Everything I have had has always been delicious - the stuffed pepper appetizers are especially good! They maintain such a cozy, authentic atmosphere inside, and I absolutely love dining in here. The topic of Italian food in Sacramento seems to be hotly debated, but I think Adamo's is consistently one of the best options. I will certainly continue to come back and stuff my face

We visited Frog & Slim for Mother's Day and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The food was…read moreexcellent -- thoughtfully prepared, well-executed, and the unique menu clearly reflected the creativity and skill of the chef. Every dish we ordered was flavorful and memorable, and the quality of the food was easily the highlight of the evening. That said, given the restaurant's reputation and price point, we expected a more elevated dining atmosphere. The seating consisted of simple bench-style arrangements that felt more casual than anticipated, and the smaller layout made the restaurant quite loud and crowded during peak hours. Since every table was full for the holiday, conversations carried easily throughout the space, and the lack of high-backed seating offered very little privacy between tables. We had also anticipated a slightly more upscale ambiance overall. My girlfriend and I dressed for what we expected would be a fine dining experience, but the atmosphere leaned much more casual, with many guests dressed in jeans and T-shirts. Of course, this is more of an observation than a criticism, but it did contribute to the experience feeling less refined than expected. In the end, the outstanding food ultimately made up for many of the atmosphere-related shortcomings. While the ambiance did not fully align with our expectations for such a highly rated restaurant, the quality of the cuisine absolutely stood out and is what we will remember most.

I really wanted to like Hawks as it was recommended online to me as someone visiting from out of…read moretown. However, it ended up being one of those places that looks great but is solidly mid, and is questionably expensive to boot. I got the beet salad, which was more like an artfully arranged minimalist deconstructed salad popular in the mid-2000s. While the beets themselves (an exaggeration, when recombined there was a total of one (1) beet) were good, it came with these weird rubbery smashed goat cheese disks that were bland and seemed like they were premade a week ago. Like the saying goes, "The food was bad and there was not enough of it." For my main, I got a burger and fries, which was... fine. It was an okay burger. The fries were also just okay. But for the price they really should have been MUCH better. Plus, it's one of those tall, unwieldy, towering burgers that guarantees an underseasoned patty and unintentional deconstruction during the meal. On my way back to the south bay I got a way better burger for way less at Cali Kid. My service was actually quite good - my waiter was very attentive and checked on me often, and was friendly and engaging. Ambiance-wise, it's very cozy with a cabin, public house vibe. I feel like it might be a better place to get drinks and soak up the relaxed vibes before a main event elsewhere. This place could be so much better if they just tweaked the food a little... or a lot.

Not to mention, all of the food was f$cking fantastic and the pours were strong! Highly recommend the Korean friend chicken and poke nachos. All of this to say, we don't live in Sacramento but we will definitely be back when we're in town thanks to Madison and the wonderful staff.

A colleague chose Canon for a work team dinner. Somehow, I hadn't even heard of this restaurant, so…read morei checked it out on Yelp and Maps. I immediately didn't like the location because I thought it would be hard to find parking. After looking at the menu, I was intrigued by the family style service, which I like but I wasn't excited about the food options. Oh well, it's a work dinner.... Finding a parking spot was indeed a bit difficult. It took me about 15 minutes until I got one within a few blocks. Maybe it's just me, but as big as the restaurant is, it didn't stand out from the street, which set me up for a Frank Lloyd Wright experience of entering through a small confined experience and then after crossing the threshold the space opening up in a big way. Inside, the restaurant seems spacious. It's open and airy. Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted by a friendly greeter who showed me to the table. After sitting down, a waiter greeted me and asked me for a drink order within a minute or two. We were off to a good start! There were already some appetizer-type dishes on the table. I had no idea what they were but they looked interesting and I was hungry. Wow! They were tasty. Over a couple hours, I sampled all kinds of dishes and every one of them was excellent! They were creative and eclectic dishes. They were made of combinations of ingredients that by description alone didn't strike me as appetizing. How wrong I was! The service that we experienced was excellent too. Throughout the dinner the staff were super attentive and friendly. This restaurant proved all of my preconceptions wrong (except for the parking). The ambiance was good, and the food and service were excellent. I'll be back soon. Highly recommended!

The establishment was easy to locate, parking was limited and they offered indoor and patio seating. The inside was very loud but modern and cute. We honestly weren't wowd over the selection for entrees so we decided to go with appetizers, cocktails and desserts. The tots were crisp and the mole was a perfect flavor combo. The shrimp beignet was amazing, I could have ate two servings. For cocktails we ordered the "first born" and a classic margarita, both were tasty. And for desserts we chose the honey basque cheesecake (didn't love), 50/50 pot de creme 10/10, and the carrot cake churros (worth trying). Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, I didn't catch her name though. Over all, I'd say worth a try once, but I wouldn't choose again.

We had the perfect amount of food and variety. They have a full bar, with variety of wine and alcohol. Our party ordered champagne, wine and a few cocktails. To start, we had the beet salad, crispy pork belly, Brussels sprouts, and flat iron steak. For dinner we all shared the steak salad, shrimp scampi bucatini, baked ziti, Mac and Cheese, and roasted chicken Our compliments to the chef...Everything had so much flavor and there was no disappointing anyone in our party.

My mother-in-law went to find a staff person and they pointed us to a table with a reserved sign. It took awhile before our table was acknowledged, but we did eventually receive menus and have our drink orders taken. This certainly isn't a place to eat when you're in a hurry. Again, there was a lag between our drinks being ordered and coming out to the table. The cocktails themselves were very enjoyable and well crafted. The drinks and some appetizers held us over until dinner came out. Overall, the food turned out to be worth the wait! That was a pleasant surprise after the service started out so roughly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and that was enough to bring this dinner up from a 3 to a 4 star experience! I really hope they're able to hire in more staff because they serve some great food and beverages.

The food was tasty, but I was a bit disappointed with the portion size considering the price ($26).
