    Our son's orthodontist is just across the street thus we decided to pop in while we waited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a simple clean vibe and the food is super fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner was really nice which made the experience even better!

    Menu cover reflects the vib! Nice cover.

    Invited for a gathering here and was pleasantly surprised! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small well run, clean, and cozy little cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tucked away in a place most wouldn't normally find.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Lady who owns it has made it her own. A former Mexican restaurant; she has completed the change to a lovely American cafe. Friendly service and above average cafe fare is in keeping with the 'Window Box' theme. I had an excellent Belgian waffle and a rasher of beautiful bacon. The coffee was excellent and the cup was kept full! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Handicap parking at the door, outside seating in nice weather and a hop skip and jump from Roseville's Costco.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cute window seat.

    Ambiance- clean look inside and out. Yellow and Pastel inside, lots of windows and garden views. Multiple rooms inside give it a cottage feel. Service - very good and friendly Food - reasonably priced. We enjoyed our meal. California omelet and mini pancakes wasnbareky finished, a lot of food. Good hashbrowns. Chicken fried steak - good patty, gravy was a little bland, but I am not a gravy on my meet guy. Very good country potatoes and eggs. Mini pancakes (2 - 5 inch cakes) was just enough to round off the meal and barely able to eat it all.

    SO GOOD

    This little breakfast/brunch spot has a special place in my heart. It's so cute inside and the food is so gooood! Service is great and I've never had any complaints! I recommend their cinnamon roll if you're craving something sweet in the A.M!

    Not a lot of people on a Thursday morning however we stood at the front desk for a while before the waitress noticed we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only one other couple dining at the time we got there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint yet clean place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very chill and service was quick. Would come back again.

    Cute as a button!

    Ask the Community - Window Box Cafe

    Do they take reservations?

    Not that I know of but you can always try and request. They're very friendly and helpful there.

    Any gluten-free options on the menu?

    Yes

    Do they charge he for splitting food? My 88 year old mom went there and she wanted to share a waffle but they said there was a charge for that.

    I went there and asked for an extra plate to split with my friend and there was NO charge. They said there is only a charge if the cooks split the food up in the kitchen for us.

She's elderly and uses a walker, and the staff was extremely kind and considerate to bring a chair for her to sit in while we waited for a table. There's a casual sports bar vibe that threw me off initially, but I trusted the process. We were seated quickly on the other side of the restaurant, with a view of the open kitchen. Our friendly server recommended the fried chicken as a must-have signature menu item, so we ordered two plates and a Caesar salad. We were both overjoyed with our entrees--chicken was moist with a beautiful, crunchy crust and the most delicious gravy and sweet grilled carrots. We finished up with a s'mores bread pudding that is one of the most craveable desserts I've ever tasted. Moist, caramel-y and luscious! And the server led our neighboring tables in singing Happy Birthday to my mama, which made the night really fun for her. Can't WAIT to come back! It's a new favorite--everything I hoped for and more. The food is spectacular, and the truly kind service takes it another level.

The hostess started us right away in a spacious booth which was nice. Our server came and offered us free buffalo chips since it was our first time visiting, which was very nice (and it was delicious!). For food, I ordered Wok cooked sweet and spicy sambal with tofu which was pretty decent. My son ordered grilled cheese with honey bacon and tomato soup which he seemed to really like. My wife ordered peach flat bread which was a special of the day, such she take enjoyed. She also ordered the 3 item sampler, cheese curds, Brussel sprouts, and buffalo nuggets, which unfortunately wasn't so good.

    Q1227 easily became one of my favorite dining experiences in Sacramento…read more We started with the lobster bites and broccolini. The lobster bites came with a lemon wedge and their house Thousand Island sauce, and that sauce was incredible. The combination of the crispy lobster, lemon, and sauce worked perfectly together. The broccolini was also seasoned really well and paired nicely with the grilled lemon. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the smoothest I've had. One detail I loved was that they stamped the restaurant's logo into the ice cube. Small touch, but really cool. For my main course, I ordered the Grilled Huli Huli Chicken with a crispy rice cake, pineapple, greens, and a house sauce that completely made the dish. The sweet and tangy flavor paired perfectly with the chicken. Me and my girlfriend also shared the mac and cheese, and honestly, this was one of the best mac and cheeses I've had. It was rich, creamy, well-seasoned, and the breadcrumbs on top added the perfect texture. My girlfriend ordered the braised short rib with garlic mashed potatoes and carrot purée. The short rib was so tender it practically fell apart with a fork. Everything on the plate was delicious. One thing that surprised me was the portion sizes. Everything was very filling, and we ended up taking some food home. By the time dessert came around, we were already pretty full, but there was no way we were skipping it. To finish the night, we shared the Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and strawberries. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant was busy and lively, but it never felt crowded. The tables were spaced out really well, so my girlfriend and I could still enjoy our conversation and watch the basketball game. I also appreciated seeing Chef Q and his wife walking around and checking on guests throughout the night. They stopped by tables to see how everyone was enjoying their food, which was a really nice touch. I even had the chance to take a picture with Chef Q before we left, which was super cool. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail, this is easily one of the top restaurants I've been to in Sacramento. Definitely worth a visit.

    Usually, this location is top tier, which is why we chose it to celebrate my aunt's 77th birthday…read more Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to the standard we've come to expect. When we arrived on a Monday, the restaurant wasn't crowded, so we expected attentive service. We were seated, our server came over for drinks, and we let him know we were celebrating my aunt's birthday. This restaurant usually has a nice way of acknowledging birthdays, so we were looking forward to that, but it never happened. We ordered the lobster bites, and they were outstanding as always. My mom, who is allergic to seafood, started feeling a little nauseous from the smell and asked our server for some lemons. He walked away, and we never saw him again. After waiting for quite a while, we asked another server, who brought them over immediately. Our salads and soup were delivered by a food runner, and once again, our server was nowhere to be found. I eventually had to flag down the manager just to have our appetizer and soup plates cleared from the table. Our entrees arrived, the server asked how everything was, and then disappeared again. The next time we saw him was when he dropped off the check. What made it even more frustrating was watching him repeatedly check on, laugh with, and chat with the table behind us while barely acknowledging ours. We completely understand that restaurants get busy and servers can get overwhelmed, but that didn't seem to be the case here. For a $300 dinner for four people at an upscale restaurant, I expected a much higher level of service. The manager did remove our desserts from the bill, and I appreciate that gesture, but I honestly felt more should have been done once it was clear how neglected our table had been. The biggest disappointment is that the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was delicious, which made the lack of service stand out even more. This has always been one of my favorite locations, so I truly hope this was just an off night. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth and didn't reflect the level of service I've come to expect from this restaurant.

We tried almost all the specials, including cioppino, a peach, garlic bechamel, arugula, prosciutto, balsamic pizza and chicken parm and enjoyed everything. The chicken parm had the right amount of breading- was lightly crispy on the outside with tender meat on the inside. The pizza had that farm-to-fork fresh flavor and the house ranch was a nice accent. The cioppino looked inviting and was nicely seasoned and flavorful. My friend thought the rosé sounded good so we ordered 2 glasses.
