    Usually a great place to grab lunch, but this time we had poor service - hopefully it was just a fluke.

    Delicious lunch to celebrate the holidays. The Cobb salad/tomato soup combo was delicious. The club sandwich looks great too. Don’t miss the beautiful decorations in the lobby, such an iconic Milwaukee hotel.

    We are from Seattle and wanted to take our aunt somewhere special in Milwaukee. The Pfizer hotel is absolutely beautiful inside and the staff were very nice. However, we ate brunch in the Pfizer Cafe and were not pleased with the quality of the food. The staff and service were very accommodating and thoughtful, but the food was disappointing. My husbands and I both had omelettes which were each flavorless, had few fillings and the eggs were dry and rubbery. My aunt had the Eggs Florentine, which she said were adequate but not outstanding. Each plate was minimal in terms of servings; biscuit on my plate was tiny. Eggs Florentine was very small and offered no other sides except fruit or potatoes. The food definitely did not meet the standard we expected from such a beautiful hotel.
