The Waterboy offers incredible steak, perfectly seasoned and cooked. The menu includes delicious dishes like crispy asparagus and potatoes. The restaurant is known for great tasting food, excellent service, and a top-notch dining experience in Sacramento. Inside is small and can be loud, but the lively atmosphere is part of the charm. The staff provides friendly and prompt service, and the kitchen excels in timing. Guests have enjoyed special dishes like steak tartar, which many consider the best they've had recently, and scallops with risotto, which are particularly delicious. The restaurant also offers wonderful fish specials and a good selection of wine. The food is so good that if someone learned there was better food elsewhere, they might not care. Many feel that the restaurant's consistency and quality are better than some Michelin-starred places, making it a favorite for special occasions. Visitors recommend trying the affogato for dessert and note that the lunch menu is highly recommended, especially for a great midday experience. The lively, pet-friendly patio with water bowls adds to the overall charm, making The Waterboy a top choice whether dining indoors or outside.
