Nick – I live near Sacramento, I recommend the Waterboy or Binchoyaki for higher end Resy restaurants. Waterboy is French/Italian and is beloved by all Sac residents. Binchoyaki is a great Japanese izakaya though the bill quickly adds up… I used my Amex resy credits at both restaurants within the past month.
