    Steak and Trout
    Connie B.

    Cañon There were plenty of tables but we still had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated with a reservation. The ambiance was nice. We ordered the Cured albacore crudo which was a little fishy but you can taste the yuzu with a kick. This was nothing special and not worth. The Tots was the best thing on the menu. Crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. They were not greasy and the Mole has a ton of flavor that added complexity to the dish. I loved the pickled onions cause it adds acidity but I would not come back to this restaurant for it but I would recommend if you wanted to come eat here. The Trout had a cool presentation but that was the only thing going for it. Flavor itself was bland and just not desirable. The Steak was good but I have had better at steakhouse. Overall nothing stood out and I would not be coming back but don't get me wrong. It's not bad but not good.

    Tots with Mole sauce

    You can easily tell why this place is Michelin Bib Gourmand--we spent just over $200 on dinner and it was WAY better than many meals I've spent a lot more on. We arrived early for our reservation and waited at the bar with a cocktail. Cocktails were good, though not super distinctive. The food is where this place REALLY shines. The tots with mole sauce? I could eat those every day. The scallop crudo was both rich and refreshing. And the duck legs? *insert drool emoji here* The vibe is warm and lively, and that's true of the staff, too. So welcoming and kind. Our waitress even gave us a great recommendation for where to get a nightcap in Sacramento afterwards (Butterscotch Den, so fun!)

    I love how accessible this Michelin Star restaurant is, while ingredients are fresh and dishes are innovative, theres a mix of dishes and price points that people can enjoy, for lunch, the bar, etc. We went in February for a birthday dinner so the dishes were still centered around winter ingredients like squash, cabbage, truffle, citrus, etc. We ordered the bread, scallop crudo, chicken for the main dish, miso cabbage and potatoes for sides. Then the 50/50 chocolate mousse with salted caramel for dessert. We also got their version of old fashioned, and the bartender made a hibiscus mocktail for me. The best thing was the miso cabbage & dessert in my opinion. The chicken was fantastic, the crispy skin was divine, wish it had more of the jus and squash shavings! The service was great, casual service and still professional. The server was knowledgeable about the menu. Loved the cedar wood ceilings and the black accents. It's a beautiful restaurant, but one thing is I wished the seats were more comfy, some people had more armchairs but we didn't.

    Had a great experience at Canon! I absolutely loved the chicken drumsticks! The flavor and char on the outside was so unique and delicious, what a creative combo to put mole on the chicken. Also, the squash was surprisingly good! I don't usually like squash but this one was so creamy and rich in flavor, I really enjoyed this. The outdoor seating was cute and cozy and the service was spectacular. Highly recommend! Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 Marcels foodie score: easy 5

    We were staying downtown for a work event and made a reservation to try Canon. Kyle took great care of our table and gave us solid recommendations. We ended up ordering the tots, oysters, citrus salad, peas, asparagus, steak, and finished with coffee and the rice pudding. Everything felt unique and thoughtfully prepared. Dinner had a relaxed pace, and the ambiance was casual without being too loud. Street parking was tough on a Friday evening and we had to call ahead to let them know we'd be a few minutes late, so plan accordingly.

    This place wasn't bad, but I think for Michelin guide I might've gotten my expectations a little too high. Price wise, very fair, especially for what you get. The restaurant is well decorated both inside and the patio. Our server was very kind. I particularly did not like many of the sides we got. But to each their own, maybe others would love it! We got the badger flame beets, scallop crudo, tots, butternut squash, and shrimp beignets. The crudo was refreshing and I liked the squash, but I wasn't a big fan of the rest. For mains, we got duck & New York strip. The steak was the best. The duck was not as tender as I probably would've liked. We finished with dessert, which I think we got a rice pudding and cheesecake. The cheesecake had very sour kumquats that we ended up taking off. But the cake itself and pudding were good

    My friend and I wanted a nice evening meal together so we chose Canon. We're so glad we did. Service was great! Our server Kyle helped provide insight on the menu and our drinks when we asked. We were uncertain about the portions so he helped us with that as well. We ordered the tots (texture was on point), citrus salad, oysters, pickles, drumsticks (very tender), and beets. We really appreciated getting new clean plates for our fish and asparagus dish. We were seated outside on the patio and it was very nice. They had some heaters to keep everyone warm and noise level was not overly loud or disruptive.

    A chef-driven neighborhood restaurant featuring sharable and seasonal cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment. Lively bar with artisanal cocktails, and their menu focuses on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients designed for sharing. In 2025, Canon earned its 6th Michelin Bib Gourmand this is a highly acclaimed restaurant.

    Shrimp Beignet
    Vivian L.

    I think this is a great place for a date night or celebrating an anniversary. I made an appointment just in case and we were seated right away. Parking just might be difficult since it's downtown. We ordered 4 dishes between the two of us and it was more than enough! We enjoyed both of the chicken dishes we got. The drumsticks had this very herby, Mediterranean-like flavor and the meat came right off the bone. The whole chicken wasn't dry at all (was still good the next day) and paired really well with the broccoli dish. The shrimp beignets were decent, but we couldn't really taste the shrimp.

