AUGUST 2026

“The Peach and Burrata Salad is so perfect right now, with heirloom tomatoes, ripe peaches, hot honey and burrata, late summer at its finest. We are already planning our fall menu and one of the items features Swordfish which we have run successfully as a special.”

Back to school seemed to arrive earlier than ever before, or maybe the world changed when I wasn’t looking. My grandson Enzo is now in first grade, and I wouldn’t like to be his teacher. He is a handful, but the happiest and most curious kid! A visit with Enzo means an early night for his gramps!

We had a grand opening for the Little Sitka Marina on August 13, which was well attended so now the marina is truly open for business and we are beginning to see more boats come by. It will take some time for people to realize that it is open, but the recent article, with the new Westin GM Danielle Price, in the Sacramento Business Journal will help get the word out.

Our new Sous Chef Greg Dunn is not really new at all. Greg has worked with Scott’s both here and at Folsom for many years in different capacities, but has decided after leaving for another opportunity, that his heart is in the restaurant business and we are thrilled to have him back. Welcome back Greg!

The weather has been mostly cooperative giving us perfect evenings on the patio, apart from one hot spell, but even then it cooled off with the advent of the delta breeze. Sacramento! We are very fortunate to be here, and especially on the river!

So thank you all for your support!
