Cowtown Eats - Sacramento's Happy Hours

Daily Dining Deals: Vanilla Bean Bistro, Had's Steak & Seafood

Vanilla Bean Bistro (formerly Gonul's J St. Cafe) is just east of Alhambra on J St. I haven't tried it yet, but Greg Lucas of the Sac News & Review says:

A summer salad, presumably soon to leave the menu, of heirloom tomatoes, peach, apple, sweet shallots and feta is a stellar opening act. In its absence, go for the frisee with walnuts, goat cheese and dried cranberries in the driver’s seat.
