    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!

    Belated Valentines dinner for us as the weather did not permit on Valentines Day (snow storm) Our waitress was excellent as was the food, however there was a table with about 10 ladies that sounded worse than a hen house, we politely asked our waitress if we could be seated elsewhere because they were just talking too loud, (actually screaming at times) Our Filet Miñon, was perfectly cooked, and our scallops and garlic mashed potatoes were divine. Definitely coming back.

    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!

    Dined there early week of 2/10. Got one of my favorite dishes, scallops & mushroom risotto. Added a petite filet along with a very tasty red house wine. Dining partner had the braised short rib. All items well prepared & presented. Melt in your mouth entries. Unfortunately no room for dessert this time
