    I called Butcher & Barrel to reserve tables for my birthday dinner, and Jeanette, the floor supervisor, answered the phone. She was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the process. When we arrived, Selena, our waitress, provided attentive and pleasant service, making the dinner even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious! If you’re ever in downtown Sacramento and appreciate great food and excellent service, this is the place to visit. I will definitely be returning!!

    We had the filet, which was cooked perfectly to our preferred doneness. Accompanying carrots and asparagus were a great complement. Enjoyed the side of fries (but would have preferred more ketchup). Gin and tonics were delicious. Our server was attentive and responsive. We'll be back.

    Had reservations and were seated right away. Service was good and we were attended to timely. My steak was a bit on the fatty side especially for the amount of money. Veggies a bit undercooked. Mac and Cheese was great. Burger was good.

    We had a great evening, food was fantastic. A couple of issues from the kitchen, but the service staff and management made everything right. Looking forward to the new menu and selections. We will return.

    Really had high hopes for this place since it received a lot of good reviews on Yelp and Open Table. The drinks were very good and service as well, but the food did not live up to the hype. The appetizers were just ok. It's the main courses that were disappointing. My wife and one other person chose the $48 scallops with risotto. This included only THREE small scallops. The risotto flavor initially was good, but then they added a backend spice that destroyed it. Gordon Ramsey charges $54 for his scallop and risotto appetizer, the scallops are twice the size, and risotto is out of this world. I and two other people ordered the short rib dish because the pictures online were incredible. As you can see from my pictures, one looked good and the other just looked like a blob of fat. I was surprised that a place like this would even put a dish looking like that in front of the customer. The night ended with a nice $550 bill that already included a 4% "kitchen equity" fee. After tip, I was in over $660 for a mediocre meal. Don't think I will be returning to this place.

    Top tier !!! Yaya was beyond amazing, not only did she constantly check and make sure we were good but she also gave amazing recommendations (squid ink seafood pasta top tier). You have to get the goat cheese croquettes (please just order two cause it’s was top tier). French onion soup is another one of my favorites and this place does it right.

    Ambiance was great. We got lucky and our party of 5 was well taken care of by Yaya. I got the Chilean sea bass and it was awesome. Not too busy tonight and we were seated quickly with our reservations.
