Really great place to eat. My mother wanted to try some new restaurants and we ended up going to this ever so great spot to eat. The food that I picked is absolutely really great when we went read more

The dining area ain't fancy. The servers are nice, thorough, friendly but not polished. The prices are fair. The food is REALLY GOOD. Bold flavors, expert preparation, pretty on the plate and generous portions. Bambie had the 1/2 chicken fried southern style. Crispy ouside, soft and moist inside. Side of mash potatoes, side of perfectly sauteed carrot slices. I had a cesar salad. Fresh, crisp, again a big portion. The dressing was a perfect balance of creamy, piquant and a tad peppery. The croutons were crisp and flavorful. Best Ceasar salad that I've had in years. My main dish was the pork carnitas tacos. Topped with heaping mounds of shredded cabbage. Creamy sauce on the cabbage. A side of mild-ish chipotle salsa served on the side to pour on the carnitas. The tacos were so big that they were almost too unwieldly to hold. But I persevered and gobbled them like there is no tomorrow. Satisfying. A big hungry guy will be perfectly happy after polishing off the plate. Wine selection is small but has the usual good suspects in the reasonable price range. Mostly California wines. I live 2 miles from this place. Tonight was my first visit. Oh yeah I'll be a frequent return customer. Highly recommended. read more

WOW- what a wonderful place! My wife and I decided to try it out. They had good reviews. We now know why. The first person we met was Franklin. We had no reservation and ask the tables were full. He said we could sit at the bar immediately, so we took him up on it. I asked about an old fashion and he said it was his favorite and a specialty of the place. He was right! Next we met Brett, the mixologist. My wife got a vodka cranberry and I got my old fashioned. I asked about the whiskey and he said it was Whistlepig 10 year. Next we asked Franklin about special dishes and he suggested the southern fried Mary's chicken with bacon gravy , which my wife ordered. I ordered the bacon fig jam burger with Brie cheese. Of course we had to have the pesto fries! Everything was 5 stars! We also met Q and Graham . Every single person we met was very friendly and welcoming. We also met Nate. He was at the bar and a regular here. Very nice as well. My wife and I both agree this will babe one of our favorite, go to places. read more

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.

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 read more

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 read more

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) read more

Too notch food and service in a chill environment. Creative dishes that are executed well with a great beverage-pairing menu.

Whenever we are looking for a tasty meal and a good cocktail we go to The Chef's Table. It can be a busy place but the staff are very friendly and you can order a drink while you are waiting for a table (if you have to wait). We like to order the shareables because there are so many good options to choose from. If you have any questions they are always helpful. The staff at the bar make amazing drinks and the food comes out pretty quickly. read more

Love this place! The vibe of a neighborhood joint with the menu and quality to rival any foodie destination. Go early and often as the place fills fast and the menu changes frequently. I had a vodka cocktail conceived and concocted that day with puréed berries and spices called "Christmas Deja Vu." We shared a mushroom tart and stuffed avocado to start and followed with scrumptious stroganoff--meat so tender you could cut it with a spoon! I really wish it wasn't off of Hwy 65, but it was worth it! read more

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. read more

Came here for an early dinner, but they changed their menu so there is a very limited menu for "happy hour" up until 4:30pm. I love the idea, but just wish there were a few more options. We got one of everything and the pesto fries stole the show!!! Drinks are $2 off during happy hour. read more

While in the area, someone told me that this restaurant has great food and a menu Du jour. The ambience is intimate and unassuming. Our server explained the beer and cocktail menu right away. I tried their Farmers Light Beer, my wife had the Hawaiian Mule cocktail which she mentioned was refreshing. For our entrees, I had the Braised beef short rib Argentinian style. So tender and flavorful, dressed with a really good chimichurri sauce. The green beans and sweet polenta were also a perfect pairing. My wife had the Alaskan Halibut which she mentioned was flaky, pan seared accompanied by a cauliflower puree. We were satisfied with the meal portions. The servers were wonderful and attentive; they all took turns in checking on us. I would definitely return next time I'm in the area read more

Rude! Walk in. Two seats at the bar. Me: "Is the bar open seating?" Guy "I'm sitting people there" Me: "Once you sit people there, is the bar open sitting?" Guy: "There is no open seating here" Me: "That is what I was asking! BYEEEEE" read more

Chef's Table is the go-to spot for date night for me and the wife. The food is really quite good but the environment is about as relaxed and fun as you can get. Truly a sports bar vibe. Highly recommend this place. The service is funny but friendly and professional. One tip - no reservations so get there early and be prepared to wait on a Friday or Saturday night. Trust me when I say - it's worth it. read more

I work in the area 3-5 times a year and we hit this spot once every time we are in town. Food is amazing and the bar is fantastic. That being said, it is becoming harder and harder to recommend. The people are nice, but there seems to be a locals slant to the service. I don't slight them for taking care of the regulars, but the last two times we have gone, the wait after we ordered has been 45 min to an hour. On top of the 20-30 min to be seated (have no problem with that), you can be pushing 90 min before you eat. It has been obvious both times that our table was not the priority, as a number of people at the bar and tables sat after us and were served before us. The first time we felt it was a fluke, after many great experiences prior. The second time it seemed calculated. No acknowledgement of the wait while tables around us that sat after us were served their food. We want to come back because even after the wait the food was tremendous, but the kitchen back up and service times are getting to be extreme. read more

