We had a lovely dinner with my in laws. The staff was attentive but not overbearing, the cocktails were delicious (they even pleased my FIL!), and the food was outstanding - I especially appreciated the human portion sizes so we didn’t have to take leftovers! We had the gravlax, Caesar with pickled herring, lamb roast, scallops and bison, and all were really tasty!

A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

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.
