In the heart of Milwaukee's Industrial Fifth Ward sits one of the city's most innovative culinary concepts, the region's first fully private dining restaurant - The Chef's Table.
Reservations for public and private events are required ahead of time, with Chef David Magnasco creating a personalized gastronomic menu, properly coursed and paired with wines, cocktails and the Chef's anecdotes, for each dinner.
In this private, elegant, yet comfortable setting, you and your guests will be our sole focus as the chefs prepare a customized menu and our team executes a night to remember.
The Space: The Grand Table seats up to 30 people. Round tables can be added to the space to make room for 60 for seated dinners. We can accommodate up to 125 guests for passed Hors d'Oeuvres or self-served entrees on the Grand Table.
When you are at The Chef's Table, the space is yours. You are invited to step into the kitchen, ask questions, sample spices, or even put on an apron!
History
Established in 2014.
In 2013, Chef David Magnasco purchased an empty and lofty 10,000 square foot warehouse in the Historic Walker's Point Neighborhood. The space was designed and renovated into The Chef's Table, an elegant, yet intimate setting that gives guests the feeling that they are stepping into the Chef's personal home. The dining room, parlor and open kitchen offer sophisticated charm that is enhanced by the Chef's custom design and décor.
The grand table was constructed using reclaimed wood from the 100-year old building's remodel, and is lit by a chandelier fashioned out of sterling silver utensils. Leaded stained glass windows and wine bottle lighting fixtures embellish this full-service bar. These handcrafted pieces by Chef David are paired with furnishings and ornamental copper kitchenware collected from his antiquing explorations and time spent abroad.
This doesn't feel like a restaurant, and it's not.
This is The Chef's Table.
