Beautiful atmosphere. Worst. Service. Ever. After 20 minutes without so much as an acknowledgement, we left our table and went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack.read more

The Scene
Simple cream-colored walls and modern art complement the spectacular river view. Couples vie for the few tables by the windows overlooking the Sacramento River, while families opt for tables in the front room with a view of Old Sacramento. Uncomplicated elegance makes for a romantic destination. Deferential hosts do not quite make up for sporadic waitstaff.

The Food
California cuisine that experiments with Pac Rim influences, for the most part, proves successful. Crispy duck empanadas start the meal off well with their sweet, tangy berry-reduction sauce. Grilled salmon is slightly dry, not crisp on the outside, but tender and meaty in the middle. Moist pork tenderloin would be satisfying if the apple-brandy sauce paired with it wasn't so cloyingly sweet. Rich turtle tart is chocolate-heavy with truffle-like filling, but the pecan crust is worth eating on its own, if just for its nuttiness and hint of cinnamon.
