OT: Restaurants

Lately I've been trying out a lot of new restaurants with friends. My favorites so far have been Bandera on Fair Oaks and Howe and Crush 29 at Eureka and Rocky Ridge in Roseville. Where do you guys like to go? I'm always looking for somewhere new to try.

Hey there,
give rio city a go and if you like to have drinks afterwards go over to the backdoor or fanny annes. All are in old sac. Rio recieves the best river dining year after year.I've worked for irie he's the chef of crush. My friend john bays is the executive chef at rio.
Mmmmm!-) I love the good eats, I could go on...

For a finger licken pizza I recommend Mark&Monica's on Manzanita before it turns into Fair Oaks, and get the potatoe skins

For a country drive and gourmet food at a reasonable price with historical prestige and a private like ambiance look up the mageik(sp?) in Lotus near Coloma.

Maybe drinking is not your thing. If I remember correctly your younger either way a nice place to end up after a night out in midtown is the dessert diner.
Happy eating!-)

Boulevard Bistro in Elk Grove is a nice night out, a good bottle of wine and a petitie filet in a yummy reduction.

There is always the Kitchen if your wallet wasn't emptied at the LFS.

If you want to impress the lady friend the firehouse in old sac will do the trick.

We found a little place at Arden and Eastern, Cheffery's. chefferysbistro.com
It's a nice little place with excellent food and a catering business next door. Breakfast, lunch and dinner we have been very happy.

Yup. Best pizza in Sacramento and they've got a full bar.

I actually met my wife there.
