Dining Guide

Intimate, personal, fun but refined: It’s not easy to find a restaurant in Rocklin that answers to these descriptors. But The Chef’s Table is it. Newly expanded with a full bar, the place still feels like a secret hideaway for those who are in the know; reservations are recommended for table service, but it’s just as much fun to sit at the bar (just make sure to get there early). The menu, which focuses on farm-fresh ingredients, changes often, but it might include appetizers like beer-battered pesto fries and main dishes like fried chicken and a filet slider topped with applewood-smoked bacon. For dessert, look out for the decadent house-made bacon brownie with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
