Restaurant overview

About The Waterboy

The Waterboy is an American restaurant in Midtown Sacramento influenced by the produce found in Northern California and the French and Italian cooking styles. Seasonal menus by the chefs have always been key to the business; that way, there is room to accommodate the seafood and vegetables that are available.

The lunch menu features composed salads, sandwiches, and other small plates, as well as some items that are just as easily fit for dinner. In the evening, the emphasis on seasonal ingredients ensures that the restaurant works for a romantic dinner or a more casual one with friends.

The interior is elegant, but the atmosphere remains relaxed, which is another reason why the restaurant is used for regular lunches as well as for special dinners.

Since the printed menu updates often, the current online menu should be consulted for information about the current offerings in any given week. Reservations can be made via the restaurant’s official reservation website.
