Thanks again for giving me the scoop while I'm in Sac. The inlaws always want to go to Espanol because they can walk there. I checked out the flaming grill and thought it was fantastic.

But I've gone there maybe 30 times and NEVER had anything other than a great experience. I've gone early, I've gone late... weekends, weekdays... for appetizers, drinks, brunch, or the whole dinner. They've always been great. Riverside Clubhouse is weird… people seem to have such horrible experiences there, or just hit/miss.

Do they also own 33rd St. Bistro? That place isn't too bad, but Riverside is horrible. I was there for 45 minutes before our order was taken, everything came out at different times, and half our party was finished with their food before the other half got theirs (37 minutes later - we timed it). The orders were mostly wrong, and they never apologized or knocked anything off the bill. Pretty ridiculous. I was attempting to impress my parents, who live in Berkeley and eat out 5 times a week. Needless to say, they don't come up to Sacramento very often any more. I didn’t know Riverside Clubhouse was theirs, too. Do they also own 33rd St. Bistro?

I have been watching the "Suzie Burger" project progress at 29th and Q for some time, that is also a Haines project...what struck me as odd is that when I went to a Planning meeting regarding this, Mr. Haines seemed unaware that local neighborhood associations might be interested in hearing about their project. That being said, I will eat the burgers and fries there. I'm kind of hoping that some of the local car clubs will start hanging out in the parking lot. Didn't the Flaming Grill formerly house a kosher deli/middle-eastern food place? Farah's Catering or some such? Or is my geography skewed again?

Or true-ish. The buffet is 25 bones, but it's ALWAYS on sale for, I think, 12. It's like the record store in Old Sac, where everything is too expensive, but always 20% off. It's a stupid business model in my opinion, but it apparently has followers. Not true. Or true-ish.

Thus, an empty chair took my place. B) it's RIDICULOUSLY expensive. The Kaveri buffet is better, and only $12. Theirs is like $25! For a BUFFET! WTF! AT LUNCH! As for Gaylord:

I think Riverside Clubhouse could have achieved something like you describe Mr. Eats. Only with a mid-century modern feel i suppose. To bad the Land Park NIMBYs can't see past their own parking spot. But I suppose they envy the silence of their deceased and burried neighbors in the cemetery. Gaylord's does excellent food. Every meal I've had there has been perfectly cooked and explosive in flavor. But Gaylord's had the worst service I've ever experienced - so bad it was embarassing for both the restaurant and the customer. I don’t want to think Vegas… i hate Vegas.
