We took family for the first visit last night, excellent ambiance, food was delicious, I had the Skuna bay Salmon absolutely delicious cooked perfectly, baked brie appetizer excellent, service was excellent did not make you feel rushed. Definitely will return and highly recommend. read more

Stopped in without reservation, was sat without any waiting on a Friday night. I was surprised it wasn't very busy at all. The host and waiter were very nice. I do not do fine dinning very often and did not know what most of the things on the menu were but the waiter was very helpful. He recommended a salad that was not on the menu. Sorry I don't recall the name of it but it had strawberries. I also for the Croquettes Braised Chicken, Bechamel with Calabrian Chili Aioli sauce. The sauce was to die for. My date also order 2 items. His salad and my croquettes came at the same time. But then my salad and his second dish didn't come out until an another 30 minutes. We were actually kinda full after the first dishes. They apologized when they finally brought out our 2nd dishes but we didn't complain or asked but I'm sure our faces and empty plates said enough. Both of my dishes were great and my waiter checked on us repeatedly bc I was so full I couldn't finish my food. Service was great but food was brought out too slowly is my only complaint. The environment was very polished and clean. The staff were very professional and personable. Not at all pretentious as I worry about as I'm not as experienced in fine dining read more

This opened up as a replacement for the Macaroni Grill that had been in this location for quite a while. Interlude is definitely a higher end restaurant than what was there before it. Much like its predecessor it is Italian cuisine. I had the pork chop and my girlfriend had the lamb. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, delicious meat dishes. The room has been upgraded since it was the Macaroni Grill so clearly a special occasion dining spot for most people. Excellent service as befits this type of establishment. I will be going back as it is well worth the money. read more

This restaurant is very nice, a bit pricey but worth the upscale experience. I love the decor-they made it bright and very comfortable to enjoy your gathering. We came here for a friend's birthday a party of 6. Service was excellent prompt on everything! As you finish your dish they ask to if it's ok to take away, dishes were served in order and complete. We had appetizers and they brought plates for everyone at the table. Water was always filled without asking. Half the table ordered their special sea bass, I shared a Cesar salad (excellent and recommended) and a couple appetizers, one of the gals ordered pork chops which we all tried and is highly recommended-flavored well and cooked to perfection. The shrimp appetizer had a spice to it but went well with the mango to tone down the spice with a sweet zing to it. I'd rather have the baked Brie and forgo the sourdough bread, after all the reviews I wasn't impressed with the sourdough. We all agreed we'd come back again. They do offer happy hour at the bar which was a great way to start before being seated in the dining area. It is very affordable way to experience this restaurant too. I had a cocktail and a couple of oysters that was very delicious (the sauce options were on point and delicious) to start the evening.. read more

My sister and I made reservations but upon arrival noticed a few empty stool at the bar so we decided to take this route. We happened to catch the 20 minutes of their happy hour and appetizers. Mojitos and the Peach Mule was good but nothing special - no extra embellishment or presentation - straight to the point and a little light on the alcohol. The Calamari was just the right touch of Crispy, the truffle fries were just the right amount of yummy and the oyster was on the tiny side of the expected but fresh and was just $2.00 each during happy hour. We were feeling healthy so we added a lm order of Cesar salad that they nicely split in advanced and was served to us in separate plates. Even though it was not necessary, we decided to share a meal and went with a salmon dish. So glad we did for the flavor was superb. Nice presentation too. Do not expect a full plate, this place is fine dining so your eyes eats more than your actual mouth. Lol This place will definitely be a once in a while spot, probably for special occasion and not just because I don't want to cook lol Staff were friendly. The two bartenders at the bar was super nice and accommodating. It's a nice addition to Elk Grove :) Will be back again read more

