Chef’s Kitchen — Restaurant in Stevens Point

As someone from Eastern Europe, I found my experience at this restaurant quite frustrating. The dishes, which should have been familiar and comforting, were nothing like what I grew up with. For example, borscht, traditionally a rich meat-based soup, was served without any meat whatsoever. Shuba, a classic layered salad with herring, was instead reimagined as a tower of vegetables and salmon—completely missing the mark.

I did request the chef to come to my table, as it’s common in Eastern European culture for chefs to check in with diners and ensure everything is to their liking. Unfortunately, my request was ignored, and the chef never came out.

Additionally, the drinks were disappointing—a small amount of alcohol served with ice, which didn’t feel like anything special. On top of that, the prices were far too high for the quality of the food and experience.

I can’t recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic Eastern European dining experience. It’s clear that the chef's approach doesn’t align with the traditional flavors and hospitality I expected.

Thank you for your response. I want to clarify that I was never rude during my visit and always made an effort to be polite in my interactions. If the manager was indeed available, I would have appreciated the opportunity to speak with them directly to address my concerns. I always strive for respectful communication and would have welcomed a conversation to resolve any issues I had at the time. I value your feedback and hope we can find a way to move forward in a...

From the front of the house to the back, Leah and Cristian (plus their staff!) make every single guests' experience incredible!

We were lucky to get last minute seating on Saturday, last night of the Brick Oven Pizza menu and oh boy did we have a great time! The drinks were expertly crafted, from the Martinis to the Barkeep's Mystery drinks - we all enjoyed our cocktails. For dinner we chose the House and the Caesar Salads and found them both to be flavorful and crisp. Our brick oven pizza options were the Black & White and the Quack & Blue - oh my goodness! what incredible 'zas. The Black & White was vegetarian and had just the right amount of truffle oil to make it incredibly tasty. The Quack & Blue clearly shows that Chef really knows how to prepare and serve duck in a manner that keeps you coming back for more!

Thanks to the entire staff of Chef's __ Kitchen for creating a wonderful evening for us, an impromptu birthday celebration, that reminds us of why we don't need to leave Point for great food!

Special shout out to Leah, from Mona, for accommodating us and for giving us that little bit of extra leeway with our daughter. You sure know how to make an...

Chef's Kitchen is Chef Christian's new rotating restaurant to allow him to change things up without opening new restaurant. The current yearly(? I don't know how long it will be) theme is Italian. The menu changes much like his other restaurants. There are seasonal salads, focacia bread pizzas, and other tasty openers. The main meals are pastas they make in house and they are so good. The homemade marinara you just want to eat it on garlic bread. They need to add garlic bread and marinara to the menu and I need to eat it all. They use fresh produce from their garden at Father Fats in many of the dishes (as the season permits). The staff here is very conscientious of food allergies. If you let them know they will work with you create a phenomenal meal that suits your dietary concerns. The service is excellent, as you might expect from one of Chef Christian's restaurants or at least as I have come to expect. They also have rotating signature cocktails. The Basita was a refreshing and complex drink. I really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. It is located in the location of the former El Jefe's and aside from missing the old Day of the Dead mural it was an...
