The overall experience was terrible. We were seated about 10 minutes after our reservation time because they weren't ready for us when we arrived. Our server took our drink and appetizer order which came out quickly and was pretty decent. Then she put in our entree order and let us know she had to go on lunch and introduced us to the server who would be covering for her. This is where everything fell apart. The new server asked us if we would like a drink refill, brought out my husband's beer and never returned with the other drinks. She never checked on is or our entree order. 40 minutes later when our original server returned from lunch we still hadn't received anything. The manager was walking the dining room during that time as well and also never checked on our meals or bothered to find out why the fill in server never checked on us. Our original server went to see why we hadn't received our meals and then about 10 minutes after, they were finally brought out to us. At that point they had been sitting under a heat lamp for probably close to 30 minutes and everything was soggy and overcooked. She took all the plates away and asked that the entire table's entrees be remade. New meals were brought out 15-20 minutes later. We never got the salad course, or addional sides we ordered and the new entrees were of mixed quality. My husband and I sent ours back twice because the lobster was a rubbery mess and the steak was overcooked the first time and nearly raw the second. We finally ended up just telling them we didn't want the meal. Our family members got their meals and decided they were OK enough. Overall, we were there 2 hours and received one round of drinks, a beer refill, one appetizer, 2 of the 4 entrees ordered, and none of the salads or sides. The manger had a terrible attitude when we complained and confronted my husband at the table demanding to know what his problem was. I was excited to try this place but I definitely won't be back.

The restaurant only had a few tables seated and was not busy. The appetizers came out extremely fast, so fast that we were done with them before the drinks arrived! Drinks were too full and made a mess to drink; some had sugar on the stems, which made them sticky and frustrating to hold. We waited almost 15 minutes for a second round of drinks to arrive. Those who ordered seafood received their food much earlier than those who ordered steak. Those who ordered steak received a comment that their mashed potatoes would come out soon. The steak eaters found remnants of mashed potatoes on their plates, as if the potatoes had been removed because they sat there too long. Which is likely, as the steaks were mostly cold. All steaks were not cooked as ordered. A plate of steak and lobster was cold and sent back, so most of us were done before they received their food, which was almost correctly cooked. The 3rd round of drinks also took a very long time; we could see every round sitting at the server area for a long time. The telephone kept ringing and was annoying! Those who had garlic bread received their bread long after they had finished eating their pasta. It was my birthday, and they provided a fun sparkler candle to celebrate. All of the staff were very nice and helpful.

I received an email from open table saying I didn't attend my reservation and did a no show which is far from the truth. I arrived early and was seated immediately. It seems like open table is trying to say I did a no show which, again, is far from the truth.

Food was good, however the service was super slow. Waited a total of an hour for drinks and food to come out once ordered. Everything was staggered coming out.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at station 16. It's always a favorite, but our server was such a delight. She was very kind and accommodating when we needed ice for our shrimp so it didn't go bad. Can't wait to visit again.

If they are going to offer brunch, they need to step up their coffee game. Brunch overall was just fine... but we should have stuck with a more traditional brunch spot in town. We really appreciated that they took reservations, but it seems that brunch isn't quite their game, yet.

Food was excellent! Quite a selection. Mussels appetizer has a delicious broth. Blackened salmon cooked just right crispy blackened layer and moist fresh flakes. Second time enjoying this restaurant with friends who were quite impressed! Con- appetizer came after main dishes placed.

Service was extremely slow— delays with drinks, appetizers, and our order being taken. Had to ask about our appetizer, which took about 40 min to come out and came at the same time as our entrees. We had to flag out waitress down to take our food order after she took orders from two other tables who had been seated 15-20 min after us. She was very pleasant everything was tasty, but the service experience was pretty poor.

Great food and drinks but my favorite bartender Devin was not there and he introduced me to the Bennet which was expertly made by him but unknown to the bartender on my second visit

The food is clean and fresh. Bathrooms are private and probably the cleanest in Sacramento. Nice vibe atmosphere with being able to sit outside.
The drinks and food was good. Koo environment, but I usually like to hang out on the bar. Pricey I think an old fashioned was like 24 bucks but it was really good.

A group of 6 of us decided to try this place. Wish I would of read the reviews closer. Some of the seafood was spoiled, guessing they are not going through inventory with the limited people visiting. Went on a Saturday night and would guess 90% of tables empty. Will not be returning.

Comically bad experience here
Ceviche was incredibly bland and rubbery
Cajun pasta felt way too spicy. Not an issue in itself depending on how you like your Cajun food, but I feel like that should be denoted on the menu
Molten lava cake isn't really molten lava cake. It does come with a generous scoop of ice cream and it's not the worst thing in the menu
Service was bad with dishes taking a long time to come out (not necessarily their fault) to our server not bringing us simple requests (forgot to bring out sodas until halfway through the meal, charged us twice for an app, straight up never brought us limes we requested). Restaurant wasn't particularly busy when we were there, was a bad cherry on top of a mid experience