We went to Interlude after hearing so much about it, and I'll say this first the ambience is beautiful. It feels really intimate and personal, not overly loud or chaotic, which I loved. It's definitely more of a slow, sit down and enjoy kind of place. There were a lot of vegetarians at our table, and they only had one veg entrée, so we ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers to share. The garlic sourdough was honestly one of my favorites. It was so soft, the butter just melts into it, super simple but done really well. The grilled brie though... I was expecting an actual piece of brie, but it came more like a small spread with honey on bread. It wasn't bad, just not what I had in mind and didn't really feel like a "brie dish." We also got the mozzarella caponata, which had really nice flavor. there's a good kick from the chili oil and eggplant, but I wish the cheese was warm. Or even if they used halloumi or something, it would've made it way better. The beet salad was okay... nothing special, pretty average. For the entrée, we got the risotto, which was good, but again--it was literally the only vegetarian option, which was kind of frustrating since there were multiple of us who don't eat meat. I just wish they had even one or two more veg mains. The service though was honestly amazing. Our server was so good. He was super attentive, knew the menu well, and just made the whole experience feel smooth. Overall, I'd go back for the ambience and service, but I really hope they add more vegetarian options because that was the biggest downside for us. read more

I came here for an early dinner. So early in fact that I was the first diner to arrive at the restaurant and they forgot to unlock the doors. I don't remember what the old Macaroni Grill looked like, but the interior now is open with a partial view of the kitchen. The bar area is located in the front. We started with the fritto misto- calamari and chickpeas. I prefer bigger pieces of calamari, as this was a bit difficult to eat. Next we had the yellow beet carpaccio. This was my friend's first time having yellow beets, and we both enjoyed the dish. Lastly, we shared the Dixon Ranch t-bones- lamb with creamed spinach and potato puree. They were nice enough to split the plate for us. The lamb was cooked well, but overall the dish as a whole was salty. I mentioned that we were here to celebrate my friend's (early) birthday. She was given complimentary ice cream and cookie. They offered to sing, but we opted out. Service was good overall. My water was getting refilled constantly. It doesn't seem like they started happy hour yet, but I may return for that. read more

We made a reservation for interlude to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was such a lovely experience. The staff was very attentive and kind all night long- refilling waters swiftly, offering great recommendations and checking on us! The food was delicious and came out in great timing. I really enjoyed the sauce on the steak and devoured the crème brûlée We were able to split the steak and the Caesar salad and splurge on two desserts. We also started with two cocktails- both well-balanced and served in really nice coups. Elk Grove is really lucky to have a place like this so close to home. I'm glad we don't have to account for a 30 min drive to Sacramento now to enjoy a meal like this! The ambiance is open and you can see the kitchen, the bar and the other tables but it wasn't loud or obnoxious. I still felt like I was enjoying an intimate meal while also people watching. If you haven't been yet, go check out Interlude! You won't be disappointed! Thank you for making our anniversary extra special! read more

I always love eating good food. And Interlude Kitchen and Bar. Though new, had good food. We had steak. We had salmon. We had a salad. I even had a chocolate cake. And of course. Because I am a growing boy. I had a couple cocktails. But also a responsible boy. My wife had a mocktail. Everything was great. The service was great. We would definitely come back again. I hope they have a revolving menu to see what else the chef can make with the local resources. So far what we had was great. read more

Made dinner reservations about a month prior to Valentine's Day for my girlfriend and I on OpenTable at Interlude and after a quick wait, we were seated. The GM took us to our seats and chatted us up briefly about Interlude, its sister restaurants in the area and how they've only been in operation approximately 2-3 months after taking over the previous establishment, the Macaroni Grill. Once seated, our server, Dominic gave us the low down on specials and recommendations on the menu. He was great, always present and available to answer any questions we had. We started out with drinks, a 1738 Spiced Pear Sidecar for myself and a Lemondrop for my lady. Both drinks were delicious and STRONG. On to the food: we went with the Flash Fried Brussel Sprouts, Bella Bru Garlic Sourdough, Caesar Salad, Prime Ribeye, Pork Chop and the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee. Surprisingly, our favorite dish of night was the Caesar Salad. The dressing on the salad was just perfect, honestly one of the best I've ever had. We also really enjoyed the sourdough and creme brulee. As for the entrees, I got my steak medium rare, yet it was way close to rare, but the detractor was the major lack of seasoning. It felt like little to no salt was used both my steak and the pork chop. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and will be back but after we save up a little since this place feels more like a special celebration/splurge type of place. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Elk Grove. Been dropping by here since they opened up. If you show up when they first open up without reservations you won't have any issue getting in. Plenty of seating. Staff's very friendly here! Big fan of the drinks from Jessica. My go to currently is the Salmon. It's been consistently good every time. Menu is due for an update already in my opinion. lt hasn't changed noticeably since I've been coming in. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

