    We dined here with our play group before a show. Service was great! The ambience was energetic, lively but a little loud at times. Food is very good - sandwiches burgers, salads. Nothing fancy but all well executed with good sauces. Prices are moderate. Only a few wines on the list but the beer list is pretty comprehensive. They do have a few specials on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays - check the website for those. I hear they have a good happy hour. Overall very good, would recommend and will go back.

    A bit on the pricey side, but always fantastic food. It’s tough to find a better burger in Milwaukee.

    Our server seemed like she had a lot of other tasks to tend to in addition to caring for the people at her tables, so there were long pauses between the things a server usually does. We were over half done with our food before she asked if the food was tasting good. We were long finished when I was about to get up to ask for our bill. She came out of the kitchen carrying a tall stack of drinking glasses.

    The food was inventive and well prepared. They acknowledged the reason I booked the reservation and made it special for me and my two sons. Our server, Leah, was also special and mature beyond her years. She embodied the name of the restaurant even though she was modest about her social skills. Many servers today do not know how to converse with guests and it was a pleasant surprise to enjoy the interaction. I hope I spelled her name correctly.

    We had wings as an appetizer and they were the highlight of the meal - but they weren't great - just decent wings. I had the Salmon Bowl. The vegetables (edamame, cauliflower, avocado, cucumbers) and rice basically had no flavor. I don't think there was any seasoning on any of it (including salt and pepper). The salmon itself was fine but a tad overcooked and the "sauce" on the salmon was very sparse. I asked for some soy sauce which made it better but it still wasn't great. My husband had the chicken Caesar wrap which was mostly lettuce and not very good either. We were disappointed and probably won't go back.
