    My family and I are at El Greco now and we have been waiting quite sometime. We are so bored that we had to create games to play to occupy our time. The was okay but or Server is pretty cool. I don't recommend recommend coming here if you're really hungry. We have been waiting for about 45 minutes,

    Great food and good people. What more do you need. As yes... Pretty decor(see the pictures)! I stopped in here twice while I was in Milwaukee on business. My meals were excellent both times and the people so friendly. The portion and huge and great tasting as well. The price are more than fair for the amount you receive. I am in Milwaukee again this week and will be heading back!

    Let me start off by saying the waitress was amazing. I can't remember her name but she was an older caucasian lady with a pleasant demeanor & fantastic work ethic. She ran her tail off the entire time. I got the fajitas, flavor was , fresh crisp peppers and onions with good quality chicken came out sizzling & plenty of it. My only complaint was the tiny plastic cup of half filled sour cream & salsa sent out. It was gone on the first fajita and of course they charge for extra. My fiancé got breakfast. He enjoyed the sausage links & forcefed me the french toast noting it was light & delicious. We were stuffed but the dessert case looked bomb so he got oreo cake to take home and I got the fresh strawberry topped cheesecake. The cheesecake is what I like to call "worth being fat for". Literally, SO good. If nothing else, give them a try just for it. We enjoyed our visit. I will note that the area didn't seem to be the greatest & a few of the patrons had bad attitudes & attempted to make a scene about their food and/or takeout order not being up to par. I find this to be a person problem more than a restaurant problem. Who would walk up in a restaurant yelling at staff & demand to see a manager over lack of plastic silverware & stale bread? Apparently, the people here do. Unfortunate, but the staff persisted none the less and wished us a nice day on our way out.

    Whenever my father comes up from Racine and helps me out with maintenance on my house he always loves to go here and grab late lunch early dinner after we're done. We both really enjoy this place, they have a lot of options to choose from. They always have amazing homemade soups and great lunch and dinner specials. It's a very large restaurant with lots of seating. The restaurant is always very clean and has a lot of awesome light fixtures that I love. It's kind of everything you would expect when going into a Greek restaurant. We had a really great server named Juan Pablo! He was really great highly recommend asking for him! My father decided to order the leg of lamb dinner special and I decided to get the Cajun catfish pasta dinner special. My father really enjoyed the Leg of lamb although it did not come on the leg the meet was tender and delicious and he really enjoyed it. I loved my Cajun catfish pasta, the flavor was absolutely fantastic and there was so much of it I could barely eat half of it. The dinners come with soup or salad and a dessert option. My father got the side salad with blue cheese dressing and I decided to get the baked French onion soup. Absolutely loved the soup it was amazing and my dad said the blue cheese dressing was excellent. For dessert we both opted for the puddings, I decided to try the rice putting and my father got the tapioca. Overall we were thrilled with our meals and the service was fantastic. We will definitely continue to frequent this restaurant.

    As a late night go-to spot after the club, this place gets the job done. There was nothing spectacular about the food and it kind of reminded me of Denny's. There was only a few tables full of people the night I was there. Still, service was extremely slow. We had to call the waitress over several times before we got all the condiments, drinks, and napkins needed. She was friendly and did what she could considering there was probably not enough people scheduled for a late weekend night's traffic. The best thing...this place is open 24 hours!

    Gyro and eggs.

The cold station had a great variety of hummus and dips served with pita bread--my son loved it so much he ate thirteen pieces of pita! I'm usually not a big fan of raw oysters, but they looked so fresh that I decided to try them... and I couldn't stop eating them. They also had traditional Easter red eggs and egg salad, which was a nice touch. The hot food selection was very impressive as well, including freshly carved prime rib and ham, roasted lamb leg, and sausages. There were also breakfast favorites like French toast and scrambled eggs. Desserts were excellent too--cakes, fresh fruits, and yogurt rounded out the meal perfectly. The setting is just as lovely--the restaurant has an outdoor patio that would be especially enjoyable in the summer, with a great view of the city skyline. It's also a perfect spot for photos. On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience and a memorable Easter celebration.

We also ordered chicken souvlaki- a little chewy but seasoned nicely. Portion sizes were excellent.

The café has plenty of tables and a little bar area, and lots of Greek décor and videos to transport you to Greece. The servers were very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the Keftedes for an appetizer, they were so delicious! Well seasoned and the perfect crispy shell with soft pita bread. We also ordered the Zeus and the Lemon Baked Salmon. The Zeus was well seasoned and included lamb, pork, and beef in a pita. The Lemon Baked Salmon was a little to lemony for my taste but still good, I just wish I had something to cut the lemon flavor a little bit. Overall, the food and drinks were good, and would be back to try more. I did find the prices a little high for some items, including the drinks, some more worth it than others.

The menu is also updated with a new items. The food is still as good as I remember! The Beef Souvlaki has always been my go-to here, so I ordered it for lunch today. The beef cubes were well-seasoned as always and the pita was soft and delicious, as well. Even the fries were good. These were well-seasoned shoe string fries, and they were perfectly fried crisp. I couldn't stop thinking about the Grilled Octopus on the menu, so I ordered it, too, and asked chef to slice it for me. It was tender and served in olive oil with warm and soft pita. Sooooo good! A 6-top reservation came in while I was there. Yes, they accept reservations, which I believe you can book through their website. I've been coming here for years and seen different family members behind the counter or in the kitchen over the years, which adds to the charm of a small, family-owned business, and also shows I've aged. If you haven't been here, or haven't been here in a while, come check them out! a little more upscale in appearance with a casual vibe.

    Another amazing hotel restaurant?…read more Listen. I know this is typically kind of an anomaly. I travel a lot and can attest many, many hotel restaurants are pretty ho-hum. But, I do think that Milwaukee may just be the exception here. And, certainly Tre Rivali, located inside the Journeyman Hotel, is absolutely the exception. Chic and modern with a menu that intrigues and cocktails that delight, I have had many wonderful experiences here. Their meat and cheese boards are epic and well priced. I've ordered and quite enjoyed their scallops that come served with truffled parsnip cream, brown butter, hazelnut, brussels sprout leaves. Divine. It's not a hearty dish, though, so if you tend toward a hearty appetite, I'd recommend a starter of some kind. Or, perhaps dessert? Their cocktails are all well made and they have a firm grasp on the classics (they make a mean classic old fashioned and Manhattan). The service is always lovely. Get to it!

I liked that the cream cheese alrady had chives and dill in it. I took a baklava cheesecake slice to go- one of the most creative cheesecakes that I've ever had. Lots of pistachio, honey, and philo made this a unique and delicious treat. Tre Rivali is one of the better hotel-restaurants that I've been to!

Once we decided on what we would like to order, we headed to the kiosk at the front and ordered, then waited for our food to arrive at the table.

There were sittings by the door, throughout the walk way and booths towards the end of the restaurant. They had the whole menu displayed behind the counter and a few of the desserts as well. We ordered the appetizer platter; which allowed us to choose three apps two try.
