Capitol Garage, Sacramento

Every day, Capitol Garage changes its identity. In the mornings, the restaurant's baristas whip up gourmet espressos and coffees, and their chefs crack open eggs for breakfast. But by nightfall, the creamers and sugars disappear from the tables, and the brunch café transforms into a casual dinner venue and nightclub. Sandwiches, salads, and top sirloin steaks race out of the kitchen to candlelit tables. On a few nights of the week, karaoke echoes throughout the dining room. Regardless of the meal, Capitol Garage's ingredients are locally sourced from businesses such as Glaum Egg Ranch, Zoe's Meats, and Earth, one of the best food sources around. In addition, the restaurant serves a robust menu of vegan and vegetarian options all prepared with trans-fat-free oils.
