Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Uptown

Beautiful evening. Staff was warm and friendly and the food was fantastic!

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.

It was my first time there. We went for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Setting the reservation was easy, and our table was ready right on time. We got the breaking bread appetizer, very good! Their garlic butter is super good, lots of garlic we all really enjoyed it. My grilled salmon was nicely cooked, not dry, and the seasonal vegetables we great (red onion, carrots, and parsnips) if I had to be nit picky, it seemed like some of the rice was under done, but it wasn't bad. My husband and my mother got one of the weekly dishes, a chicken pesto pasta dish he was very happy with it, and there was more than enough to fill him up and take home leftovers! My father got the fiesta chicken pasta and said he liked it quite a bit. Overall, it was worth the price, I feel.

I’m from out of town and always look forward to meeting cousins for lunch at The Block! Today did not disappoint! In gluten free and love the Yum Yum bowl! Someone else enjoyed the breasted chicken sandwich and another loved the wings and truffle fries. It’s so comfortable sitting in the enclosed patio (and warm). We were never rushed and enjoyed visiting and eating our yummy lunches. The server was great! I’ll be back the next time I’m in town!

The food was very good - much better than expected. Well presented and nicely prepared. I especially liked the Eggs Benedict made with shaved ham, as opposed to a think ham slice. I felt like it was more digestable, enjoyable, and even flavorful. The Avocado Toast was also very good, with radish and cucumber slices mixed in. My wife enjoyed it very much. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and nice. Really enjoyed the brunch, overall. Great neighborhood gem.
