Drawing upon the rich history of Milwaukee’s craftsmanship we present, Craft. The history of Milwaukee dates to the early 17th and 18th centuries when traders first began to travel through and eventually settle in what is now Milwaukee. Deep European roots brought craftsmen and skilled hands to the area and to this day an ethic of hard work and determination inhabits the spirit of the city. Early on the area was full of coopers, butchers, shoemakers, and farmers. Milwaukee’s beer history started in the 1840’s, driven by the presence of the frontier settlement near the Great Lakes. Immigrants, including Welsh and German settlers, yearned for the native beers of their homelands, so they embarked on making delicious craft beer with techniques from their native countries. Craft features a cuisine including locally sourced foods, hand crafted cocktails, and a vast selection of local beer.

It’s been over four years since guests last tasted the Sicilian dishes from longtime Milwaukee restaurant Giovanni’s. But all of that changes with Safina: a new casual Italian concept that comes to the historic building at 785 N. Jefferson St.Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible. The restaurant also features a full bar and second-level seating, complete with wood and marble finishes that highlight the rustic, modern Italian ambiance.

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.

    My wife and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary here, and we absolutely loved it! Although we arrived a little later than our reservation time, the staff was very accommodating. We had to order a bit faster, but it wasn’t an issue at all. The food was incredible—everything tasted perfect! We enjoyed our drinks, appetizer, and entrées, all of which were top-notch. Our waiter was not only friendly but also impressively quick with the drink refills! The atmosphere inside was stunning, creating the perfect vibe for a special evening. To top it all off, we were served a delicious flourless chocolate cake that was out of this world. I’d definitely recommend this place for any special occasion! Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable.

    Always a great time at our favorite steakhouse! Stephanie is the best waitress! She’s very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and proactive. Would highly recommend her upon request when booking your reservation. We had our 6 month old with us and Stephanie was so accommodating to our needs. Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

    Food was excellent but our service was a bit lacking, despite it being Christmas Eve it was not that busy. Our server was nice but he never came back to check on drinks or how food was. Overall could have been a bit better.
