Restaurants near Holiday Inn Milwaukee Riverfront

Food and service is excellent. Fairly quiet during January

Excellent lunch!! Soup and salad starters were both very good. Vodka pasta was outstanding along with meatballs. Caramel gelato was a terrific dessert. Service was perfect!! Overall very memorable lunch.

This was my first time at Birch. Lola was our server and she was phenomenal! She was knowledgeable about the menu, including the cocktail and wine list and our plates were cleared multiple times when she noticed they were dirty and needed changing out. She was also warm, friendly, and engaging. The hospitality from back of house was generous and very much appreciated, and having several chefs visit our table during service made the experience unforgettable. We will be back again soon and thank you for a great evening.

Try the lamb larb—outstanding. Bavette never fails to impress.

Food was good to very good, except the three cheese truffle flatbread, which was very plain, missing any truffle flavor and seemed to be topped with the cheapest grated parm. Service was ok, could be better. I don't think a single finished plate was cleared until we left the table. Service was courteous, at least. Admittedly, I was annoyed that they claimed not to take reservations, even though I had a reservation on OpenTable. It just wasn't a good look for our birthday dinner, kind of embarrassing and awkward. We enjoyed the outdoor area; firepit, giant jenga, giant Connect 4, bag toss, comfy seating, live music. Overall, good.
