Past its prime by about 5 years now… time to call it for Causwells. All city joints go through it… the cycle into slow decline… it won’t be long before Causwells is gone… and it shows. The bar program is pedestrian… the food is uninspired… the staff is the cheapest allowed. If you’re 22 and from Sacramento… this is the place for you.

portion sizes very small for such high prices, we asked for more tarot chips for the dip, i think we received 7, we asked for the burger to be wrapped in lettuce for my gluten intolerant daughter, they said they couldn't as lettuce is chopped.

Great ambiance and vibe the minute we walked in the door. The servers were attentive and prompt. The food was the reason we were there and it did not disappoint - excellent American Burger, wings, bread, and wine.

Excellent burger!!! It's difficult to get a really great burger now, and this was delicious! The french brioche bites with maple syrup were fantastic, too. We also tried the banana bread "grilled cheese," and we felt that the concept was great, but they could make some improvements with the execution. Overall, the service and food were wonderful, though!

Causwells has an interesting and somewhat eclectic menu. I had the arugula/beet salad which was excellent. For dessert we shared the fried banana bread which was surprisingly delicious. We sat outdoors in a comfortable glassed in area which helped to block street noise. Our server was very patient and knowledgeable with just the right amount of attentiveness. He readily agreed to turn down the music that was a little too loud for our taste. It was a very pleasant lunch experience.
