The Waterboy – Reviews, photos, menu, opening hours Claimed

The food at this place never disappoints. I’ve eaten here twice in every time. It has been fantastic. The service was phenomenal and the food matches. If you’re looking for someplace, nice to take someone. This is definitely the place to go. It’s by no means cheap but it’s not over the top expensive for what you get. Highly recommend.

Very good dishes! Server and staff are so nice too. I love their bruschetta and Crostata. I definitely pick them again! My husband picked baby leaf salad, steak as medium and poundcake. Especially their steak was soooo perfect! I picked …

GOOD COMMUNICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT
We celebrated our wedding anniversary over dinner last evening.
-Despite the 95F temp, we were quite comfortable in their patio with the fine …

Everything was wonderful. Food & service was excellent & parking was close & directly across the street. I will certainly go again when in the Sacramento area.

My sister took me to The Waterboy for lunch while I was visiting the area. Such a delightful experience in so many ways! From the pleasant, fairly quiet and easily accessible area – we even found a free parking space right across the street …

Amazing food! They made me a delicious vegan, oil and sugar free dish. If I could have licked my plate clean, I would have. Service is wonderful and the ambience is nice. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

The service, staff, food, and experience was amazing. I’ve known of this place for years, but had never had the pleasure of dining there until this past weekend. I especially loved our waitress, Heather, she was charming and adorable. I had …

Sacramento is a pretty sleepy town but as it is home of the state capitol there are at least a handful of great dining spots. The Waterboy feels like a place the locals go and would rather keep quiet about (lest the out-of-towners like me …

We came for grandpa’s 70th birthday and it was great. We had the charcuterie plate and it had so many different things I can’t begin to remember them all. Grandpa had the skirt steak and it was perfect. I tried the sweetbreads for the first …

The Waterboy is my favorite restaurant in Sacramento. I’ve never had a bad meal here, and every once in awhile I have an extremely delicious and memorable dish. For example, the pork belly carbonara (pictured) is one of the best pasta …

Good halibut with sea scallops but the size was more of an appetizer than a main dish for lunch. Good quiet location on weekday lunch with reservation, friendly and helpful staff

I placed an order for pickup and scheduled it for 4:45 p.m., fifteen minutes prior to their opening time. The food came promptly and was packaged securely. Extra bread was included with the order for two. We chose the chicken and were …

After wedding ceremony in Sacrament, we try at the first visit. It’s delicious and very happy for our choice!

The atmosphere is lovely. Very conscientious service, even greeting us with a glass of champagne for our anniversary (a very nice touch!). Food was good. The only issue we had was the ribeye steak I ordered was difficult to cut/eat due to fat and grissle content. The scalloped style potatoes were the best I ever had!

Came in from NYC to see family for a week and cannot believe how incredible this restaurant was! I’ve had what alot of ppl consider the best chicken dishes/roasted chicken dishes in NYC (Barbuto, Robert De Niro’s Locande Verde, etc) and the …

Went for a team dinner. Ordered a few appetizers. The salad of baby beets, focaccia and the gnocchi. They were fantastic. Ordered the cassoulet for myself. It was good and seemed to be the most popular dish ordered. Got a Tiramisu for dessert which was huge and good for sharing. Atmosphere was lively and service was great.

This is the first time I’ve been to the Waterboy in years. It was nothing less than spectacular from the ambience to the server to the focaccia, appetizers and entrees. Simply amazing!

I ate with a group and each tasted everyone’s dish. I thought it was overall ok. I really enjoyed the peach dressing used in the duck entree and thought the sweet peas were slightly done to perfection and wanted more, but the polenta, duck, …

I have been missing out. There is a swerved on the menu that I would’ve never have ordered but fortunately the friendly couples sorting next to us recommended it and it was amazing. Make sure to get the bread to sop up the yummy juices. …

I had the ravioli and side Ceasar salad. Both were absolutely delicious. It’s a little pricey, but it’s well worth it. We sat outside on a very warm day. They had misters which made it very comfortable.

Food, wine and service were fabulous and can’t wait to return. Beet salad, chicken and dumplings and scallops, with dark chocolate tart were all delicious. We enjoyed our red wine as well. Thank you.

Food was good. The duck could use some type of sauce. The sweetbreads was excellent. The service was also excellent I dont think my water glass was ever half full

The Waterboy is a great restaurant with a selection that may seem simple, but the the care and effort put into each dish is phenomenal. …

I sat on the patio with my Golden Retriever Jeff and the staff was very accommodating to him and myself. Service was fantastic and very attentive . Steak Tartar didn’t have any taste, but looked good and was easy to eat. The grilled pork …

Sarah and I walk past the Waterboy several times a week. We’ve been here separately and wanted to give it a go…. wow just wow. I had the Halibut and Sarah the chicken and dumplings. We had the deviled eggs to start… Each dish was so …

The sweet breads were delicious as well as dessert for me they were the star of the dinner. Scallops cooked perfectly i just didn’t care for the beans. The duck was tender just needed a little salt. our waiter was on point adding his …

I finally had the time to come eat here! 🤣

Beers tasted great! I had Oriole pick them and had plenty of fun going from …

I had never even heard of The Waterboy, but strong reviews prompted us to go. Wow. Just wow. Excellent service (quick bussing of tables, replacing of silverware, an extremely attentive and also situationally aware waiter) as well as super …

Wonderful service. Welcoming atmosphere. Short rib entree was delicious as well as dessert. The foccacia was too salty for my liking. I’d definitely go back to try other items.

Pink lady cider, Corti Bros Sherry Cask Special 7yr Whiskey, Duck Breast, Pork Belly. We went because a lot of staff took vacation this week and they closed for lunch instead of taxing their staff to cover. I respected it so much that I made sure that I came out for my son’s very first special dinner at a fancy restaurant.
