"I used to drive by this place almost everyday when I lived downtown and never went until I saw this place pop up on an instagram post and it looked so good! So, I had to try it. The wait was about 45 mins because it was packed and it's not a very big place. We were seated at the bar and were given drinks right away. We ordered the bruschetta and Caesar salad first. Then, for the entrée Bolognese. We got the appetizers very quick but, the entree took awhile. But, it was all very good! So the only reason I'll give this place 4 stars is because of the wait for food. I'll definitely be back! Book a table in advance! I only took a picture of the bruschetta. Sorry!"

"Localis was such a great experience! We booked counter seating for their Tastier Side of Middle Earth menu. It was such an intimate and entertaining dining experience. I love how they retold the Lord of the Rings trilogy through their food. Each dish was imaginative and delicious. So very clever!We were delighted by the thoughtful tasting menu and delicious beverages. My husband and I ordered one beverage pairing between the two of us. It would have been a lot of alcohol for one person, but that's just me! So, I think splitting it was perfect. The pairings really did enhance the meal. Everything went perfectly together. The service was excellent, and each course was well paced. It felt like the staff had the timing dialed in. We didn't feel rushed or that we were waiting too long for our next dish. Overall, a very enjoyable evening."

Fire Wings

★★★★☆ 3.7 (993) • $$

"I haven't been to this fire wings in over a decade as it's further than the other locations from where I live. The last I recall, their wings were small and never super crispy. This time I was pleasantly surprised and so hungry I forgot to take photos. Their wings were super crispy and hot this time around and perfectly seasoned. I got the salt and pepper and fire with a side of fries and they did not disappoint. The biggest disappointment was that their beverage machine was out of order so they only had 4 canned soda options. They didn't even have bottled water! This was inconvenient but not a deal breaker as the food made up for it. If I'm ever in the area and craving wings, I will come back."

"Happy Hour Specials. Tuesday - Saturday 3pm - 6pm. $1 off all craft beer, $6 house wine, $3 off all pizzas and $2 off all appetizers. There, posted it. Just in case someone searches for Happy Hour in the Yelp app.Our second time here. First was during the earlier days back in 2018 when Range Kitchen was fairly new. Didn't quite make a mark on us, which is probably why it took us 6 years to give them another try.Glad we did. This time, the food and drinks impressed us.Having a rotating menu with beer and wine for alcohol options, they keep it simple. Happy Hour Red (Paso Robles Cabernet) $6 and a Hazy IPA were my drinks. Wife wanted a cocktail, but they don't have any.The dishes we got were the Deviled Eggs, Bison Sliders, Beef Sliders and The Forager Pizza.The cheesy & lean bison burgers and the truffle pizza are very good points for us to come back.Being seated at the bar, we were witness to how the pizza and other baked dishes were prepped. The crew was friendly and engaging. See you next time RK&T."

"I always passed by this place when going to the Cabin next door . My friend and I decided to stop by for a drink . The building is beautiful with all the wood and old school vibe . This place was also very clean and organized . I was not expecting much from the bar but I was so surprised they had a lot of top shelf liquor like Eagle Rare and Weller Bourbon . I ended up ordering a White Linen and it was so delicious one of the best I ever had . A White Linen is a refreshing drink but some places don't do it right but our bartender nailed it !! The young lady that helped us at the bar was amazing I did not catch her name but she has orange cute hair . She was the sweetest and she made my amazing drink . I would definitely be coming back here again ."

"Service: I would give 10 out of 10 just for service alone; but since I can only do a rating of 5, then 5 out of 5 it is. My sister and I had 3 small children with us, and though they did not have a children's menu, the owner was extremely welcoming. He brought paper and crayons for our kids to color. He even made sure to give our littles plastic spoons without us even having to ask. He constantly checked on us throughout the night, made jokes with the kids, and even made an effort to come out to say goodbye to us as we were leaving. He definitely went above and beyond!Ambiance: Nice decor. Everything was clean. Bathroom was clean. Lots of parking. Loved the option of chairs and/or bench seating.Food: Hawaiian food is typically on the heavier side, but I'd have to say, if it can be a bit lighter, then that's what they did here. The garlic shrimp plate was delicious! It would have to be my #1 recommendation here. I loved that the shrimp were not only a good size, but already peeled. The sauce was perfectly flavored. I liked that you can do half and half on the rice, so we were able to try both the sushi rice and the brown rice. The Mac Salad was tasty as well. I could have done without the Moco Loco, but my 2 year old really enjoyed it. The sauce wasn't the best in my opinion; but the eggs was perfectly cooked. I especially liked that they let you get a half order instead of a whole order because I knew my 2 year old was not going to be able to finish a whole plate on her own. The chicken katsu was perfectly fried. The chicken was tender. We could have done without the spam musubi, but it wasn't bad. Just not worth the price.Dessert: I'd definitely recommend the butter mochi with guava ice cream! It was a hit at our table. The mini hula pie was not a favorite of ours. The rum whip would be good for people who enjoy rum, but it was definitely not very kid-friendly.Overall, the owner made the place so welcoming that even though this was our first time here, it won't be our last."

