    Fall Menu pizza
    Sarah T.

    Fun seasonal/themed menus for any kind of holiday or events. Plus, the place to be for celebratory Chambongs. Came here with my girl friends for a quick bite before watching the Taylor Swift eras tour at the Esquire IMAX theater, and it was awesome. Love the Pumpkin Curry Soup, fall bruschetta, and of course the Chambongs. It's been awhile since we took shots, but the Casaamigo tequila was really good. Had a vanilla aftertaste. Highly recommend stopping by on your night out in midtown.

    Afternoon tea

    This review is for their afternoon tea. I love that a bar offers afternoon tea lol (first Saturday of the month here), not a place you'd expect to have afternoon tea, that's for sure! At $38 per set (portions are definitely good for two people) and $14 for a pot of tea, prices are definitely on the lower end. I have to say though that for the quality you get, it definitely isn't worth any more than that. Everything seemed store-bought and not fresh, and nothing really tickled my fancy taste-wise. Parking is also very difficult in this area. We parked in a garage a couple blocks away and paid about $10 for a couple hours or so. Presentation was nice and service was fine; I just wish the food tasted better!

    I give this place a 10/10. We went here for a girlfriend's birthday. It was about 12 of us. From the beginning, it was a great vibe. The ambiance was everything we wanted. Very welcoming. It gave a cozy feeling, but also felt vibrant and lively at the same time. Our server, Steven was amazing! He didn't make us feel rushed, he was attentive to our needs, gave us descriptions of the menu/drink items we asked about, and at the end of the night, celebrated the birthday girl with us! The bartender made each drink to perfection. No drink was too weak, too sweet, or anything negative. About the food: -The girls in our party said the bread pudding was good. But I don't like soggy bread so it's a no for me. They said the flavor was amazing and consistency was exactly what bread pudding is supposed to be like. -Charcuterie board had a great variety. The cheese was good, the fruit was fresh, the veggies were pickled to perfection, and the bread wasn't toasted too hard. The only thing we didn't like was the pit inside of the olives. But that wasn't a deal breaker.. We still ate em! -Hummus, ON POINT!! -Pesto pizza, AMAZING -Mac n cheese, meh.. there was some kind of sweetness to it that none of us liked. It wasn't gross though. Just a sweetness that we aren't used to. Shortly after our event, the owner followed up with an email just to see about our experience. I've never had that happen before. We will definitely be back!

    Got d awful low quality frozen food that is like from Costco packaged foods. It's displayed in an unprofessional manner and it's literally mictiowaced. Why would anyone patronize this place ?the chicken was dry and disgusting.i got really sick from this food.

    The best happy hour spot in Sac! I came here on a Thursday, ordered everything on the happy hour menu and was more than impressed! The garlic peanuts were shockingly tasty, the chicken quesadilla was delicious, and who doesn't love Brussel sprouts. The vibe here is dark and moody. The velvet couches and mix of large and small tables makes this spot perfect for a small date night or a kickoff spot for a bachelorette party.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Went with a friend to have a girls night to get a couple drinks and catch up. Walked in and was immediately drawn in to the vibes. Many options of places to sit. They were having an event but still accommodated others who were not attending. Great customer service as the three people I saw working behind the bar that night came to check in with us. Did not get anything to eat but will be trying their food the next time I go.

    Located across the IMAX. Indoor/Outdoor seating ..the indoor being pretty cute with little sitting areas and a bar (long side had hooks underneath). The food is made in-house with few vegan options. They had a specialty cocktail list and it's nice to see different concoctions or modified classics.. I tried leaving my card to open a tab and was refused and told they just cash you out in the end. Personally, I wouldn't trust a drunk to walk away without paying.. but perhaps it's a Covid thing.

    Dining Space
    Desiree C.

    A hidden gem! We came for the dessert and it did not disappoint! Boozie apple pie with homemade whipped cream... mmm mmm good! The ambiance was perfect. It felt like we were walking in to a big living room/lounge space with comfy seating all around. There was a dining space with a beautiful rug under a big dining table and wonderful lighting throughout the whole space. What I appreciated most was the owner. I did not catch her name but she was as sweet as can be. 3 weeks after having a little baby and she was back in the hustle and bustle of business owning! WOW!!! And.... She ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HER CUSTOMERS which is so abnormal and SOOOO refreshing! I would go back just for her. Try this place and you will not be disappointed. It's a fun spot for an evening out!!!

    First time visiting Smic's last night and holy happy heifer was it amazing! First, the location is dope because they have a quaint, and relaxing patio space and it's off the crazier part of K street. While we couldn't eat/drink inside, we did venture in for a few minutes and the decor inside is rad! Really spacious and classy, but not pretentious and ritzy. Second, the menu. OMG that menu! We ate almost everything on there and every item exceeded our expectations. I will wholeheartedly vouch for that mac & cheese, margarita flatbread, and charcuterie number. Everything tasted fresher than fresh and I truly couldn't stop stuffing food in my yapper. When it started to become painful in my midsection, I finally figured out I should stop. From a sippables standpoint, they had a simple but sophisticated selection of wines and beers, all local, of course. Last, but certainly not least, the service was great! Our glasses never ran dry, we got a killer recommendation on prosciutto in our mac and just all around had a great time. This is a phenomenal date spot or a cool joint to meet friends for a relaxed happy hour. Just make sure to get a reservation until they're able to open back up inside.

