Eureka!

We were in the Sacramento/Roseville area for a weekend volleyball tournament. Had to make the drive up with Friday traffic from the bay area with RV in tow and wanted to find a decent place that offered my son some great food, but me too with gluten free/ vegetarian offerings. Eureka came up nearby and looked at the menu and was excited to try. We drove up, it looked really busy outside and thought we'd go over to Lazy Dog that had a half empty patio (as I literally just made a comment wishing there was a Lazy Dog). As we got closer to Lazy Dog, it looked like it was set up for a big party and went back across the street to Eureka. SO SO happy we did! There was actually room at a table outdoors or indoors. We opted for indoors and AC after our 3.5 hour drive in traffic and left to nice outdoor space for someone else. We were happy to be seated right away. For the rare few like myself with chemical sensitivities, sitting indoors was pleasurable. No bleach affecting our space, high ceilings with lots of ventilation left no lingering fragrances from nearby tables and all staff were fragrance free which made for a most enjoyable experience I don't get elsewhere with this disability. My son ordered the BBQ bacon burger with some mac n cheese balls (he wished he had more) and I had the Crispy Veggie Beet burger. He gobbled his food down so fast and said it was so much better than Lazy Dog. I too, was happy with the gluten free bun ($3 extra) that was light with slight crisp and actually tasted good, but oh my, that beet burger with the slight crisp too it has to be my all time favorite veggie burger. It was moist, yet crisp, and flavored so you didn't need condiments if you didn't want them. They didn't have grand marnier so no cadillac margarita, but the spa day margarita was interesting. First sip, no, too much cucumber, but got a straw and then tried it and actually enjoyed it as it wasn't as sweet as most and then ordered another. Service was on par! Luka was great and attentive. He answered all my random gluten free questions as well as others about the restaurant. Appreciated him being attentive and there when needed but not over checking on us. Absolutely perfect service and much appreciated. I hope someday they open one closer to us than Berkeley in the bay area. The tri-valley would LOVE this. It is our new favorite restaurant and will return any chance we get!

Eureka is a great place for drinks. Great craft cocktails (especially the smoked manahattan) and tons of things on tap. Food options are limited but there are gluten free options and vegan options. Great burgers, apps and Cobb salad.
