Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Whitefish Bay

We chose the 4 course meal with wine pairings- worth every penny!! For starters goat cheese/shallot and pork belly. Moved on to French onion soup and scallops on mushrooms. For main courses we tried the quail and beef cheeks and dessert was the chocolate mousse and sorbet trio. Every course was simply outstanding!! Katie and Isabella (I’m not 100% on her name- so sorry) were wonderful. We were so pleased with the quality of food and the wine flight was delightful. Can’t wait to come back - we had a window seat but it was dark and we couldn’t see the lake. Next time- brunch 😊.

Top ratings. Seating was ready at the reserved time. Each dish properly matched the description. Great flavoring and texture. Quantities were spot-on. Service was friendly and thorough and efficient. Entire venue was clean. If you want to be very nit picky, the Happy Chicken had a great sauce, but the chicken itself did not seem to quite infuse the sauce flavor as thoroughly as it maybe could have had it been a slower/longer cook time. That said, there was a very nice finish on the chicken the way it was prepared. I loved the dish and would order it regularly. One other thought, and this may be more of a personal preference, the almond cookies were phenomenal and far exceeded the understated description. We almost did not have them had it not been for the server’s wonderful description. The only thing for me personally was that while the flavors melded beautiful and made the cookies to die for, it seemed slightly heavy on the strawberry jam to me, making it a bit sweeter than I desired. My favorite bite from the cookie was from the edge that had a hint less jam than the center. Again, probably just a personal preference since the jam is what made it for the rest of the table. A little something for everyone’s tastes. Great job! Phenomenal!

Everything about EsterEv was a delicious experience. From the start of the meal, to the service, to the presentation- we enjoyed all of it and can’t recommend enough.

We had an amazing dining experience. Seated at the counter for full view of the kitchen and the chef’s tasting menu. This restaurant is a well oiled machine, putting out amazing bites of food, staff is very friendly and engaging. Our only small complaint would be that in our opinion the dishes came out too quickly. We prefer to have a slower experience and take our time, but again that’s exclusive to our taste. We have done many chef’s tastings and this one definitely did not disappoint and we will return.

Took my boyfriend for his birthday. He has his own restaurant and is very particular so I was nervous about choosing a place we had never been. He thought it was spectacular and so did I. Our only disappointment was there were tooooooo many wonderful choices to try them all. I guess we will have to come back again soon!
