The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil.

    Our first time here living in Milwaukee. I was celebrating my birthday. We brought our out of town guests and Dan Dan graciously accommodated updating our reservations to four. Atmosphere was very comfortable and our server was amazing. Our food was just what we expected absolutely incredible . We will be returning very soon. If anyone needs recommendation order the egg rolls. And The Dan Dan are underrated . They need to be boxed up in frozen and available in every local grocery store. In the meantime, we will just be coming back and enjoying the wonderful experience again. Thank you.

    First of all I must compliment our server, Samantha L., she was delightful. She gave us the specials & also the history on the Harbor Burger. I must confess we are not big fans of seafood & since it was lunch time ordered the burgers—they were awesome along with the fries. We love looking out at the Lake Michigan.

    Food and service are always great at Onesto. Sat at a hightop table in the bar which was as expected a little noisy. Otherwise, it was a great night.

    The Edison has a great vibe! Cocktails were good (we ordered traditional as well as on menu). Food was super good - wide variety of mains that everyone enjoyed. We were celebrating christmas with our family and received excellent service of Alex. We also appreciated the free round of drinks from the owner who my niece chatted with at the bar :) That was a very kind gesture! We will be back for sure! Great place for locals and out of towners!!
