“I loved working with Elizabeth and her team! As a wedding coordinator, I really appreciate when a catering team is communicative and adaptable, and they were both. The servers were professional and kind to guests, the food was fantastic, and the entire team stuck to the timeline perfectly. They handled a last-minute seating change with ease and were incredibly helpful during the full room flip from ceremony to dinner. It’s rare to find a team that’s both professional and easygoing, but they struck that balance beautifully. I would absolutely love to work with them again!”

The place itself is bright and comfortable, very clean, and welcoming, with a wide selection that makes you want to come back and try more (I sure will). Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for quality food made well, and a ton of spaces to park in. Highly recommended this place”

— Kayla Ewert, Google Review · 4.7 ★ avg from 852 reviewsThe Kitchen Restaurant in Sacramento is an intimate 32-seat chef-driven dining experience where guests gather around a custom exhibition kitchen to watch their multi-course tasting menu prepared live. Operated by Selland Hospitality Group, The Kitchen offers a highly interactive evening with seasonal wine or cocktail pairings, blending fine dining with the warmth of a dinner party. Reservations are by phone only for this unique culinary theater in midtown Sacramento.
“Dinner at The Kitchen was more than dinner out - it was an experience. As soon as you arrive and are seated, they encourage you to get up and move around, talk to the staff, ask questions, go back in the back kitchen, and sample various nibbles they had scattered all around. The first nibbles we found were the oysters - freshly shucked and no limit to how many you can have! Heaven for us! But we knew we had a lot of food coming so we didn't take too much, as we wanted to also try the other nibbles. That lasted a good half hour. The executive chef then greeted us and got us all jazzed up about the evening, and again encouraged us to come back (while they were prepping/cooking!) anytime we wanted. We never did, as our seats at the counter (the best seats!) afforded us a great view of the goings-on, and we didn't want to miss anything. The food really was excellent - I think we had something like 6 courses, along with an "intermission" of more oysters, and multiple desserts at the end. Whew! I loved the ambiance - the staff wasn't stressed at all - everyone seemed like they were really enjoying themselves and were a team. Very impressive and pleasant to watch and experience.”

Our midwest “meat and potatoes” family had nothing but rave reviews (even for the salad), and our food snob friends ranked it #1 for wedding catering they’ve had. Our soup was served individually, but the rest of our meal was family style. It brought a familiar warmth to such an elevated and perfectly executed meal. Nobody left less than full, and Chef Allyson ensured our guests with dietary restrictions had a seamless experience. We’re so grateful that Chef Allyson was able to work within our budget and make our wedding day so memorable. (photos by D at River and Root)”
