Fantastic service. The appetizers were delicious. Our entrees we're unique, flavorful and service fresh. Give it a try. I think you will like it.
5-star on service (the staff culture of this business is a 12 on a 10 scale) and 5-star food. There are already so many good reviews on Yelp for this business, but I spent my first visit here amazed. If you own a business and/or manage people come in see how optimal customer service looks. It's a really special moment at The Chef's Table - a "moment" that has survived ownership changes, a pandemic, and a bunch of other challenges that owner/operator Eric (say hi to him when you visit) has led his team through empowering them to make everyone feel special. As I sat here for dinner with the clock just passing their official closing time, a couple walked in and was received with "I'm so happy you are here! Let me get you a table" from my server Nick. Gracious, warm and engaging defined the entire staff. And the food! I had: Pesto fries Braised Short Rib Stroganoff Bread Pudding for dessert Old Fashioned All were ACES. Do yourself a favor- go to TCT and have one of the best meals you'll ever have. The. Go back again.
Went around 6pm and the place was packed. It's cozy and inviting. Everyone was friendly and engaging. Wait time was somewhere around 30-45 min. There are chairs where you can sit to wait and a server will take drink orders. The food was tasty. We got the egg rolls, meals we went with filet and stroganoff. & ended with the bread pudding.
This place is absolutely amazing! They are pretty busy so don't show up when your hangry cuz there is a little bit of a wait (also no reservations). The staff is so friend and professional. They make excellent cocktails too! 10 outta 10 would go again
Local farm to table restaurant, small town feel with a limited amount of tables. Long wait times during weekend dinner rush, waited a little over an hour for a two top table. The service was wonderful, fast and efficient without rushing. The egg rolls were delicious, the sauce was amazing! I really enjoyed the burger with a huge pickle! The chicken mushroom risotto was okay, wouldn't order again. Looking forward to trying more things on the menu!
Moved to Sac from the Bay and it's been tough trying to find restaurants that make me say WOW!!! How unique or I'll be coming back.. etc. etc. 11/21/24. Yayyy!!! Hubby's Birthday!!! No reservations and you can join the waitlist on arrival only. I don't usually wait, but we had already drove out 40 minutes in the rain and I had to do it for his birthday. I could already tell it's packed by just walking towards the door. Nice guy told us the wait for 2 was gona be 30-40 minutes, but only waited for 20. Nice! Our waiter was cool and friendly! Did my research before coming so, we were ready to order. //APPETIZERS: 4/5 stars. Pastrami Reuben Egg Rolls $16+ Shaved pastrami, swiss cheese, caraway, sauerkraut, whole grain mustard, with russian dressing. - Love the crispy-ness! I like the meaty taste, so I wished I tasted more pastrami. Slightly sour because of the sauerkraut. Maybe I'm so used to/enjoy filipino eggrolls that I wasn't into this egg roll as I would like to be. The russian dressing was, also, on the slight sour side. Wished the sauce was sweet since the egg rolls were already slightly sour. Still pretty delicious! The cheese and crispy-ness made up for it. 5/5 stars. Pan Seared Scallops $26+ Parsnip puree, green apple gravy, cranberry sauce, toasted pecans, and micro intensity green. - Yummmmmmmm buttery scallops and I can tell they put so much work on the sides. DELICIOUS! 4/5 stars. Oyster Shooter $6+ each Pacific oyster, house made ponzu, sake, siracha, micro cilantro, and piece of lemon on the side of the cup. - Ordered 2. One with sake and the other without cause I am preggo lol. Not suppose to be eating oysters, but haven't had one in sooo looong, so I risked it for the biscuit lol. Clean and buttery oyster. Delish light house made ponzu. Wished it had more cilantro and does not need lemon because ponzu was good enough. They made it into a small cocktail-like drink to sip on which was awesome! Better than any other oyster shooter I've had in a long time. //ENTREES: 5/5 stars. PB&J Burger $21+ TCT Bacon Jam Fig Burger. Rib brisket chuck blend ground beef, bacon, fig jam, brie, arugula, mustard aioli. - Peanut butter and jelly... WHAAAAAAAAT?! WOW! Amazing. Who would have thought a peanut butter and jelly burger would be a hit?! We wanted some thing different for a change and this was the star of the show. No arugula. No big deal. Just being detailed. Juicy beef, crispy bread, semi-crispy thick cut bacon, and not-so-sour thick, juicy pickle LALALALOOOVE IT!!! Every thing combined just worked out to perfection! 4/5 stars. Braised Beef Short Rib $39+ Beef short rib, red wine jus, butternut squash, and white polenta sauteed bloomsdale spinach, sorrel gremulata, vela dry jack. - Loved how the meat was super tender!!! Flavorful beefy taste and just melts in your mouth. Butternut squash sauce could use a gravy-like flavor to cut out a little bit of the fat from the beef and add more flavor over the white polenta. Would love to have more greens. Still DELICIOUS! 3/5. Caribbean Braised Pork Shank $38+ Toasted basmati rice with mango and coconut, caribbean veloute, chayote mignonette. - Flavorful! Star of the show was the rice and the non-existent sauce. The pork shank was chewy and kinda dry. It should have been fall off the bone, juicy, and tender. The whole entire entree should have been smothered with that yummy sauce. It was alright! Would order again if they make adjustments. //DESSERTS: They had 2 desserts to choose from. I forgot to take a picture of the menu, so I wasn't sure if it was on there. Asked our waiter and he said 1) Brownie with caramel glaze and vanilla ice cream. 2) Pumpkin with some sort of custard. Birthday boy picked the brownie with ice cream and OH BOYYY!!! Delicious! Brownie has melted filling and outer crispy shell and the ice cream on top with a caramel glaze was soooooooo gooooooood! It was a PHENOMENAL experience! Would love to come back for drinks (when not preggo) and just endless orders of scallops and oyster shooters. Shout out to the whole staff here!!! woOhOo!!! Even though the 3 entrees took an hour to come out, they came to us to let us know. They talked to us for a bit to welcome us and thanked us for our support. Grateful for our waiter who helped me sing happy birthday to my hubby =) I LOVE THE VIBE HERE!!! ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC THEY PLAYED AND HOW SUPPORTIVE THE STAFF WAS TOWARDS EACH OTHER AND TO US!!! Team work definitely makes the dream work. HAPPY EAT'S YA'LL!!!
Ok...let's get straight to the point, get the "secret menu" item PB&J Burger. It may sound...weird...but don't worry, it'll be the best meal you've had all week. The sweet and salty are perfect, and you'll need extra napkins cause it'll be dripping juices everywhere. The service was nice and the ambience was causal bar type setting. They have a full bar and TVs with the game on. Thank me later.
