Outstanding food and service! My first time here! Will be back for sure. I had the Peruvian Tacos with a beautiful Blackberry Margarita.... The staff from the drink shaker , food deliverer, support staff.... AMAZING! read more

I dont see what all the hype is about. I have heard and read incredible stuff about this place. I do feel the service there was good with waiters coming by often and were friendly and knowledgeable. Started off with an old fashioned which is what this place is known for. The drink was fine it tasted like an old fashioned. It was $22 at lunch time the main problem I had was the ice wasn't clear. It was one rock, but when I pay for a craft cocktail I expect clear ice not one with oxygen pockets and impurities. We had the pesto fries, pastrami eggrolls and then the french dip. I feel like they are trying too hard to be different and the taste of these items are not good because of it. The pesto fries were fine. Those were actually delicious. The eggrolls and especially french dip were gross to me. Flavor profiles too much going on and missed the boat for me. read more

We dined here as a group of 8 people. The host was very accomodating and gave us an eta of an hour wait which we were okay with. All 8 of us were here to try the Fried Chicken and see what all the rave was about. Let me tell you, each person had cleaned up their plates. No crumbs left behind! The chicken was super moist and the mashed potatos creamy and just the perfect amount of seasoning. Carrots were soft not mushy cutting into them was like butter. It lived up to the hype of the locals! For dessert we ordered 1 of each of their offerings. -Bacon Fat Brownie 10/10- Super Moist! -Carrot Cake- 10/10- Super Moist, we could taste the cinnamon and spices in the cake, tasted fresh - Strawberry Cornbread- 8/10- Personal preference tasted a bit salty for dessert. -Churro Bread Pudding 1/10- It was a weird texture for us. We can't wait to go back when in town and try the rest of the menu items! read more

My fave local restaurant. Food and drinks are always superb. Ambiance is always light and fun.

The Chef's Table (TCT) can get pricy, but given inflation, the large portions, the high quality food, and great service, it now feels like a good value. I recommend the seasonal Peach Burger and Braised Short Ribs. Most popular dishes include the Fried Chicken and Pesto Fries. The Foodies of Rocklin/Roseville Facebook group also recommends the Pastrami Egg Rolls. Restaurant is also known for its PB & J burger, which is an off-menu item offered year-round. The servers are very professional, courteous, and attentive, checking up on you regularly. I wish TCT would hold a customer service training class!!! I don't like the restaurant's noisy, bustling bar atmosphere, which is a bar-centric, circular floor layout. Restaurant is very popular and has regular customers. Dark wood bar. Tasteful modern rapper art on the balls. On my 3rd visit, I heard rap music playing, which is not my first choice for restaurant music. I've been to TCT 3 times. On my first visit, I felt ripped off because my final receipt showed prices higher than the online menu prices, in-restaurant menu prices, and even verbal price estimates. The braised short ribs were $29 on the online menu and on the printed in-restaurant menu, but I was charged $31. Before ordering dessert (because there is no printed dessert menu), I asked how much it would be. The server took a guess, but price ended up being $2 more on my bill. My fault for not speaking up during that visit, and it kept me away for a long time. On my third visit, the online menu didn't match the in-restaurant menu offerings. Because of this, don't trust the online menu to be accurate. It only gives you a ballpark idea, so be prepared to be surprised by a different menu and possibly different prices when you are at the restaurant. The restaurant changes menus frequently. On my first visit, the braised short ribs were tender and delicious, but the green beans were undercooked. I didn't care for the oyster shooter and the s'mores bread pudding, which everyone seems to love and recommend. On my third visit, the bread pudding and cheesecake sold out, leaving only the brownie! My 2nd visit was short and sweet. I specifically went in to try a burger, which the Foodie group suggested as being one of the best places in town to order one. 100% correct! I was graciously allowed to dine in during the last half hour before closing. I ordered the seasonal peach burger and a beer. The server made a fuss about ordering medium rare over medium. Although I ordered medium rare, it came out medium or medium well! Still super delicious though. Loved the grilled peaches, delectable sauces (basil aioli and balsamic reduction), and stretchy mozzarella cheese! The burger is big and gets messy as you eat it. It is presented with half a dill pickle staked into the burger! Good for pickle lovers like me. 3rd visit was to use my $5 birthday reward. It's nice that TCT has a birthday reward system and emails you coupons to get you to eat there. My plan was to order the pork chop, but I got thrown off course: The in-restaurant menu offered apple brined pork chop with puff pastry and squash, whereas the online menu showed grape brined pork chop with potato croquettes and broccolini. The waiter and a couple of Foodie group members recommended the risotto, which I historically don't like; however, I decided to give risotto another chance while at a good restaurant. The Wild Mushroom Risotto was yummy, creamy, and evenly cooked with fancy mushrooms I've never had before. The waiter recommended the $7 add-on for 3 prawns or $5 chicken add-on. It's a $17 add-on for 3 scallops! The prawns were oversalted to me, so I'd either skip the add-on or choose chicken next time. Risotto portion is huge, more generous than an average restaurant, so I recommend sharing it with someone or taking half home. Caesar's salad is fresh. You can order either a half portion or full portion for $3 more. Server will grind black pepper until you say when. The Chef's Table offers excellent food, so I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Wife and I wanted to try this place out for the very first time yesterday, Saturday. I called ahead of time to make reservations and unfortunately they don't take reservations! So we drove there and there was a 40-45 wait! There were at least 10 couples waiting to be seated. However there were several tables that were empty and the huge bar they had only had 5 people at the bar. When I asked the host if we can sit at the bar while we waited and he replied, "no those have been reserved and you'll have to get on the reservation list" and I was confused because I thought there was no reservations. So we walked out along with others! We went Bennetts restaurant down the street and they sat us down right away! I don't think we will ever The Chefs Table. Any place that is perfectly OK with turning customers away is not something I want to recommend! There are plenty of restaurants in the area! read more

