Made online reservations 2 months ago for my husband's birthday, we called four nights ago to adjust our request and asked for a low top table not in the hall. No problem was the response. We get there, in the hall. We said no thank you we'll wait. After waiting 30 minutes the only table available, in the hall. Very dissatisfied with tonight's service and accommodations as I have a broken leg and can't just sit anywhere, we have been going here for years for special occasions and just a great happy hour. Not so happy tonight. read more

I LOVE Chef's table!!! So thankful they are still open, I will always show support! Specifically what spoke to me was when my husband lost a blue brother in the line of duty awhile back and they took such great care of him and his blue brothers that were with him. I am forever grateful to have such an amazing staff take a step further and notice when someone is feeling down and actually talk to them and help the best they can. Thank you, they need more support like y'all. read more

My husband and I went to TCT for our anniversary. The service was second to none and the food was AMAZING! We ordered the pesto fries, sliders, and fried chicken. I recommend all of it but the sliders were my favorite. We will definitely be going back. Love the atmosphere! read more

I'm new to the area and I've been wanting to check this place out for quite some time, man man I glad that I did!! I met Scot one of the staff members and after hearing his description of what they do and the ingredients they use I just had to try it out. Holy smokes I'm hooked now!! The beef short ribs and garlic mashed potato's with gravy were amazing, so tender and flavorful! I haven't been able to stop thinking about it all day!! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Also got a Caesar salad and the dressing and obviously homemade croutons were to die for! I cannot wait to eat everything on their menu!! Add in that everyone I spoke with and encountered were so fun and polite and accommodating! This place is a homer run! If i could give them 10 stars instead of 5 I'd probably give them 11!! Keep it up folks!! read more

Nothing about this place strikes as ordinary. This place has a great ambiance with a menu that changes everyday. I came here for dinner, but the food was so good I had to come in again for lunch. I started with an old fashioned with a Chilean sea bass with polenta and bacon bits. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and polenta added to the rich flavors of the sea bass. I ended the night with a sundae over bacon brownie. The texture and the taste of the brownie was well balances by the sweet taste of the sundae. This was probably the best desert I have had in California. The next day I returned for lunch and had to taste the burger. Just the presentation and flavors makes the food at Chefs Table stand out. read more

Last night was my first visit. Many of my friends speak highly of this restaurant so it had to live up to its reviews. I say go for drinks, appetizers, and dessert! It would have given the restaurant a 5 out of 5 if the entrees were better and if the seating wasn't so tight. It was a little strange sitting so close to strangers. We ordered our drinks and the pesto fries first. This experience was indescribable. We could not stop eating the fries! Simply delicious. My husband ordered the BlackBerry Jalapeno Margarita and I have never tasted anything like it. It was the perfect balance of unique flavors. I can't wait to go back for that margarita and fries! Our meals however were not as amazing. They didn't taste bad but they didn't taste great. The meat and tortilla on the tacos tasted good but there was nothing special about them. We also ordered the peach burger (I don't recall the actual name of the burger and it isn't on the menu online). The bites of the burger the had the peaches tasted good but not every bite had the peaches. More peaches would have made the burger great. We also ordered the s'more bread pudding. Again we could not eat it fast enough! Hot bread pudding with cracker crust, chocolate ganache and chocolate ice cream. Yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. If you like s'mores or bread pudding than this dessert is a must! read more

We celebrated my boyfriends birthday, he had the pork chop, I had the steak, drinks were involved! The wine selection is great and the blood orange Moscow mule was tasty, the food was so yummy we can't wait to go back! It's pricy but the food is great . There is limited room in The dining room but the staff is attentive and fun as well. read more

Never a disappointment! Love this place for happy hour, constantly changing fresh menu and amazing customer service. Peanut butter burgers? Yes please. (Trust me, you want to be repulsed but it's too good not to devour!) This is a must go. Make a reso because it's cozy inside and you may not otherwise be able to get a table. read more

It was great! From the bar, to the table, the experience was good. My only observation is that the cheese plate was a little pedestrian for the price and the surroundings. Everything else was really, really good. read more

