Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Shorewood

I was seated promptly and greeted by my server right away. Coffee is delicious. Crab Benedict featured two nice-sized crab cakes atop really quality English muffins(made in-house?). Eggs poached perfectly medium, and Hollandaise is fresh with just the right amount of lemon. Tricolor potatoes very good. Fruit bowl contained a good variety of melons and berries, all perfectly fresh. My server was attentive without hovering. Very efficient!

The ambience was one of the best in Milwaukee. We got a seat right by the window, and I love the old architecture inside the building. Our food was delicious, I would highly recommend the sourdough with truffle cheddar and chive butter as an appetizer. The only thing I wish is that they had more steak options. They only had one steak option was $45 sirloin steak. Other than that, it was great!

My wife and I are big fans of Birch, which is why we dined here on Valentine’s Day. We sat at the chef’s counter and really enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. It’s easy to see why Chef Knall is a 2025 James Beard nominee for best Chef Midwest. The GM at Birch is so personable and acknowledges us on every visit. It’s no wonder his staff is so helpful and courteous. Book your reservation with confidence.

Our waiter Nick was excellent, super attentive! The food and drinks were awesome. Will definitely be back!

A bit on the pricey side, but always fantastic food. It’s tough to find a better burger in Milwaukee.
