- EElizabethWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoBirch is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The food? Simply some of the best we’ve ever had! Every dish was a masterpiece with flavors that blew us away. You can tell how much thought and care goes into every ingredient. Their in-house pastry chef is a true artist. Make sure to save room for dessert; you won’t regret it! The drinks were fantastic as well—expertly crafted and the perfect complement to our meal. Highly recommend!More infoBirch - MilwaukeePrice: Very Expensive• American• Milwaukee•4.9
- GGretchenWisconsin •8 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe took our family to Buckley's for an after Christmas fine dining experience. It was wonderful! We were guided to our table upon entry to this beautiful spot. The decor is lovely: black and white upholstery on chairs and bolsters. Bluish-green walls and white trimmed woodwork. It is a very lovely place. We had the best waitress who was very conversational and friendly. She was a sommelier, as well and was very knowledgeable discussing wines with our two sons who really know wines. They picked out two bottles during the evening that were perfect for my tastes. She was also very attentive and moved the meal at a perfect speed. Our food was wonderful. We had a few starters--sourdough bread with chive butter and fried artichoke hearts. Very tasty and different. The entrees were the perfect size--not too much food. My son's steak was just right, my scallops dish was just what I wanted, my husband's salmon was delicious. Our other sons loved their meals, too. And desserts were fabulous!More infoBuckley's Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•4.7
