Hidden Table did my daughter's wedding in April. The food was 100% fabulous. The staff was 100% fabulous. They went above and beyond I would recommend Hidden Table to anybody. Thank you so much everyone at Hidden Table. Debbie B read more

Professional & Friendly Staff, Delicious Food, and Great Performance! The location is incredible...I think Valhalla is one of the best and most beautiful spots in Tahoe to hold a wedding and reception. read more

Jake, Rae, and Chef Joaquin are absolute super stars! My mom and step dad decided to finally tie the knot after 15+ years together and The Hidden Table team made magic happen. They were given a very short turn around time, but that did not deter them from the task. From the planning, to the tasting, to the day-of, they took such great care of my parents. Everyone on the team (especially the Planner) was very patient, kind, and accommodating to my parents every question and request. The food was sooo good and the on-site team made set up and break down look like a total breeze. Jake and Rae had excellent communication with us throughout the event and Chef Joaquin totally rocked it with his mobile set up. They even left to go boxes, disposable cups and utensils for the left overs so that our guests and family members could take home what remained. We cannot thank THT enough for helping make my parents wedding weekend such a huge success! read more

I'm getting catered and delivered appetizers here for my wedding and had a great experience! Savannah was very communicative and it was easy to go back and forth as I decided on exactly what I wanted and how many servings of everything. Really looking forward to the tasty food! read more

Joe, Christy, Savannah and the team are great. They helped us make an amazing wedding that we will remember forever.

Everything went so smoothly from my first inquiry email to the day of my wedding. Although my contact person switched 2-3 times throughout my planning process, every person I talked to were able to pick up seamlessly with where the previous person left off. They were also very patient with me. I switched my mind on a few things on different occasions last minute and they were able to accommodate my needs. I started off with a taster box. I wasn't able to try the food until a few hours later (so the food was cold) and it was still so delicious! It was an easy decision to go with THT for my wedding. I love that it's a full service cater service - so they help with rentals, set up, and breakdown. If I have another celebration, I'll most definitely go with THT again read more

The clam chowder was made with love and thought great fried cod with chips outstanding ! A definite favorite I'm glad that we got a chance to eat here, I definitely advise everyone to enjoy a meal! What a wonderful experience we had together, thanks Yall read more

My wedding food was AMAZING!!! To give you some context, I am a professed foodie. I have been traveling for over 25 years where my work gave me the luxury of dining at Michelin rated restaurants around the world. My favorite Netflix show is 'the Final Table' aired in 2018, and my favorite chefs are Grant Anchatz of Alinea and Anne-Sophie Pic of France to put it into perspective. The Hidden Table's value prop is simply "Real-Time" Farm to Table elegance with flavor. The catered food is cooked at the venue in real time versus pre-cooked the night before like most catering services. The boutique service aims for quality in food and service over quantity and mass marketing. During my wedding, Robert my official assigned coordinator ensured that the food and set up met my expectations and the details I requested were in place, along with the two bar tenders and service waiters to handle guests needs. The owners Chef Russ and Linda, who did not need to be on hand at the wedding, along with Ritzy, were extremely attentive and detail oriented throughout my six months of planning, as well as super honest, which I appreciated, as to the food details, menu and catering choices. I originally wanted plated but then switched to buffet after the recommendations, which was a hit at the wedding. My wedding centered around the food, dancing, and decor, as those are my three key requests. Appetizer: Charcuterie Board (Cheese and breads), Tomato Bisque Shooters, Pear & Brie Crostini's, Hummus & chopped olives crostini, & Mixed greens. Main Dishes: Butternut Squash Lasagna with Sage Brown Butter sauce, Grilled Rosemary & Lemon Chicken, Grilled Angus Tri-Tip, and Miso Glazed Salmon with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Dessert: Three Tier Wedding Cake (Red Velvet/Marble/Strawberry), mini Lemon cupcakes, lemon bars, Chocolate Covered Strawberries, and Chocolate Mousse cups. (provided by Heather from the Cake Smith contracted by Hidden Table) I was extremely happy with the food and service, and will utilize them again for my future catering needs. read more

5-25-25 Hidden Table completely exceeded our expectations! They provided full-service catering and rentals that covered everything - incredible food, non-alcoholic beverages, bar staff, tables, silverware, linens, serving, and cleanup. The food was absolutely immaculate - we had countless guests approach us throughout the evening and even after the wedding to rave about how delicious everything was. So many said they would happily eat at a Hidden Table restaurant and that it was nothing like the typical "crappy wedding food" you usually expect. My mom even found an extra bowl to sneak more mashed potatoes before the end of the night! The staff was phenomenal - so kind and attentive on our wedding day - and their corporate office made the entire planning process effortless. We worked with Breanna, she was our point person and amazing! If you're planning a wedding in Tahoe or the greater Sacramento area, Hidden Table is an absolute must. They turned our reception into a true culinary experience that our guests are still talking about! read more

