    Scallops
    Marna H.

    Service was outstanding, everything tasted great, biggest issue was my sons burger....he ordered it medium well, it still had pink inside....well we get home and an hour or so later his stomach hurts. Then throws up the burger, had more pains for a bit, woke up fine no other symptoms just the solo throw up which leads me to understand it was the brisket ground beef combo. Typically brisket must be cooked to well done as it's a tougher meat which requires longer cooking time. I work in the food service industry so I do know proper food safety and handling, using food right away and cooking to proper temp is crucial.

    $48 of disappointment

    This place feels more like a bar than an upscale restaurant. The food may look elevated, but the quality of the steak was pretty mediocre. They were busy, so I placed my order as soon as possible and ordered only one dish. Even so, it took about 35 minutes to arrive, and unfortunately, it wasn't worth the wait. There was no bread, soup, or anything else offered while I waited or served alongside the meal, so I was starving by the time it arrived. The $48 filet mignon didn't taste particularly fresh or high-quality, and the broccolini was so charred that it had an unpleasant, almost cigarette-like flavor. The potatoes and mushrooms were the only enjoyable parts of the dish. I was still hungry, but I couldn't bring myself to finish the meal. I ended up going to Texas Roadhouse afterward, which was much better. For a $48 steak, the experience was extremely disappointing.

    Really good food. Wish there was some nicer tables, but the kindness and food made up for it. I took a picture of recent menu. There is no dessert menu, but they offered three desserts.

    Stroganoff short rib
    Kristal O.

    Can I get an espresso martini! also the spicy blackberry margarita was bomb. We had a special stroganoff short rib dish so not sure how long they'll have it. Melt in your mouth dish. Small quaint spot, super cozy! Highly recommend. Everyone was incredibly nice and knowledgeable!

    Wow! Fine dining at a sports bar style restaurant?! Who would've guessed LOCATION & DECOR: Nearly at the corner of lone tree and Blue oaks boulevard just down the way from the 65. Hot dog style sports bar with a menu fit for a fine dining experience. Close-ish to the galleria FOOD & DRINK: -Scallops Appetizer -Short Braised Rib -Peach Burger PRICE: $$ SWAG/AMENITIES: -Table Service -TV's -no reservation needed STAFF & EXPERIENCE: Nicholas the server was so incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke about the food as though he was the chef himself! This place is unsuspecting. Welcome to the sports bar with ratings that seemed to exceed its appearance on first glance. The place is clean and a bit noisy. it's just a different vibe than was expecting, but that food was cooked to perfection. And the service was top-notch

    Gnocchi
    Jan C.

    Went at 6 ish on a Saturday and knew we'd have a wait. They told us 45 minutes to an hour and sent us a confirmation text that allowed us to track our progress on the list. We ordered drinks, sat and had conversation while we waited. It was warm and cozy inside and the weather outside really was frightful so we weren't looking to leave. If we had come at 7, the wait would have been much shorter. Once seated at our favorite place, watching the chefs cook, we got an order of the amazing pesto fries...yum! And finally dinner, a pork chop and mushroom gnocchi. Another great experience at Chef's Table. We'll be back

    Front of restaurant

    I recently selected this restaurant as a random pick from Google Maps, curious to see if it would pass muster. Upon entering, the initial impressions were a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the establishment is notably clean, and the staff greets you with good service right from the start. However, the physical environment leaves something to be desired. A closer look around the dining room reveals that some of the furniture is actively showing its wear and tear, detracting from the overall ambiance. Compounding this issue is the volume level; the music is kept on the louder side, meaning your conversations may be frequently interrupted due to the competing noise of the sound system and fellow diners. The true test of any restaurant, however, lies in the kitchen, and today I opted for the Korean-style braised beef short ribs. Unfortunately, the execution on this centerpiece dish fell entirely short. The meat itself was significantly tougher than what you expect from typical, slow-braised short ribs, lacking that signature tender texture. To make matters worse, the flavor profile was incredibly bland, missing the deep, savory, and sweet seasonings essential to this classic dish. Instead of robust flavor, the plate was overloaded with an excessive mountain of microgreens. I am certainly not here for rabbit food, and the heavy-handed garnish could not mask the lack of proper seasoning underneath. Hoping to salvage the meal, I added their banana brûlée dessert to my order. This sweet addition partially made up for the short rib faux pas. It was remarkably tasty and fresh, offering a beautifully executed finish that proved the kitchen is absolutely capable of better work when they put their minds to it. The bottom line is that while the service is attentive, the space is clean, and the dessert was a genuine highlight, you ultimately go to a restaurant for a cohesive dining experience. Based upon today's experience, the kitchen's execution on the mains simply wasn't there, and the loud atmosphere makes it hard to relax. Perhaps there are better dishes hiding on the menu as evidenced by the stellar dessert but I still cannot fully recommend visiting this establishment based on the flaws of the primary meal.

    Pesto Fries ($10) Super crispy!
    Clarissa C.

