Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Rio Linda

Great food and great service. Our server Jeff took great care of us- friendly, and attentive. My mom wanted to sit somewhere quiet so the hostess helped us find a quiet booth in the bar area, which was appreciated.

Love Monday night specials with wine (good choices). People who had salmon were delighted as was short rib partaker. I did not get what I ordered (something new on menu) but what I got was good (pork chop). They offered to redo but not feasible to be able to eat with other diners.

We had mole enchiladas, red enchiladas, and chile rellenos for dinner. We drank red sangria. Every diner at the table was pleased with their choice. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, was hopping with birthday and holiday energy, was loud and bustling. Our waitress and every other server was working hard. Our waitress was apologetic about the restaurant's understaffing, but we took it in stride -- she was pleasant and attentive when with us, and we didn't wait too long for anything. If we're in Sacramento again, we'll gladly return to Zocalo Midtown, without hesitation.

We LOVE this restaurant within The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection. The ingredients are all fresh and well prepared and presented. Very tasty food. Excellent service!!! Are two brunches here. Wow! How to make a choice. Something for everyone. The Breakfast Burger is to die for. Smoked chicken hash- oh yeah!! Love the modern industrial using antiques but warm colors and feels cozy. The Grange is our “go to” Sacramento restaurant whether we are staying at The Citizen or hot.

Environment is elegant but not stuffy. Service is superior. Our server invested time early on explaining the menu in detail which was very helpful. Pace of the four course dinner was relaxed but not too slow. The food was amazing and Allora clearly deserves its stellar reputation.
