Restaurant Reviews:

Table 260: Do a 180 from Table 260 Downtown - Let's be blunt. At Table 260 Downtown, there was no soul and, it turns out, hardly any food. The only fusion we encountered was the melding of lethargy and apathy and a pinch of ennui. Instead, all we can report is that Table 260 Downtown is a restaurant in a free fall, with practically no apparent effort to be a viable business, let alone a proud practitioner of soul food. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.

Orphan Breakfast House: Something familiar -  Service by the black-garbed waiters and waitresses is prompt. It takes even less time to consume than it does to wait. A principal reason the service is so fast is because most of the dishes are similar. Greg Lucas in the Sac News and Review.

Earlier: New Orphan badly needs to adopt the idea of flavor - This is a place that specializes in breakfast and the food just doesn't cut it, given the competition all over town. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
