    One of our regular lunch spots. Free off street parking. Reasonable prices for hotel cafe. Open 7 days a week. Basic but good lunch menu. Always great service. Great for a quick bite or quiet lunch with the wife or colleague.

    I want to commend the management for improving the service at the café. While I’ve always found the food excellent and the atmosphere outstanding, the service had diminished some in recent years. The crew today seems to be right on top of things and I commend Christian especially  for his timely pacing of my meal and  the on-duty hostess today.  The Pfister Café remains my favorite lunch place in Milwaukee and has been for 50 years plus.