What a disappointment! The high rating is very misleading. Was greeted with a bit of attitude for choosing a certain beer and for not wanting to sit at the bar when we wanted a table. Here are other many cons: The cheeseboard was atrocious. Very uninviting and the crackers were the cheapy kind. The prosciutto of ham was way too spicy. The queso fries were highly recommended on yelp and by the server but were soggy and we were not fans of the pesto taste. The only thing we finished was the caprese salad but even that didn't have true basil on it just a few micro greens. Went once but never again. It's just barely average food that we paid over $70 for. I feel robbed. read more

Crowded at night. Hip trendy restaurant. They have two sides. One is more of an appetizer drinks bar and the other one is a sit down restaurant. The bar side doesn't have a full menu but we ordered drinks there while we waited for a seat on the other side. The red cherry wine Pinot noir was very good. Ordered the New York steak and pork chop. They cook there right in front of you when you sit at the high bar table. Steak was good. Perfectly seasoned but tired of chewing because it was so thick. The porkchop was better sized. My fav thing was the fruit tart dessert. It had a pie like crust a lemon custard filling and fruit on top. Overall delicious place to have dinner. Good service busy. Nice place to have a fancy meal without the pretentiousness read more

Perfection every time !!!! The food is impeccable, the service grand and the atmosphere is chill...

Amazing food, great drinks and a friendly staff. Been 6 time and have never been disappointed. With the small space they have been very creative with splitting into two side. This place is always busy so make reservations. My boyfriend and I drive an hour and half to eat here. So of course I recommend it here. read more

This is my all-time favorite restaurant to go to with my dad, the service is amazing, and don't even get me started on the food. We have been coming here for quite some time and never have we ever been disappointed, the vast knowledge every single person on their team has about their menu and their drinks is very comforting, I truly think this is a restaurant that cares about the quilty of there food and making sure their guests are taken care of. read more

Love everyone that works here and they love working there too. Honestly this place is a gem. Food is consistently great.

Was in town for business and love the environment the food and the people! Would recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious!!! I had the Ceaser with grilled prawns, ate every single bite and even cracked open the end of the prawns so I wouldn't waste a single bite. The dressing was yummy, with just the right tang and blend of wonderful Parmesan Cheese. The coverage of dressing was perfect. Simply enjoyable. read more

I've visited this place so many times and have never stopped to write a review! The Chef's Table is amazing, get a reservation, it's small and in high demand! They book up weeks in advance. If you don't get a reservation, go sit in the bar, it's cozy and the food and drinks are amazing. The menu is always changing, the staff feel like old friends as soon as you sit down. Somehow they can remember your drink preference, even if you only come in once a month or every other month. Perfect for an after work drink or a nice anniversary dinner. If you haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out! read more

Outstanding service and food.If you enjoy good food you need to eat here. Excellent taste..

This was exactly what I was expecting after reading other yelp reviews-amazing! Food was delicious and service was great. This is a small restaurant where you are sitting close to others but that is part if it's charm. You can sit at the bar and watch these real chefs go to work. I had the short rib stroganoff and hubby had fried chicken. Both were delicious! Reservations are definitely needed here and you'll understand why once you try it. We will definitely be returning. read more

Hidden gem! It's going to be difficult not to pop in every time I'm in Rocklin. Excellent food, delicious, creative, and you will devour every morsel. If you see something you want to try, order it, no guarantees it will be on the menu next time. Red velvet bread pudding was my first and I dreamed about it for two days. The New York was amazing, I'm a sauce girl and it needed none. The pesto fries, wow! If there is one item you have to try, it's the pesto fries. Excellent wine pairings too though there was a phenomenal beer selection. I will be back. read more

This place is my absolutely favorite place in Placer County, amazing food, great staff, cool ambiance.

Chef's table is not a secret any more. They are booked sometimes weeks ahead. And why? Well they are fantastic. The food is excellent and the staff is so friendly. This is not a huge restaurant, so get your reservations early. I recommend the fried chicken. Best I have ever had. read more

Excellent food and drinks. So many beers on tap. The atmosphere is great and the service superb.

