Michelin Guide rated neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable cuisine and a year-round patio."With a clear vision, a striking aesthetic and distinctive, mouthwatering flavors, Canon restaurant in East Sacramento is a stellar and welcome addition to the city’s dining scene." - 4-Stars, Sacramento Bee "Find the convivial Canon sequestered away from the downtown bustle. This cool space that contrasts deep tones against bright whites is enveloped by the aromatic smell of smoke, so it’s no surprise that the house is packed most nights. Chef Brad Cecchi is the culinary mastermind and his menu is pivoted around playful small plates." - Michelin Guide

    I've been there several times, it's always outstanding. If the weather is right, sit outside, it's like another world. Inside is more modern and wonderful too. It's not too cheap price wise, but worth every penny. Service is very good, and if it's your birthday, they will take a picture and frame it in a cardboard frame. They are thoughtful and kind there always. Highly recommended

    Our server Stewart gave the best recommendations and was so attentive! We came to celebrate our anniversary and loved the little touch of putting “Happy Anniversary!” on our menus. The food was delicious and we left perfectly full but it was really the service that blew us away. We will definitely be back! ♥️
