    Food is always consistent. The booth though was very tight for 6 people. Table was overwhelmed with plates, glasses, coffee cups. The table we had really would have been better for 4. Need round tables for 6. That is my ONLY complaint. Wasn’t happy when hostess sat us there, even with reservations we had made. Thank you

    My Brother and I had a Glorious Meal for Christmas Eve, which was a special menu for the night. We started out with the Roasted Apple Meatballs and the Bread Board. Both were excellent! Then we decided to order as a takeaway the Charcuterie Board and two of their Entres for later, (Chicken Pot Pie & Baked Macaroni and Cheese) I know, it was crazy but well worth it. Then my Brother had the Truffle and Mushroom Burger with Truffle Fries and I had the Hot Honey Chicken Sand, and the Chef understood the assignment by using Tender Thigh Meat. I was really impressed with the quality. The prices are a little steep but it's Christmas, so I didn't really mind. All in all, a much tasty evening with impeccable service. Will gladly do this next year, or even perhaps the New Years Eve Dinner coming up in a week? Happy Holidays!

    Most lobby restaurants are not the greatest experience. The Milwaukee, however, was a pleasant surprise. From a gracious hostess to a joyful waitress, to a very, very good meal for the four of us. The only food negative was a relatively bland dressing on the Caesar salad. T”My pappardelle was outstanding and the others felt the risotto, burger and salmon were very fine.
