TL;DR
Trendy spot with a stylish patio, but the outdoor experience was rough, long wait despite a reservation and no shade in the summer heat. Friendly service and decent food, but overall the comfort didn't match the vibe.
---
Came here with a group of six and made a reservation specifically for outdoor seating. The patio is visually appealing and has a trendy vibe, but it can get uncomfortably hot, especially during the summer months in Sacramento.
When we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, we were told that none of the outdoor tables were available despite our reservation. They mentioned a group was about to leave, so we agreed to wait. That wait ended up lasting about 45 minutes, which was longer than expected given how soon they said the table would be available.
Once seated, we found that our table was about 80 percent exposed to direct sunlight. In Sacramento's summer heat, that made things really uncomfortable. Every other outdoor table had an umbrella, but unfortunately, ours did not, and the staff was unable to provide one. Four out of the six of us were visibly overheated, which took away from the overall dining experience.
On a positive note, our server was attentive and did a great job walking us through the menu. Food took a little longer to come out, but that was understandable given how busy the restaurant was. When it finally arrived, the dishes tasted fine but didn't stand out. I would describe the food as solid but unmemorable.
Overall, this spot seems to prioritize aesthetics over substance. If you're looking for a stylish setting with decent food and don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort, it might work for you. Personally, I left wishing the experience matched the ambiance.
