What our guests are saying
We had dinner and drinks there for our daughters 21st birthday. The food was good, but what really stood out was the hospitality. The stuff is top notch, and our waiter Aaron B. was fantastic! We had a great time, and look forward to going back.

We stopped in here for my birthday celebration back on sept 28th and Zack was our bartender. Oh my I haven’t have such amazing service in a long time. He was great he was very informative about drinks. He makes some amazing old fashions and this is a great compliment from someone who has never liked an old fashion in my life. My husband loves a good old fashion and he was highly impressed also. When things turned south on me and I had a horrible headache i needed to stop drinking. Zach made me a wonder non alcoholic drink so I could still enjoy my time there. The popcorns are definitely fun to try. It was a pretty busy evening and we never waited long for service. I tell everyone that I know who travels around here to stop in and finger crossed Zach will be there to serve them. He really made the whole experience amazing and we all had a great evening.

We didn't have to wait to be seated on a Monday evening around 6pm. The server came to us quickly. We weren't quite ready to order, but she had already brought our water. We didn't order anything else to drink...they didn't have what my preferred beverage was. The server came back and we placed our order. I ordered the meat lover's pizza and my wife ordered the Mac and cheese. While we were waiting for the food the server came back and talked to us about what we were doing in Milwaukee. She was vary nice and gave us suggestions on things to do in town. The food came out fairly quick and was delicious. My wife really enjoyed the Mac and cheese. My pizza was excellent and was cut tavern style. The server was attentive and kept the water glasses full. Overall it was a very good experience.
