Front of restaurant
Matthew U.

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.

Focaccia bread board
Tammy P.

We had a birthday to celebrate so we decided to go to Chef's Table. It can be a little busy but we were able to find a spot at the bar. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. We love their cocktails and food. We ordered some drinks and the Bread board, Scallops and the Reuben egg rolls. For dessert we decided on the Bacon Fat Brownie. The best dessert ever! Thanks to the staff as they always make it a fun experience.

Much more neighborly than I anticipated. Great menu with some upper end items Service was wonderful. Food was great.

Oyster shooters!!!
Dan G.

Would give 6 or more stars if I could. The food was spectacular the cocktails were elevated and tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. Recommendations were spot on. There were four of us we each ordered a different meal but shared. Each of us had different favorite entrees. The entrees that were not favorites were still 9 out of 10. I can't remember going to another restaurant where it was hit after hit. Nothing was below excellent. Great experience, will definitely return when I'm back in town!

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.

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!

The peach Burger
EMilio M.

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

Squash risotto with added prawns
annie s.

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.

Pesto Fries ($10) Super crispy!

From the moment you walk in, the space feels intimate, sultry, and effortlessly romantic, with a beautifully executed 1920s speakeasy vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon one of Roseville's best-kept secrets. They require a password to get in of which you can get by following them on Instagram. What really sets House Divided apart, though, is the passion behind it. The couple who owns the place has clearly gone to great lengths to create an exceptional cocktail experience. You can tell they genuinely love their craft, and that attention to detail comes through in both the atmosphere and the drinks. The cocktail menu is thoughtfully curated across a wide range of spirits, with enough creativity and variety to appeal to just about every palate. My wife and I especially enjoy coming here as the seasons change to see what new creations they've introduced, while still being able to fall back on favorites from their regular menu. Their Old Fashioneds are exceptional, and as someone who gravitates toward tequila and mezcal, I'm always impressed by what they do with those spirits. The Cozy Old Fashioned is a personal favorite, but I've yet to have a cocktail here that felt like an afterthought. Everything feels intentional, well-crafted, and true to the personality of the place. If you appreciate intimate cocktail bars, speakeasy culture, and bartenders who truly care about their craft, House Divided is absolutely worth discovering. It has become one of our favorite spots for a romantic drink and a place we genuinely look forward to returning to each season.

The room is small but surprisingly fit two large groups and a few couples. There's a bar plus a few tables and couches. The bartenders are very focused and work hard at their craft. Each cocktail is carefully made to perfection. The list of drinks ranges from light fruity to spirit-forward depending on your taste. We enjoyed: - pomegranate martini: light and fruity, good pomegranate flavor - yuzu lime drop: seasonal for summer only! - the First Lady: strong but smooth; came with a nicely cut ice cube - whiskey sour: classic flavor, executed well The drinks were great but I really wish there was some sort of snack to munch on. Even peanuts or mixed nuts would have been welcome. Adding a small food menu of bar snacks would make me stay longer!
