“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The wine selection was fantastic, and every dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. The eggplant appetizer was absolutely fabulous, and my stuffed filet was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. What impressed me most was that the kitchen customized my entrée on a busy Saturday night—something you rarely see, even at high-end restaurants. My best friend ordered the Frutti di Mare, and it was outstanding as well. The portion sizes were very generous, and we both left completely satisfied. What truly sets Safina apart is the ownership and service. Both owners came to our table multiple times throughout the evening to make sure everything was perfect. They were even helping bus tables and assisting the staff. That level of hands-on hospitality is something you simply don't see very often, even at many five-star restaurants. The food, service, atmosphere, and attention to detail were all top-notch. Safina has earned loyal customers in us, and we can't wait to come back! Bonus: Sal is awesome!!!!”

“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.”

“We were up in Milwaukee for the weekend for a baseball tournament and my family wanted Indian food for dinner. Wife did a research and found this place (Antique Indian Restaurant). It’s a “Dhaba style” restaurant with great food. My son had samosa (anppatizer) and we all had Lassi. Our main meals were… “Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Spicy Goat Curry and Goat Bryani”. Definitely, great food, good service and not as pricey as some of the other Indian restaurants. Would stop by again if we happen to be around the area. AG”

“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.”

The chicken was hand breaded and was so moist. Also got their Cheese Curds and they were delicious. Service was quick and the workers were very friendly. Also kudos to them working in their trucks when the temps were around 90. They did an amazing job. Would definitely recommend them for your event and I will try them again in the future.”

“Excellent recent experience. We visited on a Thursday afternoon. That made our tour group very small, just two adults. Very welcoming greetings with the staff. The best part is the presentation of the tour. If you enjoy great presentations of history, neat tidbits you might not get from videos or books, this is definitely for you. Looking forward to return visits with friends and family. Highly recommend.”

“Milwaukee’s quintessential sports bar. Met a friend here prior to the Brewers game versus the Cubs. Paid $20 to park(a gameday thing) and got a $20 voucher for food and drink. We ordered lunch and a couple drinks.
I had the Western Burger and my buddy had the Prime Rib Sandwich and we both got Tots on the side. Typical Sysco style bar food. I felt pretty solid with my selection although my buddy felt like his sandwich wasn’t worth the cost. Various sports on every TV screen in the bar and back room.
Our waitress was very attentive and was really working her section very well. Glasses stayed full and everything we needed was there before we knew we needed it.
Grabbed the free shuttle to the game.
All in all a solid experience…”

“I’ve been wanting to try this place FOREVER. And let’s be honest — I’m perimenopausal and time is not exactly slowing down for me. So for our anniversary, I took no chances. Reservations open 30 days in advance, and you better believe I was poised like an Olympic athlete at 4:00 pm sharp when they dropped. The only slot left? 5:00 pm. The early bird special. Listen — we will dine at 4:37 pm if that’s what it takes. Book it. First of all, the vibe? Chef’s kiss. Mellow, classy, a little dark, lounge-y in that “you feel cooler just sitting there” kind of way. The velvety, cushy seating made me want to cancel all my plans and just live there indefinitely. And then… Carli enters the chat. Mad. Props. To. Carli. She greeted us like we were VIPs, guided us like a culinary fairy godmother, and made recommendations with the confidence of someone who knows she’s about to change your life. We trusted her immediately — as one does when greatness appears tableside. We kicked things off with shared apps: Waygu as Rockfire (buttery, melt-in-your-soul magic), Royal Flower Dumplings, Kinnickinnic Crisp Shell, and the Nobu Spicy Salmon Crispy — which Carli brilliantly suggested we sub with tuna. A visionary. An icon. A leader. Each dish somehow outdid the last. That Waygu? I will be dreaming about it for months. It was so indulgent it should require a warning label. I’m fairly certain food p0rN was invented for that exact bite. Then came the noodle debate: Pad Thai vs. Drunken Noodles. Carli said she prefers the drunken noodles, and at this point she had not steered us wrong once — so obviously we followed her lead. Now let me just say, I once took a cooking class in Thailand and made drunken noodles myself. I’ve tasted the real deal. And this version? Hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S. No question. We added shrimp, and they were light, juicy, perfectly cooked — not a single rubbery overachiever in the bunch. Absolute perfection. We wrapped it up with a hazelnut tiramisu situation. I don’t remember the exact name because we inhaled it in approximately 18 seconds. It never stood a chance. Long story short: completely, wildly worth it. My boyfriend and I live in Madison and we both agreed we will absolutely be making the drive down just to eat here again. We came for our anniversary. We left planning our next visit. And Carli? She deserves a raise, a trophy, and possibly her own holiday.”

