Bruno’s Chef’s Kitchen

Love this place!!! It was truffle night last night. White truffles on the gnocchi and black truffles on our sole. Definitely a good meal every time. I knocked off a star since we tried going the night before and they were closed at 7:45 even though posted hours are 8:30! Apparently this is a frequent happening that definitely is no bueno. :(

This was a Awesome dining Experience the Food was Excellent so so Deliciousoso Thanks to Chef Bruno‼

Absolutely amazing food. The presentation is a sight to behold. Very artistic and colorful. The food was sheer perfection. I had the steamer clams unfortunately, they ran out of bread. I would have loved to dip some in the clam liquid. I had the filet mignon. Cooked beautifully medium rare. My partner order the gnocchi. Soft pillows of potato. Also ordered the Weiner schnitzel. Succulent and tender. If you want a five star meal come and eat here. You will not be disappointed.

This is my wife and I’s now favorite «Date place» for going out without the kiddies. The menu changes every month, with that in mind I had the Chicken Schnitzel and my wife had the Halibut in Plum Sauce Curry. Whoa! Presentation was amazing and the Scnitzel was how I make it. Had a bite of the wife’s Halibut and it was very tasty and both meals cooked to perfection. This place is not cheap, but in the end you get what you pay for and that is well presented food and very well prepared food at that. Don’t let the parking fool you as there are other businesses around there and one may be lead to think the place is packed, but check inside first. Service was great and friendly and we can’t wait to go back.

Based on having dinner at the Chef’s Kitchen last night I think it is currently the best restaurant in Eugene.

First time here and we have found our place! Hand written menu adds to the unique flavor of this place! Quaint outside seating available and the service was great also. Had the plum curry halibut and a Cosmo which was as good as the food. We will be making this a regular place to enjoy a meal.

This was our first time here. I loved the patio and loved the European feel with the handwritten menus. I ordered the filet and my husband got the salmon. I let the waitress know I had a severe gluten allergy and she seemed very accommodating. I got my food and there was a fried tomato on my plate, which wasn’t in the description. They didn’t offer to make me a new plate and just told me not to eat it. Luckily it was on the edge of my plate because I really hate being THAT person. The portions were huge, which can be a good and bad thing. My meat was good, but nothing super memorable. The salmon, however was amazing! I would go back to have fish! Tender, flaky, flavorful, and fresh. I do have one observation: they really like to decorate their plates with fruit of all kinds, and it doesn’t always make sense to do so. Having watermelon and cherries on a meat dish really didn’t do much for me taste wise or presentation wise. I do plan on going back for another try! Most likely for the fish!

Hand written menus, that change all the time as far as I can tell. Interesting offerings the night we were there. Several fish dishes, I had the Salmon, others in the party had the Halibut. One of our members chose a nice salad and our hostess had the Pork Shoulder Enchiladas.
Bountiful bread and butter. The bread was fresh, and the butter was NOT hard! (Don’t you hate it when they refrigerate the butter!)
Super presentations on all the meals and the portions were very big for a French restaurant. (At least any I’ve ever dined at.)
Mine was cooked just right for my taste, but I tend to like my fish cooked on the well side and it was. The mushroom sauce was delightful and it did not overwhelm the fish. (and it was not drowning in sauce.) All of our party enjoyed there entries and salad.
We all enjoyed coffee and desert. I had the Flan, it was not remarkable, but then is Flan EVER really remarkable? The other desserts were not too exciting either. So that was the only real down side to the meal. The coffee was fresh and a nice dark roast. They had both regular and decaf ready but not old.
We arrived at 7pm. The atmosphere was nice but small. Somewhat «kitch» but not overdone. The evening meal seemed well attended but there was an open table or two. We had made reservations. We felt in no hurry to leave, and lingered and enjoyed our seemingly endless and prompt coffee refills.

«We’ve been doing this for twenty-​one years, and we’re tired. We just don’t want to do it anymore.» Quote from hostess as she saw us out. Wow.
I have celiac and was recommended this restaurant by a local host (we’re in from Chicago). My husband and I walked there, arriving about 7:45 pm on a Saturday, the sun still shining. I was so excited after reading the website and seeing that each meal is prepared personally — traveling with allergies it’s usually cook your own food or go hungry.
They seated the people ahead of us, but then the chef yelled out from the back that he was «done! Not taking anymore! Didn’t want to be there ’til 10!» ??
The hostess apologized and saw us out, even after I explained I can’t eat anywhere else. I actually cried walking back, feeling so defeated. Just incredibly rude. If you’re tired of being in the restaurant business and serving dinner, then close.

