    Beef Tartare -  absolutely delicious!!
    Ayleen M.

    Had an incredible tartare here. The service and atmosphere is genuine and warm. Will 100% be back.

    We visited V's Paradise yesterday to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. We'd booked reservations a month in advance because my mom had been following them on social media, and the reality exceeded the hype. The vibes of the restaurant are the perfect blend of classic historic charm and sophisticated modern dining--it's a beautiful space. The hospitality is next-level. Fardeen greeted us warmly and stepped in seamlessly whenever needed. Our server, Zane, was incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through the menu with perfect recommendations. We were even surprised by the owner, Vardan, who personally wished my mother a happy birthday--he is truly genuine and thoughtful. Richard, the general manager, also took the time to share the family history of the business and gave us a tour of the establishment. He even explained the story behind every dish we ordered! The Food & Drinks: The menu is exceptional. We started with the Strawberry Paradise, Old Fashioned, Vodka Martini, and Moscow Mule--all perfectly balanced. For the table, the Meat and Chicken Kebabs and the Chicken Fried Oysters were tender and packed with flavor. We also shared a Tomahawk that my mother described as "cooked to perfection." Our individual entrées--the Halibut, Wagyu Short Rib, NY Steak, and the 5 oz. Japanese Wagyu--were PHENOMENAL. The quality of the meat was exquisite; it takes a lot to impress me, but I was blown away. A huge shoutout to Sasha, who was a total pro at the end of the night, coming in clutch to capture our group photos from every angle to make sure we had the perfect memories. Most importantly, my mom was so happy and thoroughly enjoyed her celebration. Thank you to the entire team at V's for making her 70th so special!

    Make reservations BUT they will list you if not! This was my birthday dinner and this place was a class act! Pet friendly and the whole spot was SWANKY! Worth the wait! There was a mix up and they missed our entrees & brought dessert too soon. They made me feel special on my special day! Everything was delicious and the drinks were perfect! Dress up & go out for a night on the town! They will treat you right!

    Came with some girlfriends for brunch because they posted they had a DJ playing reggaeton music that day and thought it would be a fun vibe. The DJ was set up but he wasn't playing any music, it was all regular music over the loudspeakers. Maybe because it was dead inside??? Anyways, we got a carafe of mimosas which was ridiculously expensive ($55), my friends both got the crab cake Benedict and I opted for the frittata. My frittata was mediocre, it honestly lacked flavor. I had to drown it in Siracha. My potatoes were a tad burn as well. My friends devoured the crab cake Benedict tho, so that must have been good. Overall, I feel this place is a one and done experience for me. I get the location and overhead must be crazy high for this place, but I couldn't justify some of their prices (especially that mimosa carafe). Oh and when we asked the waiter when we were paying our tab what happened to the DJ music, he walked over the to DJ and he started playing the reggaeton music, as were leaving.

    Made a reservation at VS Paradise for my birthday brunch! In my reservation I made a request to sit against a wall for photos (LOL) and they did exactly that! The hospitality here is top tier. The staff and owner Richard were very friendly and knowledgable. I was pleased with every moment of my experience! Our food was delicious and the vibe/atmosphere was EXACTLY what i was wanting. They had the BEST music playing at a perfect volume. I also utilized many areas for my birthday photos and the staff were very accommodating. i brought my own cake and was able to light my own candles. overall, i had a 12/10 experience here at VS Paradise! i will definitely be coming back. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY SO SPECIAL!

    French toast

    We went to V's Paradise specifically because they had a live saxophonist, and it ended up being a great experience. We came during brunch when the space was bright and not too crowded. The hostess and our server were very attentive, they let us choose our seats and even moved us closer to the saxophone, which we appreciated. I ordered hot water, which surprisingly can be hard to get at some places, so I was pleased they brought it without any issue. We tried the Dubai Espresso Martini; it was good, though I think next time I'd just stick with a regular espresso martini. For food, we ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, the French toast, and a side salad that wasn't even on the menu. The crab cakes were delicious and full of flavor. We added a side of fries because they were recommended, and they did not disappoint; thin, crispy, and well seasoned. The French toast was tasty, especially with the compote. The side salad felt very fall-inspired, and I was genuinely impressed with how quickly they put it together even though it wasn't listed on the menu. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at V's Paradise and will definitely be back.

