Restaurants near La Quinta Inn Sacramento Downtown

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner at Morton’s the Steakhouse. Squash soup, harvest salad, turkey, stuffing, scoop of dressing, best cranberry sauce we’ve ever had (and we are not big fans of cranberry sauce but this was delicious), mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert was a pumpkin cheesecake that did not scream pumpkin. So delightful! Service was excellent. Looking forward to next Thanksgiving with the hopes they offer it again. We would definitely be there!

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

I took my best friend to lunch since the Wells Fargo Bank building entry was all decorated for Christmas and she hadn’t been to Il Fornaio at this location in downtown Sacramento before. I had made reservations and the hostess was so personable and seated us in the main dining area which I had requested. Our waiter was extremely nice and explained the specials for the day. He gave us some time to decide and then took our order of Caesar Salad and Lasagna. The lasagna is one of my families all time favorites. The ambience I think is the best in Sacramento, the service is impeccable and you can’t go wrong with any of the selections.

My wife and I had a lovely experience with everything from the bread to the drinks, appetizers, and main course!! Bone marrow asada is a must try!! Pork belly burnt end melt in you mouth crazy good!! Pea tendrils also amazing side!! It's slept on! Spencer steak nice piece of meat recommended by my good friend and chef Christopher!! Thanks again for the great food. My wife had sea food shrimp and artichokes, and it was also amazing as well!! Will be coming back soon!!

In my opinion: Best all around restaurant in Sacramento.