“Huge Thanks to Indeed Brewing Company! My son recently rented a private room at Indeed Brewing for his wife’s 30th birthday, and it was the perfect space for our celebration! The room comfortably accommodated our group of 40-65 guests, and we truly appreciated the flexibility to bring our own snacks. Having access to the microphone and sound system was a great bonus. A special shout-out to Courtney and Josh, our bar service hospitality team—they were super friendly, approachable, and attentive, checking in throughout the event to ensure everything was just right. Thank you for the fantastic experience! Keep up the great work—we will definitely be back!”

Wine Bar • $$
“We had a great meal here last night. Great cocktails and their limited wine list fit did the trick. We ordered everything to share. Watermelon salad, spring rolls, tamarind carrots and the beef satay. All outstanding. So fresh and vibrant. Dessert was also delicious. I also thought the prices were very reasonable. Can’t wait to come back!”
“We visited for a birthday party. The staff took great care of us, and we had fun designing greens to challenge each other. It was a perfect way to end the evening!”

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.”

Thank you for a great first experience!!!”

“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.”

“Royal Street MKE formally Daq Shack MKE underwent a beautiful transformation inside but the heart, quality of food and service are the same...wonderful!

Absolutely go if you're in Milwaukee try all the flavors they provide with the daiquiris.”

“Coffee shop/bar - happing place. Smell of Coffee is wonderful, lively conversation, bright windows (look like doors open during summer), but back area is darker with a more intimate feeling. Sampled several beers and enjoyed all of them, especially the Bruv - it tastes just like an ambrosia salad (I know, not really beer like, but perfect for dessert). Staff was all very friendly.”

“Steak and scallops were exceptional. My server was very attentive and always smiling. The flow and timing of service and food was very good. A little in the pricey side but I’d rather spend a little more for great food than spend less and be disappointed. I was by myself and ate near the bar and there were three loud drunk guys there that could have used some redirection. Other than that, a near perfect evening.”

“I recently ordered a small sausage, pepperoni, onions, and mushroom pizza. It was delicious. It was my first time ordering from Hubs😇. The crust was buttery and crispy, and the toppings were cooked to perfection. We ate the other half the next day by warming it up in the oven and it was even better the next day 🥰Thank you”

“I must share my experience with Gard’s on the corner of Center and Lisbon. While construction makes it a wee bit hard to park at present, our dining and bar experiences rival many places in Tosa we’ve frequented. You may want to beat the coming deluge of customers on this one, my friends, because once construction in the vicinity has ceased, it’s going to be a choice of: a.) valet parking; b.) walking or bicycle riding; c.) standing room only; d.) to-go, or; e.) Uber Eats, or similar delivery, to anywhere in the Milwaukee Metropolitan and surrounding area. You have been told: THE BEST FISH FRY/DINING-AT-A-BAR IN MILWAUKEE. Once Milwaukee Magazine and local news stations tout this delictable relaxing friendly dining scene, it’s party over if you don’t establish a rapport with your beautiful friendly bartenderess Shannon, your totally proficient and stunning waitress Jennifer, and the experts in the kitchen with whom we have yet to make their acquaintance. So, you can tell no one, lest your spot in the dining room or bar is taken. See you there. David Wahlberg (P.S.) Don’t tell my cousins Chef Paul, Donnie, or Mark, you will not be dining at Wahlburgers any longer, because you have discovered Gard’s on Lisbon and Center. [ told ‘em and I no longer get the family discount.) Come as you are and be wowed as I am each time I visit. The patrons are as friendly as the staff. See you there. Dave Wahlberg 👍✌️😉”

“Baithak of Punjab is the restaurant you need to visit to experience the best Pakistani food on Milwaukee's south side. Abdul and his family are so welcoming and their establishment is a great addition to the neighborhood. Upon entering the restaurant you'll be hypnotized by the aroma of the food being prepared. I highly reccomend the Chicken Tikka Masala, Baithak Platter, Nana and the exquisite dipping sauces. If you're ever in the area of South Howell Avenue and East Bolivar Avenue I encourage you to stop in and taste for yourself all the deliciousness Baithak of Punjab has to offer.”

“Definitely an experience right up my alley! i was glad we went for lunch when it was slower so we were able to walk through the whole place and take in every room! One of a kind uniqueness! Food was good, prices were no more, no less than traditional restaurant and the atmosphere was 100% better! My only disappointment was that they were out of all their merchandise and you can't order anything online. We are visiting from Central NY so it's not loke I can go back to get what I wanted. i would have easily spent over $100 o. merchandise alone. that being said, I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a fun, meal that is a complete experience!”

“was there yesterday for the st patrick's day parade. Great experience till we moved in side. the waitress was more concerned about her getting tips and wasnt polite when I asked to turn up a game that was on. she spent more time changing our check then getting two beers. we got the check before the beer and was forced out by her racism and anger towrds a white couple. if the roles where reversed she would be up and arms. so we got forced to leave not by words by actions. we got disappointed i wouldn't recommend going there for an event like a parade at least not in side the out side tables where hard to sit in and the benches where if not loose then broken. dont expect out side service you hve to go inside to order and pick up everything. the bartender was spot of if you want a shot and a beer. the inside service sucked”
