    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!

    This was my first time here Jenn the bartender was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. The pizza was so yummy. the ambiance was sexy,chic just simply amazing

    Bread pudding

    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!!

Pretty easy to look over as they have your Italian basics. We opted for a cranberry and blue cheese salad with candied nut's. We ordered a full to share. I wish we were told it was too big for just 2 people. It's good for about 3-4 people. Without knowing, we also ordered Brussels spouts, which again is for 3-4 people. As for my entree, I ordered the chicken rigatoni. I didn't get to really enjoy it because I was super full by the time it came out. It was saucy and tasted good with the chicken bites. My husband had their famous lasagna. It came out hot so they must bake it as you order which is great! I will say, he said it was extremely cheesy. He had to look for the pasta in it. He did enjoy the flavor. Circling back, we got full with the salad and a small portion of the Brussel sprouts. We had to take our entrees to go. The waitress noticed and said she should have told us that the portions to the appetizers were large. I would have just ordered 1.

I considered getting a half & half but $50 was just really expensive and shocking to me for a pizza. I'm glad I tried it first with the slices. Personally there's some other paces around town I'd prefer first.

Ambience: very comfortable, although very loud inside the dining room-background music along with many patrons conversing. But our wait staff was great. Friendly and engaging - but not over bearing. In fact, i gave this place an extra star just for the wait staff. Other than that, i would rate their entrees...as decent, but there is room for improvement to help raise the bar. Hence 3.5 stars overall Appetizers: 1) fried raviolis - not bad, filled with spinach and ricotta and arrived with marinara dipping sauce 2) fried calamari- too much coating which over powered the delicacy of the squid. Plus, it arrived cold. It came with two dipping sauces which helped. Entrees: 1) Two pies: Sicilian and soppresaata & hot honey: both pies were decent, arrived straight from the oven 2) farmers market salad: very fresh greens, tender pieces of chicken but was missing the fresh corn. 3) spaghetti w/meatballs: nice entree with a mild sauce, but meatballs tasted more filler than actual meat. And the garlic bread was cold 4) rigatoni aka vodka: very nice entree and our diner ordered it with gluten free pasta 5) spaghetti parmesano: entree looked great when it arrived- mild sauce w/al dente noodles but the chicken was over cooked and even dry with a layer of mozzarella that didn't help. And again arrived with cold garlic bread. Would i return? in a few years. but the service was good which made our evening. However i wish all the pasta entrees and calamari appetizer were as good as their pies. Again, little details with their appetizers, pasta, and salad dishes would have made our dining experience more enjoyable.
