    Everything was on point last night - from the service to the food. The new York steak came a beautiful char, sweet potato fried onion rings (never tried this before), and mushroom - probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in years. Our server(s) was also sharp and friendly. Everything was perfect and made our Valetines Day dinner very special.

    Took my girlfriend for Valentines Day weekend. The menu they offered was big and every stage of dinner was amazing, from the Wedge salad with goat cheese, Deviled egg and the highlight was the steak and potato cooked in duck fat. The Pear margarita was amazing and the red wine paired with steak is unmatched. Alysha our server was amazing, really made the restaurant feel like home. We’ll definitely be back

    This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

    Still my favorite eats in Sac. Valentine’s meal was amazing. My wife and I will always return and bring friends and visitors because we trust Canon. My only request is please get some non alcohol beer. Literally the biggest trend in food and beverage right now, everyone has great ones… and $8 bitter sodas are just not where it’s at. Normalize more non alcohol options!
