Had higher hopes for Ten 22. Food was ok. Decor was contemporary and kinda hip. Service was ok. Nothing to write home about.
Details:
Food was ordinary. Started with a couple of apps: the Phyllo Wrapped Shrimp and Roasted Nuts and Cheese. They were fine. Nothing that made you go, "Wow!".
Hubby had the Hearty Burger that Sacramento Magazine just proclaimed one of the top 10 burgers in Sac. I don't agree. The patty was dry although it was ordered medium which means slightly pink in the middle which it was. Yet it was still dry. And the bun was equally dry if not a tad bit stale. The pepper jack cheese didn't come through on the flavor radar and even though there was bacon on it, he actually had to add salt. I suggested the salt after tasting it and being fairly underwhelmed. Fries that accompanied it were fine.
I had the Hand Dipped Mini Corn Dogs which were eh. Four little vienna sausages overwhelmed in a thick corn batter. More corn than dog. A tad bit greasy on top of that. Sweet potato fries on the side were ok.. Nothing spectacular. Would have been better if the dipping sauce for the fries was more interesting than ketchup. Maybe something with a little kick might have helped.
Patio looked inviting although we ate inside. Valet parking was nice. Or if you park in the garage, they validate.
Service was attentive and non-move-it-alongish. Can't complain about that when you just wanta hang out and finish your beer.
Ten 22 isn't bad, I just wasn't getting the fabulosity that other reviewers have felt.

LOVE Biba! The food is fab. The service is extraordinary. The ambiance is old school.
Got to come here again last week for Dine Downtown Week and had a dining experience that would be hard to beat. First, kudos for providing black linen napkins to us ladies wearing black. It keeps the white lint from sticking to our ensemble and is the sign of a restaurant that cares about their patrons. Details like this are what keeps Biba at the top of the dining scene. Ok, I admit. The clientele may be a little older although I was happy to see lots of young groups taking advantage of the prix fixe menu. Old to me is 80; young is 20ish.
Food was spectacular. Let me enlighten you....
Polpette di Granchio e Cappe Sante. Crab, prawn and seafood cakes. Light, crispy, large, delightful.
Gnocchi di Ricotta con Gorgonzola. Housemade ricotta gnocchi with sweet gorgonzola sauce. Gnocchi are little pillows of love and these did not disappoint! A perfect sized portion to leave room for lots more to come. My fave course!
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca. Spaghetti with tomatoes, garlic, capers, olives and hot pepper flakes. Not too spicy. Not a fan of olives, but picked around them and loved every bite.
Filetto di Manzo con Pancette Affumicata. Grilled Filet Mignon wrapped in smoked Italian bacon. Beef with bacon? Are you kidding me? Awesome! I could feel my arteries clogging up, but at least I will die with a smile on my face.
Branzino in Padella con Burro, Capperi e Limone. Sauteed Sea Bass with a wine, butter, caper and lemon sauce. Superb. Perfectly cooked. Every bite a mouth-watering delight.
Apple Crostata for dessert. A perfect ending to a perfect meal.
Courses were perfectly spaced out so as not to hurry you yet give you enough time to linger and converse with your compadres. If our server thought he might be interrupting a conversation, he hung back until we were finished talking. Actually, we're big talkers so he probably just jumped in when he saw a rare break in the conversation.
For drinks, I had the House Pinot Grigio and Hubby had a cocktail,...or two. So for the special menu at $30 per person, the dessert which was not included in the prix fixe menu and drinks, dinner came to about $100. Not bad.
Pros:
Are you kidding me? The food!
Service is impeccable.
Black linen napkins rock!
Good value.
Cons:
Decor is old school (outdated) and could use a little refreshing. Not a fan of the eye-height stick-on mirrors that encircle the room.

Silver Dragon is oh so good! What a nice little surprise tucked into my backyard!
The first sign you know you've struck gold is when you walk in and every table is full. At 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon no less!
As soon as you sit down, hot tea and glasses of water are brought to your table. Food is prepared fresh and arrives quickly. Wait staff is friendly and on the ball about refilling water glasses.
Trying to eat healthy, I ordered shrimp and veggies steamed, szechwan sauce on the side with steamed rice. They executed it perfectly which allowed me a guilt-free meal. My waistline thanks you!
Son had lemon chicken that was pretty good if not a little heavy on the crispy batter. Portions are LARGE.
Postickers were prepared fresh with a menu warning that they take 10 minutes to arrive at your table after ordering. It didn't seem like FIVE minutes before they showed up.
Lunch for two plus the potstickers came to 18 bucks. That's crazy cheap!
I'm picky about my Asian eats and haven't found anything I really like off of Broadway. But nestled into a strip mall sits this little gem of a restaurant. So worth the drive if you don't live nearby!
Pros:
Easy to park.
Good value.
Delicious food.
Attentive service.
Cons:
Lots of tables close together.

