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

    Paragary's remains a lovely destination for dinner in a very nice attractive venue. While the dining options for dinner seemed fairly priced for a nice meal, the bar items seemed overprice. The service was warm, competent and not stuffy. We really enjoyed meeting friends here for dinner.

    My cousin and I finally made it to Ella after wanting to go for years, and it did not disappoint. He was visiting from Honolulu, so we decided to go for dinner. From the valet to the hostess taking our coats and seating us right at our reserved time, everything felt smooth and welcoming. Our server, Andra, was truly exceptional. She was kind, knowledgeable, relatable, and so easy to talk to. You could tell she enjoys what she does and cares about making her guests feel comfortable and enjoy their experience. Every recommendation she gave us was spot on. We started with the salmon carpaccio and bread and butter. The carpaccio was divine, and the furikake-seasoned saltine crackers paired so well with the cold-smoked salmon. I had the king salmon as my main, which was delicious. The Brussels sprouts were some of the best I’ve ever had. Andra mentioned they had just been added to the menu about a week ago, so I really hope they stay! For dessert, we tried the sticky toffee pudding on Andra’s recommendation, and it was the star of the night. We also had the apple cobbler, which was delicious. Everything we ate and our overall experience at Ella was impeccable. We’ll definitely be back soon. If you’re thinking about checking Ella out, make it a priority—and hopefully you get just as lucky as we did with Andra as your server
