The Kitchen is a landmark, Michelin‑starred restaurant renowned for its “farm‑to‑fork” philosophy and hands‑on, communal dining experience. Since opening in 1991 under chefs Randall Selland and Nancy Zimmer, the team has forged lasting partnerships with local farmers, ranchers and artisans to curate a seasonal six‑course prix fixe menu that highlights the finest ingredients from the Sacramento region. Each evening is a fully ticketed event with a single seating, beginning with welcome hors d’oeuvres and concluding with delicate mignardises—paired, if you wish, with thoughtfully selected wine, cocktail or mocktail flights. With counter‑style seating alongside traditional tables, guests can engage directly with the chefs or enjoy a more elevated perspective, creating an intimate, family‑style atmosphere. Please allow 3½ to 4 hours for the complete experience. Tickets are $195 per person (plus tax and a 22 % House Service Charge), payable in advance. All sales are final; refunds are not available, though tickets may be transferred to another guest.
