Enjoy the dark warm supper club vibe. The Monday tenderloin special is not a great cut of meat, and a bit stringy. Wedge salad disappointing, small and little bacon. Mushrooms and old fashioneds were delicious.

About the restaurant

Tre Rivali is a vibrant restaurant, lounge and cafe. This inspired restaurant is in the heart of Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward District. The menu features Italian and Mediterranean influences. Think scratch made pasta and wood oven pizzas. Paired with craft cocktails and a well curated wine list.

It was an awesome experience, especially with two small kids. Only issue was food timing requests were not followed and they forgot our appetizer and brought it with entrees instead. Otherwise server Jack was great.

About the restaurant

Balzac believes that there is nothing that brings us together more than sharing food. Our kitchen is designed for the preparation of small plates, and to encourage our guests to share. You can expect dishes to arrive fresh, as soon as they are prepared; which means they probably won't show up at the same time. We hope you enjoy the flow of the courses, the evening, and don't forget the wine!

Going to Mullets is a great experience. They have a wonderful staff working hard to make sure you are taken care of. They have different drinking experiences available, from wine and beer flights, to boozie milkshakes. Mullets even has an igloo available for rent for your winter gatherings. The best part is that you can get your Spotted Cow super close to home if you live in Illinois. You must check out this bar and the eclectic farm stand attached…you’ll love it!
