Furniture & Millwork for Michelin-Starred and Fine Dining Restaurants
PhillBuilt has built custom furniture for two of Sacramento's Michelin-starred restaurants: The Kitchen and Localis, both recognized with a star in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide California. We design and build tables, seating, bars, host stands and accent pieces for fine dining rooms where every detail is noticed, in our own shop in Rancho Cordova, California.
Talk to us about your restaurant
The Kitchen, Sacramento
The Kitchen, Sacramento's Michelin-starred restaurant, commissioned a collection of solid white oak furniture for its dining room: tables, open-arm benches, slim consoles with tapered legs and a fluted pedestal plinth. Every piece was built with precise joinery and hand-selected grain to match the restaurant's refined, dark-paneled room while standing up to nightly service.
Localis, Sacramento
For Localis, the Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant in Midtown Sacramento, we built dining tables, a long serving bar and a host stand from Claro walnut slabs that the owner had personally milled and stored for years. One large dining table preserves a natural void in the slab with a CNC-shaped acrylic inset for a seamless, glass-like effect. Each slab was flattened, processed and finished to keep its natural movement while reaching a fine dining level of refinement.
What fine dining rooms need from furniture
- Materials with meaning: hand-selected solid hardwood, and pieces built from a restaurant's own wood when it has a story
- Comfort for long meals: seat heights, depths and table clearances planned for multi-course dinners
- Details at arm's length: joinery, edges and finish quality guests notice up close
- Durability for nightly service: finishes and construction chosen for constant use and cleaning
- A coordinated room: tables, seating, bars, host stands and accent pieces built by one shop so they belong together
