About the restaurant
Reflecting the charm of its surrounding neighborhood, Shangri-la is a distinctive space in Fair Oaks that serves seasonal, contemporary American fare, along with handcrafted cocktails in a unique setting.

With modernist architectural design, fire pits and classic cocktails from an indoor/outdoor bar, Shangri-la is a full-service restaurant and private events venue that feels like a Palm Springs resort. We have two beautiful indoor dining rooms as well as a 6,500 sq. foot patio featuring bocce ball (adults only) and corn hole (all ages) and full-service seating inside and outside. (Voted Best patio and Best restaurant by Sac Magazine). Well behaved pups are also welcome on our patio when weather permits.

Come visit us, and enjoy an escape from it all!

This is our go-to restaurant for delicious food, cocktails, and fantastic ambience on a warm evening. The patio is simply divine, not to be missed. I’ve never had anything from the menu that I have not enjoyed. Highly recommend!

We came here for my sisters birthday with a party of 12 + 2 toddlers and an infant. We were able to make a reservation in advance and seated quickly. Great beer and mixed beverage options. Food was great and they have good kid options, definitely recommend the avocado rolls and Mac n cheese balls for apps. Love the burgers and pizza and my favorite dish is the Parmesan crusted chicken. Also you can’t go to BJs without getting a pazookie! My sister got one complementary for her birthday and it was excellent! They ask your preferred flavor too. Our waiter was very attentative too, food took a little longer than normal but we had a large party and he kept us filled up on drinks and updated us etc. overall great experience

We were able to walk in since we had a reservation which was super helpful. We ended up ordering our drinks and food at the same time as waiter was overwhelmed and was unable to come by our table. Food was good. Kids hamburger a bit burnt but edible. They had run out of both kinds of burnt ends which was a bummer for 1:15pm reservation. The interactions with staff were positive but they're just definitely overwhelmed.

It was frustrating that we made a reservation then when we arrived we were told it would be a “10 to 15, maybe 20 minute wait” and it was nearly 15 minutes. Also the bathroom was a mess.

My husband had the spaghetti with meat sauce, which he described as "okay." I had two sides because the entrees were just too pricey for one person. I understand they are a family style restaurant but as they try to climb out of bankruptcy, maybe they could consider "regular" menu items either in addition to or instead of family style. So, I had 3 mild Italian sausages and Brussels sprouts both were okay but really nothing to rave about. The bill for the two of us came to $120 with tip. Granted, we both have enough leftovers for dinner tonight but I'll have to add some rice to make mine more balanced. Sadly, the restaurant was nearly empty and it was 6 PM on a Friday night. My husband and I joked about doing our part to keep the restaurant open, but last night might have been our last time trying to make family style dining work for a retired, senior couple. Maybe when our children come to visit ...

Joe’s Crab Shack offers a variety of favorites from all parts of the sea and shore. From its extensive menu, guests can choose from buckets of seasonal seafood, fried shrimp platters and fish dishes, as well as options from the “mainland” that include steak, sandwiches, and chicken. Guests can indulge in over-sized and creative cocktails, such as the Shark Bite which is playfully garnished with a shark toy. Since its inception, Joe’s popularity has stemmed not only from its menu, but also its retail store. With various pieces of merchandise for purchase, including the ever-popular tie-dye T-shirt with the phrase “Peace, Love and Crabs,” Joe’s has become synonymous with the word “fun.”

Went to Joe’s for the first time in years for my husband’s birthday. Was not as good as we remembered, but had no actual complaints. Service was good. The portions of food were disappointing, not a good value considering the prices. My husband’s lobster tails were the smallest I’ve ever seen, and were a bit dry. My steak was delicious, my shrimps were kind of small, too.

Our server, Ian was wonderful. We arrived at 6:30 for a 7pm reservation and were seating immediately. We enjoyed the ambiance. The buffet was nice but limited from other steakhouses I’ve been to. The meats were a bit salty, which was unexpected. The servers were a bit slow bringing around the meats. We specifically asked for items but they were extremely delayed and we had to ask for them multiple times.
