“Longtime Folsom favorite Back Bistro recently made the leap from its cozy, neighborhood location to the glitz and glamour of a 4,500-square-foot destination at the Palladio. Featuring an impressive craft cocktail bar that commands attention as soon as you enter, the restaurant also serves up the same quality fare that made loyal fans of its original customers—with a few new dishes and a boutique wine selection to boot.”
