a bar with red chairs
Alex L.

Morgan's is, quite possibly, the best kept secret in Sacramento. Located on the second floor of the historic Public Market building within the Sheraton Grand Hotel, it offers an eclectic fine dining experience that won't break your pocketbook. Let's start with the food. I had a California-themed burger with avocado and bacon. Oh lord. I had to look around to see if there was anyone having an equally ethereal experience. Sure enough, I could see folks at neighboring tables nodding their heads in satisfaction, and from the looks of the food on the plates before them, I can see why. If you're not already sold, consider that Chef Russell here WON last year's Celebrity Chef Tournament and the reviews of the food from an Oscar-themed Yelp event here were through the roof. Go. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat.

$7 bowl of fruit
Tabitha E.

Pbfft, hotel restaurant says it all. We came down for breakfast, which cost an arm and a leg and takes no more effort than pre-cooked bacon, and powdered eggs. The eggs and bacon, is $14... that is one of the cheapest things! The oatmeal and yogurt 'buffet' is $15, while the full buffet is $20. Don't forget you do get a drink with it though... *delayed applause* I wasn't that hungry, so I asked for a bowl of fruit ($7) with only cantaloupe, and the cantaloupe was ripe and tasty. I stole a bite of bacon, again, thin, precooked stuff. The best part of this meal was the miniature condiments honestly. It was majority rules, as I would have never ate here on my own. ProTip, order off the room service kids menu... everything is like $8 and is a regular sized portion. We had chicken tenders and fries and two orders were more than enough for 3 people. They also have eggs and meat and ham and cheese omelets on it for $8.

Salmon with Corn-Poblano Relish and Crispy Purple Potatoes

We came to enjoy the fabulous deals from the Yelp Eats! event. We were not disappointed. Service - Wonderful. We were the only people in the restaurant for a while, but we felt nothing but welcome and appreciated the whole time we were there. My friend realized she could not eat her entree after they had prepared it with cilantro, and they immediately whisked it away and presented us with something new quickly and with a smile. Food - Appetizers = Yum. Entree = YUM! Dessert = yum. All in all, the food was good, but there were some definite strong points. Apps: 1) Summer Nectarine Salad - So good. Thin slices of juicy nectarine, tender greens, and a goat cheese brulee. That little brulee was one of the best parts of the meal. So delicious. 2) Heirloom Tomato Soup - Equally wonderful. Nice mouthfeel and flavors. Came with a few housemade focaccia croutons that added a great crunch to the soup. Entrees: 1)Pan-Seared Pork Loin - The pork was good, but it was all of the little accoutrements that made this dish for me. It came with some type of large bean that had a slight pork flavor and what I believe was a balsamic vinaigrette reduction. Absolutely wonderful. It also came with some amazing braised greens. All the flavors married perfectly. Very happy camper. 2) Salmon - The salmon was cooked to perfection. It came with a corn-poblano relish and crispy purple potatoes, both which my friend loved. I thought it was good as well, but simply couldn't compare to my entree. Desserts: 1) Trio of creme brulee - Three flavors (strawberry, vanilla and chocolate) Chocolate was the best, followed by vanilla, with strawberry being a distant second. Tasted more like flavored whipped cream to me than creme brulee, but was good nonetheless. Accompanied by a large shortbread cookie. Also good, but nothing too special. 2) Stone Fruit Crumble - Served a la mode. Ice cream was yummy. You could see little specks of vanilla bean in it. The dish is made fresh to order, so it takes about 15 minutes, but it is yummy. If crumbles are your thing, I highly recommend this one.

This was my first time here and I was definitely not impressed. Parking is in the parking structure but it wasn't too bad cost wise. I did enjoy the food. Good flavors and a good amount. I wouldn't recommend this place for breakfast due to the fact that service was terrible (we were one of two tables) and to pay it took 20 minutes and we still need to flag someone down to pay. The prices were pretty ridiculous. For a cup of coffee, it costs $4 (I might as well go to Starbucks). We constantly had to ask for refills on our water as well. Don't go to this place if you want a pleasant experience. It's not good on your pocket, parking is hard to find since its in downtown or you park in the parking structure, and lastly the service is terrible!

Let me start by saying the service was stellar. Our server was really patient, answered all of our questions, and checked on us often without hovering. Since my girlfriend and I went here for the Yelp Eats event, we stuck primarily to that menu-- our only digression being the asparagus, which was a great decision. Our appetizers were hit or miss (mostly hit). The sweet potato soup was overwhelmingly 'pumpkin-esque,' but my spinach salad was great. I scarfed it down in less than 5 minutes. Do yourself a favor and order their asparagus. Trust me, it is definitely worth it. We both ordered the pork tenderloin as an entree. It had a unique flavor, but the rice was the real show stealer on my plate. We ordered cheesecake to go, and that turned out to be a pretty smart choice as well. All in all, the food was pretty darn good, but the restaurant can be a bit pricey (thank God for Yelp Eats). It does warrant a second trip, in my book.