We went here at around 7:30pm on a week day, and there were still a good amount of people seated. The restaurant had a romantic atmosphere with warm, dim lighting. I can see this being a popular spot for date night or a girls' night out. Our waiter, Justin, gave us a rundown of the restaurant and pointed out some notable items from the menu. We ordered the wood fired blackened prawns, which were dusted with spices. Thus added a nice tiny kick of heat, and the sweet mango salsa provided a fun tropical twist to the dish. The beet salad was surprisingly the star of the show for me. The beets were tender and had a bit of sweetness. The acidity of balsamic vinegar tampered the bitterness of the arugula very well, and the pistachios added a wonderful crunch. The squid ink pasta had very subtle flavors. This dish didn't really stand out to me, but the prawns were a nice touch ( I just wish they removed the tails beforehand to make them easier to eat). For the risotto, this one received great praise around the dinner table. The flavors soaked into the rice well. I personally wished it was creamier, but it was a very balanced dish: not too salty, and the peas didn't overpower the other elements on the plate. For dessert, we ordered the vanilla bean creme brûlée. The caramelized sugar on top wasn't warm, so the contrast between it and the custard wasn't very apparent. The flavors were yummy and not too sweet. It was smooth and palatable, and the raspberries were delectably tart. The staff was personable and welcoming, and Justin checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal. He also comp'd our dessert since we waited about 20 minutes for the creme brûlée. The dishes were on the smaller side and a bit pricey, but I'll definitely come again for special occasions. read more

Came here to celebrate my partner's birthday and had a wonderful experience overall. We ordered the risotto and the lamb chops. The risotto wasn't quite my favorite. It was a bit thicker than I personally prefer for risotto, but the lamb chops were absolutely spectacular. They were cooked perfectly, well-seasoned, and paired with an incredibly well-made polenta that completed the dish beautifully. What really made the night special was our server. Despite how busy the restaurant was, he still took the time to doodle "Happy Birthday" on a napkin for my partner, which was such a thoughtful touch. He also kindly removed the risotto from the bill after noticing I barely ate it, which I truly appreciated. Even though the risotto wasn't for me, the outstanding lamb chops and exceptional service easily made this a five-star experience. I didn't catch our server's name, but he'll know who he is once he sees the napkin! read more

We stopped in for an early Valentine's Day dinner & the entire experience was underwhelming. The atmosphere was okay, felt little bright inside but generally felt okay. We were greeted & seated promptly, we did have reservations in advance. The service was okay, the server was nice but a bit awkward. We really wanted to love the food but honestly everything was mediocre at best. I started off with a lemon drop and it wasn't very full. We tried the oysters, Ceasar salad, garlic bread, steak, carbonara & kids meal of sliders and pasta. The main items I enjoyed were the garlic bread and oysters. The steak didn't have much flavor and was a bit dry for a medium cook. The kids meal comes with one scope of gelato. He did bring two orders since we ordered two kids meals but somehow was charged for one order of gelato after they brought out the initial bill. This was corrected after it was brought to their attention. Overall the experience fell short and some of room for improvement. read more

Our first time here and it was a pleasant experience all around. Cocktails were masterful and delightful. We had the summer salad with gorgeous tomatoes, peaches, homemade mozzarella and balsamic and the bread was addictive . For dinner my husband had gnocchi that were pillows Of goodness in a rich roasted tomato sauce. I had the clams with bucatani in a rich white sauce. We were too full to order dessert. Our server Beau was attentive , informative and a pleasure. The ambiance and decors was elegant yet comfortable. We will definitely be back! read more

