The food was very very good! Especially the Petite Filet Mignon.... Service was above average. The menu choices were very good but pricy......average meal around $35 The atmosphere is unique. The setting is an 1890's style paddlewheel excursion boat that has been converted into a Hotel, Restaurant, and Live Theatre. Limited Parking availability, but valet is available for guests. more

Nothing but superlatives! Restaurant is set on the Sacramento River aboard a turn-of-the-century working riverboat. The great food, parlor ambiance and historical setting simply cant be replicated elsewhere. Everyone should go at least once, or twice, or three times ... more

Went to the Delta King Pilothouse Restaurant for a speical dinner... It was fantastic. The restaurant is beautifully maintained inside, spacious, with beautiful views. The service is the best in town. The scallops were melt in your mouth delicious. The staff was very nice to my 12 year old son, and he enjoyed a hamburger that I think I might... more

This was our first visit to Sacramento. My wife and I wandered aboard the Delta King without reservations, were welcomed and we ate aboard the historic sternwheeler at the Sacramento Riverfront on June 6th. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the price was much more reasonable than I expected. All this from a "touristy" attraction. It was fun... more

My husband and I planned a special night at the Delta King restaurant. We were seated a half hour late, in the middle of the room, not the window requested when we reserved. The bacon chowder with clams (clam chowder) was barely warm. My husband's entree of three under cooked scallops and a half cup of soggy risotto ($26) was... more

Prix Fixe (with or without wine pairing) is the best deal in town, or in Northern California for that matter. Great setting. Service is a little inexperienced but friendly. more

Lunch at the Delta King is a memorable event! The food is great and the presentation is beautiful. The boat has so much history and a great view of the river. more

I believe Fred was the manager. He most definaly needs more experince as it seems he did not care about my party of 12. We went to the Pilot House restaurant and it was my wife's 60th birthday party. We reserved our tables weeks in advance. When we arrived there were no window tables available and we had to sit... more
