About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

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 Guide

Canon is committed to a healthy and productive workplace. A 4% service fee is added to dine-in bills to help cover the cost of employee health and wellness benefits and to provide a kitchen equity stipend to our back-of-house staff.

We appreciate the creative dishes we have had here, and tonight was no exception. Andrew was our primary server. He knew the menu, made excellent recommendations, and provided great service. All the courses were interesting, innovative, and tasted great. Canon has been in our Top 3 for some time, but is now number 1.

Love the simple menu that is seasonal. Had the pimento cheese focaccia and it was delicious. Of course, had the drumsticks and crispy cauliflower. Both wonderful and the 4 of us shared the whole chicken and an order of broccolini. Was so happy to see an assrytiko on the wine menu by the glass. Always so refreshing.

Was not impressed with the menu. Small plates were okay and the swordfish platter was overpowered by the many items in the dish that appeared to have been used in an attempt to hide the minimal size of swordfish and the fact that the fish was overcooked and too dry. Service was good, martinis were small. We liked the outdoor seating area. No need to return here.

Traditionally we always celebrate the end of my husband’s tax season at Canon. Every bite in this meal was celebratory. We always start our meal off with a glass of wine and the tots with mole , cojita and pickled onion. From the new spring menu we chose the deliciously prepared asparagus cooked to perfection with beautiful creative sauces and toppings (I could easily have enjoyed the platter by myself but I shared it). The purple smashed potatoes rich and beautiful melt in your mouth. The purple potatoes with a few nasturtiums on the top was nothing short of stunning. And we shared the swordfish plate. Maybe the best fish I’ve eaten. A lovely rub on it an so satisfying. It was perfectly prepared. The dinner was finished with a dessert that is creamy and magical. The pistachio pie. No matter how full you are you must order this heavenly pie. Not overly sweet or filling just delicious with a lovely texture and the perfect melt in your mouth finale. Thank you Canon for a perfect meal. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the incredible service at Canon. The impeccable service is the best anywhere we’ve been.