We've been to Interlude Kitchen and Bar three times now for family dinners. Our first visit was enjoyable, though service was a bit slow--which we understood since they had just opened. The second visit was less positive; while the food was still good, the service really dropped off. It was hard to find staff, and no one checked in on us or refilled our water. This most recent visit showed improvement. The staff seemed more organized, the service was smoother, and the overall experience was more enjoyable. The food was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, and since it's close to home, it's a convenient spot for our family. We're hopeful they continue to improve. read more

Interlude Kitchen & Bar - Best calamari ever - New American Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Interlude has taken over where Macaroni Grill used to be on Laguna. I've been to their sister restaurant, Prelude, downtown for Happy Hour before and was able to make dinner reservations on OpenTable for my early January birthday for a party of 4. For our shared starter, we got the brussel sprouts. We also split a tall bottle of Pelligrino for the table. I even tried one of their mocktails called the "Whistleblower." For mains, I had the prime rib, and my extended fam had the lamb buccatini, mushroom risotto, and salmon entrees. For desserts, I had the tiramisu and auntie also tried the seasonal gelato flavor, which was pistachio. My prime rib was delicious -- I tried a bite of the risotto too and I wish that or the brussels were an option as a side dish for the steak! The tiramisu was also yummy. Service was friendly and prompt, the interior modern and not too loud. Restroom also very clean. Great for a special occasion, but pricewise it is a splurge. read more

Great new date night spot in Elk Grove. Pretty busy on the weekend nights so I recommend making a reservation. Lots of parking available since it shares the lot with several other businesses in the shopping center. They have an open kitchen where you can see things being plated and it's fun to watch if you're seated near. LOTS of seating and very comfy, plush chairs. Somewhat loud and we had a slightly hard time hearing the server. Dinner was already $120+ for 2 drinks and 2 entrees so we didn't try any sides. Chicken was amazing, juicy and fell off the bone easily. The dish is VERY tomato forward. The steak was very good with crispy onions and potato puree, the flavors and textures really balanced each other out. I do agree with a lot of reviews that it's on the higher cost end for what you get and I personally would not make this a routine spot but it will be a good place to bring out of town guests for a nice dinner. I appreciate that they are farm to fork because I value the freshness and sustainability of this practice! I'd like to see more businesses like this in Elk Grove, maybe at a lower price point. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Interlude! This place is the perfect combination of fine dining without an air of pretentiousness. The staff move about in a coordinated dance of service--we wanted for nothing the entire time we dined. They were all warm and welcoming. It's bright and clean and sleek inside, and the tables are incredibly cozy without feeling cramped or squeezed in. The food was most excellent--the oysters were fresh and luscious, the shrimp cooked delicately, and you must try the beet carpaccio. The mushroom soup is earthen perfection. The salmon was tender, the bucatini silken. I'm not a restaurant repeater by nature, but I'd return to Interlude for sure, especially for another celebratory meal. Cheers! read more

Interlude Kitchen and Bar took over Macaroni Grill and the new interior decor looks clean and elegant. When you first enter the restaurant, you get hit with the smokey aroma from cooking their entrees on a wooden plank. It was strong in the restaurant, and not so much infused in the entrees. I came with a party of four with a reservation and got seated immediately on a Thursday. We each ordered a different entree and got a taste of each. The best items were the King Salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Seasoned nicely, crispy on the outside, moist and flakey on the inside. The prime rib on the bruschetta was tender, warm and nicely balanced between the crunchy yet soft bread. These two items were my favorite. The mushroom soup came out hot, but flavorless. The Niman Ranch Pork Chop was dry, the Dixon Ranch T-bone was gamey and risotto was cooked well, just needed a bit more seasoning. The service was there and very friendly, but not very attentive or efficient. I would ask for one thing and I could see them doing a bunch of other tasks before getting back with my request. Due to some circumstances, I needed to leave in a hurry so I asked for a box and the check. They helped me packed up my leftovers, but took a few orders, sent out a few entrees, came back to ask if we wanted desserts before bringing the check. Unless I am craving a $36 piece of salmon or if the menu changes seasonally, I don't think I will come back. The ambiance makes it a nice date spot though. read more

