- KKeithvipChicago / Illinois •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEnjoyed our meal here. Homemade naan, lobster potholes, and the black cod curry all great. Loved the playlist they had going and a nice wine list (and some good bourbons). Recommended.More infoThird Coast ProvisionsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Milwaukee•4.4

- TTristanWisconsin •11 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe had an amazing time at Carbon Steak and will be going back in the future! The ambiance of the place was upscale and modern. We were there on a Tuesday so it wasn't too busy but still felt lively. Megan our server and the gentleman who I assume is the manager (didn't catch his name) were both outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing. The little extras like the braised rib bite and the vodka with the caviar were excellent touches. The food was incredible. Bone-In Rib Eye was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The Spicy Radiatori lived up to it's name and was delicious. Cocktails, Wine and dessert were all great and if you like Espresso Martini's get one here!More infoCarbon SteakPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Milwaukee•4.7
- MCMarciaCWisconsin •4 reviews5.0Dined on 31 May 2024We were at The Social as part of MKE downtown dining. The elote soup and the arugula salad were both very good. I was there with a party of four. We each had a different one of the entrees and we all pronounce them very good. I was surprised however that the sloppy joe sliders were actually better than the buttermilk chicken sliders. For dessert most of us had the Strawberry Shortcake and of course that was good too. Overall a very pleasant dining experience and the service was very good also.More infoThe Social American TavernPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•3.4
- ILILovePaellaChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined on 7 Sept 2016The steak was very well cooked (medium rare but on the rarer side) and the potatoes were good. The bistro is in the lobby of the hotel, so it has the potential to be loud depending on the day. It was nice and quiet while I was thereMore infoJulep/Bistro 333 - Hyatt Regency MilwaukeePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•3.7