What a gem! Really friendly vibe, local joint great drinks and the food was really good! Will definitely come back again.

The service was neglectful to say the least! They totally forgot my appetizer and never checked on us! Came in at 545 and still waiting for My check(8:07)Never asked about dessert. Burger tasted burnt although ordered medium rare Used to be one of my favorites. No longer! read more

Since the first week they opened years ago.very friendly and welcoming. If pack the Bar is a great place to sit to get the real experience of a well maintained five star restaurant. But, if it's a cozy date, the back tables are great! The food and presentation is always fantastic and appetizing in both appearance and as I mentioned, 5 Stars. The fried chicken is as good as my mother's mother's Fried chicken. Make reservation, it's worth it! I'd like to thank the Chef's Table for being the very best value for every dollar earned and spent. PS, the drinks are also 5-stars. read more

We had our anniversary lunch at The Chef's Table. The food was delicious, loved the environment and the service was perfect. We will definitely come back for dinner next time. read more

Frustrating you can't make reservations but there's always a wait. With a sitter or time crunch it doesn't make it an option

The food was very good and presentation was lovely, the service was great. It seems they have lost that air of sophistication they used to have. There were take out and service items stacked haphazardly on the end of the bar and TVs blaring. While the food is as good as it ever was I felt like I was in a neighborhood sports bar. I am giving it 4 stars for the food and service but keeping back 1 star for atmosphere. read more

Be prepared to wait! Even coming for early dinner it is PACKED. But worth it every time. A staple dish is the Mary's fried chicken. Not pictured are the pesto fries and they're bomb. All their cocktails are delicious, lots of beer on tap, and seasonal dessert options. All the same people always working and so kind. Never disappointed when I leave here. read more

Always the best, atmosphere, staff, food, music, we love everything about this place. It is our regular date night spot, the guys are all extremely friendly and welcoming. Wait is usually long, but completely worth it. Just a heads up: the bar isn't open seating, all seats are wait list only. read more

Very expensive meal. But it's an experience. So come for great food and an experience you can't get anywhere else.

