House Kitchen & Bar, Sacramento CA - In the Capitol Mall
House Kitchen & Bar was created by chef/owner Chris Nestor, after having a vision and seeing it come to fruition with his other Sacramento restaurant, Ink Eats & Drinks. This time around, he was driven to create an
[+]entirely different atmosphere and concept: classic comfort food in an upscale, yet casual, environment.
His passion for great food and impeccable service is evident. The staff at House Kitchen & Bar have been working diligently since January 2010 to please all of their guests, and to ensure that every taste bud and expectation is satiated and exceeded.
​
Our goal is to create classic comfort food with a contemporary twist, while exceeding the service expectations of all of our guests. We truly want everyone to feel as if they are a guest in our "house". If crunchy double-dipped fried chicken or creamy 5 cheese mac n' cheese doesn't appeal to you, our chefs are more than happy to create something special just for you!