It was a pleasure working with the Hidden Table for our June 2023 Lake Tahoe wedding. The process from beginning to end was stress-free. At our private tasting, we experienced the full meal, which gave us complete confidence that everything from the extensive grazing table, to the meal and beverages would be delicious. The day of the wedding, as promised: the food was prepared on site, our family and guests enjoyed a fine dining experience that was organized and thoughtful, ample kind and happy staff catered to every need, the bride and groom were served first which allowed them time to enjoy their meal, and the Hidden Table even cut and serve the cake! After the event, they even stayed and cleaned up the venue, again allowing us to completely enjoy the entire wedding day! Thank you to every single person on the Hidden Table team!

If I could leave 10 stars I would! We just had an amazing day catered by The Hidden Table for my parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration! Manager Mark, Chef Christina, Bartender Robert, and Assistant Joaquin, were all so kind, professional, organized, flexible, fun and all-around awesome. The guests were all impressed with the food, service, and also the fabulous presentation of it all. Everything was fresh out of the kitchen, tasty, and beautiful. The number one thing to mention is that all of this came together in under 1 week. We had a whole other event planned, but due to the Caldor Fire, my sisters and I had to change the whole thing. Last Saturday I called multiple caterer's and Chef Russ with The Hidden Table was the only one that said they could help us out. They came up with a menu, took care of ALL OF THE RENTALS (what?!), and were able to have an entire staff available to come to our place (over 60 minutes away) to feed and serve 40+ people. I know after calling many, many other places that we wouldn't have gotten this level of service and care from anyone else. Being able to celebrate my parents and this huge milestone, with their closest family and friends, when all our plans fell through last minute due to Mother Nature, was the best gift we could have given them. The Hidden Table should be everyone's first choice for an event, luncheon, dinner, party, anything!! We will definitely be hiring them for all our catering needs. Thank you Chef Russ for answering the phone last Saturday afternoon!! We couldn't have done this without The Hidden Table! read more

The Hidden Table - Caterers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ive been dreading writing this review because I have to dredge up the negative experience that I had with this company. I am the mother of the bride and we chose this caterer for my daughters wedding this year. Food was the MOST important part of the reception and my daughter and I are self proclaimed Foodies. We were willing to spend the bulk of the wedding budget on really great food. Which this did cost as much as a down payment on a house. But that was okay with us as long as we got what we paid for! First of all I was very disappointed in the appetizers. We had explained in our pre-wedding tasting that we wanted a large grazing table for our guests, (5-6' long) what we got was a small corner table with very little charcuterie items and some crackers?!?! I had 80 people at the wedding. It ran out in 10 minutes. When I asked for more crackers the wait staff said no because the app hour was almost over but it had only been about 20 minutes!?!? And there was still some cheese and guests were still eating. The "grazing" table was a BIG let down and scant at best. We also chose a selection of 3 apps that were passed out. One of them tasted like tuna on toast. I guess it was supposed to be a crab app? It was not good. Then we moved onto the dinner. One problem with dinner was that we were receiving our Starter without having our wine poured yet! The wait staff was either slow or unorganized. I finished my starter before having a drink. Then once I got my glass of wine, I never got a refill, that was it. Had to drink water with my dinner. Next problem was after the Intermezzo which was a sorbet/Prosecco palette cleanser, it took 30 minutes to get the entre! It was just so unacceptable! The guests started getting up from their seats and wondering around! Finally the Main came out, first of all the Miso Salmon was very good, unfortunately only 21 of my guests chose that. The bulk of our guests chose the Filet Mignon. When I had this at our tasting, it was perfectly cooked, and cut like butter. I don't know what this meat was? It was tough with gristle! And it was a bit spicy, It wasn't at the tasting! I even asked my family's table how it was and they said the same thing. So it wasn't just mine. It tasted like round steak, not filet. Also the veg was practically raw. It was terrible. Such a huge let down! I would never recommend this caterer in a million years. NOT worth the money. By the way, our wedding planner discussed our concerns to Chef Russ and his wife a week after the ceremony in May. I've never heard back. read more

The hidden table made our wedding so special. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is outstanding. They surpassed expectations in every way and we are so grateful for them! read more

Russ and Linda have provided a couple of outstanding spreads, all with exceptional presentations, to a few events of mine in this past year. I am very grateful for them, their professionalism, kindness, and dedication to delivering the best! read more

CROOKS! These guys STOLE over 6 thousand dollars from us in the COVID pandemic. We cancelled our event beyond 250 days before the event which their contract states is a full refund minus 1k and they refused to give the money back. This is how Russ and Linda do business- bring you in for a nice tasting, open your wallet, and if anything happens they won't even honor their own contract and encourage you to take them to court instead just to watch you front the money for an attorney. DO NOT SUPPORT A COMPANY THAT STEALS FROM YOUNG COUPLES!! HAPPY TO SHARE ALL EMAILS WITH THEM FOR PROOF WITH ANY CONCERNED POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS. read more

