You can try the A La Carte dining site:

     http://www.westweb.com:80/alacarte/CA.html

Select Sacramento and hit search -- it returned 284 restaurants.  This is
just a list, without any additional info, none of the restaurants had a
web site, and only one was reviewed.  I did note a couple of high-end
chains (like Morton's) and the usual fare, but it's a start.  Note: some
people have had difficulty with the site, being unable to access the
search page.  I'm using Netscape 2.0  and had no problem.

Hello?  Anybody home?  I know you're on Netloser, but you should still
be able to figure out that this thread is being cross-posted to ba.food.

Why would you say that? Sacramento isn't in the Bay Area.

Besides, this is already cross-posted to ba.food, 

Might try sac.general. though.

Hi, Henry, 

Here's a bunch of recommendations that were passed on to me last
November when I made a business trip to Sacramento. This list is
special to me since the woman who posted it, Susan Sapirstein, has
since passed away. She was a great friend of this newsgroup. Here's
her posts:

Of these places, I tried Vallejo's (great Mexican breakfast), the
State Capitol (skip it), Zelda's (great!), Biba's (also terrifc, but
expensive) and Fuji's (wonderful sushi.

Good eating!

I was so taken by this response, for I had insulated myself from how much
I have missed Susan.  The largesse that she, through Mr Goldsmith, has
bequeathed us just emphasizes how large is our loss.

More practically, I can enthusiastically endorse # 18.  It's called 'Biba's."

You might try ba.food.

Kay

Some to add:

Tapas the World
Alioli

Both of these have great tapas.  Tapas the World is open late. 
Alioli is more formal.

River City Cafe
California cuisine in Old Sac. - sits on top of the water with a
nice view of the river.


Enjoy!

I have tried that site.  For Sacramento, it's no better than looking up a 
Sacramento phone book since there is no other information than name, address, 
and phone no.

Is there a Zagat's for Sacramento?

I don't know. Unless you can find one, I'd say the best bet is to trust
Susan Hattie Steinsapir's list (she had a very good reputation as a "taste
maven" on rec.food.cooking. Alas, has departed this earth).

One more restaurant ...  if you like prime rib, the best we've ever 
had (honest) is at the Sacramento Metro Airport restaurant.  Enjoy!

You might try the sac.general newsgroup.

The Friday Sac Bee has a list of restaurants categorized by price (low, 
medium and high, basically), with ratings for food and ambiance. I've 
found this guide to be reliable, at least for the medium/high places.
Some of my favorites:
	Biba's-one of the best Northern Italian restaurants around. The menu 
changes seasonally. Biba also has a cooking show on PBS/Cable. (28th  and M 
or so)
	Celestines- Gumbo heaven. (Midtown, J and 25th )
	Mums- Hearty, flavorful vegetarian (Freeport Avenue...)
