Loved the cocktails. The vibe is also pretty amazing inside and outside.

Absolutely pathetic garbage service. 15 mins just waiting at the podium to get seated. Another 10 to 15 mins just to get a drink and the “restaurant” is empty. Pathetic service and shameful staff training. Never coming to this joke of an establishment again. How hard is it to pull a tap and pour some beer ? You people deserve to have this place to go out of business. It’s already halfway there won’t be long before it’s shuttered.

We thought this place just opened based on how empty it was on a Friday night, but apparently it’s been open for a year… well, after eating the food, it makes sense:
- pork belly: really chewy
- short ribs: dry
- flatbread: salty but the crust was good
- wings: good, but you can get better wings for cheaper

For the price, you would expect better food.

Came here for the first time last Friday. I'm surprised this place wasn't slammed packed. The atmosphere, the food, the service, music and cleanliness was 10/10. I made a reservation but didn't need it. My friend and I sat at the bar. Our bartender was Amanda. She was fun, friendly and makes amazing drinks! I initially came here because I am a sucker for a Happy Hour and this place did not disappoint! EXTENSIVE menu, nice portions, and the HH timeframe is convenient unlike other places. I would recommend this for a datenight or a girls night out for sure! Ask for Amanda!

We came here for a quick bite with a friend and really enjoyed it. My wife and I ordered the Pork Belly small plate and Short Rib large plate.
I also ordered a Curious George and I must say I absolutely loved the cocktail!

Julia was friendly and efficient, coming over to check on us and our food just at the right times. She filled our drinks at the perfect times, never letting our drinks go dry. Thank you Faith for making sure our drinks were good too. You’re smile was very welcoming and made all your customers comfortable at the bar. Great atmosphere.

My wife and I had a late night dinner date last night which was Friday night. They were having an R&B music night which was a nice experience. I think they should continue this for Friday/Saturday nights for the 30 & up crowds. Maybe add a soul music and/or poetry night. There needs to be a more upscale cultured atmosphere in Sacramento and I think this place can be it. The atmosphere and vibe were great! The food was on point and we can’t wait to go back.

I've had the pleasure of visiting here several times. I have never had an item off the menu that wasn't amazing. The owner came by our table and checked on us and was extremely personable. I can't recommend this place enough.

Lock and Key’s new brunch is sooo good! We are definitely coming back to try some of the other dishes that sounded amazing. We had the pork belly benedict, breakfast flatbread and beignets. Everything was to die for! Our server Heidi was great and attentive. Would highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back and try the dinner menu.
