    I had an AMAZING experience at The Waterboy. This restaurant in midtown Sacramento has been on my bucket list, and honestly I had pretty high expectations going in. I will let you know that The Waterboy met all my expectations in regard to the food and service here. In fact, they exceeded my expectations! This restaurant is a higher-end establishment with white tablecloths and all. Though it is higher-end, it's not stuffy inside. In fact, the dining room is welcoming and cozy. It has a nice calm and relaxing vibe with people happily enjoying their meals over good conversation. The food was stellar. We started with the deviled eggs and they were smooth and filled our mouths with delicious-ness. The appetizer comes with four, but I seriously wanted ten of them. For our first course we began with salads and shared a soup. The salads were well balanced and pretty much exactly what you would expect. They were delicate and flavorful. For the soup, we shared a chilled corn soup. Again, this soup was balanced just right. We loved the sweet corn flavor with the pops of tomato. For entrees, the pork chop was the juiciest I've ever had in my entire life. It was juicy on the inside and the crust had a beautiful char on it that gave it the complex flavors I wanted that evening. The chicken was also amazing with a perfectly crisp and light skin. The Waterboy is a restaurant 100% worth going to and I'd happily vouch that it's one of the best restaurants in all of Sacramento!

    Food here is always excellent and creative. I come here annually after attending the music circus. The service is impeccable and the food that is turned out from their tiny kitchen is always on point. This is a splurge for me and they have never disappointed me.

    Complex, delicious, perfectly prepared duck breast with pork belly. This dish was very well thought out. Paired great with a glass of pinot noir