I have been wanting to come here since I moved to the area 8 years ago . Everyone talks about this place some people love it some people say it's okay . I came in expecting the most . We tried to come previous times, but there is always a wait. So fast-forward it was a Saturday night and I said I really want to try this place out no matter how long the wait is so, We waited an hour on a Saturday night. Walking into this restaurant is very small inside. Seems like there is two sides there is a big bar in the middle that divides the room. Each side has a few tables to seat for dinner and then there is bar seating as well. Everyone was super nice and attentive. The food all comes a la carte. There is no kids menu so we ordered my son a burger a plain burger which comes with no sides so that burger alone was $21 dollars not including my son's drink, which I know is 3 to 4 dollars. We ordered the pastrami, reuben eggrolls so delicious! I highly recommend them . We also ordered the Short Rib it was very good. I just felt like the pieces were not cut up so they were just on top of the pasta . We ordered a red velvet dessert that was really delicious. For our drinks, we got an old-fashioned that I know the liquor was a little bit better so it was $22 I got a "Tank Tini " for $18 . At the end of our dinner we all smelled a strong scent of marijuana in the room really strong . I could see the people at the bar and they were looking at us telling us it wasn't them . It was just a little awkward moment where everybody could smell it, but nobody knew where it was coming from. My honest opinion this place is overpriced for what you get . What I mean what you get is the ambience.. It feels more like a bar. You could definitely go to a different place. That is really nice with a nice ambience for the same price for the food and they might even have sides to them. The ambience doesn't match the price tag. read more

Been wanting to go to this place for awhile now and finally was able to try it! It is in a busy shopping center in Rocklin. When you walk in it looks very basic, nothing fancy. A bar and some tables. I ended up getting the peach bacon burger and a peach cocktail. Cocktail was very good but a little pricey. The burger and pickle was extremely flavorful. The peach added a perfect sweet and savory, bacon was crisp yet tender. Everything is a la carte. My friend got the risotto which she liked. I do think it's kinda pricey for a la carte, but they seem to use fresh, seasonal ingredients. The good and service was overall good. read more

Moved to Sac from the Bay and it's been tough trying to find restaurants that make me say WOW!!! How unique or I'll be coming back.. etc. etc. 11/21/24. Yayyy!!! Hubby's Birthday!!! No reservations and you can join the waitlist on arrival only. I don't usually wait, but we had already drove out 40 minutes in the rain and I had to do it for his birthday. I could already tell it's packed by just walking towards the door. Nice guy told us the wait for 2 was gona be 30-40 minutes, but only waited for 20. Nice! Our waiter was cool and friendly! Did my research before coming so, we were ready to order. //APPETIZERS: 4/5 stars. Pastrami Reuben Egg Rolls $16+ Shaved pastrami, swiss cheese, caraway, sauerkraut, whole grain mustard, with russian dressing. - Love the crispy-ness! I like the meaty taste, so I wished I tasted more pastrami. Slightly sour because of the sauerkraut. Maybe I'm so used to/enjoy filipino eggrolls that I wasn't into this egg roll as I would like to be. The russian dressing was, also, on the slight sour side. Wished the sauce was sweet since the egg rolls were already slightly sour. Still pretty delicious! The cheese and crispy-ness made up for it. 5/5 stars. Pan Seared Scallops $26+ Parsnip puree, green apple gravy, cranberry sauce, toasted pecans, and micro intensity green. - Yummmmmmmm buttery scallops and I can tell they put so much work on the sides. DELICIOUS! 4/5 stars. Oyster Shooter $6+ each Pacific oyster, house made ponzu, sake, siracha, micro cilantro, and piece of lemon on the side of the cup. - Ordered 2. One with sake and the other without cause I am preggo lol. Not suppose to be eating oysters, but haven't had one in sooo looong, so I risked it for the biscuit lol. Clean and buttery oyster. Delish light house made ponzu. Wished it had more cilantro and does not need lemon because ponzu was good enough. They made it into a small cocktail-like drink to sip on which was awesome! Better than any other oyster shooter I've had in a long time. //ENTREES: 5/5 stars. PB&J Burger $21+ TCT Bacon Jam Fig Burger. Rib brisket chuck blend ground beef, bacon, fig jam, brie, arugula, mustard aioli. - Peanut butter and jelly... WHAAAAAAAAT?! WOW! Amazing. Who would have thought a peanut butter and jelly burger would be a hit?! We wanted some thing different for a change and this was the star of the show. No arugula. No big deal. Just being detailed. Juicy beef, crispy bread, semi-crispy thick cut bacon, and not-so-sour thick, juicy pickle LALALALOOOVE IT!!! Every thing combined just worked out to perfection! 4/5 stars. Braised Beef Short Rib $39+ Beef short rib, red wine jus, butternut squash, and white polenta sauteed bloomsdale spinach, sorrel gremulata, vela dry jack. - Loved how the meat was super tender!!! Flavorful beefy taste and just melts in your mouth. Butternut squash sauce could use a gravy-like flavor to cut out a little bit of the fat from the beef and add more flavor over the white polenta. Would love to have more greens. Still DELICIOUS! 3/5. Caribbean Braised Pork Shank $38+ Toasted basmati rice with mango and coconut, caribbean veloute, chayote mignonette. - Flavorful! Star of the show was the rice and the non-existent sauce. The pork shank was chewy and kinda dry. It should have been fall off the bone, juicy, and tender. The whole entire entree should have been smothered with that yummy sauce. It was alright! Would order again if they make adjustments. //DESSERTS: They had 2 desserts to choose from. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, so I wasn't sure if it was on there. Asked our waiter and he said 1) Brownie with caramel glaze and vanilla ice cream. 2) Pumpkin with some sort of custard. Birthday boy picked the brownie with ice cream and OH BOYYY!!! Delicious! Brownie has melted filling and outer crispy shell and the ice cream on top with a caramel glaze was soooooooo gooooooood! It was a PHENOMENAL experience! Would love to come back for drinks (when not preggo) and just endless orders of scallops and oyster shooters. Shout out to the whole staff here!!! woOhOo!!! Even though the 3 entrees took an hour to come out, they came to us to let us know. They talked to us for a bit to welcome us and thanked us for our support. Grateful for our waiter who helped me sing happy birthday to my hubby =) I LOVE THE VIBE HERE!!! ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC THEY PLAYED AND HOW SUPPORTIVE THE STAFF WAS TOWARDS EACH OTHER AND TO US!!! Team work definitely makes the dream work. HAPPY EAT'S YA'LL!!! read more

