Our waiter was great, super friendly and always checking in. Food was AMAZING, lots of flavor and the fish fry was my favorite! I wish there was a hot option for their lobster and crab rolls but the cold one was good too! It is super packed with lots of green onion if you are or aren't into that. Great prices for what you get since portions are large and come with sides

It had a great variety of seafood, including plenty of mussels, clams, fish, calamari, and shrimp. I truly enjoyed it - and even ended up sharing it with my husband because there was just so much food! If you order the bouillabaisse, just know that it is a huge serving. I have quite a few dietary restrictions, so I was especially happy that the food worked so well for me and didn't cause any issues with my stomach. Everything was delicious, and I really enjoyed the experience. If I'm ever in Milwaukee again, I'll definitely be going back for the bouillabaisse!

I made a reservation for 6PM on a Wednesday evening and requested a seat for two by the window for a spectacular view. When we arrived, we had cocktails at the bar first before we decided to sit for dinner. I have to laugh because one man went to pull out a barstool for his date and the backrest came off and he was so embarrassed! I did notice some of the barstools were wobbly and uneven. Other than that, the bar experience was fine. When the hostess brought us to our table, she seated us at a large booth away from the window. When I mentioned my reservation request, which I made weeks in advance, she was able to switch it. The view we had was amazing, we could see the water and the art museum. The service was top-notch at dinner and the food was 5-stars!!! I was greeted with a beautiful, handwritten birthday card, which I truly appreciated. We ordered the tomato salad for an appetizer to share (it was fresh and light), clam chowder (which was amazing and creamy), and we both had the Filet Mignon & Crab Oscar. The entree was FABULOUS! The steak was cooked to my liking and the crab Oscar was soooo delicious! We both loved it! To end the evening, we shared a birthday dessert thanks to Harbor House and it was delicious! Despite the hiccup with the reservation seating, I had a memorable and fabulous birthday and I will continue to celebrate each year at Bartolotta's!

For only $6, they serve a full sized portion which is one of the best values on the menu and an absolute steal for the quality you receive. The burger comes with caramelized onions, American cheese, crispy onions, au poivre sauce, garlic-herb aioli on a sesame milk bun (Note: one order per guest). From the happy hour menu, I also ordered the Halibut Fish Fry and the Shrimp Cocktail. The Shrimp Cocktail had a sweet and chili cocktail vinaigrette, which I really enjoyed. From the dinner menu, I had the Kale Cashew Caesar, Lobster Pot Pie, and the Ora King Salmon. To my surprise, the star of the show was the Kale Cashew Caesar, which staff recommended. What made this dish so special was the generous mound of shaved Gran Moravia piled on top, complemented by lemon breadcrumbs. The combination and texture was so fun to eat. The Lobster Pot Pie is offered at market price ($55 when I went). They give you generous chunks of butter-poached lobster tails, seasonal vegetables, lobster cream in their truffle puff pastry. The Ora King Salmon was also delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly--light and moist. I enjoyed the black garlic gnocchi and the apple gastrique that came with this dish. I ended the night with their chai banana caramel creme brulee. I'll definitely be back for their happy hour and that Kale Cashew Caesar!

That kind of freaked me out though. I don't like cucumber, so i took the cucumber out of the sushi, and i didn't finish an egg roll because it was too chewy (not crunchy at all). That didn't seem to be a problem. I didn't try everything. I liked the noodles I got. The sushi was decent (I had the cooked sushi). They had a nice selection of desserts. My friend said she'll come back with her kids. I don't think I will. I'd rather have everything cooked fresh. The fried things I tried (gyoza and eggrolls) were too chewy, they didn't taste bad, but the texture was off. The exception was the rangoons, they were crispy. The desserts were ok. The best was the prepackaged ice cream. I'm glad i tired l tried it. It looked like the families with kids were really enjoying it. I'm sure, as a kid, I would have too.

I was visiting a friend in Milwaukee and got a seafood boil craving so we came here for a weekend…read moredinner. It was busy but not packed, like 70-80% full. I ordered one of the combos and added mussels on the side which I highly recommend. Got the mixed sauce with no heat because spicy food is not my thing, and it was still super flavorful. The snow crab was the standout for me, so good so juicy! Shrimp is a classic must, potatoes and corn were yummy, and the mussels were 10/10. Also, the corn bread was A+++!! If you can't do spicy or just don't like heat, don't let that stop you from coming here because you can still have a great meal. Price point is also really reasonable especially if you're sharing. The setup for taking food to go is easy and convenient, and there's a hand washing station in the middle of the restaurant which is practical. Only heads up is parking can be tricky on weekends so just plan for that. Workers were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

Our server was great and the manager came by while we were eating to ask how things were and see if we needed anything. Only thing with server was I did ask 3 times for more water, would have been nice if he just saw and refilled. We started with the hush puppies and meatballs. The hush puppies came with a really interesting sauce. The cheese, flavor and texture were great. The chicken meatballs were good also had a nice sauce. I got the 4pc Pressure Fried Chicken sub collard greens for Mac n cheese to share. They nicely split the meal on two separate plates for us. The fried chicken was really good with a delicious crispy breading. The biscuit and Mac n cheese were alright. The Mac n cheese was nothing special at all. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, potato skins mixed in. Enjoyed the food and variety of options!

Stopped in for takeout. Ambience was cools and laid back at night, there was some soft jazz playing. Order 2 jerk salmon burgers and some wings with the "crab it your way" sauce. Flavor was on point for both. Wings were delicious and super crispy, just like I ordered. The burgers, although they were good, they were small for $18. Fries were decent, but a bit on the greasy side. Took 2 stars off because we waited 45 minutes for our food, when we were told 20 minutes, the burgers were small for the price and they charge an automatic 18% gratuity even for carry out ( I don't mind dine in). Also the girl at the front didn't seem too knowledgeable about the menu. Although I'm not a big fan of The Q, I would definitely go back for Crab It Your Way. I already know their seafood boils are bomb.

The interior was very cozy and cute. They have a "larger" seating area next to a smaller nook-like room by the bar. The bar area, had shelves of tin fish, wine, cookbooks, and sauces that you could buy. I only got their oyster shooter and the oysters. I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't a fan of the oyster shooter but mostly because I'm not the biggest fan of bloody Mary's. The combo was very interesting to say the least. The oyster that came with the shooter was pretty big but a little grainy. The yappy hour oysters were perfect and fresh. They came with three different sauces and lemons (I think a pickled onion, a green sauce, and a red one.) Just as fast as it came out, they were gone! The food, ambiance, and service was great. Definitely will come again!

On top of that, the crab cakes (with a real emphasis on the crab meat, not fillers and spices) were fantastic with and without the yummy sauce they came with! For dinner, I had the blackened grouper special that was seasoned and cooked better than any I've had before! The Key Lime pie was one of the best in Milwaukee, and the bread pudding was huge with a week executed caramel drizzle that didn't overpower it or make it rediculous gross like so many places that try too hard to impress diners. I'm definitely coming back and working my way through the menu! The staff was great, empty dishes didn't sit around too long, drinks were refilled promptly without having to get their attention, and it never felt too invasive or annoying. The place has two big parking lots, a cool outdoor dining area, and a bunch of access to river docks where they apparently rent kayaks and other water toys. Looks like they have a nice sized sandy area for volleyball too! Can't wait to see it when it's warmer out! I was enjoying the good conversation with the friendly people I was seated next to, at the bar, and into the baseball game, on one of their many tv's, that i forgot to take my usual pictures of the food! All I got was a really fun and cool sculpture out front! I'll get food pictures when I go back!