Headline: Fine Dining comes to Elk Grove. Location: Taking over the old location of Macaroni Grill off Laguna, Interlude is a nice restaurant to open at this location with a prime location off the freeway, lots of parking and close to many eating options. Interlude gave a face lift to the building but it's not just limited to the exterior. The inside has a nice refresh and an open main dining area with an open view of the kitchen. Service: Interlude had recently open in this past week so it felt like we got a chance to try this place during its early opening. The staff is on point and our host and server were attentive, friendly and on point. We had a set right in front of the kitchen and the staff seemed to be working well and in sync. It seemed like we had just come in before the even rush, so we received our order lightning quick. Food: Interlude focuses on quality over quantity with a limited number of items as you would expect from a restaurant at this level. The prime rib eye and lamb were cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed both the items but I think the lamb takes the prize. We ordered a few drinks which were decent. No complaints on my end but noting exactly to right about either. Next time I think I will pick up the trief And true old fashioned. Dessert was also great, maybe slightly too much heat applied to the Crème Brûlée but the raspberries really held the dish together. Coffee: I want to give a special shout out to this place for using coffee beans from Anchor and Tree in its affogato. It's a nice touch seeing them use a local roaster and seeing that has me wishing I could give this place an extra star. Affogato was top tier and a great way to end this meal! read more

Last had dinner during their grand opening weekend and things are still fantastic. The pork chop seemed a little thinner than before but was still grilled to perfection. The service was stellar - our waiter (Lalo) was attentive but not overbearing. The downside was the kitchen was "backed up" so our food took some time but it was worth the wait. Interlude is easily one of the best restaurants in Elk Grove. read more

I used the open-table app to make my reservation for their soft opening. Check in was quick and easy upon arrival. I was seated in less than 5 minutes. The ambiance was calm and cozy. This place is perfect for a date night, celebration and/or hanging out with friends. The food came out at a decent time. The first two appetizers came out first, then the soup, then the main course. I ordered the following items: FRITTO MISTO - Calamari, Chickpeas, Sweet Chili Remoulade $19 / I would give this a 8.5 out of 10. Very favorable and the batter is light and not greasy. Extra sauce would be great. PRIME RIB BRUSCHETTA - Horseradish Fonduta, Pickled Onion $16 / this was a 9 out of 10. I was expecting crunch from the bread, but it was soggy in the middle. Maybe it's because the toppings moisture soaked on to the bread by the time the food came to me. The combo of the toppings and meat were wonderful. They didn't skimp out on the prime rib. I highly recommend this one! SEASONAL SOUP - Wild Mushroom Puree, Black Pepper Crème Fraiche, Crispy Shallot $14 / rating this 8 out of 10. It was flavorful and if you're a fan of cream of mushroom, you'll absolutely love it. I do not recommend the Bucatini Carbonara $29. It was dry and flavorless. I added plenty of salt and pepper and it still didn't work. Rating it 0 out of 10. read more

I made dinner reservations here to celebrate my early birthday, and we were seated within minutes of checking in. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming from the start. The restaurant has a fine-dining atmosphere while still feeling comfortable and casual. Since they only opened about two weeks ago, the menu is currently pretty small, but our server mentioned they plan to continue adding more dishes over time. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, grilled cauliflower, fritto misto, and the roasted Mary's chicken. I really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, both were flavorful and well prepared. The calamari, however, was just okay; it lacked flavor, and my friend felt it mostly tasted like oil. Unfortunately, the roasted chicken was very under seasoned, dry and tough to eat, although the accompaniments underneath it were really good. When my friend asked if we could swap the chicken for another dish, our server kindly accommodated us. We chose the bucatini carbonara, substituting the lamb pork belly with bacon. The carbonara was a bit under seasoned, but after adding a few dashes of salt, it was quite good. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I appreciate the friendly service and willingness to fix issues. I'd definitely come back again, especially as the menu continues to grow. read more

