Stopped in for Friday evening dinner with friends. Great wine selection and the dinners were phenomenal. Our table had mussels, pork cheek and Gnudi. All the food was delicious.

We’ve had Caulfield’s on our list to try for a while and we were not disappointed! The space is cute and welcoming and the menu is a combination of small, sharing plates and larger entrees.They have a large wine selection and a nice cocktail list as well.
We started with the chicken egg rolls, followed but muddled with an order of the duck-fat potato wedges then the cheesesteak. We finished it off with the chocolate pot-de-crème.
Hands down the cheesesteak was our top hit. It was phenomenal, the steak was cooked perfectly and the cheese whiz was delightful. The house-made chips on the side were truly a standout part of the dish—perfectly crispy and expertly seasoned.
The rest of our order was equally delicious with a special call-out to the potato wedges (wow!). We will definitely be back!
(As an added bonus they have a ton of great specials including a happy hour and - as we learned today- a date night special for half off bottles of wine!)

I really like Caulfield's, a lot.. the whole "casual fine dining" is exactly what I like in a place.. their happy hours, their wine Wednesdays, and their flatbreads, are all awesome.. I even had their vegetarian mushroom cheese steak and loved it, and I don't normally even order vegetarian.
One thing I thought was just ok was their fish fry. For the money, there are places with better fish fry meals.. The fish itself was good, but the side items were a little lacking. I believe I got coleslaw and house made chips. I don't think it came with bread of any kind.. I think for the money, fries or mashed potatoes could be an option, moreso than potato chips.
Other than that minor complaint, I will continue recommending this place.

The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the service were wonderful! One member of our party has strict dietary restrictions and the waitstaff did a great job of taking note and was knowledgeable about alternatives. Additionally, she took the time to speak with the chef who even made recommendations as to keep both the quality of the food and still get the best flavor despite substitutions. Although we went when the restaurant was quiet, I would think that quality of care and attentiveness extends during all hours!

Nice wine bar! Loved the sauv blanc. The espresso martinis were delicious, not heavy at all. Staff were super friendly and gave us lots of recommendations for the area. Would love to come back and try some of the food, menu sounded delicious.

In an area with lots of bars and several restaurants, Caulfields stood out as a bit more high end. We usually don't choose wine bars, but the menu looked intriguing. Besides the huge wine list, their cocktail menu was also extensive. Two of us chose a boar sausage dish with a fabulous sauce over what seemed like scratch pasta. Our 3rd person had a sandwich with a pork loin and pulled ham, pickles and sauce. Tender and very tasty. The chips were a bit salty for her taste. We also shared Mac and cheese bites over a homemade slaw. Outside was light and crispy, while the Mac was creamy. The slaw was also good. Overall prices are reasonable for the portions. The decor is dark. Black trim, tables and chairs. I bit difficult to read the menu. Bar was noisy but dinning area was quiet overall until a larger party came in. The servers were very attentive. Clean restrooms with more black decor with skulls.Would return to try other options.

Very cozy wine bar. Food is absolutely delicious! Staff is also very nice.
My other half and I frequent Caulfield's for half priced pours on Wednesday and have never been let down by the wine, service or food. Last night we came in with a larger group of 8 and they were fantastic yet again! Highly recommend.

This place is absolutely slept on when it comes to Friday fish fry. The breading is light and soooo crisp. Exactly what I wanted when it comes to fried fish and it is a relief from the extra breaded, air pocketed cod filets I’ve had other places. I think the location and atmosphere is what downtown West Allis needs to attract new, young professionals to the neighborhood. Will be back again for their other unique meals and whiskey selection.

Wine flight, all 4 not distinguished. Tried 3 half off appetizers during happy hour. The bruschetta was high flavor, but the topping was too cold straight out of the fridge. Would have tasted better closer to room temp. The thai egg rolls disappointing. No lemongrass flavor. Without the peanut dipping sauce, would have been a bust. Had I been paying full price for 2 rolls, would have been outraged. The potato wedges in duck fat crispy. Feel free to ask for ketchup. Very clean.
