First visit, came with girlfriends for R&B brunch on 3rd Sunday of the month. I believe every…read moreSunday there is a different music genre which might be a new thing for V's. They had a dj but the music isn't too loud that you can't carry on a conversation at the table. It was great music and set the tone for more of a chill vibe (versus other R&B brunch spots that have more of a club/day party atmosphere). V's Paradise is modern elegance, yet not pretentious. It's beautiful. It is located front & center in Old Sac, so I saw quite a mix of customers come in, from the super casual tourist, baseball fans, dressed up couples, and trendy fashionistas. I made a reservation for 11am, but it really didn't get busy til after 12:30pm. I think once the word is out that they have weekend brunch (with a dj), you'll definitely need to make reservations. The dining rooms are gorgeous (restroom too!). Love the velvet furniture and all of the gold and marble accents. V's would make an impressive and sexy date night, or for just any special occasion. I sipped on a mango lemon drop ($15) at the bar while I waited for my friends. With brunch I ordered the most expensive sangria ($18) I've ever had, and it was strong, fruit forward, and beautifully presented. I would order this again. For our mains, we had the roasted vegetable panini ($19) with fries, the burger ($24) with potatoes, and the bacon and eggs ($22) with potatoes and sourdough toast. My panini was good, nothing great. I think they could've used a thinner bread, instead of a hoagie. The crispy matchstick fries were delicious. I asked for a side of ranch, and our server Tyler informed me it was and extra $4! WTF? Really? I didn't need ranch that badly. I do appreciate Tyler for letting me know in advance though. I bet people have complained that they didn't know about that absurd extra charge when they got the bill, and the restaurant had to eat the cost. Kudos to Tyler for avoiding that incident with me. LOL He also saved my friend from ordering the $175 tomahawk steak. She was thinking it was something else and didn't even notice the price. When she ordered it, I looked at her like she was crazy, and Tyler politely steered her away from that suggesting if we we all wanted to share it. The tomahawk is 48oz of meat! She got the bacon & eggs instead. LOL I loved the vibes and the atmosphere of V's. Service was great. All of the staff I came in contact with were friendly and welcoming. Tyler was professional and polite. A great addition to Old Sac.

A sweet little European Cafe out in the middle of "cowboy" country…read more And the cowboys love it! As does everyone else. Including me and my compadres. Once again, thank you Yelp, for leading us to this super friendly, local, and family owned dining establishment. And may I say, very popular too! Just cute as a button with a little patio in front with the feel of being in the great outdoors with all that wonderful fresh air. Bring your doggie. Inside a couple of large booths and real nice bar-type seating too. Perfect for that solo diner. There is another room with more seating also. So about that European food... owner's, Mom, Dad and two daughters, hail from Croatia and Bosnia and offer modern, authentic European dishes as well as American eats too. And I can state with confidence those breakfast/brunch menu items are awesome. Open 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. , with the best "welcoming" customer service on the planet. I experienced it first hand. This is a delicious and happy Cafè for sure. Do not miss it if you are in the Shingle Springs area. Happy eating!

Estelle is a great local choice at DOCO, they offer great coffee, tea, pastries and savory bites…read more I typically only stop by this location when I'm at DOCO for another reason, like an event at the arena, but Estelle is a great stop for any occasion. They have some indoor and outdoor seating and it's a great date night spot or quick stop to pick up a drink and a bite. On my latest visit I popped in with some friends and we ordered some of their desserts and a loaf of bread. I took home a chocolate mousse cake and it was both beautiful and delicious. Whenever I visit the staff is friendly and the food and drinks are consistently delicious and fresh.

I dont have photos of what I got for valentines day but remmeber them being ok but nothing mind-blowing Maybe its just the DOCO one that sucks but I went to give them another chance the day before mother's day and sorely regretted it. I got the matcha croissant ive been hearing about, the new blueberry cream croissant and the mango passionfruit entremet. The Croissants were a huge flop. Blueberry had barely enough filling inside-the cream itself was tasty but croissant was rough in texture and not flaky. Matcha was a bit more flaky and had more filling-I wouldn't say GENEROUS amount as some have said but maybe I just got a bad one. The cream was too subtle -it was more like vanilla with a hint of matcha. The entremet was the only one that didnt suck-it was delicious but again I wouldn't say anywhere in Sacramento has wowed me yet with their entremets compared to places in the bay except for the ones that ginger Elizabeth has had in the past-the flavor itself was on point, i will say the texture of the entremets have a majority layer of the jelly part-if they could perfect the variety of layers you're supposed to get in each bite I would be more impressed as thats the whole point of enjoying an entremet. Honestly I should have just gotten one pastry to try in one day as they are pricey-i paid 31 not including the tip fot my pastries, and in this economy one cannot waste that much on disappointing sweet treats lol

