Ski lodge vibe in Folsom? That Tahoe experience is closer than you'd think!…read more Located in a former escape room, Yager Lodge is more a place where you'll want to escape to instead of the other way around. Not so obvious from the entrance on Sutter Street, one descends from the street level down the "loft" to the underground bar, where suddenly you're in an exclusive speakeasy that feels like vacation. Emily, the General Manager, has roots in Allora and Mikuni, two places where the lost art of guest service is the highest priority. She's passionate about hospitality and says that people keep telling her she reminds them of their favorite bar manager from [fill in the blank]...come in and see who she reminds you of! The drink list is hardcover book-bound (cool!), with a past, present and future theme fitting for historic Folsom, featuring libations from classics to cutting edge. Time travel from the Filthy Martini (circa 1901, great if you love bleu cheese) all the way to S'mores in Jalisco (circa RIGHT NOW)! The S'mores cocktails (yes, there's more than one) are literally FIRE; they're topped with flaming marshmallows. So fun, with Halloween coming up it's ghost stories around the mini-campfire. The menu focuses on appetizers, with the Jalapeno Poppers holding a solid spot as their own unique Thing, a whipped masa creation that you can't find anywhere else. The upscale steakhouse food menu isn't your standard boring bar munchies, either...but it's really about the ambience and service. *Brunch Saturdays and Sundays starting at 10:00 AM* And speaking of pop-ups - heads-up, closed on Tuesdays through October in prep for exclusive events (Follow on Instagram!). The BIG multi-level venue takes days to decorate and no doubt will be decked out in awesome style!

My friend and I were excited to check out this lounge after seeing it highly recommended on IG as a…read morefun lively spot. We came in on a Saturday night and were seated in the back room. Unfortunately, the vibe back here felt a little too quiet and a bit lonely. We found ourselves dining among an older crowd and the energy just didn't feel quite like advertised. The food menu did not have many interesting items to choose from. My cheeseburger was unfortunately way too salty and overcooked. The drinks were pretty good, but were only filled just about 3/4 of the way which was kind of disappointing. We enjoyed the cabin like decor and cozy atmosphere. On our way out, we realized we probably should've asked to be seated at the bar or in the main lounge area. That space looked much livelier and seemed to have the energy we were hoping for. We might give this place another try just to experience it from the bar lounge area next time.

Do not book unless you want to risk your reservation being cancelled…read more On August 20, I reserved a table for Sept. 19. I attempted to reserve the table earlier, but August 20 was the earliest it would let me book out. I had been planning my fiancée's birthday celebration for over month. I planned the whole celebration around this speakeasy and was so excited to end the night celebrating here; hence why I made sure to book everything far in advance. TWO DAYS before my reservation, I get a text saying "Sorry for any inconvenience" but my reservation has to be rescheduled/cancelled because the speakeasy had been privately booked. I then receive a follow-up text from them saying to "please note that their website says reservations are subject to change." Here's a note for your business.... Maybe don't accept private bookings the week of. Give general customers more than two days notice that their reservation has to be moved. Now I am scrambling to come up with new birthday plans two days before my fiancée's birthday, even though I planned this all a month ago. Again, I was so excited to try this place out, but now I would truly never recommend this place.

This room has tons of neon paint and funky decor, it's also where they have live music playing and an upstairs area you can sit in. The other areas are indoor/outdoor and they have seats outside on the front and back patio you can sit and smoke at. Depending on a lot of factors you might love it or might not. There's a big mix of people you'll meet here and there are some interesting individuals you'll meet. For the most part the music is decent, lots of space to dance, good drinks, and you can definitely make it more fun with a great group of people.