    Solid 4.5 stars -- locally popular smaller-sized restaurant/bar with date-night-esque comfort food but a uniquely casual and homey feel from all the staff! No reservations, so be prepared to wait in peak hours, either by putting your name down and coming back, or grabbing a drink and watching some sports on their large TVs. Came in strolling in as comfortable and casual as we normally do and fit right in. I found this spot on my phone when traversing around the holiday madness at the Roseville Galleria, loved all the things the prev menus had to offer. Fiance and I got here around 7pm on a Saturday night and it was super packed inside with people with drinks waiting to be seated! Franklin, the Spirits Master took our names down. He told us it would be a 45min-1hr wait ... to which we strongly considered going elsewhere. But he actually persuaded us to stay (hung out at the boba spot across the st) by saying the food was worth it--honestly (spoiler alert) it quite was. Got seated a little past an hour at a prime bar seat in front of the chefs cooking and Franklin attentively got us pesto fries on the house and our drinks right away for braving out the wait. All the staff around continually checked in on us and stopped to chat (but not in an annoying way), which is how I know some of their names! Multiple beers on tap and lots of interesting cocktails. Menu --- According to Brahm, changes quite frequently ~1-3mo depending on seasonality and vibe though the structure of types of proteins/starches offered stay similar (e.g. one fish dish, one pasta/starch, etc). Some signature items stay on permanently, which we were recommended for our first time: - Pesto Fries ($10, on the house for the wait): Really crispy thin-cut french fries covered in a soft confetti of swiss cheese and light pesto--really good esp if you are looking for something to hold you over before the main meal. It's like the best features of garlic fries at the ballpark but crispier and pesto. - Beef Short Rib ($20 side, added to Ricotta Gnocchi pasta at $36): Super rich and filling! Tender and flavorful fatty short rib with pillowy gnocchi covered in a cream sauce, side of mushrooms and diced zucchini. I finished it ALL. - Southern Mary's Fried Chicken ($28): A staple that never gets taken off the menu, brined in a 2-3d process and smothered in bacon white gravy, served with perfectly cooked carrots as well as mashed potatoes. My fiance really loved this one Drinks: - Hawaiian Mule ($16): I really liked this one esp because im a big fan of mules--this one was more refreshing and sweeter with pineapple juice and mint! - Apple Whiskey Smash: My fiance got this seasonal one on the board--tastes like a yummy apple cider cocktail ... he really likes his apple juice. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here if you are prepared for the wait. Both of us loved all the upscale comfort food and cocktails on the menu; it's rare to get such homey and attentive service from restaurants from all the staff. (Bonus points now that im lurking around their restaurant website, all the staff have really funny website bios lol)

    Blood orange mule so good!
    Siobhan J.

    Food was amazing from start to finish! The pesto frys the Ruben egg rolls OMG the Bread pudding was so good I didn't get a picture. The service was perfect attentive without being annoying. Couldn't have asked for a better spot for my birthday dinner!

    Leonard L.

    Came for an early dinner on the weekend with the family. All the wait staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant started filling up quickly shortly after we were seated. Table seating is limited and surrounds a double sided bar. Ordered the: Pesto fries - thin fries, pesto, basil and cheese, what's not to like! Beet Salad - fresh, sliced thin and plated with arugula. wife enjoyed the flavor. Kids grilled cheese - kiddo was a big fan of the bread Mary's fried chicken - Short Ribs - was a take on Korean flavors with the sauce. Pickled veggies and mashed potatoes went well with the short rib. Shishito peppers were a nice punch. Filet Mignon - cooked exactly as ordered. this one had a peach mustrada my wife really enjoyed. Squash Risotto - Mother really enjoyed the flavor of this dish. Everything was cooked extremely well. A solid choice for the area.

    Ask the Community - The Chef's Table

    What oils do you use for your sauces and frying?

    For the fryer? Soybean… Sauté? canola/extra virgin olive oil Finishing? Barianni extra Virgin Olive… 

    Is there gluten free menu items?

    I did not see any items marked as GF on the menu. I think it would be best to ask the server. They are very nice. I was told that their menu changes weekly, due to seasonal ingredients.

    Are there a few gluten free options reliably available as the menu rotates?

    Indeed, always, but we bake and make pasta where we cook, and while we can well, we can’t promise no cross contamination in regards to flour if you have other questions feel free to reach out, Erick, 9167166072

    Do they take Togo orders?

    Yes

    Are the oyster shooters can oyster?

    Everything here is fresh.

    Are there kid options? Like plain burger and fries or something plain?

    I don't believe there are kid options and I do know they have a set menu that you might want to check on their website... The food and customer service is outstanding it's a must if you haven't been there before!

    Do they still have happy hour? If yes, what time?

    Call (916) 771-5656

    Does anyone know if they are open for Dine-in eating?

    In door seating is not allowed in placer county. However, they bought a huge tent and are doing outdoor seating to follow all of the placer county guidelines! It's awesome!!!! They are currently not taking reservations and are first come first… 

    What is on the regular dessert menu? Thanks.

    The only regular dessert menu item we have is our bacon brownie sundae. We always have some kind of bread pudding but that is always changing and then the third dessert item is always changing as well! Thank you for the question!

    Is the website menu updated daily?

