We went to Crave before a show downtown. We had a reservation but probably didn't need one at 5:45. There were plenty of open seats. We got seated quickly and had good, swift service. The food and drinks were very good.

Most lobby restaurants are not the greatest experience. The Milwaukee, however, was a pleasant surprise. From a gracious hostess to a joyful waitress, to a very, very good meal for the four of us. The only food negative was a relatively bland dressing on the Caesar salad. T”My pappardelle was outstanding and the others felt the risotto, burger and salmon were very fine.
