"Located in the heart of Sacramento downtown, Grange is in the Citizen Hotel, a very nice historic hotel in the city. The overall layout of the restaurant is geared towards socializing, with a large open space, long banquettes, a long bar and some high tops. The décor is old world chic, and there is also a private dining room at the back, and some upstairs areas overlooking the main floor. Very cool digs for sure. We dropped in for lunch on a Saturday. The bar was full, but the dining area was near empty. Our server was friendly, but a little distracted, probably due to the lack of customers at that time. Aside from that, the fact that due to the layout, you can see and hear the servers chatting behind what is supposed to be a barrier wall that is actually completely open (more like a designer screen than a wall). We looked at the menu, and determined we were truly not that hungry yet. So, instead of just walking out, we asked to split one of their eggs benedict. The chef did a really nice job on the benedict. It they came out on a 'designed ' plate, each with a side salad to fill the remaining space. The salad was a nice touch. The benedicts were perfectly prepared, and had a southwest flavor. Chorizo instead of Canadian bacon, topped with a chipotle hollandaise and jalapenos. A tasty and welcome surprise. Grange is a bit pricey, but if you are up to a social night out this would be a good choice in my opinion."
