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.

Pizzeria

Milwaukee

About the restaurant

You are cordially invited to visit Transfer Pizzeria Café, located in the Harbor District on the corner of 1st and Mitchell Streets. Established in 2008, the namesake is Transfer Pharmacy, a classic cornerstone drugstore from a bygone era that for decades supplied a thriving community with goods and services as evidenced by the stained glass windows still in place. The pharmacy was appropriately named for the constant activity that took place just outside - the boarding, departures, and transfers of the countless daily commuters of the time. The tradition of a reliable cornerstone establishment continues today, as Transfer Pizzeria delivers a unique dose of delicious pizza, drink, atmosphere, and friendly service.

We keep an active wait-list and gladly accommodate walk-ins as part of both our lunch and dinner service.

Farm-to-table

Milwaukee

About the restaurant

What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. 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. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.

4 of us all had prime rib. Delicious. Shrimp cocktail: large shrimp and also delicious. Lobster bisque and salads also delicious. Martinis and cosmo: good but not mind-blowing. Potatoes: so so. Twice baked: too much cheese and a bit dry. Baked presented whole (not split...just unattracted) with no butter and sour cream on the side. Doubt we'll go back for the money we paid, nearly $400 with tip for four of us. It was very good, but not the near perfection we expected based on price and reputation.
