All of the employees were very friendly and helpful . The food (Appetizers ) were delicious .
I think my favorite was the bartender . He was kind , welcoming, and went above and beyond .
Chefs Table is the best representation of passion and art on a plate. Its not just a dinner, its an experience. The staff is top tier and the food is next level.
Wonderful food with even better service.
Looking for a gathering you should checkout the Chefs Table it is simply fabulous.
I recently hosted my wife’s surprise birthday dinner at The Chef’s Table, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
The event was held in their Speakeasy area, which created the perfect atmosphere—intimate, cozy, and full of character. The space itself is stunning and unique, decorated with vintage collectibles that make it feel warm and special rather than like a typical event venue.
We enjoyed a customized menu prepared by Chef David, and every dish was incredible—beautifully presented, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care.
What truly set the evening apart, though, was the thoughtful and attentive staff. They went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even expect. When I realized I had forgotten batteries for a lighted number sign, they took care of it without hesitation. They also provided candles for the cake, which added such a thoughtful touch.
From the ambiance to the food to the service, everything exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a unique and elegant private dining experience in Milwaukee, I cannot recommend The Chef’s Table highly enough.
Our band Cold Soda Club played for a wedding here last night (8/29/25) and were very impressed. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious and the space had a great vibe. 10/10!
I've had the opportunity to attend The Chef's Table twice. First for a private event and again as part of their Vegas theme night. Both visits were spectacular; the first was very intimate and the second was like a party with friends. The atmosphere of Chef's table is great. We had the opportunity to see all the areas of the venue (including the secret parts). Chef Dave and all the staff go to great lengths to make you feel welcome and they are all willing to do whatever it takes to gain your patronage. I'm thoroughly impressed by Chef's table and what Chef's Dave and others have created. It is undoubtedly the Chef's Kiss.
This place is unique and a visual pleasure. They only do events but it is worth the look
Had the pleasure of attending an event here last weekend and was absolutely wowed. This is a long review, but they deserve it. I have never felt more welcomed, well fed, or cared for as a guest. The experience truly felt curated to perfection. You can tell the entire team at The Chef's Table is dedicated to their mission of originality, deliciousness, elegance, fun, and service to their guests.
Beautiful and totally unique, original decor, made even more special knowing it's been personally collected by the Chef. Such a fun adventure exploring various rooms, and an absolute treat to have varying drink offerings in each bar area.
The food was fabulous. At one point, I mentioned off-hand to the manager Christopher (who greeted us upon entry with complete grace and charm) that I loved the arancini so much I'd like to take some home. Fifteen minutes later, he came up behind me with a warm plate of arancini he said he'd had made fresh for me. I was speechless!
The rest of the team there was also wonderful. Octavio was kind and accommodating, always making the rounds to ensure guests not only had what they needed, but were able to enjoy a clean space as he tidied up anything out of place. David and April in the apothecary downstairs made delectable drinks while chatting and enjoying the evening with us, answering questions and making excellent recommendations. Every single team member I spoke with was accommodating and kind.
I was lucky enough to attend such a lovely event here and look forward to my next opportunity to visit!
Went for a work event, and holy cow! The food was amazing - including dishes I did not expect to enjoy. The wine was perfectly matched to the course. And the ambiance and stories of the facility are worth it in their own right.

What a wonderful experience! This place is really neat, clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is great! Interesting things to look at in every nook and cranny. Chef David is not only an excellent chef, but also a great entertainer. Of course, the food was incredible! Also enjoyed 3 wine pairings. A+++ Highly recommend!
I am a wedding photographer and I love the Chef's Table!
The Chef’s Table is one of Milwaukee’s more intriguing wedding venues, offering a unique space and an immersive culinary experience. Personally remodeled by Chef David Magnasco and opened in 2014, the space was born from his vision to bring people closer to the art of cooking and connection. With over three decades of culinary experience, Chef David curates menus using Wisconsin’s finest seasonal ingredients, sourced from local farms and markets. At the center of it all is a dramatic 28-foot grand table that encourages conversation and community. It’s perfect for smaller celebrations like elopements and micro-weddings, where an intimate group can enjoy the cozy atmosphere as they dine. Or as Chef David says,
“We believe in turning ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences and approach everything we do with creativity, exuberance, and taste.”
One of the venue’s hidden gems is the Lower Level—a moody, eclectic space with vintage flair and the atmosphere of a 1920s speakeasy. Often used for cocktail hour or transformed into a late-night lounge, it offers many unique photo opportunities. Handmade custom light fixtures throughout the venue add warmth and artistry to every corner, elevating the aesthetic with thoughtful design.
The Chef’s Table also includes a private, tree-lined courtyard with a fire pit and plenty of green space—perfect for outdoor cocktails or just enjoying a quiet moment outside. Overall, The Chef’s Table brings warmth, character, and flexibility. It doesn’t just host events—it creates experiences people won’t forget.
Absolutely amazing. You would be crazy to pass up a chance to eat here.
Amazing place
Absolutely wonderful.
