It was a beautiful Friday night though so we opted for the outdoor patio. There was some live acoustic music which was great. We were a little bummed you couldn't do flights outside, but not a huge deal. We opted for a bottle of their signature White Stallion and Rose. We were super impressed with the White Stallion, it was really smooth. The rose was also good! We went all out with the food and ordered the lobster cargot, burrata, curry chicken lettuce wraps, cucumber and krab, and tuna tartar. The lobster and tuna was the stars of the show. SO good. We really liked everything though. Can't wait to come back!

No need for a fire on a nice day, but would come in handy on cooler nights. Tables with sun umbrellas are in high demand. There is an outdoor bar that serves wine, drinks and ice cold sangria slushes (pretty tasty). I also love that they bring a pitcher of water with the drinks. Waitress are very attentive and friendly, serving drinks and a menu of mostly appetizer type foods. All very unique foods. Great place to take a break from shopping downtown Cederberg.

We visited on a week day and found that there was a large semi-private event happening. The timing…read moreof our arrival seemed to be right when the event started so service was pretty slow for us- they served everyone from the event first (including those who arrived after us). We ordered a wine flight and an order of mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were quite good! One of the wines we were served was vinegary and seemingly spoiled so as soon as we mentioned this to our server, they replaced this with a different wine. Our server was very friendly and I think the event was larger than expected so maybe a little understaffed. Overall we didn't have the best experience here, but it might just be the timing of the day we selected.

There is ample parking on site making this winery very accessible. We were treated by the friendly bartender who I believe is the owner. She explained their wines to us in just enough detail and walked us through how to make selections for a flight. I did the red flight and you got 4 wine samples for $12. Super affordable! We also ordered a large cheeseboard which was more than enough for two. There are pizzas and soft pretzels available at night on the weekends but since we were here on a Friday afternoon they weren't serving those yet. A lot of Wisconsin wineries do really well with sweet wines but don't have a large dry offering. My flight of 4 red wines was perfectly dry! We really enjoyed our time and can't wait to come back and try what looked like a really nice outdoor are when the weather gets warmer.

Bottles tend to run $15-$20 for whites, mid $30s for reds, and $45-50s for reserve bottles. The proprietors are friendly and knowledgeable. Though adding a pallet cleanser of some crackers or even water would be an improvement for tastings.

We had a group of 10- and had such a nice evening. Someone needs to be designated driver- the cocktails were outstanding and the chocolate pairings were so complimentary.

The cherry cordial probably was our favorite of the night. Bought a box- will not be sharing them at all.

We were a group of 13 and we were excited to get the night started here with a tasting. The wine was fantastic, I discovered some new favorite cheeses as well, and the chocolate was delicate, beautiful, and melted in your mouth. If you have not done tasting here you really should give it a try. It would make for the perfect date night, even. My favorite wine was 2018 Bodegas Nekas El Chaparrall Garnacha, my choice for cheese is Luna (Apline/Gouda Blend from WI), and the Gray Salt Caramel Truffle won my vote for best chocolate. The staff takes you through each grouping prior to your tasting providing background information as well as why the 3 items pair well together. I would have given a 5 star rating, but towards the end of our visit we waited for a significant amount of time before getting information on the 3rd pairing because another party had shown up. With only a staff of 2, they were not able to get that party started and come back to us without many of us wondering what was taking so long.

