"We had a wonderful experience last weekend celebrating my nieces graduation dinner and with a party of 15 they accommodated us perfectly in our own private section with a prefixed menu along with appetizers. Food was delicious! I believe his name is Jason that was our server but he was fantastic, patient, attentive and very friendly! He definitely made the experience top notch and I look forward to coming back! Great view of the capitol outside when we took pictures on the patio. Great decor and large wine selection. Thank you Prelude Kitchen for a memorable night."

"A nicer dining option in downtown Sacramento with delicious drinks, good service and pretty good food (some dishes are hit-or-miss as I’ll explain below)

We opted for outdoor seating. I much prefer to sit outside, the inside vibes are a bit off to me (I can’t put my finger on it…). The interior is quiet and the trimming, layout, and bright lighting makes it feel like the inside of a residential house. I think this resonates with other diners as well since I saw all the outside tables full, while the inside had a lot of empty tables.

The service was great, really friendly. The cocktails were delicious as well. The food was overall good. The pork chop and the chicken dishes were great. The steak was cooked perfectly. There were a few dishes that were REALLY SALTY. Like almost hard to eat, because it was so salty. For instance, both of our pasta dishes our entire group of 9 thought were really salty."

"Reviewing lunch on a weekday:
Beautiful view of the capital, but limited lunch menu and really middling quality really holds this otherwise well-kept and well-serviced restaurant from the full 5 stars.

The bread felt cheap and served as backbone for a lot of the menu, and a single item being out of stock cut total options by 10%, which felt oddly more painful than if the menu had been larger. Drinks are not bad but do little to elevate the food quality.

Ingredients don’t seem to be particularly well sourced or presented. Price is set high, relatively speaking, for the view it seems. Salads are swimming in dressing with little in the way of actual ingredient variety. Steak burger is a stand out and you should probably get that to avoid being let down by other options. Pasta also might be a star, should likely have gone with that instead of a sandwich. The sides are portioned well (e.g. fries), but overall fry quality was really weak. Felt industrial and cheap.

You may not find many better options just steps from the capital, but take this as a lunch flag and maybe try this place for dinner instead and see if you can catch some better luck with an expanded menu and better options."