Amazing all around. From the food, to the drinks to the service. We will definitely be coming back!

First off our waiter Johnny was fantastic!!! Everything we ordered was five star. I ordered the pb&j burger and it was the best burger I have ever had, the bun was soft and perfectly toasted, the meat was fresh and perfectly cooked and seasoned. We also had the French dip, it was again on a fresh roll layered with perfectly cooked prime rib with the right amount of blue cheese, onions and horseradish cream, it was the best French dip we have ever had. Let's not forget our appetizer and drinks...the almond hummus stuffed avocado is fantastic and my whiskey sour definitely made me happy!! My husband had iced tea and even the tea was excellent. Everything about this place from the service to the food is top notch. We will gladly be back next time we are in town. read more

5 stars. Was very busy went on a weekday. Staff was friendly. Food was great. Good selection of beer. A must try place. They don't currently do reservations. 5 stars Prime filet mignon. Steak was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Mashed potato's were garlic flavored and tasted good also. Didn't need the gravy. 5 stars prime rib dip. Roll was fresh. Had onions inside. The au jus was good. Entire sandwich was good. 4.5 stars boneless braised short rib. Rib fell apart easily and was full of juice. Sauce was very flavorful. Potato's tasted good. Didn't like the pickled onion salad. It just didn't go very well with the rest of the plate. read more

Love this place! Best staff, best drinks, and best food. Such a fun environment and great ambiance.

First things first, when you come to Chef's Table, come with your patient pants on! I promise you- it's worth the wait! We arrived right at 5pm and joined their wait list. We were not seated until close to 6. We ordered right away and our food didn't arrive until 6:45ish. All of that being said, we sat at the bar, ordered a beer flight and thoroughly enjoyed our time waiting! The bartenders are truly masters - it's fascinating watching them and they're super fun to chat with. When the pesto fries arrived, we couldn't get over their crispy exterior and delicious pesto flavor. Truly a must get if you're getting the burger or any sandwiches. Speaking of the burger - man. What can I say? Fig/bacon jam, Brie cheese, perfectly cooked medium - it is truly spectacular. My husband ordered their French dip sandwich- tangy horseradish, tender meat...everything you want! We ordered their bacon brownie to go - it's a must get but we often don't have room! Great atmosphere, fun and kind staff and absolutely delicious food- what more can you want? read more

Located in the same parking lot as Applebees, Chef's table has ppl running to get on the waitlist while I casually waited in my car ;) The wait was about 30 ish minutes for two ppl the night before Valentine's Day. The front waiting area was bustling with people having a drink or two and warming up their appetite for food was fresh and cooked to perfection. The shrimp thai curry had enough shrimp and the rice was friend to a crispy perfection, which added the perfect amount of texture. The fried chicken was delicious and piping hot. This place had a great vibe and people were really enjoying the drinks and food. read more

Delicious food and friendly employees. We've celebrated several anniversaries there. Highly recommend

Several problems: (1) They don't take reservations and then it took 45 minutes to get a table, (2) It took another 45 minutes to get food after ordering dinner, (3) The food was decent but not worth the 35-40 per entree price. Two stars because the food was not atrocious. For this price range, reasonable seating, quicker service, and better food are in order. read more

Amazing! The Beet Salad is the best! The Prime Rib Sandwich Delicious and the Burger out of this world! A must place to come!!!!

