We pivoted last minute and Canon had availability. I’d say this is a Michelin star recommended status restaurant. The tapas are delicious and the main dishes are CRAZY good. One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. One of the better spots I’ve been to in Sacramento.

The food, service and ambiance were above and beyond excellent! Such a great place for a birthday celebration! Highly recommend reservations as this place gets pretty busy as the night goes on. Better to order family style so that you can try several dishes, they are smaller in portion. We ordered several plates to share and each one better then the next. We had oysters, champagne, tater tots with Mole sauce, and so much more. Try all the drinks as you can't go wrong with any of them. The staff is so incredibly kind and attentive! Thank you for an amazing birthday dinner!

Love this place! The cocktail list and bottles behind the bar caught my eye first. Very fun bar with lots of great options. I had the Peach Pit and Sassenach cocktails. Both were great. The hit for the whole table though was the Valley Girl… very fun and unique. Every course of the meal was amazingly presented and delicious. Highly recommend the tater tots and hamachi crudo. Would love to come back many times!

This was our third time to Canon and it never disappoints. Their cocktails are great and their wine list is interesting though we brought our own this time. Our family of four always orders 7-10 items create our own tasting menu. The items that stood out the most this time were the Hamachi, corn salad, and pole beans. They were sold out of the filet so we got the pork instead which was delicious. And highly recommend the crunch roll to dip in all the sauces but the butter it comes with is incredible also. The cooking is creative, the presentation is aesthetic, the service is attentive but not overly so, and the desserts are always great. Highly recommend Canon!

Great service. Atmosphere is lively. It was completely packed by the time we left at 8pm. Reservation is recommended. Even the bar seats were filled - so it may be hard for a walk-in. The portion size was in the smaller end. We ordered about 2 appetizers, 2 smaller, 2 veggies and 2 platters. The whole chicken did the job of filling us up - could have had more spices. It was a little bland. However, the other smaller dishes were great.
