on Citysearch Oct 09, 2009Well, the service was wonderful but the bread and entress left much to be desired. We have going to Slocum House for years and have always LOVED the food...until last night. The bread was unbelievably stale-tasted... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 19, 2009They failed in trying to disable the alarm. I could tell cuz they popped the hood and disconnected the battery. It was parked on a poorly lit public street outside only because Slocum House has a small parking space... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 23, 2009Let me just say if it weren't for the fact I had a great experience when I took my Mother and Grandmother for Mother's Day I would have given this review one star instead of two. I know most places are busy on Father's Day... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 23, 2009I tried to go there on Tuesday July 21 2009 and they were closed....the sign said sorry and blah blah blah. I didn't go there by choice by the way. Another restaurant bites the dust in this economy, I won't miss them... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 18, 2009Slocum House my love, we need to talk... We've been seeing each other on and off since I moved here in 2005 and typically had great times together. Why did you ignore me last night? And when you finally acknowledge my... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 21, 2008The Slocum House at one time was a fine place to dine, but as times change, so did the Slocum House. I had called and spoke with Matt and requester a reservation at 7:30. I ask not to be placed on a traffic Isle, a table or... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2008Let me begin by saying the food is exquisite. That being said, I'd like to add that it was probably one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We were seated at a tiny table near the entry to one of the dining... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 04, 2008I don't get to eat out at fine dining places very often, so when my mom asked me if I wanted to go somewhere nice for a change, I thought of the Slocum House right away. I had always heard wonderful things about the place.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 09, 2008I read all the comments here and concluded that the negatives were just off days and that it couldn't be so bad. Well, I was wrong. First and foremost, the most romantic place in Sacramento?? Are you kidding me? I... (more)

on Citysearch May 23, 2008As I ascended the graceful steps up to the "majestic" Slocum House i was anxious. I had heard so many good things about the restaurant online, so my wife and I decided to give it a try. After we were sat at a table, next to a... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 29, 2008My husband and I went to the Slocum House for our anniversary last weekend. There has been a large difference of opinion by past reviewers as to whether the Slocum House is romantic or outdated. To me, this place has a... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 26, 2007I've heard rave reviews about this restaurant and I don't understand why anyone would eat here. My wife and I have eaten here twice (not by choice the second time). We felt that the brunch was better quality than the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2007I went to brunch and was thoroughly unimpressed. The service was average, a little juvenile - making jokes about taking tequila shots and drinking champagne. We sat on the patio which was a nice setting expcept for... (more)
