   I was a little disappointed on the menu. There didn't seem to be the same variety of entree's as there were on my first visit. I asked for a dinner salad and got a bowl of fu fu greens that were like 11.00. The trout was excellent, and the service was spot one. There was a couple at the next table with a two-year-old and five years old, and the 2year old was cranky through the entire meal—this far from a kid-friendly restaurant.

   We wanted to have something from the happy hour menu at the bar - about 30 ft away - and were told we couldn't. The waitress was quite sassy about it. So we moved back to the bar. The bartender who was waiting tables in that area was spectacular. Wish I could remember her name. This is a cool place with good food. Service could improve but I'd still recommend it to others

   If you are interested in experiencing an as close to an authentic French Cafe dinner in the Midwest, Cafe Grace is the place to in Milwaukee. This opinion is supported by our recent visits and experiences in Paris and Nice. Outstanding duck confit, frites, mussels and oysters.

   Food was very very good but they were very short staffed as far as wait/bar staff. They did their best but needed someone one else working. No bartender behind a huge bar, drinks took about 10 minutes every time.

    Overall the definition of just okay. No special menu items for Valentine’s Day. Beet salad starter was excellent. Entrees were both mediocre. Scallops with brussel sprouts and grits, overcooked and not flavorful. Filet mignon a little better. Attentive service. Decent wine list. Way overpriced. Too many other good options nearby.

    I have been to Cafe Grace before and it was wonderful. My son took his girlfriend for Valentine’s Day and the waitress was awful. They never got bread on the table, they would have ordered dessert but the waitress just brought the bill without even asking. It was almost as if they were being dismissed because they were kids. A paying customer is a paying customer and deserves to be treated the same regardless of their age. Because of the way they were treated she did get a lower tip, had she treated them as real customer and actually offered dessert she would have gotten at least 20% so she basically screwed herself out money. Lesson, don’t be a snob and don’t make assumptions.

    We love the cozy atmosphere at this stylish restaurant. The chicken and scallops are very tasty. The menu is smaller than a few years ago. I miss the Skate and liked the mussels with wine broth better than beer. There was a slightly bitter taste which could have been from the beer.

    My go-to place! Oh, the mussels and onion soup! Happy Hour has great food and prices. The lunch menu is large and varied, as is the dinner menu. I've heard that the weekend brunches are amazing. They are open on Saturdays and Sundays but closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    The service was very slow. It took 15 minutes to get a second iced tea and almost an hour to get our food after we ordered. We both ordered the lunch version of the Madame Croque sandwich.

    For lunch was good not great. Mussels good and French onion soup had great flavor but too much bread for me. Service was little slow considering there were about 6 other tables occupied. Didn't leave me "wowed" but was good. Would return for lunch ?? for dinner.

    The drinks were very good but it was strange that the two ordered, came 3 minutes apart and the first one seemed to take forever. This was lunchtime, 1240 and there were NMT 4 tables being served. Why so long a wait? I had the mussels (24) which for the most part were tender and excellent. There were 3 that were noticeably tangy (bad) but this can happen in any shellfish entree. However, all the shells were open upon presentation which is an indication of being healthy when boiled. I've been to Cafe Grace in Wauwatosa many times and would definitely return. It's so classy and a go-to place for romance.

    We tried to order two glasses of wine. They didn’t have a single bottle of red wine that was opened fresh that day. They had all been opened 1 or 2 days before, yet they still wanted to charge full price for old wine and they were unwilling to open a fresh bottle unless we ordered a full bottle, so instead of paying $12 a glass for old wine we ended up having to ordering a bottle. The waiter did not come back even one time to refresh our wine glasses. We ordered our steaks medium. One came medium well, the other was well done. My husband was starving so he ate the medium well steak while I watched. After he was finished with his entire meal, I finally got my meal so he had to watch me eat. The new steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce was excellent but some offer of compensation should have been made for our inconvenience. None was made which just made the entire evening more disappointing.

    We were not acknowledged by our server for at least 10 minutes and it was not busy. The hostess saw this and brought us waters with an apology. Expensive for small portions with no sides. Will not return.

    New Years eve dinner with my wife and adult daughter. We were all very pleasantly surprised. We had never been there before and had not received a recommendation. We were looking for French in the area. We plan to repeat often. Be prepared - a little on the expensive side.

    New Years Eve dinner was amazing! The chef put together a 3-course special that included a paired wine for each course. The lobster bisque first course was paired with a sparkling wine, the fabulous prime rib course was paired with a Cabernet and the hot lava cake with a port wine. It was absolutely delicious. Our server was so nice and attentive and the ambiance was beautiful. This was a truly special evening and we will eat there again!

    First time for brunch. Food was really good, as was the price. We ordered the french toast, croque madame, and the sirloin accompanied by the bottomless bloodies and mimosas. As for the market bar everything was fresh and plentiful. Loved the chocolate croissants, kale ceasar salad, shrimp cocktail, and oysters. The only thing we didn't care for was the pork pate. We would of like to seen some dessert on the market bar. Would definately dine here again.

    The atmosphere, food and service at Cafe Grace were all were all outstanding. The restaurant is based off of a French Cafe...lots of blacks and whites. Spacious with a small bar...perfect for lunch or a date night for two. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. Our server, Brooke was the best. I can only attest to the steak tartar and the filet...both were tasty and full of flavor. The veggies are done just right and the whipped potatoes are delicious! Not a cheap place by any means...plan on spending $100 - $125 for a dinner for two, but well worth the price!
