Had a wonderful evening, the only problem was our waiter was very hard to understand with his mask on and he wouldn't speak up louder. He wasn't very attentive to our table and as a server myself, I thought he should've been a little more involved with us. Overall experience was good.
Great prime rib and pork belly! Lovely ambience. Seated right away. Good service.
Prime rib was mouth watering. Service was outstanding. Plus felt safe with covid measures.
We always love Wards. They have the best Prime Rib in town! You wont be sorry!
David- Thank you for the stars and the kind words! We appreciate them and can't wit to see you again.
We really enjoyed the seafood sampler filet and lobster and veal Marsala. Derick was an excellent server and the wine list was on point!
Bridget - We're so glad you enjoyed your dinner and Derick's service. Thank you for the stars! We're looking forward to seeing you another time!
The food wasn’t good. We ordered 2 NY strips the cut of meat was NY strips. Food wasn’t seasoned at all. Only thing that was ok was the potatoes. Sad because I really wanted to like this place.
Ashley - Thank you for letting us know about your dinner. We'd like to hear more about it. Please email us at julie@wardshouseofprime.
Everything was great. Was a little cold right at the door but perfect otherwise.
Lakia - Thank you for the stars and the kind words! We appreciate them and look forward to seeing you another time. We'll make sure you sit far away from the door!
Gone here the past 2-3 years. Food quality was not the same as years in the past. Not sure if covid had an impact on this.

Our dinner reservation at Wards was phenomenal. The food, atmosphere and service was 10/10. We would highly recommend Wards and cannot wait to return!
Thank you, Matt! We're apprecaite the review, the stars and the 10/10!! We can't wait to see you again!
Bethany was amazing! Great food but better service! Would recommend!
The prime rib did not have much flavor and plating was abismal! It looked as it was tossed on without regards! Also the prime was extremely tough. The best part of the meal was the pork belly starter! The experience was very unwelcoming, we arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and the restaurant was not ready for service! The hostess informed us that it did not open for another 10 minutes but we could sit at the bar...however the bartender was not pleased to see we were there before and made smart remarks as if we were not even there! The floor manager gasped and made the mumbled “I guess I won’t get to eat my food then”, because we were 10 minutes early for our 4pm reservation! Overall I will not return considering how much we spent and the experience was Walmart worthy!
Perfect all the way through. A top notch restaurant. Will definitely be back!
Out of PRIME RIB at 5:30, at WARDS HOUSE OF PRIME . We have been eating there since opening and absolutely love the place , the staff and the owner Brain and Julie my GOD they are the best . The drinks and wine selection , fantastic ! BUT HOW CAN YOU BE OUT OF FREEKING PRIME RIB AT 5:30 When that is in your name ?!
My husband and I were celebrating an Anniversary and my husband loves prime rib so we chose to try Wards. My Husband wanted to try the 40oz prime rib which he said was very delicious and he pushed himself to finish so he can get his name on the wall. I had the lobster bisque and the Squash ravioli, I'm not a huge meat eater. My meal was okay which I expected since they are a steakhouse! The Owner/Sister came to our table thank us for coming and explained the family business dynamic which was really special. We got a piece of cake for the anniversary which was very thoughtful. Overall, good service, good food and fine pricing.
Hannah - Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate them and hope to see you again soon. Cheers!
It was our first dining experience at Wards and we really enjoyed it and will be back!
Thank you, Michelle. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves. See you soon. Cheers!
The food and service was outstanding. We would highly recommend this restaurant to all our friends and family.
I had prime rib and it was made perfect, which is very unusual because I like mine well done. It was very juicy and delicious.
Our waitress/server was very professional and top notch...she was on top of everything. Emily was very attentive to all of our needs.
We definitely will be returning soon.
Joe - We can't tell you how happy we are to hear about your experience at Ward's! We're even more delighted to learn you'll be comong back soon. Thank you!!
Visited for Winter downtown dining - everyone's meal was delicious from prime rib to filet to sea bass. Service was great as well. Have been there previously and would return/recommend again.
Shannon - Thank you for participating in the winter version of downtown dining. We're glad you enjoyed yourself and look forward to seeing you another time. Cheers!
The prime rib was amazing and the staff were awesome. I will be back for more!
What an absolutely fantastic experience, again! This family run business is tops and not on the great food but friendliness. The food is wonderful, steaks are outrageously good and if you stick around for dessert, their banana cake is out of this world. Probably the friendliest welcome we’ve had in a long time, thank you. Will be back again
We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic time. We can't wait to see you again. Cheers!
The prime rib is amazing! A must try! The drinks are very reasonably price too! Family owned and operated, very friendly!
Thank you for the stars and the kind words! We appreciate them and can't wait to see you again.
Sea bass was excellent. Steaks were just right. Service was attentive but not bothersome.
Jerry - Thank you for the review. We appreciate it, and the stars! Come back soon.
My husband and I were there with friends. We had amazing food and cocktails!! We will definitely be back!!
Tracy - We're glad you had an amazing time, and even more delighted to hear you'll be back! Thank you!
Great service and food. Try to get there for downtown dining week
Thank you for participating in Winter Downtown Dining! We're glad you enjoyed yourselves. Come back soon. Cheers!
Our waiter Derrick was amazing, and we were happy to meet one of the Ward family members! Everything was perfect ... salads, filet mignon, prime rib, merlot, and cheesecake dessert. Magnificent!
Jim - Thank you for the stars and the kind words. We're glad you enjoyed your dinner, Derrick's service and getting to meet Katie! We hope to see you again soon. Cheers!
I think the restaurant needs updating. Very generic and cold feeling
There for DD week. Had the prime rib. It was good for the most part but I have had better which was disappointing because we came here for that. Was flavorful. Some pieces had thick patches of fat throughout, which was much more than expected. The outside ring wasn't as crispy as it should be either. Mashed potatoes and glazed carrots were good. As was the rasberry cheesecake, chocolate cake, creme brulee and reeses cheesecake.
Will definitely be back as we think it was just a fluke with the prime rib. We love coming here.
Meghan - Thank you for participating in Winter Downtown Dining and for sharing your thoughts. We always appreciate feedback. We're looking forward to seeing you again. Cheers!
Our party really enjoyed themselves! The atmosphere was so relaxing and I love the Earth Tone Colors. Food was really good! We will be back!
Sonya - Thank you for the stars and the kind words! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves and you'll be coming back. See you then. Cheers!
We always love visiting Ward’s and we are certainly pleased to see a family owned business surviving (and thriving!) in challenging times for restaurants everywhere. The staff and management treat us as though we just visited yesterday, even if we haven’t made it there in months. Always a fabulous special to indulge in. Brussel sprouts are a must. Sea bass a top alternative to the steak options. And don’t even think about leaving without a slice of the ever fabulous banana cake. What a treat.
We sat in the bar area at a high top table. Server was outstanding when he explained his favorite dishes and told us a story about the prime rib eating competition. He was attentive without ever being intrusive. Food was great and we didn’t feel rushed to leave to turn the table. Very fun night.
First date night out with my wife since February of 2020 and having a baby. It was absolutely wonderful being back -not only out and about- but at one of our favorite restaurants in Milwaukee. The service, staff, food, and atmosphere was spot on, and the Wards experience never disappoints! Thank you Ward family!
Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience and for choosing Ward's for your first date night in a year!! Come back soon.
