Where To Eat In Sacramento
The Kitchen Restaurant
2225 Hurley Way, Sacramento, CA 95825
The Kitchen’s Michelin star may speak for itself, but the Selland family are still keen to shout about how they impart the region’s farm-to-table ethos upon every Act, as courses are theatrically named. From hors d’oeuvres and Burgundian truffles with butter-poached beef to elevated cookies and cream, dishes are created through close relationships with local growers.
Club Pheasant
2525 Jefferson Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95691
Italian American fare has been served at Club Pheasant, originally known as the Hideaway Cafe, since 1935. Drop in for a lunchtime steak salad or indulge in specialty oven-baked chicken once the sun sets.
The Waterboy
2000 Capitol Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95811
Sacramento restaurants don’t come much more central than the Waterboy, which sits beside the California State Capitol, close to Midtown. The ingredients are typically seasonal, so menus change, but beef ribs, antipasto and artisanal cheeses often appear.
