Well, we had prompt service, but it was clearly a late 80s soundtrack and we sent back the lobster bisque for tasting off. Well, they didn’t have to. The soup was still left on the receipt I would have wished for a more courteous offer of a partial refund. I also see that the wait staff appear stressed, which transfers to the guests. I wish the service were better as this is our neighborhood bistro.

The food was absolutely amazing! The fillet mignon was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and melted in my mouth. The lobster was also perfectly cooked and when dipped in the Old Bay butter…excellent! We brought our own bottle of wine and enjoyed a table-side view of the Sacramento River during sunset. Our waiter was wonderful in provided recommendations for starters (crab bisque), which we enjoyed. Our waiter Miguel was a wonderful mix of checking on us, but also allowing us to enjoy our food and conversation.

My husband and I were disappointed. It was Valentine's Day and we wanted a great dinner. We had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated in spite of having a reservation. Once seated It took over 20 minutes to have our server come by. The ambiance was blan too. Will not be back.

Parking is terrible unless you opt for valet. Not to mention the over abundance of reserved valet parking spaces compared to general parking. And ADA parking is a joke! Nice job on the remodel but NOT user friendly when it comes to accessibility!!!

Been many times, but last night was the best experience by far. Restaurant was packed with people having a great time. Staff attitude was awesome; best I've seen over the years. One of the top Filet Mignon in Sacramento, real Mignon and cooked absolutely perfectly. Scallops and other dishes were great too. Bread pudding was real good. Only complaint; served small ice with old fashion, so it watered up.

Our server was very good. She kept us informed about our order. The Macadamia encrusted Halibut was not very good. The Halibut tasted mushy. Don't know if it was Atlantic or California Halibut.
