Station 16

What Station 16 does

Station 16 is a privately held, single-location upscale seafood restaurant and bar operating at 9625 E Stockton Blvd, Elk Grove, California, founded in 2011 by a firefighter and his partner, Executive Chef Minnie Nguyen. The restaurant focuses on fresh seafood, an oyster bar, and a premium 1855 Black Angus steak program, supplemented by a craft cocktail list, a weekend brunch service, and a structured Happy Hour program designed to drive off-peak traffic. Supporting offerings include a private event and large-party dining service for groups of 8 or more, with tailored packages and family-style prix fixe options.

The underlying technology stack is modest and third-party: table reservations and online ordering for pickup are powered by the Toast Tab platform, with the company website serving as the primary marketing and information surface. There are no proprietary software products, mobile applications, AI/ML systems, patents, or trademarks documented in the available data. Operations rely on standard restaurant infrastructure and a small team of 1–10 employees.

Station 16 generates revenue through dine-in service, à la carte food and beverage sales, online ordering/takeout, and private event bookings. Pricing follows a unit / pay-as-you-go model with menu items ranging from $6 appetizers to $119 porterhouse steaks, cocktails at $16–$24, and a Happy Hour discount overlay. The customer base is composed of local individual diners in Elk Grove and the broader Sacramento metropolitan area, with secondary demand from private event hosts and takeout customers. The business remains founder-owned, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, parent company, or multi-unit expansion plans in the available source material.
