Out back is a vast pario area wiith plenty of seating, and a fountain. Surrounded by plenty of parking Ordered a Jamaican Me Crazy pizza (bbq, chciken, bacon , scallions, jalapenos and pineapple) and a Bushwhacker IPA. My son ordered some grown up mac n cheese. The service was great, food came up in short time, the gal poured my beer nicely without foam. The beer was crisp, cold and tasty. The Mac n cheese, while tasty , was a little vit of a let down. I prefer a more hearty cheesier type, and this was more of a thinner cheesy sauce type. I am normally not one for BBQ sauce on my pizza, but took a chance and was rewarded The flavor combo profile for the pizza was fantastic, a nice comvo of savory , sweet and heat. All in all, really like the vibe, service and menu options , and will have to hit this place up again when I am out this way

The waiter was very polite and was attentive towards our order and refills. We did have to wait almost 20 minutes plus for our food to come out. The place didn't look busy when we came in and other guests had their food before us. Other than the wait time, the food was delicious. I would give the full 5 if the wait time for food was quicker or an update from the waiter.

    What a HUGE let down. I was craving a nice Cobb Salad. Since O'Connor's claims a "wood fire grill"…read moreI anticipated tasty grilled chicken meat (I added it for $6 extra). It tasted like they threw it in a pan, absolutely no flavor. When the server brought out my Cobb salad out they explained that it was missing the avocado, she brought back 2 small slivers, couldn't believe it. There wasn't even nearly enough avocado & chicken meat to eat all the shards of iceberg lettuce (another thing, they didn't include romaine lettuce even though it's printed on the menu). And, no hard boiled eggs. So keep that in mind. I was also excited about their "homemade balsamic vinegar dressing" but also a huge epic fail. Tasted like vinegar. I also can't stand when restaurants serve salads on the square type of plate or tray. It's virtually impossible to eat off of properly. They once served a nice heaping of crispy garlic bread. Mine was soggy and unappetizing. I was starving so I ate it. The good thing is that I have no overeating guilt from eating a gluttonous meal here at least lol. Meh, quality has declined dramatically, especially for a salad that is close to $20. Get the Cobb salad at Crawdads. They do it right!! Just a side note, I don't bash businesses unnecessarily, or because I am looking to get something free. When I post a not so glowing review it's with the sincere hope that things improve, not to mention, always I view it from the perspective of those hard working families, who for them, eating out is a once in awhile treat.

We tried five different places that she chose based on the group's preferences. We had a cocktail, a coffee drink, a dessert, and a few different dishes from midtown restaurants. I never felt full (the F word!) but I was happily satisfied at the end. I had never eaten at any of these places so now I know more great places to try. Dawnie has an amazing depth of knowledge about the area, the food scene, and the history of our Farm to Fork capital. She loves the city and it shows in how she highlights it in her tour. The biggest surprise for me was the street art. I had never noticed these murals nor did I realize we had a history of street art and unique festivals. I will definitely be checking those out more in the future! I hope to do more of their tours and explore other parts of the city in the future!

We tried several dishes and went with the recommendation of the pappardelle. It wasn't my personal favorite, so I wouldn't mark the restaurant down simply because it didn't suit my taste. I will say, though, that both my date and I felt the braised ribs had a flavor and texture that reminded us more of canned tuna. I know that sounds wild, but I just couldn't convince my brain that I was actually eating beef! That said, the calamari was delicious, as were the roasted artichoke hearts. We also really enjoyed the seafood linguine, which had great flavor. Add a couple of adult beverages and some good conversation, and it made for a great date night away from the kids. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back to try some more of the menu. If you're in Folsom and looking for a nice place for dinner, I'd definitely recommend giving Fioris a try!

    Just finished dinner here with a party of 8. Service was extremely slow/poor and it took well over…read morean hour for the food to come out after ordering. Drinks were good, but the quality of the food was mediocre. What was particularly disappointing was watching the manager ask the table next to us to leave because they wanted to seat another party. They were seated at the same time as us and had also waited nearly 1.5 hours for their food. Being asked to leave due exclusively to the restaurant's slow service is beyond inappropriate and an embarrassing way to treat customers (who, it should be noted, did not complain about the long wait for their food). Do better Fiori. We will not be back.

Ambiance: The outdoor seating is plentiful and tastefully decorated with plants and market lights with a surprising feel of privacy. There is a small but ample indoor bar area and the tables are clean, comfortable and private. Food: There is a nice variety of food options as well as a special that our server thoroughly explained to us. We started with an appetizer of Brussels sprouts and a shared beet and apple salad. We settled on the salmon and penne vodka pasta for our entrees. The Brussel sprouts were so good with small strips of bacon and a nice aioli to dip them in. The Salad was complex and excellent and our entrees were absolutely outstanding. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the pasta was delicious with the perfect tenderness (I don't care for overcooked pasta). The sausages in the pasta were great and the sauce was rich. After dinner we both had coffee and tried their butterscotch pudding and a lemon cheesecake. OMG were they amazing!! I highly recommend either of them. Service: We had an amazing server, Kim, who was thorough, prompt and fun. Our salad, entree, and dessert were timed well and we never had to wait too long. We brought our own wine and she kept our glasses full. For as nice a place that it is and as good as the food is, the prices seem reasonable. I highly recommend trying it out sometime.