I have nothing but great things to say about this spot! With the menu changing every week it’s hard to review a restaurant but they have delicious fresh food. Tonight my razor clams were done to perfection with a perfect sauce! My husband got the sashimi and it was also seared to perfection with a great sauce as well. I got the Tangerine Scallops and they were very fresh and cooked to the perfect texture. We had two girls waiting on us and they were both helpful with explaining the menu and nice as well. Will definitely be back to try more of his menu!

The food was incredible for sure! We were pretty shocked about the Seattle prices, and the drive-​thru pick up. Yes I was informed beforehand there’s no linen napkins and the silverware is normal restaurant ware. We had three entrees, one glass iced tea, the tab was $ 90. It was amazing gourmet, the presentation is like no other, and I’m sure the cooks cut the food on the spot. Just beware before you go that the plates are $ 25-​$ 35, everything is ala carte, except for water. I’m just thinking because of the location the overhead probably isn’t like downtown, so why the really high prices?

We had a big table and every single person loved their food (like 9 people). They absolutely thought the food was amazing; my dish was fabulous but had one fundamental flaw. The rabbit lacked freshness. But it had this creamy shallot sauce that took me to another world! So good!
Two ladies waited on us. There was a handsome, flaxen haired, mature woman who waited on us and was charming as hell. Very young, also fair haired, other waitress was a bit liberal with her manners. Cringe.
The food is cooked with incredible expertise, small flaws aside. There are some vagaries in service but all together totally worth it! Can’t wait to go back!

What a great find via Unilocal!Daughters have been going to school here over the course of 6 years and had never heard of it. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The chinook salmon melted in your mouth. The servers were ridiculously nice, helpful and efficient. Quaint little setting. Oh and the portion size of everything was nothing I’ve seen in a long time. Clearly a good value as well. Would definitely and will go back. Unfortunately our last year… graduation right around the corner!!!

The best food in town. Bar none. Always great. Seems a little expensive for a casual restaurant but the couple owners are very nice and accommodating. It’s the only place we dine out.

I’ve been here a handful of times and have always had an amazing experience: fresh, expertly-​prepared food, amazing service and very nice ambiance. The menu is ever-​changing, seasonal and quite indulgent at times; some of the highlights were the gnocchi, scallops and salmon dishes — they often (if not always) have some gnocchi dish and the sauces are incredible. The seafood has been so well-​cooked every time — and my boyfriend is very finicky about his seafood. The owner’s wife was very gracious and recommended great wine pairings with our entrees. This is a favorite of ours for date night although I know they do a carry-​out business as well so I might have to keep that in mind for our next stay-​at-​home date night!

Best Italian food I’ve ever had, Hands down! It is pricey but you don’t even blink an eye once you have taken your first bite. Lovely Wine too
Great Service, Cute Cozy place, and I like supporting a local family with amazing kitchen skills!

Food was excellent, generous servings, beautifully plated and expertly sauced. Interesting tasty wine choices. Best service we have had in Oregon. It was expensive, but totally worth every dollar. Outstanding, friendly, very professional service. My new favorite in Eugene!

Bön Eating, indeed.
Bravo Chef Bruno for creating your own place, a chef’s kitchen, where you decide the menu, the quality of the ingredients and the presentation without the opinions of middle hotel management bean counter.
Last night was by far the best meal I have ever been served in Eugene, Oregon…
For those that have commented on the vocals you hear coming from the kitchen, know this… A successful chef is like football team, but he is the owner, coach, offensive and defensive coordinator, and the quarterback. He has more passion and respect for what he is doing than most other professions out there. He is solely responsible for the end product and your enjoyment. Frankly I love to hear a Chef being vocal. It means has a keen eye on his staff and what they are doing as well as what he is trying to present to his customers.
If you ever have a «bad» meal here, I bet it will be the best tasting bad meal you have ever had. \_​/​Cheers to the Chef.

This is possibly the worst place to eat in this great little town. The food was drenched and the flavors didn’t mix well. The plate was covered in way to many garnishes.
If you need a natural «diuretic» this is the spot! The chef is lazy and has very little skills in the kitchen. We were rushed to pay our bill by 9 on a Friday night! The waitress had to interrupt our meal. Huge waste if $$$ it’s to bad, the place is cute and quant, but lacking in every other department. Will never return!

The food is delicious, the presentation spectacular, and the service very personable. We will be back!!! This place is a secret in the Eugene area and chef is incredible