    Cozy seating outdoors

    The date spot to top them all! We save Canon for special occasions, but when we do go, we go all out. Their service is attentive, their ingredients are fresh, and the environment allows you to truly enjoy one of the best meals you'll ever have. The menu changes often, so I won't get too specific of what to order. Canon has a few staples I can recommend: the tots, the drumsticks, and the oysters. The tots are crispy and sit on a bed of yummy mole. The drumsticks are scrumptious, covered in a spiced sauce and sit atop a yogurt sauce. And the oysters!! With their homemade vinegars in the cutest droppers, the oysters hit the spot every time. Overall, you're in for a treat! Love this spot and we can't wait to come back!

    Chicken drumsticks
    Mayur V.

    I had a good experience at Cannon. To start, we made reservations and my wife and I were seated promptly. Wait time (for food) was about 20-25 minutes. The ambience was nice and peaceful. The lighting was great. We started with the sourdough bread with cultured butter. This was a 5/5. The bread was heavy in a good way, and the butter was just excellent. We also got the chicken drumsticks, which were melt-in-your-mouth delicious and they fell apart perfectly. The only downside was there were just two! For the main meal, we got the steak medium-rare, but it was about a 3.5/5. It felt overcooked and nothing special. The appetizer overall was great though, and we enjoyed it. The mocktail was also a nice touch. All in all, it was about a 3.8/5 dining experience for us. The only thing we didn't really like was the layout of the food/menu--everything is meant to be "shared," so you have to order meats, vegetables, and sides separately, which felt odd.

    We're so pleased with our dining experience at Canon. Canon offers relaxed yet intimate and romantic vibes and in my opinion is the perfect date night spot. The service was excellent and the food was spot on. Dishes are served family style and the portions for most dishes are more than enough for two people to share. We look forward to coming again and are excited to see upcoming menu changes as we dive into spring!

    Pork collar with peanut habanero sauce
    Alex S.

    Our family dined at Canon for the first time to celebrate a special occasion. They have an intriguing seasonal menu and family style servings. We were all excited to try them out, and they did not disappoint! The restaurant is a bit tucked away in East Sac. Inside and outside on the patio, it's a beautiful restaurant. The patio is very comfortable and barely feels like you're outside. It's entirely covered with shades that get rolled up once the sun goes down. We had reservations and were greeted and seated right away. The food came out in a timely manner, and we ended up ordering in courses - appetizers, entrees than dessert. There were five of us so we ordered three small plates and two entrees to share. We were indecisive about dessert, so we ordered all four of them! No regrets! Everything was delicious. Potato wise - we all preferred the tater tots in mole to the steakhouse style. The Dutch crunch roll was shareable. The tomatoes were fresh and delicious. The steak and pork collar were both beautifully cooked. The pork was exceptional with a super unique and flavorful sauce. Each of the desserts were tasty as well. Sopapillas were the crowd favorite! Looking forward to returning someday to try another of their seasonal takes! So glad we finally made time to dine here.

    The steak and smoked whole chicken were both phenomenal!!!!

This is the entrance to the speakeasy. In prior years the club was open only to members but it is now open to the public. Ambiance: I visited post New Years so they still had some holiday decorations up but really enjoyed the upper class feel. It really doesn't feel like any of the speakeasies I have been to before as it was much brighter and more open space but enjoyed it nonetheless. Food/Drinks: I strictly stayed with Espresso Martinis but they were prepared pretty well. The flatbreads also tasted amazing! They also had a list of different holiday themed drinks for those inclined for some holiday cheer. Service: The service here was super quick. The server came to our table so we did not have to head over to the bar. They came a couple of times to check on us but were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the drink options!

It seems like they're limiting how many people are let in at once, and honestly, I'm here for that kind of crowd control.

We also all tried the shooters, I had the Nesbitt, and he got the Perry. Every drink was delicious, no complaints from any of us. The lady helping us with our order was super sweet, patient, and friendly, and the guy who seated us deserves a shoutout too. There was a small mix-up, but he made it right and got us that perfect fireplace seating. Gold star service. Overall, I'd rate the experience a solid 9 out of 10. And can we talk about the bathroom for a sec? A black toilet paired with deep green walls? Obsessed. Trophy Club is absolutely becoming one of my favorite spots. Now I just need to check it out when it's not in theme mode... but let's be honest, I live for the theme nights.

The space is small and intimate with serious speakeasy vibes that remind me of some of the cocktail bars in San Francisco. The drink presentations are gorgeous, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into both the flavor and how everything looks when it arrives at the table. They have a great selection of gin, rum, champagne, and whiskey, and I often lean on the staff for drink suggestions because they're really good at recommending something you might not normally order. A few times now they've pointed me toward a drink that ended up being a hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's always a great time whether you're catching up with friends or doing a date night. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the cocktails. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's part of the experience. Also, because the space is small and intimate, reservations fill up quickly and they do require a deposit, which goes toward your final bill. Helpful tip: make a reservation ahead of time and don't be afraid to ask the staff for drink recommendations -- they're excellent at guiding you to something special. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.