Me: "taste this." **hands dining companion brass monkey**…read moreDining companion tastes drink. **hands drink back to me with face I interpret as "why do you keep dragging me to these fancy places and ordering 'hood drinks?"** The (very potent) Brass monkey notwithstanding, the Skyy vodka drink collection up on Zen on seven was pretty good. 8-9 vodka mixed drinks, maybe $6 or $7 each. Tasty with cute names. The sushi menu is more before dinner appetizers- light bites than a full meal but it was a thoughtful collection including spicy tuna (pretty spicy), shrimp, veggie, "lox without the bagel" (i.e. salmon and cream cheese), & some type of fruit/dessert type sushi roll; edaname & thai beef salads, & Gelato or Italian ice for dessert. Things were priced about as expected with rolls approximately $10. Although it wasn't a big selection, the rolls seemed well prepared -- they didnt fall apart and the rice wasn't chewy. All the flavors worked and the ingredients were fresh. Obviously the food and drinks take a backseat to the chillout-ish roof top zen garden atmosphere overlooking Milwaukee street. It was a little chilly when we were up here but luckily there's a small glass enclosed room that houses the bar as well. Since it's outdoors, this is one of those establishments to visit on a night where you're trying to decide if you should get A/C or if you can survive til fall by just continuing to go out on nights when its sweltering. One problem: we received forks(!) instead of chopsticks(!) I have been eating sushi with chopsticks for so long I wasn't even sure how to attack the roll with a fork. Cut it in half? Take out each piece of tuna one at a time? Stab it down the center? Ah, the horrors! I (clearly) can always manage to chow down but it did throw me for a loop! Chopsticks with sushi please and thank you! !

This has to be one of my favorite brunch spots…read more I moved away from MKE several years back, but I get back when I can. This is always a top choice for me! And, it's super nice because they do take reservations. Huge plus in my books! Atmosphere. Great space - 2 floors with plenty of seating both at the bar, tables, booths. Lots of old wood - so it's rustic and industrial vibe. Food. Food is outstanding! Everything is delicious - you can get your own meal, or you can go tapas style and share of bunch of bites. Great concept. Highly recommend the spaghetti squash - it's a special, so not always on the menu. Eggs Benedict were great, too! Service is always great! Highly recommend this spot next time you're looking for brunch. You won't regret it!

Engine Company No. 3 has been one of our favorite brunch places for the last several years so when…read morewe read that they were closing brunch service in favor of an "events only space" we knew we had to go for one last brunch. We made reservations for 11:30 on a Sunday and were seated right away. As a way to celebrate our last meal at this place, we decided to get the dishes we've loved and dishes we have been wanting to try. My husband got an Irish coffee and I got the honeybee mosa. The coffee was strong and not super sweet. My mimosa was fruity and delicious with the honey shining through nicely. For our meal, we got the patatas bravas, goat cheese curds made vegetarian, vegetarian empanadas, patacon com huevos, and the espresso meringata pancakes. We've had the patatas bravas before and is probably one of our favorite dishes here, but the empanadas were a first time for us and they were equally delicious! Hard to pick between the two for sure. The goat cheese curds were nothing like I was expecting, but the flavor was sublime; it was creamy and rich and the cheese curds themselves were very tasty. I do wish we got to try some of the curds without throwing sauce though. The patacon con huevos was mostly good - the salsa was delicious and fresh, but the rice and beans were a little bland. The patacones themselves were good! The pancakes were a little disappointing because as a bite with all of the components including the pancake, chocolate sauce, and topping was good, but it was very subtly sweet and in my opinion there wasn't enough chocolate sauce. The staff was very friendly, but I think they may have been a little distracted today because we ended up with four full glasses of water and six eating plates for the two of us. We are definitely going to miss this place, but will happily go to La Merenda so we can keep getting some of our favorite dishes!

It's an intimate space; however, there is an entire second floor with comfy sofas so you don't need to feel like you are cramped on the first floor. The bar on the first floor is right there with coat racks in the back. The catered food was high quality and they took some staples like wings and put a nice spin on them with a smokey bourbon finish. The artichoke dip was incredible as well as the bacon wrapped jalapenos. We really enjoyed this space plus the beautiful view of the frozen river. I can't wait to check this place out during the summer!

Perfect for your birthday, retirement or holiday parties. Extra fun in the nice weather when they can open the whole front of the space to utilize the interior as well as the adorable patio. And no worries about parking they have that handled too. Note it is right on the river so just keep walking you'll find it just when you think you don't know where you're headed.
