I heard it was great for after seeing a play. On previous plays we saw their full-page ad in the playbill. We make a reservation for Saturday after the play and were told they weren't doing the play special. They did honor it but limited. Bar tender was very good trying to make up for things, but the place is more of a business bar environment.
My friend and I took advantage of the 2 for 1 dinner special. Bar was packed so it was a bit noisy but drinks food and dessert were great. Parking was even included. Great deal. Would highly recommend
Had a 6pm reservation and they had a table waiting with a reserved for "my name" on it which I thought was pretty classy. We opted for the dinner for two $85 special which included bread, Caesar salad, entree choice (Pork or Pasta), dessert and a bottle of red or white wine. The price also includes comped Valet parking in their garage. We had 7:30 show tickets at the SAFE Performing Arts Center around the corner so we had plenty of time... The waiter arrived at 6:20-ish and I ordered and also asked for some water and let him know we had 7:30 show tickets. I'm always impressed with waiters that take the order by memory which he did, although the only thing different I asked for was for one salad to have the dressing on the side and if it could be oil & vinegar instead of caesar dressing. We ordered 2 pasta dinners and a bottle of red. The salad came out with Caesar dressing on the side- and they eventually brought out the O&V upon another request. The waiter also came back to ask again- "you had the pork, right?" No, 2 pastas. Oh, OK. Dessert arrived at 7:15 - If we didn't have a show, it would have been great with a cup of coffee or some more of the wine. All in all, the food was good, the price was right, location was perfect, the service was meh and a 5:30 reservation would have worked better.
We went to the special dinner before a play. Check in was easy, service was fast, food choices included vegetarian option, and we could hear ourselves easily!! Valet was also handled smoothly.
Very good service; attentive waitress; very tasty food; fun people watching ambiance. The only downside was a very limited menu. One meat, one fish, one chicken, one pasta. That being said, our food was well prepared and flavorful.
Bait and Switch. They advertise in all of the Sacramento Broadway programs/playbills for the Sacramento Broadway at the SAFE Performing Arts Center and for the Sacramento Broadway Music Circus (on L St) at the UC Davis Pavilions (on H St). Yet, they do not honor their advertised special offering. 1) They took our reservations via OpenTable. 2) They accepted our notes in OpenTable. 3) We confirmed with them via text the day before our reservations. 4) They advertised in both the Broadway Sacramento programs/playbills (in the Broadway Sacramento & Broadway Music Circus) Dinner for Two $85. In both of these ads there is zero mention (even in their fine print) of it ONLY being for performances held at the Performing Arts Center. This is very misleading & not at all appreciated. This is a bait & switch! Plus, they did not reply to the direct messages we sent on Saturday; so now we place this out publicly as our review four days later. The Sheraton Hotel and the Public Market Bar does not care.
Great dinner. Pre fixe three course meal was very good and a great value. Will definitely go back
We have dined here as a group of 6 numerous times before a our Broadway show. I do not feel as if they are properly staffed for these evenings, as we are on a time schedule. Our reservation time is 5:30. Wait Staff is good, drinks take to long, Kitchen gets backed up as all our meals come out at different times. The Show Special Dinner is a great deal if you like the 2 options and Red/White Wine. Best Bargain, and this time we learned it would have included Valet Parking. We dined there 2 weeks prior and had not heard this. The deserts are delicious, but with the lag time in getting dinner served and receiving the dessert, let alone our bill... we race to get over to the Theater. The manager stopped by our table that night and explained the Valet, as well as how we would know the dinner options in Open Table - under Experiences. Next time I will remember this. But our next show is not until May.
Everything was great, the service was wonderful and attentive; Our server, Pru was fabulous. The ambiance was good. Our steaks were off by one level. I ordered the steak medium-rare and it came medium and my friend ordered her steak medium and it came medium-well to well. The dessert was delicious, flour less chocolate tort. The cabernet sauvignon was ok.
Monica was our server and she was wonderful! We will be back on February 22 and hope to have her as our server again. Food was great. We went to Hamilton and the names of our food matched the meaning of the broadway show we attended. I wish we had come to the Sheraton during our other broadway shows.

With parking prices going up, we decided to try this $75 meal deal. We LOVED that the meal was themed to the play that we were seeing ("Hamilton") with Sam Adams Braised Beef Short Rib and Boston Tea Party Cream Pie. The entree was beautifully plated. They must have run out of the dessert as we were served cheesecake instead. It was OK but would have been perfect with what we were expecting instead. House wine was good as well. Our waitress was especially attentive! Service was a bit slow but it was SUPER busy so not her fault. We arrived at 5:50 and left a little after 7; good timing to get to our seats. I highly recommend booking at 5:45 so you aren't stressing about missing your curtain time. We LOVE our date nights at the Broadway series. Adding this made the evening stellar! Will do this again!
This was a really convenient way to dine and park for the theater. Food was tasty. We chose the package that includes valet, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, and a bottle of wine. Would have liked to have had a little more menu flexibility, but overall it was a good experience and definitely a great value.
FYI they don't tell you that you need to dine in for happy hour 1/2 price. So I ordered 2 order of wings and got changed full price. I had to ask why I didn't get half off then he told me why. Plus the menu doesn't state that. I would of tip him but he didn't deserve it very bad service Go Else Were. Never even say hi like i didn't exist. He said about 15-20 min. It took 40 min. Everything he say is double. You only get 7 pieces of wings for $18. WARNING it's not wrong to warn people. Very disappointed ? Happy Hour became Unhappy Hour You've been Warned ⚠️

We saw the Dinner for Two for $60 advertised in a Broadway Sacramento playbill. The service was great, dinner was great. Our bill was for $81...not $60. The manager told us this ‘deal' was from last season. One hour later...the same ad was still running in the playbill. We were surprised and disappointed that the Sheraton did not honor their advertisement.
