    Stopped in for an early dinner on a Thursday afternoon after wine tasting in the area. From the moment we entered to when we left, we were treated with excellent service and felt at home. Leon, who took our order and made some excellent recommendations, was one of the nicest, knowledgeable and engaging people we have met. The interior is a simple and warm design, with a wine country elegance. The food is prepared to order and represents an eclectic combination of small plates, salads, sandwiches, main dishes and pizza, all of which seems Italian directed. Although we didn't try the pizza, which looked awesome, everything we had was outstanding. The flavors, food quality and presentation were excellent. I really wish they had a place closer to our home in El Dorado Hills, because we would visit often. I highly recommend giving them a try when in Clarksburg.

    Honestly, it's okay. We ordered two pizzas and the country pâté (pickled veggies, pâté, jamón, and toasted bread). It felt a bit pricey at $24, and unfortunately the pizza was pretty average. The search for great pizza continues.

    We used Husick's by Forester for my father's Celebration of Life. The venue was beyond gorgeous, the food was delicious, the service was amazing- the owners and staff are kind, supportive, and truly top notch. The space is special, right on the Delta, and we were able to do an Air Force Honors Ceremony on the stage. Highly recommend for an event or a meal.

    We had dinner tonight at the new and improved Husick's by Forester. I had not been here since they have taken over the helm and I was duly impressed. Full disclosure, I worked here a year or ten ago. The place was always in need of a deep clean and a makeover. Boy did they do a great job. I also feel like this is finally being run by a group of talented grown up individuals. Matt is doing an amazing job in the kitchen with the food and menu. It is in fact next level. Ross is doing a stellar job front of house. Great customer service and downright welcoming. Please don't wait as long as I did. Do some wine tasting, take a drive, head to the pear festival, but whatever you do...stop at Husick's!

    Steak Sandwich with white bean salad

    A slice of food heaven in the Clarksburg area! We came here about fourish years ago when it was owned by a previous owner. We heard about the new ownership and we had to swing by to check it out. The space is beautifully redone, it's bright and airy. You order your food and drinks at the counter. They serve local beer and wine (+ we got a spoiler that they may be getting a full bar soon). Now, the food - holy moly we wanted to try everything. They have weekly specials that look incredible. They keep their Instagram updated with their specials menu. We landed on two different sandwiches with two sides, the steak sandwich with a bean salad and a veggie sandwich (we added chicken) with the potato salad. Everything was AMAZING. I am still dreaming about the focaccia bread. 100/10 definitely stop by!!!

    Came in to have a quick lunch with coworkers on a weekday. Love the vibe. Feels historic and has small town charm. Right across from the river. Walk up counter where you order food that's brought to your table. I ordered a steak sandwich, $18.99. My coworker ordered the Pizza. Both were brought to the table promptly and presented well. Steak was super soft. Bread was the star of the show. Soft, flavorful and unique. Potato salad was flavorful, chunky. Small scoop.

    We made the very short, yet beautiful drive to Clarksburg for dinner from Elk Grove. We had a yummy dinner at Husicks. I had a pizza with mushrooms and feta, and my husband had an Italian Beef sandwich with homemade roll and a generous amount of cheese. Family owned. We will be back! A beautiful space with a nice outside area too. Support this local business!

    Hit or miss on the food, but it's usually pretty good. Decent beer and wine menu, live music and outdoor seating

    What a magical night it was! Yelp has truly opened the door to some incredible friendships and this one was no exception. A fellow friend organized a fantastic group date at Husick's, nestled near the river in Clarksburg. The drive down was absolutely beautiful setting the perfect tone for the evening. We all ordered different dishes and sharing them family-style was a great way to enjoy the meal together. I'm really excited that the chef introduces a new specialty menu every week making each visit feel unique. The night we went, there was live music filling the air and the restaurant was buzzing with energy. Street parking is available along the side and across the road, making it easy to access. Trust me you don't want to miss out on this gem!

    Me and my boyfriend stopped by for lunch at Husick's and OMG... what a pleasant surprise. The ambiance was so chill and relaxing. It wasn't busy, and it's right across from the river which made it feel even more peaceful. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and treated so nicely. The person who took my order even let me sample a few wines to go with our pizza, which was such a thoughtful touch. Now the pizza... it was FRESH. I mean the crust was just heavenly. But let's talk about the brown butter pecan cake -- OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally want to call the owner and hug him myself. I think I want this cake for my wedding... it's THAT GOOD. So fresh, moist, and the frosting was absolutely delicious. WOW. I was so pleased with our whole experience. Cannot wait to come back.