I don't think they take reservations anymore. And yes, of course it's busy on the weekends. This is probably the most popular place in the entire area to have lunch or dinner. Service is exemplary and the food is always spot on. read more

The Chef's Table was a very small, bar focused environment. The staff and service were excellent. Although they did drop the ball on not getting the Diet Coke out quickly to my wife. I got the Paella which was presented differently than a regular saffron rice focused dish. It had a saffron/pea patty which looked like a hash brown smothered in sauce, shrimp (nice sized), artichoke, peppers, chorizo, etc. I was taken back at the presentation initially, took the first bite and ate the whole thing. It was surprisingly very good. My wife got the Filet, baby potatoes, and broccolini. They put pomegranate glaze on the bottom of the plate. For her, the glaze overwhelmed the dish. The broccolini was firm and the sweet potato purée not something she would normally eat (but I liked it). She had the filet cooked medium and it was good. The experience was alright. The place was packed, but that is because it was more Tailored to a drinking night life crowd. I'd go again, but Debbie would not. She is more interested in a more traditional steak house. read more

Incredible dinner, as always. The sole was insanely delicious and the chicken was great! Thanks to Archie and Paul for making everything perfect! read more

The chopped chicken salad is very good with flavors that are throughout the dish. The beef ribs on mashed butternut squash is very good but far short of thirty-nine dollars worth. The service is very good and with a light touch. read more

The 45 minute wait was worth it. Good cocktails helped. The food was great. All six of us enjoyed our meals.

I love beet salad, but this is worst one I have ever been served! I can't even eat it because it has less than one beet and that disgusting arugala! So gross and cost $17! read more

Enjoyed dining at the Chef's Table. The food and service was very good!! The drinks were excellent

Love the vibe, service was excellent, and the food was AMAZING! Cannot wait to come back again!

We dropped by on our way to Tahoe for Labor Day Weekend. Lunch opens at noon and there was a line of regulars waiting outside the door for the staff to come in. Menu is seasonal and changes. Deserts are to die for! read more

the food the drinks and it has a great vibe lots if energy every one is very attentive

The owner was kind of rude in a passive way and the food was bland, on top of it tasting like nothing it lacked creativeness.

We stopped in at 4pm on a Saturday, we're seated pretty quickly at a 4 top in the bar area. Great service, great food, great drinks and cool atmosphere. The drinks were pricey but the service was really on point. We had the pastrami Reuben eggrolls which were phenomenal! Pesto fries were good, hangers steak was a great appetizer, marys fried chicken was yum and the vietnamese short rib was fantastic. My husband had the oyster shooters (4 of them!) and he said they were amazing. This place is highly recommended and we will be back next time we are ever in the area. The servers were all great too! Top notch experience all around. read more

Forgot what good food tasted like until I visited this gem. Nothing but extraordinary. Started with the stuffed avocado (hummus) and siracha with a side of pita because I've never heard of such an appetizer. Then had the Braised boneless beef and mushroom stroganoff melted in your mouth, freshly made in house pasta, no sauces overdone. Tried the TCT bacon fig jam burger, came together really well even though it was packed with flavor and the bread was so soft and perfectly toasted. Husband swallowed his lobster Mac and cheese. At least every other table had the lobster mac so that says a lot. Couldn't make it to dessert but now we know to save room next time. The portions were filling but I still recommend trying an appetizer. The wait for food is average but worth every second. Atmosphere, I just gotta say everyone there is family now. read more

Have been wanting to try this place and looking at the menu and pricing, in my head I was thinking kinda more upscale vibe, so when we walked in, totally not what I was expecting. It's more like a pub environment, quite loud, basic tables and uncomfortable chairs, mine had holes in the seat, so kind of off putting. Staff was very attentive and welcoming. Now for the food, mostly REALLY excellent, so they do have that going for them. Pesto fries, really yummy. I had the broccoli cheddar risotto, well seasoned and prepared! I added shrimp, only 3 added in and sadly, those had pretty much no flavor, very plain. My daughter got the paella, and although nothing like traditional paella (was a block of rice with the seafood and veggies sitting in a broth, very odd), she enjoyed it. My husband's braised short ribs, so tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection! My cocktail was delicious, but wow are they proud of those! Yikes, $17 for a short glass filled mostly with ice. Overall, very nice dinner, but for the price, not sure it will be a place I will visit again. If I'm paying that much, I'd prefer Ruth Chris. I'd say 4 stars for food, but overall 3 with the whole vibe and overpriced menu read more