A great restaurant addition to Elk Grove! Dined here on New Year's Day 2026 and we had a great experience. We ordered: - flash fried Brussel sprouts - these were good and I liked the sauce they paired it with - king salmon - the crust on the salmon made it delicious and the pesto gave it a good flavor - roasted chicken - pretty big potion of chicken over crushed tomatoes. The chicken could have used a little bit more flavor - whistle blower mocktail - this was a good mocktail and I'll have to try out other cocktails next time when I haven't been drinking the night prior :) Our server was Laura and she checked on us often and was pleasant. Interlude is quite nice inside and the seats were comfortable. We also enjoyed being able to watch the open kitchen since we were seated near the kitchen. I would come back again to try other items on their menu. read more

Checked out Interlude during their soft opening and had a great experience overall. We started with the prime rib appetizer, which was rich, tender, and packed with flavor -- a strong way to kick things off. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of seasoning, and the carbonara was creamy, comforting, and well-executed without being overly heavy. The ambiance is warm and inviting -- a great spot for a relaxed dinner or date night. Service was a tad slow, but completely understandable given it was a soft opening, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. Really impressed and excited to come back as they continue to dial things in. Highly recommend giving Interlude a visit. read more

I seldom go to new restaurants that have just opened. I know the staff is still learning the ropes, and getting into their groove. However, as soon as I saw the sign for Interlude come up I knew I had to go there ASAP. I went with a friend recently. We came right as they open so the place was ours for a while. We got to chat and interact with the staff before the dinner rush. Our server, Lalo, was very attentive and informative. He gave us his recommendations. We started with the roasted brussels sprouts and the golden beet salad carpaccio. I was completely blown away by the golden bead salad. I love so this was a real treat. We were sharing and they brought it on two separate plates. golden beets are even better. The brussels sprouts were delectable with a hint of heat. My friend opted for the steak. I was really craving an old-school Caesar salad salad and theirs did not disappoint. The highlight were the anchovies on top. I am a fan of Caesar salads with anchovies in them. There are very few places that serve it this way anymore. After we finished our meal, we saw the table next to us ordered bread so we decided to get some too. The garlic sourdough was from Bella Bru and it came with whipped sea salt butter. We were tempted to get another order of bread but decided to get dessert instead. After we opted for the chocolate mousse cake and tiramisu along with coffee. It was the perfect end to a superb dining experience. The GM stopped to buy our table to get our feedback. I was excited to hear about their future plans for extended hours including brunch. Yay! They wanted to perfect dinner service before they started on other meals. I loved that their menu was simple and seasonal. I respect restaurants that make a few items perfectly rather than pages of mediocre dishes. As we were leaving the restaurant, the AGM, who seated us asked us how we enjoyed dinner. Having people ask and be genuinely interested in our feedback was very flattering. I'm excited that EG is finally getting more upscale dining experiences. It's long overdue. Price wise, Interlude is more of a special occassion restaurant. However, it is worth the splurge. Interlude is located in Elk Grove at the corner of Laguna and W. Stockton Blvd. It's housed in what was formally Macaroni Grill. However, it's been completely transformed to create an open and sophisticated atmosphere. I will definitely be back especially when they start doing brunch. read more

This was my second visit to Interlude Kitchen and Bar, and unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my first experience. The first time I came, everything from the food to the service was excellent, which is why I decided to return. This time, most of the dishes were still good, but one really missed the mark. The squid ink tonnarelli was overloaded with garlic to the point where it completely overpowered the dish. The staff were all friendly and polite, but the service lacked attentiveness. We had to ask multiple times just to get simple things. For example, I had to request hot water twice, and when we wanted a dessert menu, we ended up asking two different servers before receiving it. The biggest issue, though, was the wait time. While we were seated promptly at our reservation time, it took quite a while for a server to come take our order. After ordering, there were long gaps before both the appetizers and main courses arrived. In total, our dining experience lasted nearly three hours, with most of that time spent waiting for food. Overall, while the food is still generally good, the slow and inattentive service made this visit disappointing compared to the first. read more

