    We ate on the patio and was perfect. Our waiter Shawn was very friendly and professional. We had the prime rib special which was great and had lots of leftovers as was generous portions. Desserts were all delicious and we are happy to have such an upscale restaurant in our neighborhood. Will continue to return. Good experience all around.

    We celebrated a family birthday and the staff made it extra special with a free photo and personalized menu! Food was amazing and they even recommended foods and preferences for someone who had gluten issues. The food was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff continually checked on us to meet our needs. A little pricey but worth every bit of it!! Thank you Chef and Staff of Sheldon Inn! Can’t wait to go back again and try their brunch!!

    Thank you for making my 30th Wedding Anniversary a memorable event. The food was excellent, the staff was exceptional, and the atmosphere was wonderful. It did get a little exciting there for a short moment, at another guest table, but nothing could ruin our evening. Thank you for the photo of our special event! I have recommended you to everyone who I have talk to today! Thank you again. Frances and Chris Brossman

    Service started out great and then simply went off the rails. Never saw waiter for 25 minutes after finishing main course. Then surfaced for dessert. Place got busy and seemed our waiter was working the entire room.

    I always arrive everywhere early, and they were able to seat me while I waited for my friends. I know my me and my friends were probably the loudest people there, and they didn't sush us. We hadn't seen eachother in awhile. The food was amazing and the staff was considerate. Thank you so much

    This place has changed from a fancy sit-down restaurant to a hip bistro, and I say that with a frown. Food is still great. Waiter was nice. But I think the new owner is a party person. He's added more lighting, changed the music from calming elevator music to rock and hip-hop, and cranked up the volume on the music. Sheldon Inn is supposed to be a fancy and quiet place, not a party experience. I couldn't have a conversation with my wife because the crappy music was too loud - never used to be like that. I liked to come here to get away from that type of environment.

    Celebrated our anniversary. Requested a booth upon arrival, hostess indicated she had to check although there were a number of booths open on what appeared to be a slow weeknight. After some back and forth, we were seated at booth. Overall food was good, only complaint with entrees, some of the asparagus was over cooked and mushy. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert, very little caramel sauce, more was provided after requesting which really helped.

    It’s not a very good experience especially when I was so excited to come for the first time . The girls at the aren’t very friend and not helpful as at all and I asked if the outside is nice , no one smile. Waiter is ok. Food is bad quality and also the look of it . So sad and so disappointed . Just thought that some one should care about this maybe not .

    Service from Ron was excellent. The food was fresh and delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. We loved sitting on the patio, the only reason I gave lower marks for noise was the music was a little loud, making it hard to have a conversation.

    We had reservations and we were so excited to go. Even with reservations we had to wait 20 minutes to be sat. We were sat in the outdoor patio, as requested. Although the setting was pretty out entire brunch was ruined. A couple wasps were buzzing around, the waiter said they have been having issues. As our food was brought to the table we were attacked by 20+ to the point we had to box our food in a hurry to leave. As this is happening the waitress brings me a bill. I was pretty upset that we waited all week to go to this restaurant and they knowingly sat us where there is a wasp infestation. Horrible experience. I complained to the manager and got refunded half the money but that isn’t what I wanted. I wanted a nice brunch. Disappointed and will not return.

    Our first trip to Sheldon Inn, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, was delightful. Delicious food, great service, and a sweet surprise - our anniversary was celebrated as the heading of the menu insert! I will encourage my friends and family members to come to this gem of a dining option in Elk Grove. Thank you for a special night made more special by your care and cooking.

    Sheldon Inn treats those seated at the tables in the bar as second class citizens. First off, two couples with the same reservation time as us but who arrived AFTER us, were rated before us…but they were in the main dining room. Then, we waited almost 10 minutes with ZERO service and were finally assigned a new server because ours was also the bartender. I would have been fine waiting had she at least come and told us it would be a few minutes. If it wouldn’t have been our anniversary, we would have just left. I’d say try to get reservations in the main dining room if you want quality service. Luckily our replacement waiter made up for the poor start to our evening and the food was amazing!
