SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —

A culinary gem in Sacramento has received a prestigious accolade.

The Kitchen Restaurant on Hurley Way was just named one of USA Today's 30 Best Restaurants in America.

The restaurant snagged the final spot on that top 30 list, and is completely booked three months in advance.

"That's a good problem to have," said executive chef Kelly McCowan. "It's a really good problem to have."

All the qualities that put The Kitchen in such high demand have now launched it into the national spotlight.

The 24/7 Wall Street reviewed restaurants awarded with a AAA five-diamond rating, or at least a one-star review by the Michelin Guide to select their Top 30.

"My first reaction was like holy cow, this is amazing - just because the restaurants that were on that list. Those are ones that I would never imagine even being compared to," said Esra Oktar, The Kitchen's general manager.

"This is unlike any other restaurant that I've ever been in or I've ever worked in and I've been doing this for like 30 years. The amazing thing about this is that it's like one big gregarious dinner party," McCowan said.

According to McCowan, guests can have as much of any course they want. Guests can also head into The Kitchen's actual kitchen to watch their meal be cooked.

"We've had people crave In-N-Out Burgers and then we brought them a bag and shaved like $200 worth of truffles on it. So whatever our guests desire, we go out of our way to make it happen," McCowan said.

Also making the list were several Bay Area stalwarts, like Saison, Manresa and the French Laundry.