Elk Grove needed a spot like this. Interlude has quickly become the quintessential date night destination in Elk Grove. The ambience was fantastic, the food was excellent, and the new summer menu was a hit across the table. You can tell the chef is having fun with it. Justin (the AGM?) went above and beyond to make sure our experience was enjoyable and that we were taken care of from start to finish. That level of hospitality really stands out. And Lalo was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and helped make the evening seamless. Great food, great vibes, and great people. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to seeing what the team comes up with for the menu next season. Highly recommend. read more

Came here with my husband on Valentines Day. We did have reservations and did have to wait briefly but it was fine. It was a very clean concept and open layout. I ordered the Caesar salad and the Dixon ranch t-bones, my husband had the problem New York steak. The salads were inconsistent when it came to portions. My husband and I both got the salad and he had a lot less than I did. My T-bones which were lamb was seasoned nice and pretty good along with the puree underneath. My husbands steak was a little small and he didn't care for the sweet "bbq" sauce they put on it. It wasn't necessary and took away from the meat. All in all it was just okay but not spectacular. read more

Came in Saturday night at 6:15pm for a late Mother's Day dinner with hubby and our two littles, ages 1 and 3 and will definitely be back! I'm so excited to have a nice restaurant in town that's so kid friendly! Service and food were both top notch! We started with the wood fired prawns and those prawns were cooked perfectly and so flavorful with the mango salsa. This appetizer was meant for the kids but I didn't realize it would be sprinkled with a dry cajun seasoning so I would order this again without the spice for the kids next time, I just know they'll love it too. The beet salad was everything you'd expect from a beet salad with the pistachio, ricotta and arugula, they do it very well here. I probably wouldn't have ordered the bread if I hadn't read reviews that stated it was a 'must order' and it was truly such a simple but delectable dish. Almost had to fight my toddler for it. My salmon was ordered medium, hubby's steak was medium rare and both came out perfectly! My three cocktails, the lychee lemon drop, blood orange paloma (a little sweet but still refreshing) and espresso martini were all very strong and tasty as well. What stands out to me is the service. Everyone was welcoming and attentive! It was a pleasant dinner from beginning to end and I'm so glad Elk Grove has gained another great mom and pop! Prices are definitely not cheap but I don't mind paying premium prices for quality food and service! read more

Service was outstanding. What I noticed is the staff is having fun internally which intern buys the same Pleasant customer service because they're in a great mood having fun at work.! Happy hour was excellent. Yes, it is a touch pricey but it's very classy and the staff is very matured and experienced to make your atmosphere fun enjoyable, and well worth paying a few bucks. Had a salmon salad that was excellent. Some oysters. And New York steak minestrone soup is the best I've ever ever had in my life. Excellent recipe! Jessica and Raul the bartenders... both are so down to earth. They kept us entertained, well fed the entire couple of hours. Truffle fries were awesome as well! My new Go-To! read more

It's a new spot in Elk Grove from a restaurant group in Sacramento. It's a stark interior with spartan appointments. The menu was fairly limited in selection. I hope it expands to more diverse offerings. The lamb belly bucatini was tasty but not in a way that left a lasting impression. Service was impressive. Sure hope this place gets legs and expands on the early promise. read more

Finally checked out this cute spot for dinner with a few friends and let me tell you. it was amazing! Everything tasted great from the oysters to the delicious brie and their roasted asparagus! We all ended up ordering the salmon plate which was also so good. One of the salmon plate was on the risotto and that was soo good as well. I will order that next time. For drinks, we asked them to make us a spicy margarita since it wasn't on the menu, but they did an amazing job making it. read more

We came here on a Friday night recently to celebrate our anniversary. We made reservations and arrived about 10 minutes early. We were seated at the time of our reservation time. Our waiter asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and so we had informed him yes, our anniversary. The restaurant has a very open concept. The food and drinks came out sparingly but timely. Our waiter was pretty attentive and the person who came around with water was good about making sure our waters were filled. We did order dessert at the end. My recommendation for future would be for the Business to make it more personable by writing "Happy Anniversary" on the plate to add that special touch being that they had asked if it was for a special occasion. read more
