Really really liked this place! It's a very small restaurant so you get really cozy with the people around you. We had the pesto fries, shrimp and grits, & pulled pork tacos. All three were delicious. The shrimp was cooked just right on top of a bed of creamy grits. The pulled pork tacos were delicious with lots of lime flavor. Surprisingly light tasting even though pulled pork is usually heavy. I would definitely go back again. Just make reservations because it gets packed fast. read more

I went for lunch and had the Chopped Chicken Salad. Very good. Went a week later with two co-workers and everyone was equally impressed.

Outstanding food served here with an excellent craft beer selection. Many places around have the same standard boring beers but not this place. The menu constantly changes and has a variety of tasty items that are also creative. You really can't find food like this in the area so it is a nice change of pace to the standard restaurants around. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Awesome food, friendly and laid back service, decent atmosphere. We really enjoyed our dinner here and will be back again. The Pesto Tater Tots are so good... Try them. read more

I have been to Chef's Table many times, but their current menu is simply awesome. On a recent visit, all of the following we're full of flavor and fun: Corn off the cob Squash which almost tasted like a sausage pizza Spinach salad Beer-battered pesto fries Peanut butter and jelly bacon cheeseburger (this was an amazing surprise combo that actually works!) Barbecue ribs Chicken tacos For dessert, the special was Krispy Kreme donut bread pudding with a root beer reduction sauce. I left so satisfied and proud of the chefs' creativity. And, of course, the service is always warm and welcoming. This should be a must-try for foodies. read more

This place is fantastic! The menu changes frequently as they use only fresh, local ingredients. The best time to go is dinner and the best place to sit is at the bar. The atmosphere is casual and fun and the chefs and staff are great to socialize with. You won't be disappointed! read more

First off, definitely get reservations. This place is small but unlike previous commenters, I love this fact. It adds to the ambiance and causes the restaurant to not be overwhelming. The menu is constantly changing but some staples like the pesto fries will always be on there. Get the pesto fries and if you're eating a meal, be sure to get the half order...it is a lot of fries. My husband got the fried chicken. We are both from the South so we know fried chicken and we both agreed--TCT serves fried chicken on another level. It was phenomenal. I had the filet mignon and have never had a more perfectly cooked steak. This is the perfect place for a date night and we are already planning future trips back. read more

Had been waiting awhile to go here and finally it worked out. It's small, so tables fill up quick. The food was good, even the salad was pretty delicious. Our favorite was probably the PB&J Burger and the pesto parm fries. The fried green tomatoes were nothing special. read more

A "foodies" delight! Ground filet mingon sliders will definitely call you to come back! Don't let the entrance fool you, step through the front doors and into a food paradise! read more

This place is amazing! Everything on the menu is incredible. My husband's new favorite is the Siracha burger and I love the Sea Bass. You can't go there and not get the pesto fries! So so good! read more

Best place for foodies. They turn out an excellent meal every time. Great staff as well. Comfortable atmosphere.

Definitely need a reservation (we've tried going without one and it's impossible.) I see this as a great sign that people love the food here. We got lucky and had an appetizer in the bar and loved it (duck confit egg rolls) before moving to our table. The food was all amazing and we are told options change based on the season and what's fresh and available. The staff was all awesome. Totally worth planning ahead to have a great meal. Can't wait to go back again. read more

The only reason to go here is for the Peanut Butter Burger. Otherwise this place kind of sucks. Always over crowded, pretentious staff, it takes FOREVER to get a drink at the bar. The food is the only redeeming thing from this place. Don't know why everyone talks about Chefs Table with such high regard. Just goes to show how starved this area is for a good restaurant. read more

The people that own this place are rude!!!! Everytime you call for a reservation they have attitude. In the bar they only serve small plates and wont let you order anything from the regular menu. Food is always spicy!! They think because they are always full, that they can treat people rudely! I see how others have said the same thing! read more

Always a great meal! Great staff, better food! Order everything how it comes the chefs know what they are doing everything is paired perfectly! read more

