The Sheraton Grand Sacramento threw open its doors again on Thursday, celebrating a grand re-opening with champagne flutes, a refreshed downtown dining room and the return of Merchant25, the hotel's signature farm-to-table restaurant. Good Day Sacramento's Bella Kunde dropped by live to work her way through small plates and cocktails on air and to walk viewers around the newly polished space inside the historic Public Market Building across from the convention center.
In a live segment, Kunde sampled items from the Merchant25 menu and chatted with staff about the restaurant's seasonal approach to sourcing and cooking, according to Good Day Sacramento. The preview cast Merchant25 as a centerpiece of the Sheraton's celebratory reopening, pairing farm-forward plates with sparkling pours and crafted cocktails.
The hotel's official listing describes the Sheraton Grand as "a renovated hotel" and notes that its signature restaurant began accepting reservations earlier this year, according to the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. The same Marriott page lists Merchant25 among the property's on-site dining options and confirms the downtown address at 1230 J St.
What Merchant25 Is Serving
Property listings describe Merchant25 as a farm-to-table spot focused on seasonal entrees, with one hotel listing citing an Alaskan halibut with lobster reduction as an example of the Pacific-leaning menu, according to HotelGrand. For other meal times, the hotel maintains Morgan's for breakfast and the Public Market Bar for more casual fare, per travel listings on Expedia.
How To Visit
The Sheraton's dining page indicates that reservations for the signature restaurant opened in early January, and the hotel recommends checking its site or calling the property for current hours and booking policies, according to the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel. For those who prefer to scope out the vibe first, the Good Day Sacramento clip offers a quick visual tour of the dining room and a peek at several dishes.
Merchant25's return adds another sign of life to Sacramento's downtown dining scene and gives convention-goers and locals a fresh, chef-driven option within sight of the Capitol. With a seasonal focus baked into the concept, menus are expected to shift over time, so diners may want to keep an eye on the hotel's dining page as the reopening settles into a regular service rhythm.
