After more than 30 years of operation, The Kitchen has upgraded to a grander space, but its raucous party atmosphere, led by energetic emcee Chef Kelly McCown, is the same as ever. Diners are encouraged to get up and walk around, even to wander through the kitchen and rub elbows with the cooks. Really like that truffle dish? The chef, who frequently proclaims the menu’s caloric impact, nonetheless invites you to ask for seconds.

The Citizen Hotel is primo for those with business on their minds, but that doesn’t mean it’s all just corporate here downtown. In fact, Grange, tucked inside the hotel, is proof positive that business and pleasure mix with fine results.

This upscale beauty in downtown Sacramento is equal parts rustic and refined, with floor-to-ceiling curtains, thick linens and a colorful overhang comprised of antique wood. You're likely to be seated among regulars chatting with the attentive staff while exploring the thoughtful wine selections. The menu offers creative takes on globally influenced dishes, while perfectly crispy Southern fried chicken remains a staple and rightfully so. The bar is also a great place to linger — with an expertly prepared cocktail, like the house gin and tonic.
