Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio.

"With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee

"Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights. Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates." - Michelin Guide

Canon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace. A 4% service fee is added to dine-in bills to help cover the cost of employee health and wellness benefits and to provide a kitchen equity stipend to our back-of-house staff.

Excellent food, service and we would return again. The additional fee for health and wellness was inappropriate and I was told it was correct. My information said otherwise.

Great ambience, when the server had time for us she was exceptional! The food was okay, we had the sword fish, and the carrots; the Resturant is family style, however, the servings are small. Be prepared to order 2 side dishes with your entrée.

The service was disastrously slow despite the seemingly good food. Fish served lukewarm. It seems like we were forgotten for 1/2 hr between our appetizers/first course and main.
