Waterboy - Sacramento

I enjoyed the beet salad and the halibut with sea scallops, but the portion sizes were more akin to appetizers than main courses. The restaurant offers a pleasant and quiet atmosphere on weekdays, especially if you make a reservation. The staff was friendly and helpful as well.

I had a wonderful birthday evening with great company. It was my first time dining here, and I will definitely be back. James provided exceptional service and was incredibly kind. This place is a must-try!

We had a fabulous meal and felt extremely decadent ordering the fantastic sweetbreads. They were perfectly cooked, tender and delicious.

I'm torn between giving The Waterboy three stars versus four stars.

Not my kind of place. Bar /tavern side had shrieking, raucous customers on a day when no one around. Really a tasting menu, teeny plates, teeny portions, poor value. Waitress told me that the green peppers in my mussel soup were mild- they were not and had to spit out with my mouth on fire. Truly embarassing when I was being treated. They did give me asparagus instead. Their only vegetable. They did not notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit on in the tavern/ bar area but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place if you eat high healthy protein and veggies like I do. I do not like to leave a restaurant feeling bloated with too much food but neither do I want to leave hungry. Their coffee was good after the meal.
