Review The Kitchen Restaurant - Sacramento

We dined for their early fall menu and loved it. There are a lot of moving parts to The Kitchen. This location feels more intimate than the previous one. Something about being right around laundromat and Taco Bell really felt like we stepped into our own littler universe for 4-5 hours. We sat at the counter and felt comfortable. Their staff is lovely and so attentive.

The best food I’ve ever had. This was the second time coming to the kitchen, but first time at their new location and it was just as amazing!! The new location is great since it offers much more room to explore and roam around the kitchen. They offer great food, service, and entertainment the entire time. Highly recommend

This was a dinner like no other. Not a stuffy high priced restaurant; they want people to enjoy their food how the diners wanted to. Each course was a well executed, technically complex, perfect bites. We did the wine pairing, which elevated the taste of the dishes. You could ask for seconds. You could ask for the courses out of order. The service was perfectly timed with the pace of the meal, and I truly felt like this was our own fancy kitchen with personal chefs at home. We walked around to watch how the dishes were plated and spoke to the staff as to how they're made. I see why The Kitchen is a draw to everyone.

This place is like nothing else. Food is all wonderfully delicious! Service is exceptional! Its nothing like dinning at a regular resturant. The whole evening unfolds lke an interactive, edible, relaxed, fun play. It was exceptional. A really wonderful evening. I definitly recommend!

This is an believable restaurant. The dining experience is something I’ve never experienced before, and I’ve trained all over the world. The chef creates the atmosphere by welcoming everyone and giving a brief, but humorous explanation of the restaurant. All patrons are welcome to walk around and see the meals being created and all questions. They also provide hors d’ oeuvres as you’re walking around. There is a kitchen in the back, open for viewing at all times for small plate prep and a kitchen in the front where many sit at the counter watching the hot dishes being made. I recommend sitting where you can see the back kitchen because it’s amazing to watch seven people prepare one dish. Each has their own responsibility for the dish. See photos.

Amazing experience, beautiful food, wonderful staff. It was not only fun but super filling. The food is beyond anything I've had the pleasure of experiencing. If you've never been, make it a bucket list item.

This is one of the best restaurants and it's our absolute favorite. The quality of the ingredients, the beautiful presentation, and the taste of each dishes are extraordinarily delicious. There's no word to describe the experience, you just have to come and see it for yourself. You can and will enjoy, relax, laugh, and have fun at The Kitchen. Special thanks to Chief Kelly and his whole team. You guys are amazingly talented. Thank you for all your wonderful delicious dishes. We really appreciated all that you did and allowed us to be part of it.

1st time experience at the kitchen. Beautiful ambience, especially sitting at the counter with full view of the chefs workings. Outstanding service, never went more than a few minutes without staff checking on our every need. The drinks specialist gave us a cellar tour and shared her extensive wine knowledge. Chef Kelly is so charismatic and hilarious! The food is simply amazing!

If you have not been to "The Kitchen," MICHELIN starred restaurant, and you're a foodie.. you love to cook , drink, and eat. You have to go to this restaurant at least once. I had a six course meal with a cocktail pairing and dessert. This was hands down one of the best dining experiences that I've ever had.

This was our first time at The Kitchen after hearing about it for years from friends and tonight was an incredible experience! I was blown away by the asparagus — ASPARAGUS! We didn’t really know what to expect from this level of fine dining and were unsure if the dishes would be too sophisticated for our palate but the first dish of asparagus showed us what we’ve been missing!The quality ingredients and sauces tasted so clean yet had rich, complex flavors. The evening was definitely off to an impressive start as that was the most memorable plate of asparagus I’ve ever enjoyed! It appeared we were the only ones to bring our child tonight and our 10-year-old loved it! She can be finicky with certain foods and vegetables at home, but she was a big fan of the asparagus dish, as well as the oysters (trying it for the first time), and the beef medallion (enjoying two servings). The wonton in pea purée was also spectacular. Peas never tasted this good before! Our family really enjoyed the evening together and we are so happy to experience The Kitchen. Before tonight we were also concerned whether we could slog through 4-5 hours of dining but the time flew by. The pacing was perfect and there’s so much going on in front of you and in the kitchen that you don’t pay attention to the time. The service is extremely attentive, courteous, and welcoming. The combination of amazing food and impeccable service results in a very comfortable way to spend the evening. Thank you to the chefs, managers, and entire team for such a perfect and memorable night!