    Dinner on the Delta with Friends [Clarksburg CA] First of all, the building is cool. It is a historic building first built as a general store. It had a wooden sign that hung by the kitchen area, "Frank Husick Hardware store" and "selling general items." I like that new owner and chef, Matt Brown, kept many of the original details of the building. It was a cold, rainy evening when I met with friends, some 8 of us altogether. There was a live band entertaining the guests, The Anthony Coleman Trio. We enjoyed the jazz music despite the loud volume and we had a great time. We placed our orders at the counter. Normally in an evening without a live band it would be a table service. Most of us ordered (for a limited time only) the featured dishes, Asian-inspired -- Salted Fish Fried Rice (salted cod, chicken, garlic, ginger, veggies, sesame and soy sauce) and Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai. Delicious! Inside was nice and cozy with all table seating (no booths). There were a couple of high table tops too. We occupied a round table. Customer service was excellent. With the open kitchen we could see Matt prepare/cook the dishes. Umbrella covered outdoor patio seating available on nice warm, clear days. Great atmosphere on the Delta, close proximity to great wineries and a stone's throw from Sacramento. Review #3684

    Husick's by Forester opened its doors on Sept 13, 2024 under the helm of Chef/Owner Matt Brown. If you've ever dined at The Jungle Bird, Golden Bear, or Bodega Kitchen and Cocktails, chances are good that you've had food prepared by Matt. Although Clarksburg is out in the Delta, it's worth the visit if it's out of the way for you. Located next to the Sacramento River, the building has gone through a few iterations over the century+ years and it's currently a charming tap house and restaurant with the original "Frank Husick Hardware" sign above the kitchen! My friends and I visited on a Friday night during Husick's by Forester's "Around the World in 80 Days" in which they showcase weekly specials from different countries (1/2/25 through 3/19/25). The week's specials were: Salted Fish Fried Rice (with salted cod, chicken, ginger, and veggies), Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai (with black mushrooms, topped with green onions and a sweet soy dipping sauce), and Congee (rice porridge with fried garlic, fried shallots, scallions, and toasted peanuts) to coincide with Chinese New Year. On Friday nights, they feature a band (free music!) and change from table service to counter service. The Anthony Coleman Trio (jazz) were playing when we were there... and wow, they were awesome. All of the staff were friendly and brought our dishes out shortly after ordering. Since they also had their regular menu items, we tried the following: *Salted Fish Fried Rice* - This dish was so well-balanced and the rice was soft and fluffy. It tasted equally delicious the day after as leftovers. *Pork and Shrimp Sui Mai* - Each of the 5 dumplings were over-sized and flavorful - easily better than many of the Sui Mai found at Chinese Restaurants. *The Forester Pizza* (roasted red potato, rosemary, caramelized onions, arugula, chèvre, mozzarella, confit garlic) - The gooey cheese was sublime, the crust was perfectly chewy, and together each bite was amazing. *Hangar Steak* (cooked with garlic and rosemary and came with pickled veggies, fresh focaccia bread, and a slice of cambazola cheese) - The steak was very tender, cooked rare (exactly per our request), and seasoned just right. The de-constructed dish was a bit unusual but worked nonetheless. Heck, the steak even paired well with the fried rice! Ha! Do yourself a favor and check out Husick's by Forester. They're open Wednesday through Friday, from 11 am to 9 pm. Try one or three of their weekly specials. Chef Matt has an outstanding repertoire and executes dishes like nobody else.

Everything was outstanding, but the Brussels sprouts were a surprise favorite, the dressing took them to another level and made the dish delicious. For dessert, we shared the Trio Selection, which was the perfect way to end the meal. It included churros with Nutella, Torrija (stuffed French toast with cream), and orange mousse, allowing us to sample a little bit of everything. Every dessert was excellent. Our server, Skyler, was amazing throughout our visit. He was attentive, friendly, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Great service can make a meal memorable, and Skyler definitely did that for us. From the food and service to the ambiance and outdoor seating, everything was wonderful. We'll definitely be coming back and look forward to trying more of the menu