"My husband and I were in Sac for Valentine's Day weekend and decided to try this spot out. Menu and photos looked really nice. But I assume because it was Valentine's Day weekend we can only reserve for their Valentine's Day Dinner. So we got there and got sat at the bar. We did a 5 course meal. What did we think? So my husband got the lamb shank & I got the scallops. The salad was amazing. The asparagus soup was great too! The lamb shank was good meat and size wise, I feel it would've been nice to have more of the soup with it. The scallops I was really disappointed with. It was awfully too salty, like they drenched salt on it like crazy and added capers which made it more salty. They gave 4 pieces which were great in size. Added baby bokchoy which was great also, but the amount of salt I capers just ruined it.Would we consider trying it out again? Possibly, but for sure not getting the scallops. For the amount my husband paid for which was about $350 for the 2 of us, I honestly didn't think the food matched the price. Maybe other people have better experiences and I honestly hope they do. We just didn't. Cute atmosphere great customer service, just the food didn't make sense for the amount we paid for."

Dad's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.6 (778) • $$

"This is now our Dad's since we don't have the Land Park location anymore. RIP thnks fr th mmrs. This one is farther away from where I live but still very worth the trip. One of my favorite places to watch sportsball while I have some breakfast. As one does. Food at Dad's has always been solid. Whatever you order, it'll be great! I do wish they had more meatless options. But I get by. Vegans would have a harder time. My favorite breakfast items are the chilaquiles and the vegetarian-ized eggs benny. They have two options there and one has savory tangy chipotle hollandaise, which I highly recommend trying! And it's always nice to wash down your hearty meal with a mimosa. They have several fruit juices to choose from too if OJ isn't your thing. Bottomless? Yes that's an option. Dad's also makes a legit Bloody Mary, one of the best in town in fact.We don't have to worry about finding a seat because this place is pretty spacious, even the bar area aka the best seat in the house. I appreciate the rotating tap list and how there's always a dark beer for me. Everyone who works here is amazing and I love them. I'm happy to still have a Dad's to hang out at.PS Fair Oaks Dad's has a full bar !"

"So I just had the house salad and a glass of wine. But the salad was so delicious that I needed to write a review.The house salad consists of mixed greens with chicken, tomatoes, and avocado with a raspberry vinaigrette. I was worried about the vinaigrette because they can be too sweet, but not this one. It had a good balance among the sweet, tart, and acidic flavors. And the mixed greens weren't bitter at all! The chicken was moist and anything that already comes with avocado is a plus!The white wine I ordered was also delicious! Despite it being a light meal, it was rather filling.Service was really friendly and accommodating as we were a group of six that didn't make reservations. It was a Tuesday night so there weren't many people around the area anyway. The ambiance has steakhouse vibes with its dark decor, but it's not pretentious. The music they were playing was eclectic, from top 40 to some EDM. I'd like to come back here again to try a heavier entree. The menu has some variety, from burgers to fish tacos to Korean chicken."

"We had the pleasure of visiting 36 Handles in El Dorado Hills on St. Patrick's Day, and despite the bustling crowd and live band, the staff handled everything with remarkable efficiency. Despite the lack of reservations and our large party of 10, they managed to find us a table without much delay.The wait staff deserves special recognition for their exceptional service, as they worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was seated as quickly as possible. The use of disposable silverware and plates didn't detract from the experience.Now, onto the food - it was delicious! The corned beef and cabbage were cooked to perfection, and the shepherd's pie was a personal favorite. The menu offered a variety of Irish drinks, which added to the festive atmosphere and made the evening all the more enjoyable.Overall, 36 Handles provided a fantastic St. Patrick's Day experience, with great food, excellent service, and a lively atmosphere. I look forward to returning for more memorable occasions in the future."

"First off. Hopping atmosphere and friendly staff (Maria was our server). Second, when ordering extra crispy hash browns, she said they now can deep fry them... um, yes please! They came out super crispy and almost buttery in the middle. The chicken fried steak was traditional, with pounded meat and a GREAT crust. It was a bit tough, but very good. The gravy, however, is incredible. Definitely will be ordering biscuits and gravy next time. My husband got chile verde omelette and loved it. I will be back for sure. I need to try the Monte Cristo..."

