Restaurants in Wauwatosa

“Hands down my favorite restaurant in the Milwaukee area, and probably anywhere. You can't get better Indian food in Milwaukee; believe me I've tried almost every Indian restaurant in the area and with every one my fiancé and I say "This is really good, but it's not as good as India Garden." Literally everything I've ordered here has been fabulous.”

“My favorite steak in town…. “Steak au Poivre” can be found at this great French restaurant (French not not haughty) in Wauwatosa. Favorite steak as it tastes great, and presented well. Sliced on an angle and sauced with a red wine black peppercorn reduction, it has just enough char on the outside to balance the medium rare I love inside. Along with taste, I love that it comes with my fav vegetables-haricot vertes and absolutely perfect French fries! So unlike popular steak restaurants, at LaReve you get more than just meat for the list price! Yum + Yay! The desserts? They are as gorgeous as they are delicious! The case is filled with sweet perfection, each one more beautiful than the next! Just so hard to pick which on.! And the macrons are iconic-crisp outside and soft chewy inside, take a few home with you! But what a treat to find a Kir Royale on the menu last night at dinner before a show! I’m sure it’s a direct effect of Emily in Paris Season 3, but maybe I just never noticed it on the menu before! I served these for Christmas ten years ago and when I saw Emily working on an ad campaign, I just knew they’d start to show up on menus soon. Lucky me! Bon Appetite! This place is great for a girls lunch or business lunch, A friends dinner or date night!”

“Our third time and the anniversary couple's first time (55 years!) and we were all thoroughly impressed! The food is so authentic - better than any dish we had when we visited Italy! Made with love and fresh ingredients, served by staff who care, and presentation and waitstaff well worth the price. This is not inexpensive, but for any meal with ambiance, and never disappointing, I recommend it highly. Five star everything. We cannot say enough. Thank you for contributing a wonderful Italian option in Tosa area.”

“Went to Kim for my hubby’s bday and we were both extremely pleased with our meals. Normally it should be too much food to eat in one sitting but he and I couldn’t stop! 😆 Looking forward to going again.”

“Amazing food and great atmosphere!”

“Great selection of taps. Friendly bartenders (Chase) . when in Tosa always visited Lions. Three hundred plus miles away and may not get to visit again. Hope we can tag-off to new visitors to the area. Raise a glass to the crew. When the time is right and lightning strikes go visit the Lions.”

“Been here twice and the service is fast! The food comes out hot and on a busy night will be delivered by a robot!”

“Classic Italian done right!”

“Staff was very attentive. Food was fantastic. My only complaint is the price, but you certainly get plenty of food for what you pay.”

“Chris the bartender is awesome and food was great!”

“Best soul food around in Milwaukee and all around the city ! Definitely hands down the freshest. My food is always hot and fresh! Dressing is the bomb. Fish, yams , Mac , greens is always on point 5 ⭐️”

“The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and the service was amazing!”

“I‘m remarkably not good at branching out when it comes to food (ARFID). The food here was amazing and let me get out of my comfort zone. Lawrence was an exceptional server. When there were other tables needing help, he managed to balance all of us wonderfully.”

“Food was phenomenal!! The atmosphere is lacking. A day of touching up paint, stain, chair nicks and deep cleaning would go a long way for minimal cost and effort. You would have thought it would have been done during the COVID-19 shutdown.”

“I had a great time, my daughter and I were the only people in at the time. Staff was nice,
18% gratuity was a bit weird to me and was my only complaint. Forced tips always seem wrong to me especially since I just got a water.

Besides a gratuity I have 0 complaints and had a great time.”

“Food was so delicious, ambiance was beautiful. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive. I enjoyed my birthday dinner here last night. Wonderful date night experience. Thank you for the hospitality. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Very,very good. I was there as a group saying Goodbye to a Dear Cousin and the staff was amazing.

“I ordered the catfish basket, my wife ordered the snow crab special, and my son the lobster special.

The food was GREAT! Our food was served hot and fresh, and the waitress was very attentive and kept the drinks coming.

I was not feeling well, so I didn't want to overeat, but we will come back!”

“Friendly Staff ✅ Clean Environment ✅ Great Management ✅ Delicious menu options ✅ Drink list I can get excited about ✅ Fun and entertaining ✅ Affordable prices ✅ Let me tell you about our experience - it was top notch from the greeting we received to the customer services to the fun!! We even have to say the restrooms were very clean! Our waitress was on point. She suggested items to us and answered every question. The Manager Christina was so hospitable and I noticed she was always helping wait staff which was nice to see! I cannot wait to celebrate my birthday with friends!”

“Food and services was great definitely going again”

“Great place to take small children! Excellent lattes and sweet staff!”

“Wanted to shout out Adonis! Great customer service. I really hope the food is great. If so I'll be returning as Adonis handled the crowd. Hope he sees this post and know he is appreciated !”

“Amazing ice cream! Love this for Tosa!”

“Good service, friendly atmosphere and excellent food quality.”

“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🌺”

“Great fish fry. Staff very friendly. Amazing selection of food on the board. I also appreciate that they clean the tables well between use. Highly recommend this small but wonderful Wauwatosa treasure!”

