Best Casual Restaurants in Dinkytown

Had date night here with my boyfriend and we loved it. I’ve been here before but he hadn’t and he was VERY impressed. We opted for seafood options (lobster pappardelle and salmon) instead of steaks and even these dishes were phenomenal! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

From drinks to dessert our food and drinks were outstanding. Service was exception and we really appreciated that our server allowed us to sample the wine before we ordered a glass. She also surprised us with a birthday candle with the dessert we ordered and a gift code for the picture booth! Again, she made it an exceptional experience for all four of us! We will definetly be back.

Wonderful experience and will definitely be back! Started with sticky ribs to share (except me, not GF), I had a wedge salad - both were amazing. Best wedge I’ve had& ribs fell off the bone good. Had filets and salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini sides. Steaks were best we’ve had (better than Manny’s or Murray’s IMO), salmon was a bit chewy & miso flavor was “interesting” with salmon. Not my daughter’s favorite but still good. Service was great & as many have mentioned it is not quiet. Hard to hear sometimes. Casual dining with great food. Came home smelling like I was at a campfire though.

A very good combination of well prepared meats with a salad bar and good service. The only bad point was the music, which was a little bit louder than what I’d like to have. Don’t miss the cheese bread and cooked bananas they serve.

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.
