- CConnorVIPChicago / Illinois •7 reviews5.0Dined todayFood and service is always out of this world. Highly recommend and always thoroughly enjoy. Added bonus now is the Loon Room speakeasy concept downstairs. So nice to keep the conversation going with friends to transition downstairs for an after dinner drink. Ethan, the lead bartender downstairs is an awesome mixologist and fascinating to watch him work his cocktail magic!More infoThird Coast ProvisionsPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Milwaukee•4.5
- KKennethChicago / Illinois •17 reviews5.0Dined todayWe had four in our dinner party; 2 first time visitors. My wife and I shared the roasted seafood tower as our entry. Plenty of well prepared seafood items; lobster tails, shrimp (very large), snow crab, scallops and mussles. The broth was a winner too. One of our guests tried the scallops (for the first time) entree that included mushroom risoto. New fan of scallops. Other guest ordered the spicy pasta and enjoyed the preparation. Also ordered some of the specialty drinks. The bar prepared some exquisite drinks.More infoCarbon SteakPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Milwaukee•4.7

- ILILovePaellaChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 7, 2016The steak was very well cooked (medium rare but on the rarer side) and the potatoes were good. The bistro is in the lobby of the hotel, so it has the potential to be loud depending on the day. It was nice and quiet while I was thereMore infoJulep/Bistro 333 - Hyatt Regency MilwaukeePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•3.7