HIDE from this food. Literally the worse food at a wedding I have ever had. The salad had nothing (or if it did, it was hiding) and was boring. The Pasta Bar, had no flavor or creativity. I doubt this was cheap. They even ran out of pasta condiments. It was boring. The appetizers were ok and servers friendly but the dinner was not good. The wedding was, the food not. read more

Russ, Linda, Mark, & Staff all did a phenomenal job on our wedding! The food was absolutely delicious and so was the service. Thank you for making our "best day ever" just that! read more

What an amazing wedding weekend! The rehearsal dinner was so special and delicious. The personal service was outstanding. Then the wedding, cocktail hour and dinner - beyond words. But the customized dessert were amazing. Thank you The Hidden Table for making our baby's wedding delicious. read more

Hidden Table served a beautiful, delicious luncheon that I hosted for a baby shower. They came in and set everything up for a beautiful displayed lunch. My family are foodies and excellent cooks so I was worried about the food tasting good. Their food was so good I sent leftovers with many of them! Second and third helpings on the traditional lasagna! Great job! I highly recommend Hidden Table for your next party! read more

We booked The Hidden Table team for our wedding in Roseville this past weekend and we are SO happy we did. The food was AMAZING (highly recommend the brisket, miso glazed salmon, and mashed potatoes) and I'm still finishing up the leftover desserts several days later. They're that good. The lemon bars were especially *chefs kiss*. Hats off to Chef Russ and his team! Linda was our contact person and she helped us organize and plan everything every step of the way. She was so accommodating, detail-oriented, thorough, and flexible with the whole process. I can't thank her enough for how smoothly everything went leading up to the wedding day (as well as the day of!) And because this was all during peak COVID, we actually had to postpone once, but the Hidden Table team took care of all rescheduling for us and they're also really on top of all safety measures and precautions. Overall, our experience with them was nothing short of amazing and I highly highly recommend them to anyone planning an event in this area. Thank you Hidden Table!! read more

I hired the hidden table to cook for my small backyard dinner party and it was a huge hit. I'm so glad I went with Chef Russ's team! They prepared and cooked the food in my small kitchen and served and waited on us. They were very clean and wore their masks the whole time. The food was delicious! Everyone was so impressed. Reasonably priced and such a relief not having to cook and clean. Can't wait to work with you guys again. Thank you so much! read more

This is my second time working with The Hidden Table, and both times were excellent. Not only is the planning stress free, the food is outstanding! Both events that I have used The Hidden Table for catering were for 250-300 guests. I have been so impressed by not only the quality of the food, the display, and the wide selection of offerings, but for so many people, the food is hot, the meats moist and juicy, and the servers are very pleasant, professional, and attentive. Chef Russ and Linda are a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend contacting The Hidden Table for your catering needs, whether for a large party for small dinner. read more

They catered our wedding and did a fantastic job! They were very easy to work with, accommodating to our changes, and arrived at the event early. All of our guests complimented us on how delicious the food was. We would highly recommend using them to cater for any large event. read more

When we booked Wolfe Heights for our venue, all the staff there recommended The Hidden Table as our caterer. When I met with Chef Russ, I told him I want my quests to leave my wedding saying that they had the best wedding food ever.. Boy did they. I have received more text and calls complimenting the food and mostly their service staff from my guests than anything else. The Staff was absolutely amazing. Our team lead Richard was constantly attentive to us and our guests need. Our wedding planner repeatedly told me that Hidden Table was her new favorite vendor! Thank you again Chef Russ, Linda, Richard and all your staff for making our special day the best!! read more

My family held my bridal shower there. They were great to work with and the food was AMAZING! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles read more

The Hidden Table - Caterers Near Me - Sacramento, California

From start to finish, Chef Russ, Linda, and the staff cared for us like family. They clearly had been through many Wedding Receptions and other stressful events. Some of the top reasons we selected them as our Wedding Cater are: 1. User friendly - explained all necessary steps in detail & there were no hidden surprises. Easy to contact and communicate with and are not afraid to use their experience to assist with your wedding. Their staff was very professional and handle unforeseen emergencies with ease during the reception (you know there will be a few... it's a wedding) 2. FAST - was able to serve +125 people in under 20 minutes in a buffet style, which kept the wedding on track and on schedule 3. Willing to work and accommodate with you and your budget. Did not bully us! Many of the vendors we contacted would not work with us based on our budget! We highly recommend The Hidden Table, or at least call for a quick quote, and will certainly use them again! read more