There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

Bella Maci was an absolute delight from start to finish. The ambience was so cozy and homey. Brooke greeted us with a smile when we arrived and was so fun and adorable -- everything from her necklace to her nails reflected her personality and made us feel instantly welcome. Brian, the owner, was warm and pleasant, which added to the inviting atmosphere. Maci, their daughter, was our server, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and very sweet. Her recommendations and her service were spot on. The orecchiette with spring peas, basil pesto, pine nuts, and parmesan was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The lobster fettuccine was decadent and indulgent, with generous, tender pieces of lobster throughout, making the dish feel truly special. The Caesar salad with baby kale and Marcona almonds was crisp, refreshing, and full of flavor. We finished with the tiramisu, which was super light, airy, and flavorful -- the perfect ending to an incredible meal. Every detail, from the food to the service, reflected care and passion. You can truly feel the heart behind this restaurant. We will absolutely be back. read more

We visited this adorable little place today for lunch. We have been hearing great things and had to see for ourselves. My husband got risotto, and I had the penne. We also got the bruschetta app, and a lemon cake for dessert. All were fantastic. Maci was our server and she was lovely. Personable and sweet. I love restaurants that are actually family operated. Its a tiny place, so if you are going for dinner- it would strongly encourage a reservation. They only thing I'd suggest, but totally not food or service related, is some fun hanging lights above each table. It felt a little sparce from a decor standpoint but maybe thats just because they are so new. Overall we will be back! Thank you Maci for being so kind to us today. read more

We were then greeted by an amazing Hostess who then asked how many and where would we like to sit. We said that it was 2 and that we wanted a Table or a Half Table / Half Booth. We sat down and then we waited about 2 or 3 minutes and then our waitress came over and asked what we wanted to drink. Being that the place had Pepsi products we asked for Pepsi and then a little bit time afterwards we got our drinks as we continued looking over the menu. After a few minutes we ordered our Entrees we got our Wedge Salads and let me tell you that our Wedge salads were delicious. It wasn't long after that our entrees came but let me tell you the Wedge Salads were delicious especially after we asked for extra Blue Cheese dressing. Being that my wife ordered the Wagyu Teriyaki Sirloin w/Mushrooms and I ordered a Mushroom Burger we then waited a couple of minutes after for our food to get cooked and come out. The whole time our waitress was very attentive and kept asking if there was anything we needed or if she could refill our drinks. About 5 to 10 minutes later our food arrived and not only was my Hamburger hot, but my wifes Wagyu Teriyaki Steak was delicious as well. I know I tried a piece of it while I cut it for her, being that she is left handed. Overall everything was absolutely delicious and being first timers at this restaurant we thoroughly enjoyed our food, the service and the experience we had while eating here. Thank you Land Ocean for giving 2 first time customers a beautiful experience. Knowing that Wagyu beef is by far top grade meat, I'll be back to eat some myself. After taking a bite out of her steak, the meat just literally melted in your mouth. I cant just give this place a 5 I'd give it a 10 being that everything was wonderful.

For starters, we ordered French bread with salted butter, calamari with peppers and onions, and beef Wellington. Wow, ALL of these appetizers are exceptional! The fried onions tossed in with the calamari were deliciously sweet! The sauce of the beef Wellington was creamy and the puff pastry hugging the mushroom and beef was the cherry on top for this appetizer! Adam was our server who is kind, funny, attentive, and helped us with all of our menu questions. He checked on us often, making sure we had everything we needed and to make sure everything we ordered looked good and tasted good. Their other staff who brought our food, cleared plates and glasses, and checked on us, added to the excellent Land Ocean service! I asked for the top three menu entrees customers order and with this, Adam convinced me to order the Macadamia Nut Crusted Chilean Sea Bass with coconut jasmine rice and soy-ginger glaze. I ordered spinach sub, instead of the asparagus, due to dietary restrictions. OMG my first fork full brought me back to Honolulu, HI! The macadamia nuts were candied on top of the sea bass, making this the BEST sea bass with macadamia nut dish I have ever eaten outside of HI! My mom took one bite and decided to order this plate for herself because it is THAT rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced with the flavors of the spinach, rice, and sea bass. The sea bass is extremely flaky, to add to why this is my new favorite dish in Land Ocean! My parents gave me their roasted chicken leftovers to take home, since this entree is with generous portions, so I was spoiled with Land Ocean for a meal at home the next day. The chicken and mashed potatoes are so savory to the point that I ate every piece of meat I could from the bone! My parents came from out of town to visit. They praised Adam for his outstanding service and raved about the ambiance and taste and presentation of our Land Ocean dinner we enjoyed!

We had two different pizzas. One a margarita and the other cheese. Both were great and we all loved the sauce & crust. I had the chicken and vegetable entree. The chicken was cooked perfectly.
