Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio."With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee "Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights. Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates." - Michelin GuideCanon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace.

    Went at about 6pm on Saturday 11-23-2024 and they were packed - lots of large parties going on, at least 4 that I could tell, making it almost too noisy to enjoy the experience. Service was still top notch, as was the food. I will be back, just not on a weekend night, as personally I'm not fond of crowds like that. Guess it is the price to pay for liking a being a popular eatery so much.

    The food was fantastic. Our server was also very good. We had 2 platters, 2 small plates, and one appetizer item. The flavor combinations for all of the dishes were both complex and delicious. I will definitely return.
