It was fun trying somewhere new as we usually go to our favorites. For the past several years we've been going to Scott's for celebrations, but that has gotten old so thankfully we found somewhere new and loved it. I highly reccomend this restaurant. The ambiance is spectacular. If you can get one of the side tables under the overhang with the wine bottle chandelier you'll love it. Here's what we ordered: Borscht with Beef: Traditional red soup made with beets, beef, garden vegetables topped with sour cream- To me it didn't look appetizing, but it's a traditional dish so we split a cup. We didn't have much hope that would be edible. We were blown away trying it. It was actually good. We were shocked. It was so good. It was filled with pieces of tomatoes and beets and huge tender chucks of beef. Spinach Blini-Gluten free, vegetarian, 6 blintzes filled with spinach and creamy white sauce. We really enjoyed these Spinach Blini. They were very rich. I could only eat two to them and took the third one with me to share with my husband. He really liked it and wish there was more. I really wanted to get the Cherry Blini, but we were too full even though we shared an entree. I'm so disappointed as they looked so good. We needed a couple more people at our table so we could have tried more dishes and eaten everything family style. Beef Stew-Tender chunks of beef meat, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and this good things stewed in perfectly hearty cheese gravy baked in clay pot and served with tortilla on top. We split this dish and it was the perfect amount for us. It was really good. The chunks of potatoes and meat were huge, the mushrooms were firm, and the flavor was really tasty.

They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes. Overall the ambiance, food, and accessibility make this a great spot for brunch! Will definitely be coming back.

There is hardly ever a wait, which is so nice when you're hungry and ready to sit down. They make all their own pastries and baked goods! If you order a meal that comes with it make sure to try a scone! They are delightfully light and fluffy, just heavenly honestly! They squeeze fresh orange juice! Some top breakfast choices are the Chicken fried steak, eggs Benedict, pancakes, Belgian waffle and omelettes! Their potatoes are homemade style and everything tastes fresh and homemade! Nothing from a mix or a package here. I had my cousins in from the bay and i took them here and their minds were blown. They could not stop saying this was the best breakfast they had in a loooong time. After moving here from San Diego Where any good breakfast spot had an hour wait, I feel lucky to have this gem available to us. The place is decorated like home, with comfortable tables and booths.

Their menu alludes to a lot of secret recipes which is kind of fun. On the table is their proprietary seasoning salt, which definitely tastes good and enhanced the flavor of my eggs.

Just as good as before. First of all, the salad, the greens were very fresh, and the vinaigrette had a nice tang to it. It was not overdressed as some people do on salads. The crêpe itself, it was tender, and it was large. They were very generous with the fillings, and everything played well with each other. I was kind of curious about mixing feta and cheddar, but it was amazingly good. The saltines of the feta was a wonderful contrast to the creaminess of the cheddar cheese. Both cheeses went well with the entire crêpe. I was going to try one of the dessert crêpes, but after this thing, I was full. Next time I will come in specifically for a dessert crêpe.

First time here was absolutely amazing. Great food that came out quick. Our cashier was a bit over attentive but maybe he was just excited for customers. Got the chat steak plates with a side of elote and that was such an amazing experience. That first time really was a book and its cover experience. The place is in a rundown kinda strip mall section. Walking in you don't smell food cooking and the decor is very much.....not there. It's weird. Kinda like your on a vacation somewhere in a poor country and the people spend less time worrying about the ambiance, and just put out food. It's weird to experience here stateside. I was blown away. The second trip....yeah, it seriously fell off. I thought maybe they would have decorated or something. Nope. Same weird front of the house experience. Here's where the rating drops. The quality of the steak fell off so bad I wasn't sure I was at the same place. The steak was like a chewy leather. When I was a chef, I could tell the product I was working with. No way shape nor form should this have left the kitchen. Funny thing also it was the same cook as the first visit. I will give it another crack because I hope this isn't a place that flew too close to the sun and once it got a customer base started dropping on food quality. read more

We recently participated in a basketball tournament and found ourselves famished afterward. After reading positive reviews on Yelp, we decided to give this place a chance. Upon arrival, we were initially hesitant as the restaurant appeared empty. However, our concerns were quickly put to rest when we were warmly greeted by the owner (whose name we unfortunately forgot to ask). The owner was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout our dining experience. For our meal, we ordered two kids' meals: a chicken bowl and a quesadilla. My son had a special request to add shrimp to his quesadilla, which they happily fulfilled. I opted for a taco salad, while my husband chose a plate with shrimp and steak. The food exceeded our expectations and left us completely satisfied. The portions were generous, and the flavors were absolutely delicious. My son and his friend thoroughly enjoyed their meals. They were full but insisted on taking the leftovers home because they food w so good. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was outstanding, thanks to the attentive service, delectable food, and the restaurant's ability to cater to our specific requests. We highly recommend giving it a try! read more

I recently visited The Char Market in Carmichael and tried their bone marrow tacos--absolutely amazing. The bone marrow was rich and flavorful, giving the tacos a unique and authentic taste that reminded me of homemade cooking. The menu offers a variety of options, but the bone marrow tacos stood out as a must-try. The combination of tender meat and perfectly seasoned toppings made for an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive. It's clear that The Char Market takes pride in delivering quality food and service. If you're in the Sacramento area and looking for a place that serves authentic and delicious tacos, The Char Market is definitely worth a visit. read more

When it first opened, it was so amazing. I could eat their food cold. I'd loved it. I would crave it. Then they started putting beans in their bulldog bowls without telling anyone. I'm allergic to beans. It would've been nice for heads up. They fixed it and the food was still OK. I went back two days ago and it was horrible. Like I said, I could eat it cold. It was so mushy and gross. I could barely eat it. There was hardly any rice. The kids bulldog bowls now half the portion. Weren't told that either. Quality is definitely going downhill now I know why it's always empty. read more

Every bite was delicious. The sauces were amazing, and the beans were so good I ended up using them as a dip once I ran out of BBQ sauce. Portion sizes were generous too, I left completely stuffed. If I had to pick a favorite, the chicken tacos take the top spot. The only thing that didn't blow me away was the mac and cheese. If you like your mac extra cheesy, you'll probably love it. I just prefer more noodle to cheese ratio, so it wasn't for me. I didn't get a chance to try the smash burgers since I was way too full, but I watched other people order them and they looked incredible. That alone is enough to bring me back. Still can't believe a food truck out-BBQ'd everything I've had back home. Can't wait to come back and try those burgers.

We used to go to other spots around but the quality has gone down and mostly rice. The meat to rice ratio is perfect. We dream about the XX burrito and quesadilla often, You won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed the food here! I tried the chicken, soy chorizo, and carne asada tacos, and the…read morechicken tacos were definitely my favorite. All of the meats were well-seasoned and flavorful. My only small critique was that the salsa seemed a little watery for my taste. The aguas frescas were also delicious! I got the pineapple strawberry, which was so refreshing, and my husband got the horchata, which he really enjoyed.