    Lovely bar...shady practices. Ordered the devil's flowers Pinot (@ $15 glass) and when the check came it showed a $25 Pinot plus tax. When I called the bartender out on it, he made it sound like I hadn't specified which Pinot when I ordered, and he just assumed it was the most expensive one when I literally said, "I will have the devil's flower Pinot." Don't try to make me feel bad for your unrequested upsell. The place had a shady vibe from the moment we stepped in, and we won't be back. Also...a lot of seeming shills in the reviews for this place. Caveat emptor.

    Sunday, 8/10/2025 @ V's Paradise. Food is good here. Parking a little hard to find. You just gotta in the parking structure in old Sacramento. Restaurant is still clean and beautiful. Staffs nice. I had a nice time here and enjoyed it. We came here to celebrate a birthday. But one of my friend, after I left, said she had a rough time with the manager and did not like this restaurant. I still gotta bring my spouse to try here. I haven't brought him yet.

    Its a beautiful room, but the food is expensive and mine was under-seasoned non-pesto pesto rigatoni. It came swimming in olive oil with oil-logged eggplant and congealed greasy cheese. My dining partner got a crispy pork sandwich and roasted potatoes which were more edible than what I got.

    Came here on a Saturday night. Made reservations about a week in advance. PARKING: street parking is tricky in the Old Sac area especially by this place. There are a couple of parking lots nearby. Do plan accordingly. INTERIOR: very stunning, upscale decor. Tastefully done. This place is appropriate for a date night or special occasion. You will impress who ever you bring here! Also - people do come here dressed to impress, so do keep that in mind! AMBIANCE: Live saxophone player was a real delight! He was so energetic and fun! Some people got up and danced. There was a photographer that was taking photos of each table. She returned with them framed for sale, which we thought was a bit tacky. Either give a complimentary photo as memorabilia like other upscale steakhouses do, otherwise don't interrupt us for photos and sales like you would experience at an amusement park. $25 is what we overheard the price for 1 picture in a plastic frame was! DINING: the salad were fresh, wines listed paired well with entrees, charcuterie board contents were all well chosen. The cheese was creamy and sweet. For main courses we picked halibut (a bit fishy tasting/smelling), steak (exceptional here!), and corn risotto (amazing!). They were very considerate of my dietary restrictions and were able to make the dish vegetarian (and can make it vegan too!) PLEASE GET DESSERT AND COFFEE HERE! The Armenian coffee is so creamy and some of the best I've ever had here! We enjoyed every bite of the honey cake and ice cream. Service was attentive and welcoming. We really enjoyed this unique experience; this restaurant is truly one of a kind! :)

    V's Paradise is an Armenian owed restaurant located in Old Sac. Now don't let the surrounding Old Sac charm deceive you on the type of decor and ambiance inside. It is far from that and is truly stunning and elegant all throughout. Perfect spot for a date night or perhaps, a night to have a jaw dropping meal experience. Ours was the carousel drink. :) Lots of ooh's and ah's. We came here for my sister's birthday and were treated so kindly. The host, server (Ronshell), and GM were very attentive providing amazing hospitality from start to finish. We ordered a lot because YOLO. Ahhahahaha. The Carousel 8/10 - Jaw dropping, strong, pricy Armenian Caesar 8/10 - Deliciously familiar yet still unique with Armenian flavors Confit Chicken Wings 6/10 - Nothing diff than wings from BWW Tomatoes & Burrata 7/10 - Choice of bread should have been a crusty one and burrata is not for everyone Wagyu Short Rib 9/10 - Magnificently flavorful & tender. Choice of cut can make or break your meal experience. Roasted Corn Risotto (sub lobster for chicken) 10/10 - Looked as if it had been sitting under the heating lamps awhile but the taste absolutely made up for it Pacific Halibut 10/10 - Perfectly tender and fresh Affogato 8/10 - Great wake up dessert and coffee wasn't too bitter Grandma's Honey Cake 5/10 - We couldn't get over the look of this being stacked toast despite it being cake. Flavor was meh Fine dining is definitely the vibe and experience you'll get here. You'll catch live entertainment Friday's and Saturday's. We came on a Sunday so no live music but they had a good playlist going. Due to the seasonal menu this time I was limited on what I truly would enjoy eating. I don't do seafood and eating red meat isn't my preferred protein, hence subbing for chicken in the risotto. As much as I loved my meal I don't think I'll be coming back. However, it is a place I'd recommend to others for the fine dining experience.

    Knowing many restaurants Old Town Sacramento are not A D A compliant, is V's Paradise A D A compliant? If so, is there child menu?

