    Leo's special
    Sarah T.

    A hidden gem. Loved the food, portion size, and price. Great breakfast options for a potato lover. From healthy chia puddings loaded with fruits to a hearty skillet, there is something for everyone. I ordered the Leo's Special, Village Potatoes, honey cake, and Pavlova. Loved everything I ordered and would order them all again. The Leo's special has potato pancakes with grilled onions, smoked BBQ brisket, and fried egg on top. The lemon arugula salad was delicious served with half of an avocado. The Village Potatoes comes with a Meat of choice, and I chose the pork sausage. Can't wait to visit again and maybe go next door to take home goodies for dinner.

    I don't remember the name of the dish I got - but it was meat (I chose BBQ brisket), potatoes, and an egg on top.

    We saw this on the internet on my one of my YouTube vloggers. So we decided to come here. We came…read moreon a Saturday morning around 9:00 and there was a few tables but pretty empty. You go up to the counter to tell the waitress that you're there and then she told us to take any seat and brought us menus later. The the place is small and the only I don't know a few tables on one side but there's another long row of tables to the right of the counter. There's a secret menu with the QR code to get other items to order. I start out with a hot chocolate with no whip cream and they used a frother so that was nice. So after looking over the menu we finally ordered my wife got the waffles and then she added soft scrambled eggs and hash browns. The waffle came out cold or not cold actually warm the eggs were overcooked and definitely the hash browns were burned. I ordered the kitchen sink with steak and I asked her to do it medium rare the kitchen sink was really good and the steak was cooked perfectly I really liked it. I also got an order of french toast but it came out and it wasn't warm it was only warm but the fruit was really fresh it had didn't lacked flavor We were very disappointed since we saw this on the internet and thought it was going to be really good. The couple behind us had chickens and waffle and their waffle wasn't cooked thoroughly and the chicken was raw and she thought it was frozen so they returned their food I didn't bother returning any of our items I later heard from the waitress that the restaurant was closing. I asked her what was going on and she said that they just got informed Friday that the restaurant was closing Sunday which was tomorrow for good the rent was raised $3,000 more a month and the chef couldn't owner couldn't afford that and told him on Friday that they're closing Sunday so pretty disappointing it could have been or was I supposedly a good place but now because of the price they're not going to

    Great spot for vibes & photos -- food was a nostalgic surprise…read more Came here with my girls (there were seven of us!) and honestly, it's a cute place if you want pictures for the internet. The lighting and aesthetic definitely give "IG-friendly." I ordered the fried rice and... wow. It tasted just like my mom's fried rice back at home -- literally had a Ratatouille moment where the food takes you back to childhood. The only weird part is the location. It's kind of in an awkward spot, and the bathroom is on the other side of the building, which is annoying when you're with a big group. Service was okay -- nothing bad, just not super attentive. Overall, I'd come back for the photo ops and that nostalgic fried rice.

The service was great, especially considering the size of our group. We ordered the fried pickles, burgers, chicken wings, and the ribeye, and everyone really enjoyed their meals.

Why im giving it 2 stars was the service provided to us, we understand the importance of time, yet we're being treated like "clueless and rushed". Yet everyone else in the establishment were treated well and not rushed. We came at 7:30pm. I rarely get these interactions and frequently explore new restaurants, we were seated and waited about 20 mins until we realized we did not have a server and a new one was given. As we waited we ordered drinks letting us know something had happened to our last server? Not sure we are just customers. I felt rushed, my friends felt rushed after the fact. We were still choosing if we wanted apps or dinner, yet our server kept giving remarks to my friend which was unprofessional with the way there tone of speech no one came to check on us before that. Our drinks we are still sipping on and our friend and I having conversations and a great time we did not allow that to let us feel like our time was short. The server then continued acting ways I thought at first maybe his personality and its just how he is , yet no it continued through the whole night. When ordering dinner he came back and said he will do laps around, we were at that point deciding to leave to another restaurant and get the bill or just stay for dinner. Yet the ambiance is nice and we have a table. We believed we came at a reasonable time. So we stayed and continued our conversations. As he came again we ordered and my friend was ordering her part , the server got highly frustrated she wasn't ready. He even had to take a step back did a spin from our table and then came back in again. We got quiet and just did not know how to respond. So we continued to order. I never had that happen. If someone is deciding maybe giving genuine opinions of whats are great in kitchen 747, first time having dinner at this franchise might as well join in on a conversation without making us feel like we should have not came here? I think where im writing this review is at the end of the night. Zach M gives our bill. I asked if we could split 3 ways if thats an option, he proceeds to slam the bill on the table and says "ur paying". Our friends and I just left it as it is, I was disappointed in the service. We did not once wanted to feel disrespected or disrespect someone. We said our thank you's and left it at that. We thought the connivence of having this restaurant 5 mins from us was a great idea.

