- GGretchenWisconsin •8 reviews5.0Dined todayWe 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!More infoBuckley's Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•4.7
- SStephenWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis was an incredibly delicious meal! Definitely will be back. My only issue was that there were a lot of bones in the trout that we had. Other than that, everything had amazing flavor and texture components! Super delicious!More infoBirch - MilwaukeePrice: Very Expensive• American• Milwaukee•4.9

- JJanetWisconsin •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 17, 2024There was a group of 6 of us for dinner before the Pentatonic show. The service was great and the food was delicious. They have the best baked French onion soup!! Their smash burger, Brussel sprouts and chicken wrap were very tasty too. I would definitely eat there again!More infoOak Barrel Public HousePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Milwaukee•4.3