    I did not notice a child's menu however I did not bring any with me. Even though they may be kid friendly. I would NOT advise bringing children. That place is very posh and really not for kids.

This is the entrance to the speakeasy. In prior years the club was open only to members but it is now open to the public. Ambiance: I visited post New Years so they still had some holiday decorations up but really enjoyed the upper class feel. It really doesn't feel like any of the speakeasies I have been to before as it was much brighter and more open space but enjoyed it nonetheless. Food/Drinks: I strictly stayed with Espresso Martinis but they were prepared pretty well. The flatbreads also tasted amazing! They also had a list of different holiday themed drinks for those inclined for some holiday cheer. Service: The service here was super quick. The server came to our table so we did not have to head over to the bar. They came a couple of times to check on us but were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the drink options!

We also all tried the shooters, I had the Nesbitt, and he got the Perry. Every drink was delicious, no complaints from any of us. The lady helping us with our order was super sweet, patient, and friendly, and the guy who seated us deserves a shoutout too. There was a small mix-up, but he made it right and got us that perfect fireplace seating. Gold star service. Overall, I'd rate the experience a solid 9 out of 10. And can we talk about the bathroom for a sec? A black toilet paired with deep green walls? Obsessed. Trophy Club is absolutely becoming one of my favorite spots.

They have a great selection of gin, rum, champagne, and whiskey, and I often lean on the staff for drink suggestions because they're really good at recommending something you might not normally order. A few times now they've pointed me toward a drink that ended up being a hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's always a great time whether you're catching up with friends or doing a date night. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the cocktails. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's part of the experience. Also, because the space is small and intimate, reservations fill up quickly and they do require a deposit, which goes toward your final bill. Helpful tip: make a reservation ahead of time and don't be afraid to ask the staff for drink recommendations -- they're excellent at guiding you to something special. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.

When we walked in I knew I was in the perfect spot-this bar has those low lights that all the bars in the 70s and 80s had-giving off a both romantic and mysterious vibe to it-I was in love with the place from that moment on. The music that day was awesome-I heard they have live music at times but at the time of my visit they did not-they were instead playing 90s and 2000s R&B and Hip Hop-it was wonderful-one banger after another-so yeah I was vibing. Our waitress couldn't have been cooler-she was as friendly as can be-suggesting drinks that were both on and off the menu-her and I were sharing tequila stories based on our shared affinity for the Fortaleza tequila they had in stock -which is super rare and it's how I judge every bar-whether or not they have Fortaleza tequila on hand and The Butterscotch Den had multiple bottles on hand. We ended up going with a few drinks that day. -Strawberry Negroni-($13.00)-This one blew my socks off-my favorite drink in the works is a Negroni but this bar makes a Strawberry version of it and let me tell ya-it's dynamite-10/10 rating -Old Fashioned-($12.00)-This is my go-to order at most bars because it's pretty reliable and most bars can make a decent one and I'd say they make a very solid one here-8.2/10 rating -Cucumber Gimlet with Tequila-($11.00)-This drink was made with lime-sweet vermouth and tequila-it was very refreshing and went down way too easy-rating 8.4/10 -Mezcal mystery drink-($12.00)-This was a drink the bartender made that after we declared our love for the smokiness of mezcal-I wouldn't be able to ask for it again unless I got the same waitress but if your a mezcal lover like I am-this drink was top of the line-smokiness intensity off the charts-9.1/10 rating So a little about the place that I picked up during my visit-I guess they serve food-I didn't know that but after my 2nd drink I looked back and saw this entire dining area with table side grills-so I guess the customers cook their own meats and such-pretty cool concept-my visit was strictly a drinking visit so I didn't partake but it looked pretty cool. I guess they are opened most days from 4p-12am and until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. They do not have a dedicated parking lot for this bar but they are located near 34th and Broadway-so unlimited street parking is available for those who drive here. In closing-I really really enjoyed my visit to The Butterscotch Den and I was pretty sure I had found my new favorite bar in Sacramento with a bar in the Ice Blocks but I am pretty sure that has changed and The Butterscotch Den is my new favorite bar in the greater Sacramento area-if you find yourself looking for a new spot to enjoy some adult beverages or maybe looking for a date night spot-don't hesitate to make your way over to The Butterscotch Den-the place is a true hidden gem. PS-They have a Disco Ball in their lounge area and a vintage non-working cigarette machine-the coolest I tell ya.
