    I won a gift certificate for an olive oil tasting party for 12-18 people. It was so fun! This is a locally owned family run business. Please spend your $$ here for your olive oils. We learned a lot as we tasted different types of oils and vinegars. They also had a snack spread for us using oils and other condiments from the store. The artichoke pesto dip is a must make! And also bloom orange olive oil brownies. All in all a fun night and my friends learned something new!

    Ten years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would go olive oil tasting with her for her birthday. I was like, "Wow, that sounds kind of weird. Of course, I'm in." At the time, More Than Olives was located in El Dorado Hills. I don't remember the exact menu, but I do remember there being bread, salami, oil, vinegar, and more. My life was changed that day. I was now hooked on artisan olive oils and vinegars forever, and there was no going back. We each left the store with our very first sets of six small bottles. A new passion was born. In 2013, More Than Olives was moved from their old location in El Dorado Hills to their new location at 713 Sutter Street. I seriously can't believe that this shop only has 5 reviews so far! They are comparable with my favorite artisan oil and vinegar shop in Old Sacramento, which currently has 110 reviews on Yelp! Anyway, I love their oils and vinegars, but they also carry all kinds of other artisan products, such as dishes, cutting boards, cheeses, salamis, and loads of condiments. It's a great place to find a unique gift. Staff is incredibly friendly, and is usually able to offer a sample of just about anything in the store. My favorite product that I've recently sampled was an alcohol-infused hot fudge sauce. Sometimes, they offer samples of items that they've cooked up using store products as ingredients. My daughter became so obsessed with their blood orange olive oil brownie samples that I ended up having to buy that oil so that we could make some ourselves. No regrets, of course. In fact, I recommend trying this at home. A few weeks ago, I was walking up Sutter Street on a particularly hot day, when I noticed a sign that said "free pink lemonade samples." On this day, somehow, I had forgotten my water bottle, so I was immediately drawn in by this offer. The lemonade was so amazing. The woman behind the counter told me to take a few cups worth if I wanted. She said, "It's hot out, and we have plenty!" Totally made my day. This is one of the best artisan shops on Sutter Street. They have great products, friendly staff, and over-the-top service. I highly recommend checking them out.

    Sutter Street has the nicest little Sunday Street Market and owners of 'More Than Olives' have a tent to showcase their wonderful balsamic and olive oil flavors for tastings, along with a sampling Recipe using their products. The great thing about their shop is, if you purchase any flavor of Olive Oil and/or Balsamic, you are provided with instructions to clean your jar when empty and bring it back in to refill @ a discount. Highly recommend.

    I love the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning salts at More Than Olives. The tasting bar is a lovely experience. I use the products daily. So good.

    Blue Goose Produce is open the whole calendar year. It's located on Taylor Rd in downtown Loomis,…read moreso it's one of the most convenient locations to sample and buy seasonal Mandarin Oranges. As of 11/19/25, which is early season, you can buy a 4 lb bag for $10. While I was there, one farmer was sorting the oranges out by size. Apparently, the medium ones are the most popular. You could buy small ones for $1.50 per pound. Mandarins were attractive and juicy. Update: It's the sweetest and easiest to peel of the three different bags I bought on 11/19/25. Blue Goose Produce is associated with Westview Growers. If I remember correctly, there are 1500 mandarin orange trees in their orchards, so you can buy mandarins there until April! Farmers are friendly and informative to chat with. In October 2025, I believe I spoke with the owner Mark about the Blue Goose decor. One antiquities specialist soon found him a large metallic goose after he requested it. He painted it dark blue himself. This goose gets outfit changes to match the holiday! His family has been collecting blue goose decor over many years, which you can find throughout the store. I learned that a female goose can just be called a goose. A male goose is a gander, and Gander Taphouse is in the same plaza. Yesterday I learned that mandarin oranges taste better a day or longer after they have been picked. It takes time for them to sweeten. You can find a variety of local farm goods here, such as honey, scented candles, Earth & Vine products, local Newcastle Mandarin Ranch products, and Petaluma Creamery cheeses. You can buy pies here. I might call ahead to ask about available flavors. You can find limited produce here. I've bought a large tomato, finger grapes, and a ruby grapefruit here. Fuyu and Hachiya Persimmons are currently in season and look beautiful. Prices resemble that of a farmers market. If you like to support local farms, please stop by Blue Goose Produce.

We've driven by dozens of times but had never heard of it. We are so glad we found it on Yelp, because the food is great and the service is amazing. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we arrived, with only one table seated. The hostess asked if we had reservations, and we did not. Apparently we just got lucky and got there right before the whole restaurant filled up. Right after we placed our order, it got busy! I would recommend reservations for next time. Ian was our server and he was really great. He knew the menu well and had good suggestions. We started with the focaccia bread which was warm and soft and came with Balsamic vinegar and olive for dipping. It was delicious. For starters, we ordered the meatballs. They come with a crispy bread and a cheesy cream sauce and marinara. So delicious. The meatballs and a Caesar salad with a glass of wine would make for a lovely next meal, so we plan on coming back soon to have that for lunch. For entrees, I ordered the lamb rib ravioli, which is new on the spring menu and was lightly sweet, savory and delicious. Handmade ravioli stuffed with tender lamb meat, garnished with pea shoot tendrils and mint. Do try. My husband had the pappardelle Ragu. It was amazing. Maybe my favorite of what we ordered. It's a rich beef sauce over wide handmade noodles. It's a very comforting dish, rich, savory and beefy. Great with a red wine. We tried the Key lime cheesecake for desert. It was also worth mentioning. We had a great experience and look forward to becoming regulars here.

I believe I found them thru Yelp while looking around at cities on the way back to SJ. We walked in and easily got a table. The space is pretty big. I was worried I may be too dressed down. I was in athleisure and a comfy sweatshirt, but there were people in shorts and t-shirts, so no real dress code here. Dinner started with a complimentary cheesy kinda garlicky bread. The hubs enjoyed that. The scallops were an app. A lil dry. I think due to the way they seared it. But it was a good size with three scallops. The house salads were a nice intro into our mains. A good portion for a an inclusion. My pasta was huge. Plenty of seafood and sauce. And it was nice and creamy which was what I was craving. The hubs sole was fine. I'm not a huge lemon caper person, but it was a good temp. I don't believe the broccoli was sauteed in anything so it's just seemed veg. I like broccoli by itself, so this was fine with me. Nice impromptu stop on the way home. REVIEW #4038
