    Our drinks took 40 minutes to get. There were approximately 6 tables of people. So not busy at all. When I made the reservation the earliest I could get was 6:45 pm. Which I don’t understand since there were hardly any people in there. After waiting 25 minutes for our drinks I went up to the bar which the bartender did not acknowledge me until I said something to him. $26 for two drinks and I had to get them myself. Our waitress came over with the drinks we ordered from her and she said oh you got your drinks. I explained to her not from you they are from the bar and we paid for these separately. She was confused. Worst service ever for the price you charge. You lack quality, elegance and ambience for sure. We will never come back

    Dear Jeniffer, I'm so sorry to hear of your experience at the bar. That is well below our standard and I will be sure to notify the bar manager. Enjoy your summer!

    Staff was excellent and accommodating. I had a long solo dinner and my server gave me plenty of time between courses to eat and read my book. The mussels and chorizo were excellent. The onion burger was good. The only downside is with nothing between it and the hotel lobby it gets REALLY loud but nothing they can do about it.
    Milwaukee RoadResponded on June 24, 2025
    Dear Kasey, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the food. Yes, the lobby does get a lot of activity sometimes. Thank you also for understand that. Enjoy your summer and we hope you visit us again.

    We had a Father’s Day celebration there with 7 people. We had excellent service and they were very attentive. There were 6 different meals and everyone enjoyed each meal. We sat outside and we could hear each very well. The desserts were wonderful and were large portions. We would highly recommend this place to eat.

    Dear Barb, Thank you so much for the great review and we so happy you enjoyed the food and visit. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Cheers!

    So my Brother and I went there for what I assumed was a Mother's Day Brunch, but apparently it was not? Okay, we had a Mother's Day Lunch then. It was good but you could tell that it was not very popular, as there were only three other tables that were seated, no big deal, we still had a good lunch and when I decided to order a desert, I had the chocolate cake. IT WAS GINORMOUS! and for $15 a pretty good deal, if you are a bear! I still have some left at this writing. Otherwise, a very nice lunch with my Brother.

    Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Sorry about the "no Mother's Day Brunch." However, I'm glad you enjoyed the lunch and the Ginormous chocolate cake. :-) It's so delicious! We will hope you will visit us again. Cheers!

    Waited 45 minutes for lunch. Arrived for 1130 booking and left at 1220 with NO FOOD. Had to find the waitress chatting w another waitress. Only 2 tables inside. We were the second table to be sat. Other table received their food at least 10 minutes prior. Waitress said kitchen was slammed. How? Where is the communication. Very, very bad customer service. Terrible experience.
    Milwaukee RoadResponded on May 15, 2025
    Dear Brain, I'm so very sorry about your experience! That is not up to our hotels standards. There was a large event going on in our meeting space, which is what the kitchen was working on. However, that should not have been a factor in your service. I will be sure to share your comments with the leadership team. Best regards.

    Wonderful experience doing something a bit more unique. This staff went above and beyond after our experience when a piece of jewelry was lost there. They made sure to help find such when the experience was being cleaned and helped save the day. Cannot rave about the above and beyond experience and help they’ve offered.