I inquired about wedding catering and spoke to someone for about an hour (more like I was talked to) and was consistently told that customers "don't know what they want" and just need to "shut up and listen" He also mentioned that food allergies aren't real and gluten free people can just "figure it out" I was willing to chalk it up to him just being a quirky (albeit abrasive) guy, and agreed to look over the proposal he would be sending over the following day. Well I never received the proposal, and I even emailed him a few times to check in. I did however, receive an advertisement from their company a few weeks later with a personalized message about my "future wedding" and an invite to have a consultation (which I had already had) I responded to that email explaining that I had already had the consultation and never received the proposal or heard from them again. Literally within a few hours they emailed me back, and I kid you not, all the email said was "okay." read more

If you want to work with someone who's condescending, arrogant, and a know-it-all, hire "Chef Russ". I had a 30 min phone conversation with him about catering an event and couldn't believe how he spoke to me, a potential client. He didn't listen, just proceeded to tell me what I should serve at my event. He's not only patronizing, but the most expensive caterer I talked to. The absolute deal-breaker for me was how he dissed other caterers. That's extremely unprofessional, and he did it several times - emphasizing how much better he was than anyone else in town. So crass. If you want to add stress, dollars, and negative energy to your event, work with this company.... read more

THEY ARE AMAZING!! The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The staff was so so so attentive! Mark and his staff and excellent at communicating every step of the way!! I will no doubt use them for further events! You will have an amazing experience with this company! Don't hesitate just call them and book it! Thank you Hidden Table staff....I couldn't have planned a better night without you. read more

Chef Russ and his team do such an amazing job making what would be an ordinary catered business lunch extraordinary! I can't wait to have them cater a large event for us. Everything was perfect down the the last detail! read more

The Hidden Table catered our wedding of ~175 people and they were amazing through the whole process. Linda was extremely organized and helpful through the wedding planning process and the food was great. They catered our rehearsal dinner, reception and even made frittatas for the morning of the wedding. They also did the bar service for a very reasonable price. They were great to work with and I'd recommend them to anyone having a wedding in the area! read more

Amazing food! I can not rave enough how great the food is. There is care and love into every meal and having gotten a chance to eat carnitas and tamales, i think the food speaks for itself! 1000/10 read more

I booked the Hidden Table for an impromptu Christmas work party and was pleasantly surprised. The whole team was very helpful and understanding throughout the entire process even though I booked only a month in advance. They seemed to be well staffed and everything ran according to schedule. The bartender was outstanding and even helped one of my coworkers throw together a gag gift for our white elephant. The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful (their charcuterie board is a work of art). I heard so many of our guests loved the seabass with the miso glaze and the tri tip was so tender, there was no need for knives. Another compliment I received is that everyone's food was hot! We did not have to wait for everyone to be served which was a problem at our last catered event. My boss and his wife were very happy with the experience as there was little work for them to do, no set up or clean up. Everyone was happy. Thank you Robert, Russ, Erica and Linda. read more

Chef Russ and staff did an amazing job for our wedding! He made everything so personal and so delicious. He knows what tastes good together - food and drink. Our wedding was for about 80 people held at a private home. He came in took over the kitchen, cooked on the BBQ and it was all seamless and did i mention delicious! I would highly recommend Chef for your next small dinner party or larger gathering! read more

The Hidden Table did a phenomenal job catering our wedding. Robert, who was in charge of coordinating the food for our wedding day, was highly was responsive and accommodating to our menu preferences, including providing several vegan/vegetarian options for guests. The food was excellent, with tri tip cooked perfectly and delicious sides. Guests were all complimenting the quality of the food. Robert was on top of things all day and there were no hiccups with food. Everything tasted great. Well worth what we paid. read more

I was so grateful to be able to find a caterer in Sacramento to accommodate me, during Covid! (As I am a Los Angeles resident and am use to high quality!) Chef Russ and his staff went out of their way to help me honor my dad for his 75th birthday! I am new to planning parties and I just wanted some guranteed winners! The charcuterie was the LA standard I'm wanted! Who knew my family would love Brie and Jam so much!! Everything was so delicious with flavor, so pleasing to the eye and I only wish I ordered more to steal a midnight snack!!! . 10 stars!!! read more

The business randomly reached out to me on social media and when I stated that I was confused as to they're out of the blue contact they sent me a screenshot of the interaction and then blocked me. I was not rude, just confused and politely stated such, so not sure why a business would block a potential customer. I am currently looking for a caterer for multiple events this year for a multibillion dollar corporation and thought maybe a friend had recommended to them to contact me as they know I would much rather give the substantial funds to a personally known business, by myself or by friend/family, so I asked and instead of politely stating I had clicked on an ad at some point they rudely sent a screenshot of exactly what I could see, no answer or response at all and then blocked me preventing me from asking for information to pass on to my superiors to get them on the vendor lis. Very unprofessional and childish. read more
