Rand Paragary has open another restaurant in Sacramento, it is the Esquire Grill located in Downtown Sacramento at the corner of 13th and K Street. It is located across the street from the Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency, next door to the Imax theater.  It is a special place and has taken off in a big way.  A simple classification would be a "Big City Grill", Sacramento hasn't had a restaurant with this type of feeling in many year's.  The interior is beautifull decorated with wood and marble.  Plenty of comfortable booths and a great view of the chiefs working the grill.  I have been their thre times since it has opened about a month ago. Twice for lunch and once for dinner.  On our trip for dinner their were four of us.  I started off with a bowl of clam chowder, which was Boston Style and it was excellant. The others in the party had salads which they enjoyed.  For the main course my wife had broiled Aahi and she said it was excellent. Don had Cajun flavored pasta dish which was good but could have been hotter.  The hot part is relative because Don likes things really really hot.  Two of us had the spit roasted 1/2 chicken, which was superb, even the breast was nice and juicy. In fact the other two said they would have the chicken next time, too.  We topped the meal off with dessert, one chocolate cake, one apple tart, that was enough to share.  The wine selection is large, with plenty of great California selections and the coffee was much better than the normal restaurant blends.  If you are in town and staying at the Hyatt, just walk around the corner, if you are coming from anywhere else use the valet parking.  Grade wise the food service and ambiance deserve the highest rating A+.  Oh, and if you can't get in Randy Paragary has four other restaurants a scant 15 blocks away.  Enjoy downtown Sacramento.
