Price: Expensive
• Farm-to-table • Milwaukee
Booked 35 times today
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.

    Love dinner at Onesto! Creative and amazing cocktails. So very Gluten free friendly! Even things like crab cakes made with gluten free bread crumbs and good gluten free bread with meat and cheese board. Everything was delicious and our waitress was really fun and helpful.

    DanDan delivers an exceptional dining experience with its modern take on Chinese cuisine. The menu offers a great variety, blending bold, authentic flavors with creative twists. I particularly enjoyed the DanDan noodles and the dumplings – both were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The service was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The ambiance was trendy yet cozy, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Overall, a must-visit spot for anyone in the area looking for high-quality Chinese-American cuisine. I'll definitely be back!

    Lobster Thermidor and wedge salad were excellent. Recommend reserving at the counter overlooking food prep area as they give a couple free goodies if you sit there. Also, if you stay at the Pfister Hotel, you don’t even need to go outside to access the restaurant.

    We LOVE Avli! The hot Meze items are all so delicious - the phyllo shrimp are an absolute must have every time we go. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and fantastic. Greek meatballs, zucchini fritters, spreads, and the GF pita are all wonderful. We shared the blueberry frozen yogurt with baklava "cigars" and could not believe how fabulous the frozen yogurt was. Better than the best frozen custard I've ever eaten. Our server was delightful and attentive.

    12/24/24: Lauren was great, as usual, and Ryan the GN gets his sleeves rolled up and helps it all work. Since moving from el país vasco this is as close as I’ll get to going back to northern basque coast. Worth every penny including the 18% inclusive tariff. Josh & Julie Ugalde Mequon, WI
