"Casual, relaxing spot for brunch. Delicious Irish cuisine with a few additional not-so-Irish selections. Would recommended adding a few kid-friendly items to menu or provide a separate kid's menu. Closest item was French Toast w/Nutella which couple kids liked and one didn't. Server was excellent. Overall a very good experience!"

"Such great food and drink. Service was great. Had a table off to the far side and enjoyed a delicious Irish Coffee, Bloody Mary and Crab & Avocado Eggs Benedict to celebrate Mother's Day with my wife and daughter. De Vere's has such great food. We have eaten there before and never disappointed."

"The atmosphere was nice. We brought our 5 year old with us for dinner and I thought the food was just ok. The nacho appetizer was the best thing anyone at the table had. Our waitress, first of all, ignored me when I ordered my beer and then later ignored my mom when she said size small twice and she still brought her a large. I asked for my dressing on the side and they drowned it anyway. I didn't send it back, but I couldn't even eat the whole salad. We most likely wont go again but we had never been before and wanted to check it out. Overall..just ok."

"We chose de Vere's because my wife is an avid whiskey enthusiast and de Vere's boasts over 160 different types of whiskey on hand. We made a reservation a week ahead of time for a party of 11; the day of the reservation they called to re-confirm as well as ask if we needed any special accommodations (this was a nice touch). We arrived early, and through the night they were simply wonderful. Great service, great food, fast to get extra seating for extra guests and more. I strongly recommend visiting this local gem and I look forward to returning."

"We had a lot of fun here. We felt like we had our own concert as we were surrounded by pipers and drums for a few minutes. It was great! Fun place to go. Only complaint I had was that the people at the bar kept wanting to lean on the back of my chair...not cool. Maybe tables and chairs should be a bit further from the bar in the evenings. All in all it is a good place to go."

"Excellent food! My daughter and I both got sandwiches from the menu. Mine was the Reuben and her's the Dip, we were seriously debating whether or not they were the best we have ever had. Between the chips and the crisps, I liked the crisps the best but neither will disappoint. I highly recommend."

"My little sister and I went to see Downtown Sacramento for the first time. De Vere's Irish Pub was a great hang out spot to get some great food and a couple of beers. They do take reservations but call to check. The services was very fast and the environment gave me an authentic feel as if I was in Ireland. My sister had the fish and chips which came out on this large oval plate, piled high. I had the Three B's Burger, a special of the house, the best burger I have ever tasted but messy. The prices are set a little high but the servings are big. My sister and I did not leave hungry and if you leave hungry its your own fault. I am telling everyone about this little gem! If you want a place to relax and enjoy go, De Vere's is the place!"

"I visited for a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and the service. Everyone in our group ordered different entrees, but all were in agreement that the food was great. The waiter provided a perfect amount of attention, so we got our food and drink but were not disturbed during our business conversation. I will definitely return. Make sure you use the valet parking available on 16th, because it is difficult to find a spot during the noon hour."

"Great food. We went with a group of 8 adults and 2 kids (age 3 yrs and 7 mos) when they opened on a Saturday morning. Turns out we didn't even need a reservation - the restaurant was ours for the first hour before anyone else even showed. They had a placemat and crayons for the kids, and the food was absolutely delicious. We even got to hear one of the stories of how a dish was named. A great experience. We will definitely return when we visit Sacramento again."

"The restaurant was clean and we were seated promptly. However, we were a party of 5 and the table that they seated us at had 4 chairs. Hostess said she would be right back with a chair ... and after standing for several minutes with no return of a chair, we appropriated one on our own from a nearby vacant table.
I chose this restaurants because I had seen previous reviews that stated that the food, service, etc were "great" and it was close to the theater. I would say that the food was good ... nothing really stood out as "great". None of us indicated that we would have the same thing again if we returned to de Vere's.
There was live music playing of the Irish genre, which while nice, made for a very noisy retaurant."

"Took some out of towners here for a brunch before a trip to the airport. They are Irish so we thought this would be a fun place to go, plus we had not been there ourselves. And were we right! It was fantastic- nice varied menu, especially for non egg eaters, good drinks for brunch along with the great service and very, very Irish ambience. Just what we were looking for and allowed us to visit and recap the long weekend and never felt rushed to get out of there. Will definitely go back for another visit."

"Great selection of Irish, Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye whiskys. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was good. The wait staff was attentive, and friendly. And it doesn't break the bank, unless you're ordering too many of the rare/aged whiskys (and with the selection they have, who can resist trying something amazing, without having to invest 1/3 of your rent). Would definitely be coming back here."
