    Was listed online as one of the top romantic restaurants in Sacramento. Service was slow and food was bland. Wasn’t the upscale romantic place as advertised.

    It’s hard to rate our experience- we were there with a group of five- Four adults and one kid. Two of the adults loved their meals, two thought that it was pretty good, but our kid got the kids spaghetti with tomato sauce and it was so peppery. She couldn’t eat it because she found it too spicy, so one of our adults tried it and said it was inedible for them too. Our server was amazing however and the restaurant is beautiful. We would probably come back but with only adults.

    Service between courses was rushed. Entrees were brought out while we were still eating salads. Not the level of service one would expect from an upscale restaurant.