This is one of my favorite places to go! First time here was after Covid and they were serving outside. The food was amazing! Every visit since the food has been just as amazing and the jalapeño watermelon margarita is so yummy! read more

By far the best French dip in all of the Sacramento valley. Amazing beer and wine selection, super cool owner/staff and very talented chefs!! Brahm is one of the best waiters I've met in the whole region. Down to earth, great service and very knowledgeable! read more

The Chef's Table is our favorite local restaurant! Their ever changing menu keeps things fresh and their staple items like their fried chicken are amazing!!! read more

Excellent food since I moved here 4 years ago! Go to place for perfect service and great eats.

Fabulous food, drinks, and service!! It is well worth the wait as it's first-come-first-served, no reservations taken or required. They have an amazing outdoor area to have drinks and appetizers while you wait for a table inside. Like I said, WELL WORTH THE WAIT! read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! The Shrimp Curry and Filet never disappoint! First time trying the Cucumber Basil Gimlet and I had to have a 2nd one because it was so good. My hubby and I had a great day date. Thanks again! read more

Down to earth staff, Fantastic beer menu, outstanding cocktails, I had the fried chicken and it couldn't be any better.

We visited Chef's Table for our Christmas luncheon and, oh my, it was everything people said it was. Three of us had the Filet Sliders and you could have heard a pin drop at our table. No one wanted to talk while eating the food was so delicious. We also enjoyed the Pesto Fries. If you aren't keen on smaller places this place may not be for you, as it was a tight fit with just five of us. I will be back! read more

Best original and creative dishes! Service is so warm and welcoming with many suggestions to go with the occasion! Pesto fries and hummus avocado are great appetizers to share. The halibut is to die for, same with the burgers! Craft cocktails are amazing! read more

Ok so we went there again for our anniversary dinner. I have upgraded one more star purely for the server personnel. I have mixed feelings about this place to be honest. Somethings, like the way the tables are set up don't really lend this place as a romantic kind of restaurant, this is hard to put my finger on, but it's probably due to the relatively small dining area and the fact that it's always packed. Which brings me to my main point. So far the meals I've had there are good, but not rave worthy. Granted, it's not a chain restaurant, and for Rocklin it's nice to have a privately held quality place. The fried chicken, that everyone really raves about is good, but again, not really the greatest. I felt let down, especially for the price. But hey, if I had a restaurant this popular, I'd raise my prices too. Perhaps we keep expecting too much due to the reviews, and maybe we need to try this for lunch and not for a special occasion. We saw the burger at the next table, which looked amazing, and the tater tots with the steak topping looked killer. The table next to use had the sliders, which looked great too. So for our next anniversary dinner I'm going to opt for something more intimate, and less of a high end craft beer house feel. So it's a worthy place, just not crazy-good food that the reviews would make one believe. read more

The food here is good, but the menu is limited, especially for happy hour food and the inside is teeny tiny. For what we paid I expected better ambiance, but it was about the size of a chipotle in there and the patrons were pretty packed in. Updated after owner response: To confirm we did have the pesto fries on the bar side, which were good, but the only happy hour type food on the menu and then we had a full dinner in the restaurant side. read more

It was set to be a fun Saturday (4/29/17) that was kid free and open to new adventures! Instead it the evening turned into a humiliating experience. My guy wanted to treat me to something we have never tried before so we drove out from natomas to try Chef's table. I was so excited!!! We arrived at 9:06 starving and ready to eat. When we walked in and waited for several minutes we looked around to get a sense of how it worked, found no sign or a host/hostess so we made the faux pa of heading to the bar on the left side of the restaurant. I smiled and greeted the Chef and said "hi we are new to this and are didn't see anyone so we came to sit:)". He said in a bit of an irritated tone with a semi-smile "sorry this is a reserved area for reservations only so I need you to go back up front". We were embarrassed but still ok and went to the front to have an employee walk up to the front to say "we have no reservation" then proceeded to throw a bar menu at us and say "first come, first serve". Confused I proceeded to ask "do I seat myself?" Not wanting to make another mistake and he said "I said first come, first serve". My guy was done! His intentions to treat me to a fun dinner were ruined at this point! We decided to go try High Steaks at thunder valley instead and were happy to pay $300 for a dinner that had phenomenal guest service! read more

All the food I've tried here so far has been nothing short of absolutely delicious! Especially the short ribs and the rueben rolls!! The servers have a cool, easy way about them. It's a chill place with amazing food. My new fave!! read more