"Found ourselves in Jackson tonight and there were only a couple of restaurants open within walking distance. We didn't want to pay for the more expensive Italian restaurant and ended up at Mel and Faye's. The place was hopping! Inside and outside. We ended up getting and splitting a 10 oz NY Steak w/salad, vegetables, Texas toast and baked potato. It was more than enough for both of us. Our server was adorable! I can't remember the last time we got that kind of attention, especially when they were so busy and missing a couple of servers. It was obviously a favorite for locals and it was enjoyable to watch their interactions."

I would say it's better than bar quality food but I would skip it if you're super hungry or in a rush."

The service was quick and attentive, I wish I caught our server's name, she was very knowledgeable and sweet. My friend got the black bean burger and sweet potato fries, she enjoyed both!I got an espresso martini, it was a little different than I'm used to, like almost tasted like hazelnut, but it was good! My friend got a fruit infused (pineapple and strawberry I believe) vodka drink that she enjoyed!Thank you for a wonderful experience, I'll definitely be back!"

I just got done skiing all day and was definitely not dressed for such a nice restaurant. The food was priced fair and the plating was spot on. I enjoy the fried pickle spears as an appetizer because I have never had it served like that before. We also ordered lamb and pork chops and it was delicious. The lamb could use a lot more seasoning, but I enjoyed it with the sauce provided. The service was excellent and the host was very nice in seating us right away. I will definitely return here when we have a special occasion or order cocktails in the future."

"Day 3 Stop 1In anticipation of our wine tasting we went early as we did not want to have to wait in line... They do get busy as the morning hours tick on. Fortunately for us, there was no line and we were seated right away. For seating, you can seat inside the cafe or get a patio table, both of which are comfortable and pleasant.We were presented with the menus and offered coffee or other beverages upon seating. Within a decent amount of time our server returned to take our order (I was impressed that we were not rushed...) and refill our beverages. Meals were delivered, food was good, timing was perfect for our schedule. I would like to make a suggestion that if you are not hungry, order side orders instead as the portions are large.I'd go there again even if I wasn't going to attend any wine tasting....Hana Hou"

"Came on a rainy day for lunch before walking the mall and shared a meal. Service was prompt and quick. We ordered the chicken bacon avocado egg rolls which were a 10/10. Sauce was great and flavorful. We also share the chicken piccata which was very tasty but the portion size was incredibly disappointing for $22. I felt like I could hold the amount of noodles in one hand. For that price it should've been a large bowl/plate of food. However, the chicken was tender and plentiful. I'd come back for another meal but I'd hope for more food if I'm paying over $20 for an entree as it wasn't filling enough"

One table we sat at had loud air conditioning so moved to another table.You can also sit at the bar. They have a good selection of beers. You can order food and drinks at the register. Staff were helpful with our questions. We ordered a couple of beers and sliders with onion rings. The onion rings were huge and cooked perfectly. The sliders were ok and a bit messy."

Urban Plates

★★★★☆ 4.4 (288)

"Last week Friday, we visited Urban Plates with a large group and our experience was fantastic from start to finish. I would say, the place is located in Fair Oaks and going from Elk Grove, the GPS took me through inner roads. I was little nervous but thankfully reached the location safely. I was amazed to find the location in a prime accessible area. Upon reaching, I was happy there were ample parking. For customer's worried about parking like me, all I need to say tons of parking plus it's free. First impression of this place, it reminds me of Jack Urban Eats. I kept telling people in my group, the menu and ambiance resembles of Jack's or it's just me constantly thinking of other restaurants. You can order either at the cashier or through Kiosk. I ordered chicken sandwich with fries through kiosk. Ordering through the kiosk was a breeze. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful and perfectly cooked. I would say, most of us enjoyed our meal. Some folks complained it was overpriced for their salad or soups didn't taste that great. My tummy was happy and that's all matter's, right? The staffs were attentive and incredibly helpful. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles, and they helped us navigate through kiosk. I loved the fact at the kiosk, you can pick up the number and enter while checking out. The staffs were standing and guiding us. Food came out fairly quickly although we were like 20 plus people in the group. I noticed the staffs were refilling drinks, taking away dirty dishes whenever they saw people were done. I would say, customer service was A+. Totally recommend this place for group events. And I'm returning to try the Nashville chicken."

