    This is my favorite restaurant in Milwaukee. The cosy residential atmosphere is so welcoming, and the staff could not be more friendly. Our server, Jesse, took the experience to the next level. She was so engaging and had excellent suggestions. It's clear she loves her job!! Everything I tasted was absolutely delicious.

    Smashburger, scallops and carrots were great! Big miss on the chicken piccata and focaccia bread. Chicken was very dry with no piccata sauce.