Great food and service. Will definitely go back again. It was my husband's birthday & they sang to him

The food has gone downhill. The chicken was dry and the wait for both a table and to receive the food was crazy. Portions seem to have shrunk as well. There was a table close by that was clearly being over-served drinks and was very loud. No one in our party was particularly happy with their dishes. We even skipped dessert. read more

top tier food and service! we found this place on a whim while staying at a hotel across the street for a concert. their burgers are fire, their hospitality is excellent, and their service is top tier. i realized one of our fries orders hadn't come out yet, so i asked about it. the waiter came back out saying they'd comp it for free because they hadn't put the order in. we were shocked that they took the initiative to do that on their own without us even complaining about the wait. we will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to eat surrounded by great service who truly treats their customers equally with friendliness, patience, and respect. thank you, chefs table, for an awesome experience. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday and it was fairly busy. The interior of this place is a confusing train wreck. The kitchen and the bar are located in the center of what looks like two spaces that have been combined. This layout creates limited table seating on both sides and at counters facing the kitchen and the bar. Boxes of food, paper products and kitchen supplies are stored under the bar and in racks on both sides visible to customers. Although the place seems clean, the hodgepodge placement of supplies makes you feel like your sitting in a supply/store room. Service was excellent and friendly. The list of beers on tap was abundant as well as wines and a full service bar offering craft cocktails. The menu is an eclectic mix of pub/bar food and dishes you would expect to find in an upscale fine dining establishment. The food presentation and flavors were surprisingly good, but over the top. For example, a peanut butter and jelly, bacon, cheese burger, that is smothered in melted peanut butter and beer battered fries covered with pesto and Swiss cheese. Put your cardiologist on speed dial. It was a unique experience, but not for everyone. read more

A standout experience from start to finish! We dined at Chef's Table and were absolutely blown away--not just by the food, but by the service, the drinks, and the whole experience. Our servers, Archie and Brahm, were phenomenal. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pushy, and genuinely warm throughout the evening. They made us feel welcome and taken care of in every way. We started with the Pesto Fries, which were unreal--crispy, cheesy, and packed with fresh basil flavor. Total must-order. For entrees, we had the Pan Seared Scallops and the T.C.T. Peach Burger. The scallops were perfectly cooked with a beautiful sear, served over rich fried smash potatoes and a smoky cherry tomato beurre blanc that we could've eaten by the spoonful. The peach burger was such a fun surprise--grilled Twin Peaks peaches, applewood smoked bacon, and balsamic glaze gave it a sweet-savory balance that worked incredibly well. It's not your average burger, and that's a good thing. As for drinks, we tried two of the cocktails and loved both. The Whistle Pig Old Fashioned was strong and smooth with just the right citrusy twist, and the Blackberry Jalapeño Margarita had the perfect balance of heat and sweetness--refreshing with a subtle kick. Chef's Table nails every detail, and Archie and Brahm really took the whole evening to the next level. We'll absolutely be back--and we're bringing friends. Highly recommend! read more

Ok...let's get straight to the point, get the "secret menu" item PB&J Burger. It may sound...weird...but don't worry, it'll be the best meal you've had all week.