"It's a really cute ambiance, well decorated for a smaller space. Love all the plants surrounding the tables and the nice table setting. Modern, colorful and clean. Service was very friendly and welcoming. The owner came out to every table. There was a small mishap with one of our dishes and everyone was very apologetic and handled it really well, didn't make us feel bad for mentioning it at all. Great customer service!Food was delicious. It's all gluten free including the Mac salad which was delicious! I always want to like a Mac salad at Hawaii restaurants but sometimes I'm just like meh. The one here was creamy and really tasty and I couldn't tell it was gluten free pasta. Friend's coconut soup was so delicious. Light and creamy, very bright and so much flavor from the red curry paste. Shrimp was big and juicy and not overcooked. I'd love to order it again. It was perfect for the cold rainy weather. I had the spam over rice. I'm a rice gal and I felt like they gave me only 1/4 cup of rice and huge portion of homemade spam. I liked the spam! But I'd order something else before I order the dish again. Spam was less salty than the canned one and has a spongier airier texture. Stand out was the Mac salad and the sauce at the bottom. Portion between spam and everything else was off but I'm glad I tried it. Took my leftovers home, added a little more rice and furikake and called it a day. Both ordered spam musubi for the kids, we didn't get to try it, it was all gone before we had the chance. Would love to come back and try some shrimp dishes and cocktails. Great location, ambiance, food, and service."

The 7th Street Standard

★★★★☆ 4.2 (238)

"This is an interesting review to write. I want to start by saying our server was amazing. The food was delicious. Ambience, cool! Why 2 stars then?? SAFETY. I live close by so I'm quite used to looking over my shoulder as a woman walking downtown but when I enter a nice establishment I want to be able to let my guard down. And felt fine until I needed to use the restroom. Shared restrooms? I'm sorry, what? I absolutely do not feel comfortable knowing men are in the same closed area as me during a very private and vulnerable time. There are doors, walls so you're in your own toilet box but you walk out and share the sinks. Do you know how easy it would be for a man to walk into the restroom behind a woman and force her into a stall? Or worse, a child. I'd bet money that a man came up with the this idea. My date (a man) was even more bothered by this because he was worried he would scare a woman or young girl. He's the father of a teenage girl so the whole situation didn't sit well with him and he said he absolutely didn't feel comfortable with me going into that restroom again without him. This is a place with a full bar, adults enjoying alcohol but all ages getting food. Weird weird weird. We both agreed that we loved the food and service but the restroom situation was unsettling. And the door to the restaurant has a huge pole in front of it so if you're a wheelchair, scooter, walker user....enter through the hotel area. I wonder how many people have exited through that door and bonked their heads lol."

I had asked for a small and received a regular, I asked the man who took my order about it and he misunderstood me but made it right. I tried to give him my sandwich back but he told me to keep it and he immediately refunded me the difference. Bonus points for having my favorite Zapps chips! I wish I was local so I could come back! I'll be looking for the SoCal locations soon."

"For Christmas, I task my sister for gifting me with a meal from restaurants I have yet to try. I am glad she chose this one, as I believe this is only the second Afghan restaurant I have dined at.I ordered the saffron chicken, which came with spinach rice and a pumpkin puree. The rice was seasoned perfectly, and both the chicken and rice mixed amazingly with the puree. I don't believe I left anything on the plate. I started with a basic Caesar salad, and although I had to ask for some extra dressing, once I received it, it was a good salad. The dressing was homemade. I finished with a mini cheesecake, which was complimented well with its berry sauce.My server was respectfully attentive, in that I got to relax with my food and my thoughts, but my soda was refilled without being asked.A little expensive for a weekly dining experience, but for a special occasion out with family or friends who want to taste something different, then I think you should try this place. Enjoy!"

"We come here at least one a week. We love UOB! The specials, the good food, the outside ambiance! Plus doggies eat for free- Bo loves to get his beautiful doggie bowl and gobbles it right up.During happy hour the apps are BOGO free and they have great quality food. Our typical order is wings and dumplings but we had tried everything. They have incredible drink specials for happy hour too and it keeps us coming back for more.Only downside is service can be slow. Unsure if they don't have enough staff or it's because we are outside, getting an order in means waiting 20-30 minutes to get a hello and some water from the server. When we get there one of us will sit outside with the puppy and one will let server or bartender know we are going to sit outside (meaning we're don't just sit ourselves and expect someone to come out lol) but we always have an unusually long wait time outside. It's not a big deal and seems to be a typical part of coming here. Which we accept because we love it !When we do get a server there are always so wonderful and engaging. Great customer service!Thank you UOB! See you soon!"

I kept hearing from friends about how good the small kitchen here is and was blown away when I finally tried it.The smart move it to come in the evening when the Chinese menus opens up. All the Chinese food here is really good. The spicy pork is a favorite of mine. Their fried rice is always good. I also like ordering their house chow mein noodles.The pho here is bomb!