Oh my goodness the Korean style wings with the kimchi ranch is so delicious, my mouth is very happy "bite" now...

Exquisite seasonings, robust flavor Pork Waffle. Divine!

I have friends in the Sacramento area that have always touted the concept of "farm to fork" in that…read morethe region's farms are the direct source for so many restaurants. We decided for our last night all together we would pick a highly rated one for a special meal. Magpie Cafe right in downtown fit the bill and we were thoroughly impressed by everything. We ordered just about every special plus many other dishes, some multiple, from appetizers through to desserts. It's in a beautiful area of the city, open to the street and green park. We opted to sit outside as it was a lovely evening. The beer menu had some regional favorites, all small and well chosen. For food we went all out, and I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Everything was so colorful and presented beautifully. Highlights were the pickles, fried asparagus, anchovies, and croquettes. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about our dishes, she added to the experience. If you're in the area, this restaurant is worth a stop. They even have a cafe in the airport!

For my last supper in Sacramento, Sam and I went to Magpie. It's always on OPEN TABLE. We sat…read moreoutside, and the weather was perfect. We both had the strawberry lemon basil fizz. The drink contained gin, strawberry syrup, and fresh lemon basil. It was light and refreshing and the perfect spring summer drink. Then we had the baby eggplant which was marinated in a soy glaze. It also had some sort of peanut sauce base. This was a delightful bite. Both of us were very impressed. The presentation was gorgeous. Clearly still on my eggplant craze. One of the reasons we went to Magpie was for the trout dip. In a shocking turn of events, they didn't have it. I think it was an old menu. Maybe their winter menu. This was a bummer. Instead, they had a salmon dip. We got that, and I wish it was more flavorful/smokey. Normally, I'm not a smokey seasoning person, but I think it goes nicely with fish. The chips though were really good. I love a kettle chip. I thought they would be thicker, since the dip was thicker. I'm glad they served the dip with the spoon. We also had the stone fruit salad. I was shocked it didn't come with a cheese, but after I tasted it, the creamy yogurt successfully filled that void. Once again, the plating was gorgeous. I think the peaches were good, but I can tell that later in the summer, these peaches will be even more delectable. I think the pistachios were an excellent choice to this salad. For my main course, I had the painted hills flat iron steak with a Chimichurri sauce and crispy smashed potatoes. The steak was well cooked, and with the seasoning of the chimichurri, it was a delightful bite. Sam had the gnocchi with pesto and fresh tomatoes. The gnocchi was fluffy. Both she and I thought that the pesto was good, but we both wish that we wish there was more of it. I love pesto though, so I am always going to think that. It came in dollops, rather than mixed in, so I think that was part of the problem. We also had to get dessert. I had the ice cream sandwiches. They were made with lemon thyme shortbread cookies with vanilla Guenther's Ice Cream. I wish it was a stronger vanilla taste or a flavored ice cream. The cookies were too good though. Sam had the lavender panna cotta. Normally I am not a huge panna cotta fan, but this one was delicious. It had such a strong lavender taste, in a good way. It kind of tasted like I was eating lotion because of the thickness of the panna cotta with the lavender flavor.

The happy hour prices were reasonable and had so many great options. Can't say for certain about the parking situation because it was a close walk from our hotel. We ordered 2 mocktails, the watermelon sugar and basil berry fizz. Both drinks were super sugary and tart, which I ended up diluting with water. Still refreshing and tasty, but I think it was a bit overkill on sugar. For our mains, we tried the rigatoni bolognese, trio of fries, and chicken tenders. All food and drinks for under $50! The portions were massive, especially the trio of fries, which I was not expecting. The sweet potato fries were a bit soggy compared to the other 2, which were significantly crispier. The chicken tenders were ok and probably the least exciting thing we ordered haha. On the other hand, the bolognese was by far the standout! Flavorful, rich, creamy and the cheese pull from the pasta was to die for. Our server was super cool and patient with us, as it was our first time coming here. Totally recommend checking this place out with a group of friends to enjoy happy hour.

Ella is an upscale restaurant with a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. I felt perfectly at ease wearing shorts and a polo, which speaks to how approachable the space is despite its refined reputation. Although I didn't order an appetizer, the staff surprised me with a complimentary cup of soup. It was delicious--rich, balanced, and a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the meal. For my main dish, I ordered the Crispy Fried Half Chicken with roasted garlic. It arrived with a small bottle of their house‑made hot sauce and was served in generous cuts: two drumsticks, a wing, and a breast (or thigh). The batter was beautifully flaky without falling apart, and the chicken itself was juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. The crisp coating practically melted before giving way to a light crunch, and the hot sauce added just the right amount of subtle heat. I enjoyed it so much that I found myself wishing for a dim corner where I could privately eat every piece straight off the bone with my hands. The next time you are in Sacramento, please visit Ella Dining Room and Bar.

This dish was perfect. The tomahawk was good, but not the best I've had. It contained a good amount of fat, which I had to trim off myself. I did enjoy the tenderness of the tomahawk. We will dine in again for another date night occasion.