“Had the dill pickle chicken salad sandwich and honey vanilla latte. Everything was delicious. Will be going back!”

“Cannot say enough about the food, the staff and the ambiance. Whether it is pregame, post-game, special night out, day drinking and dining or late night cocktails and dinner after a late flight this place never, ever disappoints. Its been that way for years and hope it never changes.”

“Great family feeling. They really go the extra mile. But for me, it just felt like a warm hug if that makes sense! Worth a try for sure. The couple that own it really put their heart and soul into it and it shows. It’s a newer business well worth supporting!”

“Had my first Suburpia sub in 30 years today with my girlfriend Linda. Just as great as they used to be. Will be back for sure.”

“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!!”

“Got their cheesecake jars to celebrate a birthday and OH MY.. they are so incredibly good. We will be back to try more of their offerings for sure.”

“Tanya is an exceptional waitress Her hospitality is above and beyond Definitely recommend her to anyone Very impressed”

“My husband and I have been coming to this eatery since it reopened under new ownership with Carlos who had formerly been the cook at the North Avenue Grill for several years. Though we will not be returning customers to this eatery, it's no reason for me/us to discourage others from eating here. The food is delicious. It's served hot and fresh. And we also prefer to do business with small businesses such as the Midtown Grill. But on our last recent visit, and this was not the first mishap, my food was not served as I had ordered, but I didn't complain. On this last visit, I didn't complain either, but I did exclaim to our wait person that I was unhappy with my platter. The Huevo Ranchero eggs were, and I had asked for two, instead of the three, overcooked, and it was too salty for me to enjoy. Well, as I watched the wait person walk away, I noted that the server engaged the cooks re: my food and from their body language it was obvious that my constructive critique was not received in good form. Shoulders were shrugged, and this implied to me that they didn't care. This behavior told me everything I needed to know re: my customer satisfaction. This is unfortunate because we enjoyed coming to this laid back eatery. We were provided a discount of which I DID NOT ask for, and I tried to explain to the server that it wasn't necessary, but I was left speaking to their back as they chose to walk away. This behavior towards me was rude and disrespectful. If an establishment does not want need or want your business, the wait staff can certainly help to make or break a customer's spirit.”

“okay i’ve gone to a couple different locations and i love love love their coffee and what they stand for as a business. this spot had a lot of nice seating and was super chill.

this time i decided to get a matcha latte with almond milk. at first glance the matcha isn’t super fresh and green, and it’s also not super mixed in - there were chunks of matcha in there. for the quality and price of $7 i would not say it’s worth it. overall i would say the matcha was just okay, but would go back for coffee anytime!”

“My first time going I got the smoothie bowl and it did not disappoint! I love that we have this type of restaurant so close to us! The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend you check this place out 😊!”

“First time in. Marie H. has excellent customer service and was very helpful. She walked me thru everything, answering my questions and giving me recommendations, when I asked. Nice, comfortable, clean atmosphere. Not a long wait time at all. Food was packaged and plated beautifully. I'll definitely be back. 😀”

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.”

“Great Beer selection, even gluten free options!”

“Loved our first experience. It was amazing food and we will be coming back again! Great service and staff.”

“Great food. Awesome service. Cool vibe. I enjoyed my experience. Will go back again.”

“Honestly turmeric latte is my fav ! But they make the best salad in the world I’m like addicted to it !”

“Exceptional service and product! I accidentally ordered online to the wrong location and gave them a call at 6am (!), and let them know that I will still be picking up but not until 6:30. They kindly offered to have it ready at 6:30 instead and on my cup I can see they wrote “don’t start until 6:25”. This is the kind of care and service you don’t get at a Starbucks, and the coffee is amazing too! Only area to improve would be to sell the matcha in stores :)”

“Wow! What a fantastic time I had at Jackson's on Bluemound! Our server, I think her name was Meli, was so attentive to my high maintenance needs. She also recommended a tequila that I have never had and it was so smooth and delicious. I forgot the name so when you see her ask her for some.”

“Fun atmosphere-tons I’d staff! Great on a run/Irish weekend!”

“Stopped in for late lunch yesterday, Friday, perch fry was great, spicy slaw is one of the best around, cool bar ,reasonable prices and good people working there and hanging out.”

“I can not recommend this place enough. Exceptional food and great service. Am addicted to their birria ramen. Their prices are also fabulous.”

“I’ve been a returning customer for the last 4 years & will continue to recommend Black Twig to everyone who hasn’t tried it yet. The bakery items are always delicious & fresh & the customer service is always perfect.”

“Stopped in to pick up some pastries for a client. Katie was a great help, everything looked so good! I love that you have dog treats too!”

“We love it! Kids love the colors and variety of baked goods! Clean and friendly staff!”

“Amazing coffee, and amazing employees! Only coffee I drink! All of our customers now get recommended to check out the Grafton location! They all have had nothing but positive things to say and are grateful for the recommendations!”

“Ordered my pizzas and sticks through delivery. They came hot and fresh within the time frame. I am so satisfied with this location than the other ones. Punctual and delicious food, yum!”

