Best Romantic Restaurants in Granite Bay

I love this new restaurant, mostly for the panoramic view of the American river…the food is California cuisine, with nice portions…their Gumbo and Jambalaya are to die for, very Cajun inspired and delicious…there is a wait at dinner time but lunch time you’re in and out pretty quickly …come enjoy the food and the view!!

great wait staff. We eat here at least 3 times a year. Best waitress

First off, let me say that the one very bright spot about this restaurant is the outstanding staff. From the moment we walked in to the time we left they were the best. The maître d' was very pleasant, professional and took the time with us as out of towners to seat us, explain things and even chat a bit. He also authorized a free dessert at the end of our meal that was absolutely delish. Our waitress, Emily, was just outstanding. We wanted to chill before ordering and have a couple cocktails and she managed that whole time very well, always checking back to see when we were ready to order. Water glasses never go empty and dirty dishes never sit in front of you because they have bus boys that handle those chores. and are always on the spot. The menu is not inexpensive and has a nice variety although not much in the way of beef for you carnivores. There are a couple beef items on them menu but one was not available when we were there. Cocktails were excellent. We started with the CALAMARETTI FRITTI and it was quite tasty. My wife had the INSALATA DI PERE which she very much enjoyed and I ordered the POLLO AI FUNGHI, a spin on chicken marsala. The only issue with the dish was that the sauce was quite greasy/heavy in my honest opinion and it detracted from the overall finish because after awhile it was hard to keep going. It was tasty but eventually it weighed on you. The Tiramisu which came as a surprise was out of this world. Take my review on my dish with a grain of salt as I am quite the food snob. I would go back and maybe try another dish next time.

The food and service was excellent. It's a bit pricey but good nonetheless.

We had a wonderful birthday celebration in their private room - great food and custom cocktails.
