food is always on point. Clean and upkept. This is how a restaurant/brewhouse should be. 😀“

“Great service, thank you all🥰“

“The Star Lounge is located on 2719 K street in Sacramento inside Hyatt Hotel. The ambience is sophisticated, exclusive, and oooh-la-la. The service that we received was exceptional. The restaurant offers creative cocktails including small bites for happy hour. The interior design features a historic antique look, which is mysterious and elegant. The bartender was extremely attentive and super fast, and Ryan Seng (the manager) went over and beyond to accommodate our party and provided excellent hospitality. We were particulary impressed with Ryan who anticipated all our needs, considering we were a party of 20. My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and we wanted to host an intimate cocktail hour with some close friends and everything was perfect. Overall the experience was great and everyone had a great time. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy the happy hour and the full menu and I highly recommend the Star Lounge.“

“Captain Crab is one of the best seafood boils in Northern California! Absolute great food and good customer service. 100/10“

“JOSH!!!!! Best server, cleaner and CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! Tell him Katy and Pete appreciated him so much!!! He made our day!!’ You are so lucky to have him as your employee!!! Happy Holidays to you all!! I“

“Food awesome! Atmosphere, awesome! Drinks awesome! Would I come back? Yes!!“

“Food is good for my first visit. The customer service is terrible so that explains the four stars! They should consider hiring people that smile
Explains the menu and can upsell. The two young ladies are very disconnected and stand offish. They seem like they are scared of engaging with customers. I would have left had I not really wanted to try this place.

I ordered the PH protein pancakes combo. And then I asked what drinks do they have besides what is in the menu since I seen the fountain drinks and eventually got her to explain the BCAA.

The food is hot, fresh, flavorful and plated nicely. The BCAA is perfect to add to this meal.

I will likely eat here more often I just hope the staff can be more friendly and welcoming instead of making others feel like a burden to their phone use time.“

“I had a great lunch today while I charged my car across the street. I was happy to find out they have gluten free buns that are also dairy free ( I think they were also egg free and soy free). And I was able to substitute vegan Gouda cheese for the regular cheese. They inquired about allergies and were able to clean the prep area to help reduce cross contamination, and read lables on rolls, dressing, etc. I am quite satisfied!“