“Great service! They were able to accommodate a large to-go order for me in a quick turn around.”

“Ordered Cashew Chicken and Shrimp Chow Mein for me an my husband. The chicken and sauce was super tasty! Husband liked the shrimp in his chow-mein. Will absolutely order food from here again.”

“First time at Anadyne. This is what a expect from a good coffee shop. Personal and friendly baristas, a good selection of coffees, lattes and teas, a reasonable offering of various fresh baked items and pastries, and a subdued atmosphere where you can have a quiet conversation.

This location is medium size shop, with a long bar like counter for ordering. It has some natural light from large windows in the front, and some more windows in the rear. You can find seating both inside at small tables, or outside on cafe size tables. (the back is secluded which would be nice on a warmer day).

On this visit, I ordered a London Fog Latte, and tried one of their fresh Cinnamon Knots with Icing. They did a great job with the London Fog (little vanilla, little lavender, extra foam). First time trying the Cinnamon Knot, which they warmed up. I really enjoyed all of the dough layers, with generous amounts of cinnamon. (The icing itself was more of a distraction, it was hard and simply flaked off).

From the looks/sounds of things, there are many regulars that stop in for quick up or mug refill. Lots of friendly chatter happening throughout. It appears to be a local favorite.

Would definitely come back.”

“Amazing Food!!! The service was great!!! Just all around good no complaints”

“Souper soup!!! Great owner great service”

“This place is small and quant. The wings were pretty good. Chicken wrap was tasty. & the drinks were ok. I had a Bloody Mary that wasn’t that good. Didn’t finish it. No fixings to go with it.”

“I finally was able to stop at a friend's food truck. I had 3 different tacos, the street corn and my wife had the beef burrito. All of it was excellent! Hats off to you!”

“Great service. Love the food and drinks 🍹”

“This review is actually for the Grand Hall at Hoyt Park. We had a retirement party there and were so pleased with the room. Nick was so helpful and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely rent the hall again for other events in the future!”

“Just had the best breakfast at Ted’s Ice Cream & Restaurant! If you in the area of 62nd & North you have to try it! Excellent Eggs Benedict and huge strawberry covered pancakes! You can see why they have been in business since 1941.”

“We travel in large group as a Team. They were awesome accommodating us, offering our best way to have the most fun! The staff were super friendly and interacted with us throughout the night. The Boys and parents got in on all the fun!! 10/10 would recommend! We need more places like this!!”

“Only all GF place I know of around here!!! And it’s good and it’s got a great atmosphere!!!”

“Great place to bring your dogs.”

“I absolutely love their takeout and delivery! When I order delivery through them, it arrives quicker than estimated. They are super efficient and friendly. I have also ordered take out and had a similarly pleasant experience. The food is also the perfect Chinese Takeout you would expect!”

“Bibi is the absolute best! We absolutely adore her! She makes the bar what it is with her Bubbly personality, tasty bloody Mary’s (even late night) and her fresh friendly conversation. The bar chairs could use more options for the disabled customers they have, but overall A++ for customer service and good quality.”

“Very friendly place and great Staff.Fantastic 🌮on Thursday's.”

“I love their food and their coffee”

“Lovely variety of options- eclectic atmosphere. 👍😁”

“Had great pre-Christmas Old Fashioneds there tonight. It is the most festive atmosphere you’re going find in the city. Great service on a very busy night.”

“Went to Hector’s after the Home Show we used to go here often back in the early 2000s and thought we would try it for old times sake Boy it’s even better than we remember!! The margaritas are great and the food is realllly good Tracie had the carny acasda tacos and I had the Salmon with butter garlic tequila caper sauce It was FN spectacular!! We went here for the 1st time in about 1990 and we so impressed that it still rocks like we remember”

“Great discovery of a great pizza place!”

“Food was delicious! Will be back!”

“This restaurant exists to sell lunches to staff at the nearby hospital complex. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, bowls, baked goods and hot meals for both vegan and omnivores. They have an entire vegan menu, and vegan desserts in their baked goods area are clearly marked. A great lunch option for vegans!”

“Alexis & Denice you guys are amazing customer service is through the roof thank you both for being so kind and polite neither one of you got upset when I ask if I could wait on fresh batch to come out you both are wonderful thank you both I really appreciate you both thank you so much I will be returning to this location in the future”

“customer service was great 👍”

“Since moving to Wisconsin, many people have said to try a sub from Cousins. I got a free sub coupon from a volunteer event, so I figured it was the perfect time to try them out. I got the cheesesteak with extra mayo and a side of curds. The sandwich was great. It was very flavorful, and the bread was the perfect texture. The toppings were stacked but not overloaded, which is how I like it. Overall, I’d gladly get another sub here.”

“You were all AMAZING with our orders today!! Thank you :)”

“This is my favorite location. The food is consistently better than the other locations and I makes me keep coming back. Bonus points for this location having just the correct amount of slices of pizza available that they are not throwing many out but the ones that they are giving to customers are very hot right out of the oven.”

“Waitress was efficient, not especially friendly, but was busy”
