Simply amazing. What an incredible dining experience. Goes without saying the food is incredible, but the curated experience is just as special. The chefs prepare everything in front of you, there are introductions to every dish, explanations on how they were sourced, etc. etc. etc. You can ask questions throughout the experience, which makes it even more cozy and engaging. Highly recommend the omakase experience.

Chef Frank's is amazing. The food is excellent. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially for the quality and freshness. Many of the staff are Japanese and you feel that there is an authenticity to the food and the service. I highly recommend reservations even on a Wednesday night.

We enjoyed the casual elegant rural farm experience. Very relaxing and honest solid food and service. Impressive, personal and romantic. Walking the property is an added plus combination small farm and gardens. The late 1800’s estate Home and operating Inn is a pristine example of opulence in its time where they were getting ready for a 200+ guest wedding. Already looking forward to our return.

Absolutely had to shout out NyshiaGirl at Fixins in Sacramento—she made our visit unforgettable! My family and I came up from LA to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and from the jump, NyshiaGirl set the tone with her warm energy and top-tier customer service. She knew the menu inside and out, and every recommendation she gave us was spot on—from the perfectly crispy fried chicken to the soul-warming mac & cheese. Beyond the food, Fixins has a dope, down-home vibe that feels like a mix of Sunday dinner at Grandma’s and a classic cookout with family. The music, the atmosphere, and the love in the food? 10/10, no notes. But it was NyshiaGirl who truly elevated the experience—she made us feel like VIPs the entire time. If you’re in Sacramento, ask for her and trust her recommendations—you won’t regret it. We’ll definitely be back! Five stars all the way!
