“Best food in Milwaukee. Inventive small plates with seasonal ingredients make each dinner at Odd Duck a new experience. Friendly and knowledgeable staff make me feel welcomed every time. 10/10“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever had, I’ve had at Birch. I try to visit as often as I can. I usually go for the steak or pork chop. Both are cooked to perfection. Also, the fennel salad, crunchy farm vegetables, and anything involving tomatoes is recommended.“

“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!!“

“Incredible restaurant for an exquisite dining experience. I loved my “Day in the Kitchen” with the Sanford team. The 7 course surprise tasting menu was incredible, and they seemed to incorporate specific foods that we focused during my kitchen experience. The wine pairings were great, and every staff member was kind and thoughtful. Couldn’t recommend more!“

“Peter our server was a wine connoisseur and provide us with amazing service. The food was a work of art and the taste was excellent. We can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Braise is my favorite Milwaukee restaurant. My husband and I go to Braise every chance we get. The ever changing menu is innovative and encourages me to try new ingredients or preparations. And it's the only restaurant where I can say I have enjoyed absolutely every item I've ever ordered!“

“The food was amazing! The staff was incredible! Very relaxed atmosphere. This is now one of my new favorite places for a Date Night with my spouse or even to just gather with my friends. 👏🏽💜“

“I would rate this restaurant 10 stars if I could. My salmon was by far the best I have ever eaten, and I spent 10 days in Scotland two years ago. The restaurant is so clean that it actually sparkles. Street parking can be a challenge but don't let that be a deterrent. You must try this restaurant!“

“Gorgeous interior and bar area. Excellent food! Excellent wait staff and hosts. Great place to eat, chat and catch up with friends“

“We ordered for the first time yesterday at Brothers Gyro & Pizza. The Pizza was the best pizza we had ever eaten. Best crust, best sauce, plenty of cheese and toppings. Perfect! Brother's will be a go to for us for pizza and I can't wait to try the gyro. ❤️“

“The food was delicious, the service was phenomenal, and MJ, one of the owner's was so welcoming and gracious. Would highly recommend!“

“Was never to Oscars before. I didn't expect that I'd be eating the greatest burger I've had in my Life. Meat was thick and juicy. Bun was clean and soft. Onion rings were hot with a firm dense crust. My friend and I were almost in disbelief. Staff was incredibly polite. Clientele, (place was packed), were well-mannered. I'll definitely be back. 10/10“

“Our favorite local restaurant. Unique and delicious menu with the best brunch!“

“Ambiance, service, and food.. all amazing! Some of the best food I have ever had. The white truffle mushroom risotto was hands down the best risotto I have ever had! The carrot cake was something out of heaven! Parkside 23, you didn’t disappoint. It’s so nice to go out and actually have a good meal and good service. Rare find! Will be back for more“

“The Knick has become one of our favorite restaurants to go too since moving to WI a couple months a go. It's a relaxing nice restaurant that has excellent service, fantastic food, and great ambience. We always ask for Chris every time we go there; he makes it such an enjoyable time, if it's just me and my wife; or me and friends. He's one of the best servers I've ever had and I highly recommend you request him! 5 stars!!!“

“I love Palaminos. The ambience is an old pub eatery. Many people eat at the bar, but there is ample seating for groups. The fish fry is the best in the city! There are 3 hearty pieces of cod. You will not go away hungry. The staff is great! definitely put it on your list!“

“Very hospitable and friendly staff. the food is full of flavor that progresses with the meal. The food palate is so complete from start to finish, especially when paired with the right wine or cocktail! I will be back! Bonus, the atmosphere is comfortable, time for a meal and conversation. I can’t recommend this enough, especially if you appreciate quality food, locally sourced food that is home made.“

“My 92 y/o aunt treated us at the plaza today. Great food and amazing service from chef Peter and crew. Thank you so much for the memorable experience“

“Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“

“Food is still very good even though they have a new Executive Chef. I will definitely go back to dine again.“

“Always love coming here every time we’re back in Milwaukee. The staff are ALWAYS over the top friendly and the food has NEVER been bad. The coffee is excellent also and they have oat milk creamer too! The breakfast casserole is my go to, but the brioche French toast and ham and cheese croissant are both fantastic as well.“

“Best restaurant to hit before a bucks game, amazing staff. Ask for Matt he’s the man🔥“

“Very nice family operated breakfast place. Staff is attentive and easy to talk too. Service was quick. Food was flavorful, and the pancakes were delish. They even gave us recommendations on where to get cheese upon us asking. Its refreshing that mom and pop places like this still exist versus going to a franchise place.“

“We love the restaurant! They had great food, reasonably priced drinks and friendly customer service. The owner was especially kind and welcoming on karaoke night“

“Love the Bosch“

“Best burgers and friendliest staff around.“