3.5 stars.
Very cute, quaint little bistro. Right off Auburn-Folsom Rd in Granite Bay...blink and you miss it!
Went with a friend recently and tried to sample as many dishes as possible with only our appetites as our limit. Here's what we had...
Butternut Squash Soup with Pickled Ginger - Beautiful presentation. Delightful flavor. A little top heavy with the green onions. LARGE portion. 'Reminded' our server I only ordered a cup. "This IS a cup madame, " recited with his best French accent. Wow. Could have been my whole meal right there. It's about quality though, not quantity. $6.95
French Onion Soup - Pleasant. Not overly salty as some are. $6.95
Chicken Pot Pie - Beautiful presentation. Again, a little top heavy with the green onions and maybe a little cheesy, but overall had good flavor and consistency. Topped with a light, crispy crust, this is a great comfort food. $15.95
Beef Panini with Brie Cheese and Carmelized Onions - This was the deal breaker and the dish with the most potential. Panini bread fell apart. Black Angus beef looked and tasted like deli meat. Way too heavy with the Dijon. SO bummed! $12.95
Side Salad - Simple mixed greens with a Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette. Decent. Nothing to write home about. Included with the panini.
Tables and settings give you that 'ooh la la' French feel. Service was good. Chef Christophe was personally making every dish and you can tell his little bistro is a labor of love. I know I'll be back!
Pros:
Portions are large .
Service is good.
Food is pretty good with just a hiccup here and there.
Parking is easy.
Cons:
Struck out with the panini but will try it again.
At 2:00 pm, they lock up the shop! If you're still eating, you feel pressured to hurry up and get out of there.
Green onions are abundant....maybe for some that's a 'pro'.
A little pricey. Lunch for two was 50 bucks.

Cafe Bernardo
Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, American (Traditional), Pizza
Solid 4 stars.
Had to give Cafe Bernardo another star and props for stepping it up. In the last few months, their service has been so much better and although the food has always been top notch, it seems like they're putting out more effort.
The girls who take your order have been much more cheery (I think there's a few new faces working there) and have been exceptionally helpful when I'm trying to order something a little less caloric. You know....suggesting no butter and light cheese on the breakfast sandwich. What a difference! Thank you Cafe Bernardo people for helping me reduce my daily calories so I can save them for special meal splurges!

Good food. Not good service.
You stand in line, order and pay at the counter.
They hand you a playing card in a stand to set on your table.
They bring you your food when it's ready and then that's the last you see of them.
No refills on coffee or drinks. (Actually, they have refills. They just don't offer to get it for you.) They don't clear the dishes when you're done unless you can find someone to ask to do it. They do usually get my order right so I have to give them credit for that. And like I said...the food is good. I especially like the breakfast and usually get the scrambled eggs with scallions, smoked mozzarella cheese with chicken apple sausage and sub out tomatoes for potatoes.
Casual feel. Hard to park with construction going on across the street.
Chef Shannan Berg does a great job and has an interesting and unique menu that has something for everyone!
3.5 stars. ALMOST 4 stars. Maybe next time.
The great thing about dining with a group is getting to travel around the menu tasting this and that. This is what I did today with Hubby and a group of lovely friends. Lots of good food and great wines.
First off, the interior is upscale comfy. Not pretentious. Great for a business meeting, although the overhead music seemed a little loud. If you're aware of the background music, it's not in the background anymore.
Here's what we had:
Salt Cod Fritters - Hubby said they were fancy fish sticks. I gotta agree with him.
Bruschetta - My fave dish of the day. Grilled garlic rubbed bread, crushed chickpeas and rapini with a chili oil. Was really, really good. The chili oil gave it a little kick at the end. Could eat an order of this with a glass of wine (or two!) for a meal. Seriously!
Fritto Misto - Standard fare. Although they did include sliced jalapeno peppers which was a nice touch.
Insalata di Salmone - Kind of a deconstructed salad of salmon, potatoes, beets, capers and egg on arugula. Never saw a beet. It was ok.
Meatball Sandwich - Liked this a lot. Could have used a tad bit more provolone.
Funghi Pizza - By the time I got to the pizza, it had cooled off but was still quite delicious. The smoked mozzarella gave it a nice smoky flavor.
Carbonara - Good, but hard to compare to the real thing I had in Italy at the restaurant that created this dish. This interpretation had red onions that I didn't love.
Tagliata - This was a grilled skirt steak that I found a little chewy but had great flavor.
Valdostana Burger - Hubby thought this was a little over-seasoned. I really liked the fries that were on the side. I'm a fry connoisseur, so I give these fries my stamp of approval.
Melanzane e Olenta al Forno - If you love eggplant (and I do!), this was a great dish. It was served with a creamy polenta baked with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh parmesan. Fab!
We ordered every dessert on the menu, but by then believe it or not, I was pretty full, so I didn't partake in all the deliciousness. I heard lots of yummy noises coming from every side of the table, so they must have been good!
Service was attentive if not a teensy bit hovering. Certainly did not spoil the ambiance or the parade of incredible dishes that kept arriving at the table.
Had a wine aficionado at the table who ordered two amazing reds and a white that I liked a lot. So into the food, I totally forgot to see what we were drinking other than I know the reds were from Italy and were quite good.
Solid, almost 4 star experience. Have a feeling I'll be back and giving it 4 stars soon!

