Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Shorewood

This is the second time coming to Blue Bat, the food is super yummy, poke nachos are a must! Our sever Bridget was awesome with accommodations and so sweet. We will definitely be coming again next time we are in town. :)

Great food. Great waiter… they were out of the bottle of wine we wanted, he suggested another that was really good and half the price.

Delish Valentines day meal -- I took the famed whitefish and as usual it was superb while my partner took the full rack of ribs and found it very tasty, tender with a good rub. Service was a bit slow at our table for some reason - as tables nearby turned over 2 times! - but it was not a deal breaker as we enjoyed the time to chat and never felt rushed out despite the waitlist of people and the onset of blizzard that evening. The guys busing the table were on spot with water refills and extra garlic chips! The meal was accompanied by tankards of Pandle Brau - their specialty beer - a great evening!

My wife and I are big fans of Birch, which is why we dined here on Valentine’s Day. We sat at the chef’s counter and really enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. It’s easy to see why Chef Knall is a 2025 James Beard nominee for best Chef Midwest. The GM at Birch is so personable and acknowledges us on every visit. It’s no wonder his staff is so helpful and courteous. Book your reservation with confidence.

Everything was great from the waiters to the food. Food portions were just right. Having 4 choices for the appetizer as well as the entree would suit any tastebuds. This was my first time eating a MATC Cuisine and will be coming back.
