My husband and I decided to take a long drive from the bay to have dinner here for our anniversary…read more While we love a good drive, it's always nice when the destination is worth it and we found this place well worth it. The service is the type of service that makes you want to use words like "impeccable". Every thought was made and actioned throughout our experience there. Our server was personable and gave good recs. We loved the corn soup. He even came by and asked if we wanted it to be replaced with a new one because he didn't know we'd be starting with the salad first and wanted it to be hot for us. My lobster risotto was good, but I did feel like the lobster itself was bit more on the chewier side. For dessert, we had the soufflé cheesecake. I was thinking it would be like the Japanese cheesecake, but it was much more dense. It was still good! Other servers came by regularly to take away plates, fill waters, fold napkins. They even gave us some champagne to end our anniversary dinner with a toast. The restaurant itself is beautiful and it's not too far from the closest parking garage. Highly recommend.

I worked…read morein the restaurant industry for over a decade and his initiative to call and listen and make things right is a clear reflection of how much he cares about customer experience, and the pride he takes in the establishment. I really did not expect that, when we are back in sacramento well definitely give them another try! Original review below We came from out of town and were super excited to dine at Ella dining room for my husbands birthday. We got a nice variety from the menu based on recommendations from the server and what we had personally read as well. We had tartare, bone marrow and truffle brioche to start. We got the tartare and bone marrow first but never recieved the brioche. I'm not sure if they forgot or what happened but we asked our server and he was surprised that we didn't get it. I appreciate him comping it, we got the rest of our food and then my husband ordered another Cadillac margarita. It took over 15 minutes, no drink and we asked a separate server plus our own server. At this point we're done eating our entree which we did chicken and Cesar salad. the drink finally comes, and we ask for our food to go. We get our check, pay and as we got back to our hotel we realize they never gave us our to go food bag. We had lots left and were REALLY looking forward to leftovers. This meal was $200 and for a special occasion and we were forgotten about during an appetizer, a drink and also our leftovers I did call the restaurant and they still have it, but at this point is it worth it to walk back at 9pm at night.

Comfy, earthy cafe with plenty of food and drink options!…read more Visited on a Sunday afternoon after taking an exam nearby. Service was friendly and helpful. My order was finished quick. I picked up my drink across where I ordered and then I picked up my food from a separate place when the device they gave me buzzed. What I ordered: * Chia seed pudding $7 - coconut chia seed pudding with coconut flakes, strawberry jam, and granola. Generously stuffed into a round container. Delicious. Inspires me to make chia seed pudding at home. * Hot earl grey creme tea $4 - I added honey. Perfect balance of citrus and black tea flavors. Came in a big paper cup, but had the option of having it in a tea pot and pouring it myself. Note they have a card surcharge of 2.9%. I was able to find a comfy seat with a round table. There were a lot of people but still enough seating and not too loud inside. The music was relaxing. Loved all the natural light and cozy, earthy vibes. For fellow matcha lovers, I saw a sign they use Mizuba matcha. It was already late afternoon and I had a matcha latte earlier so I chose not to get a matcha latte. If I'm around the area and come back soon though, I'd love to try their seasonal summer offering of the coconut matcha cloud. They also had a pastry case next to the register. The savory items sounded great too, so there's lots of items I'm interested in trying from here. Would recommend if you're looking for a nice, spacious cafe to relax or do some work!

I guess that was my luck because I ended up at Old Soul and got an iced mocha with an extra shot of espresso instead of being upset at how far I parked. Anyhoo--- It was a great find!

I can't really tell if any which one is bigger than the other, but at least there were some outside seating options, if that is important to you. Same great coffee. Same old soul.

I can't remember the exact name, but it was smooth, refreshing, and one of the better coffee drinks I've had recently. I've also heard great things about their breakfast sandwiches, although I didn't get the chance to try one this visit. The atmosphere was welcoming, the coffee was excellent, and I can definitely see why people recommend this place. I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'm making sure to try one of those breakfast sandwiches.

You order at the counter then are given a number. Picked up some complimentary chips and salsa and waited. The salsas here were pretty good. Particularly like the mild red salsa. Fresh radish and jalapeños available too. I loved my California burrito. I added avocado to it. The asada were meaty and plentiful. Fries were crunchy yet not greasy. My mom loved the beans here. That's always a big deal with Mexican spots. The chilaquiles were delicious. I'd order that myself on the next visit. We didn't care for their scrambled eggs on the plate, could've went a bit softer on the scramble. Overall this place is a great local spot for Mexican eats. Affordable while still serving big portions and awesome bites. Cashier was super friendly and patient.

While gone, Joann will always be remembered…read more It was the start of my sewing era but the end for Joann. I started getting into sewing and we all know Joann is *THE SPOT* (or was) for all things fabric and crafting. Hoping that one day, it all changes and we all have a spot where we can go for our next sewing project. Pros: + Parking, I've never had an issue with finding a spot. + The staff are nice and knowledgable. You can get carried away talking about a project and I like that sense of a community in the crafting world. + You could feel and stretch the fabric in-person. + Huge selection of fabrics and yarn. Cons: + No working bathroom. + Floors were dirty and looked like they hadn't been mopped in months or years. + Prices were marked up and more expensive than Wal-Mart and Amazon. I didn't know that at first so I was jipped on some things but, I got some good deals during the closing sale. + Selling things that weren't really craft-related.

We especially like their own brand of yarn with good colors and material/texture. We don't usually buy fabric, but they have a ton of fabric and of every color, pattern, material, etc you can think of. Service was ok, the cashier was friendly, but there is something missing at Joann's, a kind of energy that's not here like at other stores. I personally prefer Michael's. Overall, this Joann's is a good arts and crafts store and we enjoy shopping here. Too bad this one might close like so many of the other Joann's.

Staxx have been a favorite in our family for years. My kids have loved their sweet breads since they were babies, so there's definitely a lot of nostalgia attached to this place for us.