Modern, Russian fusion cuisine at it's best…read more I got the privledge to enjoy the DACHA Goulash, the beef was very tender with the sauce covering it really added depth to the meat's flavor. The Lamb Chop Mangal definitely tasted gamey, if you like the taste of lamb you're gonna love the flavor of this dish, it doesn't get hidden. I would skip the pirogi, a small portion of 1 for $10 and nothing special you can't get at a Russian bakery. Tea was flavorful, lasted 3 of us throughout the dinner (with hot water refills). For dessert we had 3 options, but 1 was out, so we got the honey cake and settled for the pavlova. Honey cake was the definite favorite, dense and creamy, exactly how it should be. The service was intimate. We had the host, bartender, and server checking up on us frequently. To be fair we had the place to ourselves the first half of dinner (around opening 5pm, then people started crowding in around 6). A tip for this restaurant is to get the inkind rewards app to get $50 toward your next $150+ visit or you can also use the blackbird app here as well.

Service is friendly; they seem pretty accommodating of dietary needs, such as gluten-free. Wine pairings work well and have thought behind them. I'm subtracting a star for ambience - on our most recent visit, there were 3 other tables with children; one constantly crying baby right beside us, one kid towards the back was being entertained with cartoons on a phone/tablet without headphones, so we got to listen to that, too. My guess is this is more common with an early reservation than later, and I'm not putting all the blame on the restaurant, but when dinner for two costs $700+, that's just not cool. Maybe a baby sitter fell through or something, but this price point is Fine Dining. I guess next time we'll try for a later reservation, and perhaps ask to sit at the bar if this happens again.

Ever find a place to be...lacking hospitality to new faces in a restaurant?…read more Let's talk about the service first. We came on a Friday night and there were 2-3 other tables. Our server did not give us a breakdown of any dish, or even the categories on the menu (which by the way, are in Russian). They kinda expected us to "know" everything on the menu. My wife and I ended up googling EVERYTHING, and deciding on what to eat after reading other yelp reviews and what the dishes looked like. After taking a good 10mins of googling and figuring out what to order, we had to raise our hand several times, to a point where we had to call our waiter over vocally and with a hand wave to take our order. The restaurant really isn't big with only 2 other tables being occupied, and I guess locals do come here often and chat with the servers, but we're talking a good extra 5min of not looking at a menu and just waiting. People are raving about the service but I personally just didn't experience the same kind of hospitality. We ordered a borsch, a beef stroganoff, and a viennese schnitzel. I wouldn't say the food came out slow, but it was at the pace of a homecooked meal. The borsh tasted a lot better than ones I've had, and the sour cream was very creamy and fresh. The beef stroganoff was the star of the show with how flavorful and creamy it was. The beef was very tender, and the kasha was especially good. It's definitely enough to fill one person up. The viennese schnitzel is basically a fried pork cutlet (like a katsu) but with different seasonings and paired with some kind of red sauce. The mashed potatoes...were just mashed potatoes. The portion felt a little small for the price for what you get, pork cutlet and mashed potatoes being $27. I can see how authentic this place is, but being tucked so far away in Richmond naturally gets it lower foot traffic than other more accessible spots. The food is delicious and if people are willing to take their grandparents here, then you know it's authentic. I just wish the service was more attentive. The portions to price ratio was also pretty low, and I left feeling a little hungry despite spending $75 before tax and tip for 2. This place is feels more geared to reminiscing a childhood flavor with the family over a date night IMO.

They also offer a complimentary photo print, which was a fun and unique addition. Although we didn't get to try the bingsu this time, we did try the Croiffles, and they exceeded expectations--perfectly crispy, and the whipped cream was light and made to perfection. Overall, a delightful dessert spot. We would definitely come back every time we're in the area.

The first instance the drink was noticeably incorrect, tasted like it was 98% milk and very little other flavor. The second, I had to wait over 30 mins for one drink. I went this last time as all the other boba places were closed and I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt- it took a little over 20 mins for my drinks. The place is cute and used to be good, but I don't think I will be back again. I hope that things improve in the future for other customers.