It's a quaint little spot with some tables outdoors, which worked for us because we had our dogs in a stroller. I checked the menu before we sat down and they had a few gluten-free dishes which serves my wife well. Little did I know I was gonna find this culinary gem. We started with the Chicharron's. I'm not kidding. These were the best Chicharron's I have ever had in my life. They were so extremely fresh with a chipotle sauce that was perfection. I can't even describe how good these things were, but talk about fresh and crispy. Triple wow. The next item was the pork belly. It was scrumptious. The right blend of fat to meat ratio. Sweet and tangy. A 10 compared to chef Ramsey's 6 that I had at Hell's kitchen. And then there was the wild west beef tacos. Now if you follow my many reviews you will know I am a taco foodie. It is hard to get a wow out of me over a taco, but oh my God, these were some of the best freaking tacos I ever had in my life! They use a tender skirt steak to line the grilled flour tortilla, and then cheese, grilled onion, and bacon with an arugula salad top. And I believe some kind of chipotle sauce. I am not kidding you, these tacos will bend your knees. I absolutely loved them. They just absolutely nailed this. The wait staff was excellent, I got a pale Mexican beer that was really good, even the lemonade was first class. This was the surprise lunch of my lifetime. I was not expecting much. I was not expecting something worthy of a review even. These are some of the greatest lunches ever when you find a spot like this and were expecting nothing. Kudos to The River Downtown. I just wished I was staying another day so I could go back and try all the other things they have on their menu. Wow wow wow.

Beautifully curated decor- you can tell the owners put a lot of time and thought into to it. Wish I had taken a picture of the beer tap rotation.. each handle is a beautiful large rock crystal. Food was excellent- we shared the coconut shrimp which were the bomb with generous sized shrimp seemingly breaded with a light, coconut only coating so not a heavy breading that usually cheats you with tiny shrimp. We also shared the meatball sampler and the gogujhang (I know I spelled that wrong) meatballs were delicious. Also the sweet pea salad with a generous sized portion of smoked salmon. It was very, very good! We sat at the bar and got to chat with the daughter (family owned and run) who was a sweetheart. The wine pours by the glass were also generous. For those few who complained about the size of the plates- this is a small plates restaurant. 3 plates and we were stuffed. For a restaurant working on razor-thin margins as all restaurants do (especially in CA) I thought it was a great value and a lovely night out. This isn't the Cheesecake Factory people. Thank God. Will be back very soon!

We started with the croquetas al gusto with Serrano ham and the pinchos morunos (lamb skewers). The croquets had a perfectly crispy exterior with the most creamy delicate cheese that was savory and yummy! Sooo good!! The skewers were so good! The meat was tender and the sauce had a wonderful deep flavor. Really tasty! We had the paella Barcelonetta (squid ink paella). The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly! The sofrito on top was really good and added a bit of lightness and acidity to the dish. The paella did not taste fishy at all. It was a good amount of food, and felt perfect for two people. The paella was soo delicious!! We had wanted to try this paella, but asked our very knowledgeable server what she would recommend and she said this was her favorite. I can see why!! It was amazing! We ate all of it. We were comfortably full, but decided to finish off the evening with the mascarpone limon mousse. It is just as described, a lemon mousse over top lemoncello. It was light and refreshing, a great way to end the evening. All of the food was spectacular! No dish was heavy. Everything felt well balanced and perfectly cooked! I would highly recommend Aioli whether it is for a lunch or dinner, date night or for a celebration! It's one of those places that delivers on quality such that you could go back again and again!

    The 3-star rating is actually an average of my 4-star and my wife's 2-star ratings. Why was she so…read moremuch less happy with our supper tonight? Read on. So we ended up at Aioli tonight with another couple after trying and failing to get in at the place across the street. We weren't unhappy about that as we used to frequent Aioli years ago and always really liked it. I'll just cut to the chase here and say that the problem tonight was the service. Everything seemed really rushed and pacing was poor. Our friends already had their cocktails when we got there, and we each ordered one while checking out the menu., When they arrived, our server asked us for our orders, but we weren't ready, so she came back a short time later. My wife ordered a salad and a tapa plate and was asked whether she wanted the salad ahead of time or with the meal and she said she'd have it with the meal. A short time later, the food came out, with the exception of the salad. It didn't come out for some time, and my wife was just getting ready to tell them not to bother when it arrived. Right after that, they cleared the rest of the plates and asked us if we wanted dessert or coffee. Obviously, she was still working on the salad at that point. So she really did not appreciate the service. I was less unhappy about it, but she certainly had a good point. It was way too rushed and uneven for a place like Aioli. In addition to that, our server just seemed to have a rushed and frantic edge to her, and that didn't help at all We did agree that the food was very good. Her chorizo dish and the salad were both excellent. I had the octopus and the little pork skewers, both of which were fantastic. (That octopus is an absolute classic and everyone should try it.) Fried brussels sprouts were fine - not excellent, but certainly not bad. I liked my cocktail, my wife didn't particularly like hers. So we're averaging this one out to a three. I would have to go back for more data points to see which of the two or four star ratings is really more emblematic of Aioli. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't want to go back. So bottom line: good food, poor service, excellent octopus. Mike sez check it out but beware.
