    Service & seating was quick. Coffee came equally quick and menus. Ordering went well , however the hash browns were a minimal portion and cold, the ham/cheese omelet excellent, but the English muffin I asked to be well buttered was anything but!! Was also a bit surprised to hear the wait staff make a rather racist comment to a customer (as part of a conversation) that was easily overheard . In any case, the experience was definitely mixed, which is distinctly different from our prior experiences at the Cafe. I should also say my wife expressed that her food was ok.

    Usually a great place to grab lunch, but this time we had poor service - hopefully it was just a fluke.

    Delicious lunch to celebrate the holidays. The Cobb salad/tomato soup combo was delicious. The club sandwich looks great too. Don’t miss the beautiful decorations in the lobby, such an iconic Milwaukee hotel.
