Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Greendale

First time visiting. Awesome atmosphere! Wonderful staff, excellent food & drinks. Be sure to make reservations.

Very nice and elegant restaurant. Limited menu items but each one is delicious!! A bit pricey but perfect for a city, hotel restaurant. Service was amazing. Will return here again.

We took our family to Buckley's for an after Christmas fine dining experience. It was wonderful! We were guided to our table upon entry to this beautiful spot. The decor is lovely: black and white upholstery on chairs and bolsters. Bluish-green walls and white trimmed woodwork. It is a very lovely place. We had the best waitress who was very conversational and friendly. She was a sommelier, as well and was very knowledgeable discussing wines with our two sons who really know wines. They picked out two bottles during the evening that were perfect for my tastes. She was also very attentive and moved the meal at a perfect speed. Our food was wonderful. We had a few starters--sourdough bread with chive butter and fried artichoke hearts. Very tasty and different. The entrees were the perfect size--not too much food. My son's steak was just right, my scallops dish was just what I wanted, my husband's salmon was delicious. Our other sons loved their meals, too. And desserts were fabulous!

Wow, what an awesome experience!!! Had the seasonal tasting which was a pricey experience but an experience that cannot compare to most others. This restaurant is a quaint place with some amazing waitstaff. We must have had a rotation of at least 5 servers bringing drinks, clearing courses, setting up new courses, serving & explaining each course and simply catering to any request we had. The flow was spot on. The food was unreal & impossible for me to describe with it's complexities. Each course was unique in a way that I've never had & I've eaten at Michelin Stars in Paris. Chef & team obviously take much pride in their creativity & amazing quality. Truly 1 of my top 5 food experiences in my 68 years! Can't wait for my next visit.

Merriment Social offers a fantastic dining experience in Milwaukee. They take great care in crafting unique food fusions that are both beautiful and delicious. The owners are warm and welcoming, often socializing with guests and showing genuine care for the community they are a part of. It was wonderful to hear from Sam at the Christmas party and learn more about their team’s passion for providing a high-quality and fun dining experience. Additionally, their commitment to partnering with local organizations to serve and support Milwaukee’s underserved communities is truly inspiring.
