evelyn: The sashimi is amazing, so are the carpaccio plates
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”): Get the Taku Fin carpaccio, but pass on the Tide Pool Oysters (3 for $12.95 was a bit steep for the size although they were flavorful). https://www.instagram.com/p/ByCEQbIjbjM/?igshid=1nh4i6ev9rgf1
evelyn: black garlic tonkotsu ramen and beef tongue and bacon-wrapped asparagus yakitori

Gina Funk Nelson: I may have to leave my husband and marry the Tuna Carpaccio with poached egg, herbs and crispy potatoes.

kW: The steak tartare is absolutely amazing. Their gin & tonic is ridiculously good, as is the elderflower gimlet. You can't go wrong here.

SacReviews: Named Top 10 bar of 2010. Amazing happy hour: House wines, $6. Wells & beers, $1 off. And a huge table of free goodies from bruschetta to spicy, salty puff pastry. 5-7pm M-F. [SacBee] Read more.
Kim Fujiwara: Try the Caprese - The drizzled olive oil had a hint of basil. The salad was served room temperature so you could taste the freshness of the tomatoes and mozzerella. Yum!
Susan Berg: During the week, consider getting a sandwich at the counter and eating out on their patio. Soup and sandwich for $7.99. Great deal!

B: Try the Potato Gnocchi - Brussels sprouts, pancetta, mushrooms, lemon cream, shaved bottargaThis entree was incredible. I savored each bite. #bliss #piatti #sacramento
Piatti Ristorante & Bar: Another week, another amazing opportunity to save on incredible wines. Free corkage tonight at Piatti Sacramento!
Karen Poirier-Brode: The meatball appetizer was terrific. Food very good overall. Chairs a bit small & uncomfortable so heavy foodies be forewarned. Service a bit rough around the edges. We had a great time & will return
Stephen L.: Everyone talks about the food which is outstanding. Don't forget the wine. They have one of the best cellars in the country and also wines by the glass.
Julie Gallaher: Love the Firehouse Courtyard for a classy lunch. Get the Brown Derby Classic Salad - Rib Eye Steak, avocado, bacon & bleu cheese with a fab glass of red wine.
Kim Fujiwara: Try the Glenmorangie 10 Year Highland - Peaty and smooth ... Wow!
