    Wayfinder didn’t disappoint! It’s a great new restaurant. The food was excellent, and management in particular was not only gracious and attentive, but very accommodating. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and had a wonderful evening.

    We loved the small plates - incredibly delicious and flavorful. Great to share amongst friends and every dish was amazing. Our favourites were the pork belly, octopus, strip steak and oxtail. We will be back.

    This was a good experience and highly recommended. We’ll be back. We’re often willing to try new places early in their existence, so we opted to stop prior to an event just around the corner at the UWM Peck School of the Arts. The small plates offerings are intriguing and creative. We went with Sweet Plantains with Rice, Blu Brussells, and Muffuleta Sliders. All three were as described on the menu, and all three were exceptional and enough for two people. The beer menu seems like a combo of new WayfinderMKE brews plus the greatest hits of Good City offerings. The wine menu is thoughtful as well, leaning toward whites as summer approaches. The ambiance is industrial chic and uncluttered without being antiseptic. Some of the wait staff were holdovers from Good City, so regulars will see familiar faces. Service was very good, and Cassie gets a tip of the hat here. Prices were within what we expected for the area. Thanks!

    The food combinations was incredible! We tried many of the small plate dishes and all were so good. Steven and Ashley both provided us the best service and we will definitely be back.
