Before leaving the Sacramento area, my husband and I had become regulars at this quant, charming neighborhood gem. The food was always amazing and service impeccable. Chef Rick always strives to create the highest standard in his dishes, making masterpieces from simple, locally grown/ raised items. Everytime, we are in the area, we are sure stop in for dinner. more

Waterboy is a great place to eat. The food is delicious and creative. Local, fresh ingredients are always used. Service is great and unpretentious. It is a little noisy and parking is some times a challenge. more

This was our first dinning experience at the Waterboy. We’ve heard many good reviews and decided to give it a try. We went for dinner on a Wednesday night. To our surprise, the restaurant was packed by 7pm. Having had the pleasure of trying many nice restaurants around Sacramento and in California, I would rank Waterboy towards that top. For... more