    Just get it. This is also a small board!!

    Perfect outdoor space during codv! My mother and I came to check out this cute place and wish I remembered to take a photo when I was inside to use the restroom. Great friendly service from every single lady. #inthecompanyofwomen My mother was impressed and she's very critical about tastes. She appraised the flat beard and our charcuterie board; especially, the cheeses! Those were her favorite. I love my beer and rosé! Great beer recommendation from the staff. Definitely coming back when I'm in the valley again!!

The cheese pizza here is great; it's topped with dollops of ricotta and ribbons of fresh basil. They have a daily special: the Dino slice, which I'll often get as well. Sometimes the toppings are fun (e.g. pickles) and other times more run-of-the-mill (e.g. salami, bell peppers, etc) but I've never been disappointed even when I thought the flavors would be odd. They used to be pretty good about posting on Instagram what was on the Dino slice was, but I don't see it quite as often these days. If you're into saucing up your pizza, you can get ranch or hot honey or Dino sauce. It's been a while since I had the Dino sauce, but I recall it being tangy and cilantro-y with a bit of a spice kick. It sounds a bit different/odd, but I like getting it from time to time. The Dino eggs, from my recollection, are basically pizza dough balls. Mostly bread, which is fine since their bread/pizza crust is great, but I'd rather just stick to the pizza, so I only tried these once. The fries are good. Though, I probably wouldn't order them alongside the pizza unless you're looking for a carb bomb of a meal (which is what I had done the one time I ordered them). They're probably best if you're just looking for a snack to go with your beer & aren't planning on eating a whole bunch of pizza. They're quite good though. Nice and crispy. And it's a pretty big serving size. They have a dozen or so taps of various beers. Some local, some not. And they have a selection of cans and bottles as well. There isn't a ton of inside seating. A half dozen or so tables? And a few bar seats. There's probably more total seats in front and in the outside side patio. There's only street parking & there's lots of small shops nearby, so you might have to take a short walk from your car to get there.

My partner and I ordered the dino slice which was a chicken, artichoke, spinach, olive pizza was well as a pepperoni to share. My partner loved the dino slice and I'm more of a plain pizza girl so I preferred the pepperoni. I would like to try the potato pizza one day. Hoping it's offered as a dino slice when we go next!

I got the very last classic cheese square available that day and a slice of pepperoni & Hawaiian. I really like the thinner crust on the pizza and felt both slices were super fresh & not too oily (personal pet peeve). The cheese square was yummy and a pretty good size, so I can understand the hype!! I would want to try their other flavors of square. After our meal I saw they have offered soft serve on their menu and the staff told me the flavors are always changing! We had churro and vanilla swirl that day, which was AMAZING, and have since come back for their Dole Whip pineapple.

It is a relatively small restaurant but luckily every time we've coming during lunch it hasn't been too crazy.

During my visit this time around we came for their Jimboy's collab. Who would've thought I'd actually want some lettuce on my pizza? Lol. This was a very interesting yet delicious pizza that I wouldn't mind getting again for a change in taste. I love carbs so that's the reason for my rating. If it had a little more dough it'd be an easy 5 stars. I'm just looking for the biggest bang with my buck!

I never really appreciated the distinct taste of NY pizza until I've had bites in Manhattan then Giovanni's until the past few years. I recommended to my out-of-town friends to spend our afternoon here at East Sac to have a few beers and pizza. The place was empty at 5 on a Thursday, so we perused the to-go menu before ordering. The cashier was nice enough to give us samples of Alaro West Coast's and Bike Dog's IPAs. We munched on the delicious half Da Bronx Bomber and half Pizza Pie while enjoying our beverages. I don't usually indulge in this cheesy Italian treat but Giovanni's gets my authentic New York style pizza craving. The crew was quick with our orders. The place was clean with a huge Big Apple collage and topical frames plastered on the wall. The arcade area and restrooms need refurbishments but I don't think that's a reason patrons come here to dine-in.

He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped me find the perfect meal(Fettucine Arrositi) to fit my current dietary restrictions. He also helped my grandma find something on the menu that wouldn't be too carb heavy since she is diabetic. He was pleasant all around, he was patient with my grandma all night and made me feel like he truly valued our time and didn't rush us. He is everything you want in a server-kind,direct,knowledgeable, and dependable. I would come back any time just to get customer service like that. Now on to the food, I had the Fettucine Arrositi which I believe is their signature dish. I have had it before but this time it was especially delicious. The sauce has a flavor like no other pasta I've ever had it's rich but not too rich creamy but not too creamy and the thing that sets it apart from other creamy pastas is the subtle Cajun flavor. It tastes a bit like old bay and Tabasco to me with some other amazing things in it I'm sure but it was delicious 9/10 My grandma likes to order a lot of things for the table because she never got to have that so she ordered a bunch of things for herself to try and for me to finish. We had the meatballs and they were fantastic but she felt they were too big haha 9/10. Then we had the calamari which was my favorite of the appetizers we ordered. I'm hoping next time to try the polenta fries. Then for her main course my grandma had the wedge salad which she loved but she did mention she wished it had lots more bacon and I can't blame because I too always want more bacon on things. All in all it was a great experience and I will be back very soon.