It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing. Of course, my date was beautiful. Thank you Butcher and Barrel for an awesome dinner experience!

    I'm torn how to rate this bc some parts were really good, others ok and some just not good. So let…read moreme try it by pros and cons. Pros: The place seemed very clean. The staff were very kinda, helpful and friendly. Someone on staff was thoughtful enough to stock the bathroom as follows: tampons, pads, leak pads, diapers for babies and breast leak pads for those who nurse. This was 10/10 kind and classy. I also loved the bathroom sign which has man, woman, handicap or alien, who cares just wash your hands. This is the attitude we need everywhere. The had as much of a beer and wine collection as I would expect in a small place and the waiter even offered to change my wine if I didn't like it. My food: garlic shrimp (app) was solidly good not amazing but nothing to complain about, ricotta with balsamic drizzle and garlic bread (app) also solidly good, the ricotta was whipped to smooth and the garlic bread was some of the best bread I have had since moving to Sacramento finally bread that didn't taste like sourdough the only part that wasn't good was there was too much balsamic and it was a little bitter but still good. My husband had the cottage pie which he liked but said I wouldn't bc the mushrooms are very prominent. So if you don't mind mushrooms you should like it. He said it was very good. We didn't have dessert bc we were too full. Also the stars hanging from the ceiling were cute The cons: Someone else mentioned it but it does feel a bit like white table cloth cafeteria. Not sure that ruins the experience as it was still comfortable. The booth we sat it was made of comfortable material however, as my husband and I are giants we couldn't sit directly across from each other the tables were too close together and should be adjusted a bit. I found it a bit odd so many sandwiches were on the menu for dinner and in an Italian fusion restaurant. I'd suggest increasing pasta dishes or maybe some other rustic Italian menu items for dinner and make the sandwiches for lunch. This wasn't a regular thing but they had music when we went and it was not good. They didn't need microphones in a space that size that wasn't insulated. It was all too loud and the singers were not in tune all the time. It made the enjoyment of the night less and we had trouble hearing each other. I wouldn't have given them a 3.5 without the music or regular background music. Last thing, I cringed when I saw Italian dishes having cheddar cheese listed as an ingredient in it. However, given how cleanly cooked what I had was and how much care they tried to put into it I would come back and try it on another night. I'm not sure if we will go back but if we do it would be on a non music night.

My daughter tried the oxtails for the very first time, and she absolutely loved them! We also started with the deep-fried deviled eggs appetizer, which was fantastic and a total must-try. ​Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere and team made our meal truly memorable. Miss Pearl (Auntie Pearl) was such a joy, and our waitress, Kim, provided fantastic service from start to finish. To top it all off, we got to briefly chat with the owner, Kevin Johnson, who was so incredibly kind to my daughter. ​We'll definitely be back soon.

Came here about 11 days ago for a friend's birthday. And while it was still good overall (for me at least) I did notice a bit of an overall decline. The drinks were sweeter than before, arguably too sweet now. The gravy for the smothered chicken almost of my friends said was WAY too salty. My oxtails were still fairly tender but quite as much as before and the flavors were a little muted compared to before. The deviled eggs were a bit of a letdown too, pretty dry although the bacon was on point. The place is super clean and you couldn't tell they've been in business as long as they have so that's a plus. Service was pretty good especially considering the party size that came.