    Menu is different all the time..makes it fun and exciting when you never know what they will be serving:)

    I see that dinner reservations are hard to get. What are the chances of snagging a table on a weeknight as a walk-in. Do you do 100% reservation, or are there some tables reserved for walk-ins?

    The best thing to do always is if you don’t see anything online give us a call at 916-771-5656, thanks!

    Do they have any vegetarian options?

    We always have at least one vegetarian option, but can accommodate any dietary restrictions, thanks!

    I was there Saturday and had an amazing Sauvignon Blanc...I can't remember for the life of me what it is called. It was "something" Venus....does anyone know?

    Was it Chasing Venus?

    How much is corkage fee?

    $15, thanks!

    Can you order from the dinner menu during lunch?

    Unfortunately no, just the lunch menu!

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes of course kids are allowed! We do not have a children’s menu but can accommodate children. Thank you for the question!

    Is there a Happy Hour menu?

    All beers are $2 off during happy hour.

    Are there gluten free options for people with Celiac Disease?

    Like Dawn W said, our restaurant is very small, we bake and prep in the same area as where we plate your food etc, and while we sanitize and clean as we go, I cant guarantee no cross contamination... There are lot of ways to augment menu items to… 

    What's on the happy hour menu?

    The whole idea of Tap Houses really does appeal to me…read more I love being able to just grab a glass and seeing all the beers on the wall and picking what I want and how much I want. The people who run Waymaker Brewing in Roseville are doing this at the highest level. I've been to this location a few times for different events and every time a wonderful time was had. So as far as the beers go they have around 40 different beers on tap and also they have 10 wines on tap as well. So exactly how it works is this- When you walk in you give them a credit/debit card-then they give you a wristband-next you grab a glass and go pick your beer or wine and you get charged by the ounce you actually pour rather than by the glass size. Then at the end of the visit, you turn in your wristbands and you get charged whatever it is you poured in total for the visit-I love the entire concept. It's a great way to be able to try many types of beer instead of just a few big beers. Now let's talk about the elephant in the room for Waymaker. The thing that makes this place unique is they have 6 golf simulators a person can rent depending on day and time anywhere from $35-$60 an hour and up to 6 people can play on the simulator at one time. On these simulators there are more than 200 virtual courses available. It's a crazy amount of fun for golfers of all skill levels There is also a hand roll sushi bar inside called Fire Fish where one can order sushi-hand rolls-flatbreads or various small plates. It really is an amazing place. They also have a massive big screen in the back that is furnished with comfortable couches and chairs in case one wants to just hangout and watch whatever live sporting event is happening that visit. Let's see my last few visits I've gone with my son and we played a round of golf at Pebble Beach on the simulator. I've gone to a birthday party for my boss and we had 2 simulators rented and we ate sushi rolls and flatbread while drinking a lot of beer. I've gone to do after work drinks with a friend while watching NBA playoff basketball. Visits to Waymaker can be so many things but I can say for sure every visit will be fun. So if you find yourself out in Roseville and want to try something a little different-head on out to Waymaker Brewing, it really is a great time. PS. Parking is a breeze as they share a big lot with lots of spaces with other businesses.

Me and my husband are novice golfers and thought it'd be fun for practice and with our family (took our 7yo and MIL). Pros: Very cool concept. Loved that we could practice our swings, use different clubs, and be able to see all of our specs. Loved the idea that they had sushi cause it's our kids favorite. And loved that they had not just beers, but a good variety of seltzers, ciders and even wine on tap! Cons: VERY limited food menu. What they had listed on their website was NOT what they had available for purchase. There were only maybe 10 food items to choose from, and very high priced for what it was. A couple of hand rolls (1 each for $8-$10), Poke Nachos (on tortilla chips - big no no! - use wonton chips!) for $20 (price ok since you got a few small pieces of fish per chip, but they skimped by using tortilla chips, on both price and flavor! And they had 3-4 sushi rolls. Their "special" roll being $20 alone. There wasn't really anything special about it. Definitely not worth $20!! The fish tasted fresh, but so does the local sushi place down the street with massive rolls, full of fish, for $16-18/roll. So don't expect much from the food. I went to ask the guy at the front of if it was user error on the mobile app... he said that they run out of food and when that happens, they just take it off the menu. LAME! Put a disclaimer on your website! Additionally, the guy at the front desk (upon check in) - unhelpful! He asked us if it was our first time, which it was. He set us up and told us if we had questions to just come ask. We did, and each time he seemed like it was more of an annoyance that we were taking him away from his phone time (that he was on every time I went to ask a question). And instead of explaining to us how things work, and how to maneuver through the screens and set things up, he just did what we asked/needed without showing us so we could never fix it or do it ourselves. We figured some things out on our own, but if you have newbies, it would be worth showing them how to use the system so it doesn't take a ton of our paid for time (at $50/hour) to figure things out. Such a waste and makes the cost to worth ratio deteriorate very quickly. So overall, would we go back. Maybe. Definitely not with our kid (which makes it more rare that we'd return). I like to give everything a second try. But for the cost, it would take some convincing and a MUCH better second experience for me to ever go back or recommend this place to friends.