I have been going there since they opened, I love Chef David, Fred, Joey, the rest of the guys and mostly , the food. I have never had anything off the menu's that I have not liked, I have even done his Valentines brunch and that was fantastic. I am in the hair business and another girl I work with is also a fan and we tell our customers about it all the time. I love the e-mailed menus cause they help when we are refer our customers to them. We tell them all to order the Bacon Brownie sundae...YUM. read more

Don't expect atmosphere at this place. It's really small. Probably only five tables plus a bar which seats a half-dozen more. Also, eating here is about the wine as well. But wait, the food is superb. Last Saturday, my wife and I revisited The Chef's Table and were treated to some more outstanding food. We started by sharing a spinach and beet salad. Beets lined the plate on the bottom, then a generous layer of fresh spinach leaves topped by a lovely goat cheese topping. The beets were home-made and orange in color. The salad was delicious! Then, my wife had dungeness crab cakes while I had Red Snapper fish and chips. The fish was fresh and tender while the fries were some of the best I've had. The food is really good and the service is as well. read more

If The Dude was looking for the best American food in Roseville/Rocklin, he would most definitely approve of this place! We made a reservation 24hrs ahead for a Saturday and got a table at 5pm, the other choice was 8pm. If you're reading this, you have internet, you can make a reservation in 5 minutes. You can chance it and have a seat at the bar with no reservation, but go early. Food prices are a la carte, meaning everything is ordered and charged separately. Our meal was $85 including tip, for an appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 desserts and two beers. It was worth it. We started with the pesto fries. AWESOME!! I had the fried chicken. My fiance had the lamb sirloin. Hands down the best fried chicken we've ever had. Very unique, very flavorful. The lamb sirloin was unlike any lamb I've ever had and we also loved it. Flame grilled and not at all gamey like lamb can sometimes get. It had a tomato salsa that was very very tasty and fresh. Both came with mashed potatoes and veggies, which were great but maybe the mashed potatoes didn't go with the lamb so well. We finished with the bacon chocolate brownie and the lemon pound cake. OMFG it was amazing! My opening statement sums up the atmosphere. Casual, friendly, a bit rough around the edges but soooo ultimately satisfying. This place will become a regular haunt for you, as it will for us. The menu changes, the art changes, even the beer changes. I do not expect we will ever get tired of this place! Why only 4 stars? Cosmetic things only, and they will quickly outgrow their location (1 bathroom, exposed storage). Its the FOOD, that is why you will go, and return again and again! read more

Small cozy place ... great food... Get a reservation though as not a lot of dining space to take the walk-ins...

This is probably the fifth time I've been to the Chef's table. It is usually a great experience, but the line cooks are getting sloppy. The last two times I have been disappointed with the food. The last time I went the fried chicken was cooked perfectly, but the mashed potatoes were bland and waterlogged. The brussel sprouts were also also waterlogged and overcooked (come on chef-why didn't you roast these instead?). Their pork belly was too dry, on the tough side, and absolutely flavorless. The pesto fries were not fried long enough and again lacked flavor. The swiss cheese grated on top didn't melt at all and seems like an afterthought. Why not make a swiss béchamel for dipping or something? The only thing seasoned properly with salt was the fried chicken. Everything else was amateur night and we sorely disappointed again with the food. The experience is always great because of the atmosphere and the waiters, so I guess it makes up for it somewhat. If you're asking why I didn't say something to the waiter, well there are two reasons. First, we were starving. Second, I tried dropping hints (just like I did last time) and they were just not picking' up what I was thrown' down. Total amateur hour at the Chef's Table. Very disappointed.

