Jay Sivasailam: Very much a chef driven food to table place similar in feel to corner table. I had great cheese, beer, salmon and a rhubarb tart that was to die for. A bit off the beaten path but worth the walk.
Tim Staacke: The infused cocktails are incredible. Always unique fresh and the right amount of oomph.
Jamie Mack: They grow their own kale on the roof, nuff said.

Amy Hattamer: Great food! We tried the Shrimp Ceviche, Duck Confit, and Rock fish. They have a nice heated patio as well as outdoor seating for summer.
Jason S: Amazing food. Best kept secret in Milwaukee. Romantic dining.
Bathilda H: Great food.. Blackened tilapia and steak. Fantastic New England clam chowder. Great service. Grouponed it. **if they ask you if you want soup or salad, it doesn't come with your order! It costs extra!
