Patios… A Dining Experience for all Seasons

For over 20 years, Sellands Family of restaurants including The Kitchen, Ella Dining Room and Bar, and OBO’ Italian Table & Bar, & Sellands Market Café’s have long been established as some of the most coveted culinary destinations in the Sacramento region.  Fine handcrafted foods and outstanding flavors of the highest quality ingredients offer, seasonably fresh, farm to fork foodie experiences. The trio of Selland’s Market Cafés are a charming collection of dining destinations found across the distinctive valley locales with beautiful patios, two, outfitted with misting systems installed, for guests to enjoy the best al fresco feasting.

Weekly SPECIALS offer Dinners for 2 on a prix fixe menu @ $29, selected by the house each week. Known as one of the best deals around town, guests can share a bottle of wine and a meal such as the recent medley:

The impeccably designed café’s are set with an open air concept that welcomes with a bright, sunny palette bringing in light from the patio areas.  On days when the weather invites outdoor dining, visitors can take their orders from the culinary smorgasbord of deli and gourmet fare and enjoy the dog-friendly patios dotted with garden lights, fabulous flowers, shade covers, umbrellas and misting systems for cooling.

Strung across the patios for strategic areas to offer respite, the misting systems add a layer of visual content to the colorful plated tables, amazing aromas, and overall dining experience.  When turned on (spring through fall are optimum times to seek refreshment from the sun’s glow), the café’s patios turn into magical bistro settings that give off a festive vibe with a fashionable scene.

Koolfog’s taste team has dined at each Selland’s Café with a unique experience at each one.  We recommend dining under the misters with the following sumptuos selections:

 

Sample:

Made with tomato coulis, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomato-leek confit, parmesan, basil, this pizza can be modified gluten sensitive as well as vegetarian.

Savor:
HERB SALMON FILET SALMON FILET PROVENCAL
A delicious filet featuring roasted cherry tomatoes, leeks, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.

Enough said. Don’t leave without one.

Selland is the perfect place to celebrate springtime, fresh blooms, and fresh healthy food.  So sieze the day and get out of the house (or the office) and head to your nearest Sellands’s patio to spend brunch, lunch or linger for into the afternoon to eat, mist, and be merry.  You can also partake in Selland’s holiday menus and special event catering for your home parties and they also offer takeout, curbside pickup & delivery.
