“Our server Deon was great and every single thing we tried tasted sooooo good. We got a bunch of appetizers, a few different shakes and desserts and the wings, a burger and the pineapple Express burger with a chicken patty instead. This is a a place you could easily take non vegans and they would love it too. Highly suggest this place. Try everything you can!“

“Our first trip to Zarlettis downtown Milwaukee was very enjoyable. My husband and I celebrated our 38th anniversary here and were greeted with two glasses of complimentary champagne. Very nice touch. Our server was outstanding and made sure we were taken care of at all times. I chose the bolagnese with the housemade papparadelle pasta. So deliscious! Hubby had the short ribs over risotto and they were outstanding. We also shared a pancetta shrimp skewer, a pear gorgonzola salad and had the creamy chickpea soup. A very nice meal followed by a shared house made tiramisu. I would put this one in my top 5 list and I eat tiramisu every chance I get when available. We also were served bread with traditional olive oil, pepper and parmesan. Given it was a celebration we also enjoyed a nice bottle of pinot grigio and a barolo special red. The restaurant was cozy and perfect for our celebration. Thanks to all the staff for treating us so well. We would visit again for sure!“

“Our experience there was absolutely amazing! The environment was inviting and the food was to die for. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for our BEST dining experience ever.“

“Overall experience was great. Started off with the fried calamari as an appetizer which was to die for and good portion. I had the filet mignon and my husband had the ribeye. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted juicy and tender. We shared the asparagus and crab Mac and cheese for our sides. (Sides are portioned to be shareable). The sides were great as well. My only suggestion is providing clean plates for your sides since they are shareable. The steak comes on a plate covered in au jus which is delicious, but I didn't want to plate my mac n cheese on that plate and the bread plates were a little small. Not a big deal though! Service was great, ambiance was cozy. Highly recommend!“

“We were very impressed with our guide Keirsten.She was over the top with our SPICY group. Shakers accompanied our wounded leg toury so she could seek out ghosts with us. Sampling a few amazing menu items and cocktails prior to walk about. Shakers hands down made the best Old Fashions we had on our trip to the mid-west.Thank you for letting us make memories at Shaker’s 10/10“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and the bartenders make this the perfect neighborhood Irish bar. Great atmosphere and the food is top notch. Great portion sizes and a good value. A must for Friday Fish Fry, it is fantastic! And the chicken wings are out of this world. 5-stars for O'Lydias!“

“Thank you Shelly, Michael and the entire team for a wonderful 70th birthday celebration for my husband! Our party of 10 was seated even before we expected, we were treated like family, all 10 different orders arrived within minutes of each other and the food is always amazing!! THANK YOU!!“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“What a great find. Nice place, great energy. The service from hostess, bartender, waiter, and food runner was prompt, polite, and sincere. Food was excellent. The queso was flavorful, melty, and delicious paired with the lovely bread, and assortment of fruits. The empanadas were the obvious stars of the show - soft billowy outer shells that had a nice bite, filled with delicious stuffings. Dessert was great as well, opting for that sinful cookie bar with ice cream.“

“The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! Our server, Victor was fabulous! Super helpful and kind. Highly recommend! We will be back. Thank you!“

“We have been here several times and each time, it's been great! Amazing food especially the kefta kabob!“

“The food is excellent but the service is even better! My family loves ordering from Fatty Patty because the menu is diverse enough that there’s something for everyone. They are also fantastic, kind humans!“

“My go to is usually a almond chai or Jolly Green Jenny, a single maple-syrup laced crepe and a side of tofu scramble. Together they satisfy all my sweet salty and savory cravings with a comforting hot beverage. It’s always civilized in there, everyone keeping their voices to a mellow decibel and the greenery all over in the living walls is over the top beautiful. In the summertime it’s gorgeous outside. Michael and his staff are always hospitable and polite and you feel like they’re family taking care of you. It’s a terrific little gem tucked away in a sweet spot. Go there for healthy ish eats but mostly go because it feeds your soul.“

“We come here regularly and love everything from the delicious food to the friendly staff & wonderful owners. I was raised in Kona & this feels like home. Casual atmosphere where you feel like family- but can leave your slippas on! And great island treats & gifts. March of 2025 they have a $10 the King Kamehameha Platter and it's a great way to sample all their dishes. my Favorites are the poké & CharSiu pork🌺“

“We had an awesome experience last night! Food was some of the best we’ve ever had, cocktails were fabulous and the service was outstanding! Ali our waitress, was on point throughout the entire evening. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again!! Thank you for making my birthday dinner so lovely and delicious 😋 💯🤩“

“Everything here is always so good.

Chicken pot pie: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Veal meatballs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had

Shortrib tacos: ⭐⭐ These were fine I guess, but the meat was flavorless and the sauce was light on flavor or heat. The excess of pickled onions couldn't even overcome the lack of flavor. I just mixed the meat in with the meatballs

Bacon hot honey bread: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Drinks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Mmmmmm mmmm! Oysters, the catfish, red beans and rice, the bread pudding just all on point!“

“We used cranky Al’s for our wedding and we got SO many compliments! They were delicious even later into the evening, the tasting was amazing, communication was great, and they were very transparent about pricing which seems to be difficult to find in the wedding industry. This is the go-to place if you want donuts for your Milwaukee area wedding!!“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“I’m a frequent FreshFin customer, and I was extremely excited that R & R had gluten-free sweet shoyu!! 😱 My custom bowl was perfect, and there are a lot of really interesting bowls on the menu. Lots of options for different styles, a variety of sides, AND boba tea! ✨ Super friendly staff too, I’m new to the area excited I have a new spot!!“

“Wife and I went for a long walk along the east side then decided to look for a sushi restaurant. Found this place close by. We ordered 5 different rolls and some veggie Stirfry w a side of rice. Everything was excellent! We had a great experience. Reasonable prices. We would go back.“
