Does The Kitchen Deserve Its Ranking Among Best Restaurants In The US?

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - The Kitchen, a stand-out restaurant in the Sacramento area, is getting some national praise after it placed 30th on a 24-7 Wall Street Review study of the best restaurants in America.

In order for restaurants to have been considered for the list, they had to have earned a triple-A five-diamond rating, and at least a one-star review on the Michelin guide.

Response to news of the restaurant's honor was mixed, with some people saying they love the food and the experience, while others saying it didn't impress them.
