The Chef's Table

There is no way to sugarcoat the long wait you will experience to dine at this place during prime time dinner hours, they do not take reservations. With that said, if you make the decision to stay, it will absolutely be worth the wait. Franklin’s smiling face and easygoing attitude greets you when you come in and takes your party’s name. (we had a party of 6) He does a phenomenal job doing anything that needs to be done as he constantly makes his way around the restaurant checking on table availability and interacting with customers, he never stops! After we were seated, our drink order was taken almost immediately. Our server Johnny was excellent. Actually every server that attended to us were friendly, attentive and efficient. Our appetizers were fantastic, the entrees were fabulous and the desserts were amazing. We all tried a little of each other’s dish, and each of us agreed that every dish was delicious. The Chef’s Table is definitely a must try restaurant!

Absolutely fabulous dining experience at The Chef’s Table in Rocklin! We popped in for dinner and wow—this place never misses. I ordered the sole, and while it came with a little more butter than I usually go for, the flavor was still rich and delicious. The real surprise star? The beet salad. I could’ve eaten an entire mixing bowl of it. SO good. My husband went full comfort-gourmet with the hamburger topped with brie and fig jam, and let me tell you… that combo is pure magic. Sweet, savory, melty—dangerously addictive. Cocktails? Always on point. Their bartenders know how to balance flavor, and I’m a loyal fan of their Chenin Blanc. The oyster shooter is also a must-try if you’re feeling fun. And listen… if you’re adventurous, grab the peanut butter and jelly hamburger. Sounds crazy, tastes shockingly amazing. The Chef’s Table continues to be one of our go-to spots—creative dishes, great drinks, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!

Every time we’re in Northern California we stop in here. We sit in the bar and enjoy the pastrami egg rolls, the pesto fries and usually a couple of salads. The servers are great, the food is awesome and it never disappoints!!!

-wow this place is a 10 out of 5 keep local businesses alive best food i’ve ever had if you go to this area get your butt here and early or you’ll wait a long time no reservations. Get that PBJ burger on the secret menu.

I stopped in for lunch and was welcomed in straight away by the friendly bartender. I sat at the bar since I was by myself and the vibe was super comfortable. I only had water because I was still in work hours but the beer menu and cocktail menu were super tempting. I loved the food menu and went with the burger which was a seasonal bacon fig burger which was phenomenal. I used the bathroom to wash my hands and it’s worth noting the bathroom was clean and everything was stocked. Definitely will return and highly recommend you check this place out.

Our favorite place to hang, eat, and celebrate! All the food is consistently amazing. We order everything - and it is always awesome. Difficult to pick a favorite. The menu changes seasonally - and they are always changing the menu up with new things to try!

Always worth the wait! They don’t take reservations so get there early or get there late. But there’s a reason why this place is always so packed. The food is amazing and they rotate several dishes in and out seasonally. Which means you can something new every time you go. I haven’t had a single bad (or even mediocre) meal here in the last 5 years. But the fish dish is always the absolute best. And if you like Negronis, Brett makes the best Negroni I’ve ever had, in my humble opinion. Plus, they have one of the best beer selections on tap, almost all local NorCal brews. We come for the food but stay for the amazing people that make up Chef’s Table!!
