Restaurants near SMF Airport

Cocktails and food along with dessert were excellent! 

We had a wonderful dinner on a Saturday night. We made reservations, and the only seating options were outside. That went well, aside from the ever-present buses going right past the outdoor seating area. Nothing can be done about that obviously! Fortunately we were in a shady area, with the covered outdoor patio being misted every so often. It made for a comfortable outdoor experience. We had a great server named Luis. He was very knowledgeable, and had lots of recommendations and suggestions. We had the Hamachi Crudo and the Heirloom Tomatoes with beets as a starter. They were both very delicious. My entree was the halibut, which I altered slightly to not include bacon fat and bacon, since I do not eat pork products. The chefs creation was very delicious. My partner had the fried chicken, which seems like a strange dish to have at a fine dining restaurant, however she said that it was excellent. Most other reviews would strongly agree with her opinion. I also had a non-alcoholic, mocktail. I don't recall which one it was and what it was very light and refreshing, and also had cucumber in it. For dessert we had the whipped cheesecake offering and were very happy with that selection. The restaurant was fairly busy, from what we could tell. It also appeared much larger, upon entering and being greeted by the hostess. It is a very beautiful space, and everyone around us definitely was having a good time. We will certainly be back and possibly sit inside. Zero complaints, all positive from this first visit. We definitely recommend it!

This is the best dining experience that I have ever had, and I wasn't expecting it at all. My mom and I visited this restaurant for her birthday, and we have not been able to stop talking about it since. After eating at this restaurant, you'll think about what food is, and whether or not everything you've eaten prior to your meal could even be considered food. I wish I could keep this place in my pocket. What an amazing restaurant. What a phenomenal experience. Huge shoutout to the chefs and waitstaff. I'll never get over this. Thank you.