A hidden little gem, tucked into the Blue Oaks shopping plaza. You gotta hunt to find this place but u will be amply rewarded with delicious food. This is like sitting in your own kitchen and talking with your friends over a glass of wine. Excellent fried chicken! Comfort food at its finest. This is gourmet though, all high end ingredients and attention to detail make this the best restaurant in the area. Check it out ! read more

This is our "go to" date spot. Not only is it within riding/walking distance from our house, but it is one of the most fabulous places for lunch or dinner. Great beer/wine selection and the service is outstanding. Sometimes you might get to chat with the waiters or chef if he's not too busy and the seating at the bar is sometimes our favorite place to eat. Make reservations in advance and you won't be disappointed. I like to think of this place as a little bit of san francisco in Rocklin. Its a hole in the wall, but stands out among all the best food places because it has an ever changing unique menu and I always leave with a happy belly! read more

Nice place if you want to meet with friends and have a good dinner. I like their pesto fries a lot. The BBQ ribs were great.

Delicious food and very nice staff! We went here on a whim and they got us right in and were very friendly. Nice dining experience sitting at the bar. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Everything on the menu is fabulous, and I love that the menu is different every time we go in. The fried chicken is amazing, as well as their filet and fish entrees. They also have an amazing gourmet burger. It's a really small restaurant, and perfect for a date (maybe leave the kids at home for this one) I would just recommend making reservations in advance since they can book up. read more

Everything we have ever tried from The Chef's Table has always been great! The pesto fries and burger are delicious! The fried chicken was also really good. Make sure you make a reservation, as they are always busy and it is small inside. read more

This is a lovely little restaurant that serves delicious food. Perfect date night ambiance!

A Gem. Fantastic food at reasonable prices. After our first visit we were unable to be seated. No reservations available. We made a reservation for the following week. From that day on we have a standing reservation for once a week. read more

Love this place. So incognito, but once you enter its like being in a small quaint upscale dive in Manhattan.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend TCT for a date night or night out with friends.

An absolute gem of a place to grab dinner by yourself with your sweetie or with friends. The food here is top notch. I highly recommend it and you need to get your reservations early. Because the food is so wonderful the place will get packed but the atmosphere is wonderful they did a great job with expanding this location I wish I could go there every week. read more

Best Caesar's salad we have had in a long time! The prime rib beef dip is superb! Anxious to return for the fried chicken.

Hands down my favorite place to eat. Good food, good service and good beer! Love the pbj burger! Always full house when we're there!

This place is great for dinner! You should just remember that it gets busy so you should probably go as early as possible!

The food is amazing. It beats downtown Sacramento gourmet food establishments. We went with some friends who are regulars and have raved about it, but I didn't believe it was more than some fancy burgers and good beer on draft. Reservations were made a couple weeks in advance for the full menu dining area on a Friday evening, since there are so few tables and it's so popular. Anyway, I was amazed at their culinary skill from the warm spinach salad to the flavorful pork tenderloin (as well as really good pumpkin ravioli and sliders according to others at our table). The staff was attentive and personable. Why drive anywhere else, when I can get better right here in Rocklin? read more

Great service, value and food quality makes this a must go place! Beer and wine selections best in the area!

How do I start: I was forced to grab a drink here because my wife started a studio salon in the center. Walked in for a much earned drink while the wife organized the items I was forced to move into the salon. Move this here, that there..You get it. I NEEDED A DRINK. They had so many great beers, I couldn't decide on 1. Looked at the wall of Spirits. They had some good bourbon(not great, yet)! 3 weeks later they added 5 bottles of great bourbon, and let me help add more over the next 9+months. Rewind a little, after 6 months of daily happy hour visits I decided to meet a friend for Lunch. WOW, was I slapped in the face: with flavor! Mikey makes the best food I've ever had! Lunch, dinner, I bet he could make a horse taste like chicken. I prefer to eat and drink(and drink, and drink) here over any place in the Sac Valley. It was my second home. I moved away last month and cannot find a replacement. I've determined that's because there is only 1 TCT! read more

The best restaurant in Rocklin and Roseville hands down. Order fried chicken the first visit, and something different every other visit.

Second time here and again was AMAZING. love sitting at the counter and interacting with the chefs and watching them cook. Servers and chefs were awesome. We always ask ourselves when we leave why we don't come back more often. This place is a must read more

100% coming back. we loved the service and the food! impressive tap list, good spirits and a nice wine selection. but make reservations! read more
