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.

Such an amazing dinner. The service is fantastic, they will take care of you and bring you anything you like. The food is insanely delicious, and the fact that you can have more of whatever you like is crazy for such a nice restaurant. Before the first course, they encourage you to walk around the kitchen and talk to the chefs, and there are little appetizers placed around. During service, you can walk around, talk to the chefs, watch them prepare the food, and even help out. The mocktail pairing was also great, especially the bees knees. I wish I could go back again tonight!

Be prepared for an event as this isn’t just an ordinary restaurant. It’s more like a house party. The chefs invite you to walk around the entire kitchen and watch what they’re doing, ask questions and even take a taste. One thing to know is that it’s pretty loud in there, so if you have hearing issues like I do, you might be less comfortable. The bar type tables are pretty tall for short people. But the food was stupendous. There are a lot of creative combinations of foods and the presentation is stunning. There is a lot of staff at the restaurant, and they’re always cleaning your place setting. The atmosphere is wonderful, like being in someone’s fancy house. We had so much to try, and it was pretty much all good.

10/10 would recommend going here at least once in your life, it’s well worth the experience (though a VERY hefty price tag, especially if you add any drinks during dinner). The vibe is like no other, very jovial, interactive, staff are so friendly and accommodating to make it the best dinner experience of your life. No shortage of food, you won’t leave hungry. Every seat in the house is a good seat.

That Michelin star is entirely justified! And my God, you leave absolutely stuffed. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Food and drink was phenomenal. You WILL feel in the way walking through the kitchen but they invite you in! Take advantage of the rare opportunity behind the curtain. With cocktail pairings and automatic gratuity to ensure fair staff pay it comes to about $400 per person. For a rare dinner or special event, very worth the experience.
As an aside, if you’re someone who gets a bit overstimulated by long stretches of loud noise, don’t expect a quiet experience. It’s a fun time absolutely and it’s not obscenely loud but if you’re misophonic or have sound sensitivities, maybe consider earplugs.

To eat here, you need to get a reservation. To get a reservation, you needed to have participated in a online stampede at the start of the month when they release the reservations for next month. Tables for 2 are near as impossible as getting Gen-Z teenagers off their phones. Tables of 4 or 6 are far more gettable.
Once you have the reservation, you need to prepare for the meal. The day of your reservation, it is best to starve yourself to work up an appetite; but drink water to expand your stomach. Stop drinking water by 4pm and you can arrive with an empty stomach, ravenous appetite, and full bladder. Their bathroom is classy and elegant so there’s an opportunity to pee out the water.
The Kitchen was formerly in the Arden-Arcade area; this new location is attached to the same building as Selland’s Market (who owns The Kitchen). Pay no mind to the cemetery across the street, nor the construction office separating the unmarked restaurant from the highway 50.
I’ve experienced The Kitchen thrice now, and each time, you’ve had to wait in line. When you get to the front of the line, the person checks your reservation and someone leads you to your table.
The Kitchen isn’t your stodgy Michelin-starred restaurant. It’s intentionally unpretentious. You get to walk around anywhere, into the kitchen, into the prep area, into the wine cellar. Talk to any person. They welcome you to explore and mingle. They don’t turn the tables there’s no hurry to get you out of there for the next guest. The ambiance is that of an 80’s party music, but not loud enough to disrupt conversation.
This time was the Fall menu. There was Act I, Intermission, and Act II. The food at most fine dining places is art. You eat with your eyes as much as you eat with your mouth. The Kitchen is no different, and every bite is artistry. Who thinks to combine cucumbers, mango, and peanuts? Who thinks to combine jalapeno with pineapple and make it taste like flavorful grass? (Not me, for sure).
But that’s the experience with Chef McCown and his team. The peach with candied ginger and lavender on a vanilla frosting… pure genius.
The Kitchen is an amazing experience to be had at least once in life. Your stomach will feel as full as your bank account feels empty.
And it’s worth every penny.

I have NEVER had such an incredible dining experience and that is what it truly is – an experience. You are encouraged to get up and explore the kitchen, the wine cellar and anywhere you can go. All the chefs and staff are there to enlighten, educate, and entertain you with food. I tried dishes I would NEVER order at a traditional restaurant, loved everything. With a tasting menu and small plates, they encouraged you to ask for seconds and thirds – no one left hungry.
