Dine Downtown @ Octopus Baja
Octopus Baja, 2731 K St., Sacramento, CA, USDine Downtown is an annual Sacramento tradition when you can indulge in curated three-course meals by the top chefs in Sacramento for only $45. Beverages, tax, and tip are not included in that price.
I made a reservation at Octopus Baja because they offer four courses, including several main course options. The menu is available here.
🍷 What to expect:
- We have a reservation for 8 people at 6:00 p.m.
- Because we have a reservation and the restaurant charges a cancellation fee for no-shows, I am asking for the $45 ahead of time. You can pay me via venmo (@suzannebudd, the photo is of me with red hair, last 4 digits are 0075) or message me about other payment methods.
- Everyone will start on the waitlist. Those who have paid will be moved from the waitlist to “going”.
- The $45/person will be applied to the final bill. Bring money to cover your drinks, tax, tip, and any extras you might order off the menu.
🏠 About the venue:
- Octopus Baja is a Mexican seafood restaurant in midtown. It’s part of a larger restaurant group that includes Cosecha and Mayahuel.
- Since it’s in midtown, parking is always an issue. Plan ahead if you are driving.