Formoli's Bistro
Categories: American (New), Modern European
Wow! How did I not know about this little gem tucked away in East Sac? Great food and service. Intimate dining room with a handful of tables. The lunch crowd seemed a tad bit older, but maybe that's because they're so wise!
Had the butternut squash soup for starters. More brothy than I've had at other places, but packed with flavor and topped with prosciutto. Fabuloso! So good, I'm making up words!
For my entree, I had the hanger steak special with yam frites. Really incredible flavor and perfectly prepared. The cucumber water is refreshing and is a nice touch.
Didn't try it this time, but a reliable source tells me the whiskey burger is to die for. I love dying for food, so I will def get it next time!
The kitchen is open to the tables which means you get a great kitchen view when you sit at the bar. The drawback is when food gets a little smokey on the grill, it fills the dining room. Probably doesn't happen all the time, but it did on my last visit and it was a little uncomfortable for a few minutes.
Lunch for two which included two cups of soup and two steak specials came to to $42. Portions may be a little small for your Hungry Man.
I'm excited to graze my way through their menu and can't wait to go back!
Pros:
Food is amazing.
Service is outstanding.
Cons:
Dining room can get smokey.
Parking - or lack of.
Dining room a little dark for a business lunch.

Pricey! Yet their selection is bountiful!
They carry a number of hard-to-find tequilas and whiskeys. And if you're looking for your fave bottle of wine, check out their hidden wine room. Go to the back wall, take a left, open the white door on the right hand side and you step into an old bank vault that's been converted into a temperature-controlled, two-room wine vault! VERY cool! Here you'll find your mags of Cristal and upper-end wines.
Their prices are steep, but if you're looking for something special, this is the place to go!

I'm a HUGE Nordstrom Cafe fan! This past weekend I was chatting with my favorite server Jacob only to discover he's been there 15 years! That says a lot about Nordstrom and their ability to retain an employee for that long. Very impressive. Plus the food here is great!
So here's the gig...you stand in line (usually there's a line), order at the cash register, pay, take a seat and they bring your food to you - very cafeteria like. Ingredients are fresh. Soups are divine. Sandwiches amazing. Salads are creative.
They sell their bottled soups and dressings and also have a line of cookbooks.
It's THE place to go to gain sustenance on shopping excursions while at Arden. Plus they serve wine to go with my salad. What more could a girl ask for!

No Lists
Stacey hasn't made any lists yet.
Once through the doors, you walk into a dark, yet vibrant little bar with a great vibe. You got your regulars sitting at the bar that look like they've been parked there a while. The bartender knows them by name and you can tell they all have a lot of history.
The decor is....interesting. Eclectic. Red velvet damask wallpaper with gold leaf mirrors behind the bar. Very bordello-ish. I'm pretty certain it's looked this way for at least 20 years. I liked it.
Bartender was funny and loud and quick-witted. Perfect for our group. She could sling 'em and also made a mean Bloody Mary. We'll definitely be going back soon!
