    The beard
    PD T.

    Used to love coming here for special occasions or whenever I want to satisfy my seafood boil cravings. Today, I felt so disappointed. The restaurant smelled like the inside of a dirty fish tank. It smelled so terrible, I thought about walking out. After receiving the food, I noticed that the mussels were not de-beard and cleaned properly. The sauce tasted very bitter and didn't taste the same like the many times I've had before. Thought it was one of my favorite seafood boil restaurants, I probably won't come back here.

    Pho and combo 1
    Tony N.

    This was my first time here and it was really good, service was fast and food came out quick. The sauce we got was mild but it was still pretty hot. Wish it was a bit thicker but was really good. For the combo 1 is $41.99 and you get to pick 3 out of the 5 on the menu. The pho was good as well, I can tell from the broth it was made fresh in the morning. Parking lot if very tight but normally open a lot. Good spot check em out.

    Ordered my food online and when I arrived they didn't even know there was an online order. So I waited 20 minutes to get the smallest overpriced portion of food. There was also an extremely long hair I found in it when I got home. Of course I ate it because I paid so much wait and waited so long I had no other options. But yeah pretty disappointing.

    I visited this place while on vacation after seeing the awesome crab legs BLove on Facebook/YouTube had, sadly I was disappointed. First let me start by saying we arrived at 7:50pm, the establishment says it closes at 9:30pm. We were informed that they were no longer seating guests, that it was to go orders only. This was confusing as I saw ample staff members and several empty tables. I ordered to go. I got crab legs, shrimp (they do not sell headless only head on), and sides. Sadly, the crab legs were very skimpy/malnourished, as I got 3 clusters in a pound vs 1.5-2 clusters, which is typical in a pound if the crab legs are healthy, and meaty! I ordered rice, corn, potatoes and sausage. I was highly disappointed that I paid almost $4 for 6 little quarter sized pieces of sausage. The corn was decent and the rice was to expectation. Lastly, the sauce. It had an odd sweet flavor to it. Not my cup of tea. Happy I tried it, but will not be returning as I didn't really enjoy it and despite having ample staff and available seating, dine in options weren't available with over an hour and a half left of operating hours.

St. Paul Fish Market is located inside the very busy and popular Milwaukee Public Market indoor shopping complex downtown. It reminds me of the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle. The only parking option that I am aware of is metered street parking. The building has 2 levels but the 1st floor is where most of the business are. It appeared to me that St. Paul's is the most popular business there. It is a seafood restaurant and fresh fish market. They have a small sit down area for table service dining or you can order your food to go at the counter. After being seated and reviewing the menu I decided to order the same meal I had over 11 years ago. I went with a bowl of clam chowder for $8 to start and then added a fried grouper sandwich ($16) with french fries for another $2.50. The chowder was perfect. Flavorful, delicious and I wanted more (5). The sandwich also was delicious and satisfying made with quality fish, lettuce, tomato, and bread. However while it tasted very good halfway through eating it the bread bun started to disintegrate and then quickly turned to mush before I could finish. Then I needed a fork to finish it. It got messy and I don't like that in a sandwich. It's only for that reason I give an overall 4 score instead of a 5. The french fries were very good tasting too but I had ordered too much food and only had room for a few of them.The table service was very warm and friendly. I believe St. Paul's is a very good choice for a casual seafood meal but please buy more sturdy buns!

The only reservation we could get was 4:30PM but we were excited we were able to get in at any time. Because of the timing, the sun was setting over the water, which was really pretty to see. I got a little confused with where to enter the building and I guess I went in the wrong way because I walked down the dock and entered the back of the restaurant by the restrooms, lol. Barnacle Bud's had a cool decor vibe and moody lighting. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and you could tell she was very excited about the menu and the pop-up experience. She provided exceptional customer service- she went over the menu thoroughly, came back to check on us multiple times, and always refilled our water, which I always appreciate! To start, we ordered wine and the relish tray. Everything on the relish tray was a little too vinegary for me but most of the table enjoyed it. However, the four of us didn't finish it. It was pretty powerful with vinegar flavor. For an entree, I had the salmon with veggies and my friends ordered the lamb chops, carbonara, and a vegetarian friend ordered a plate of Bud's potatoes and veggies. The food was good but I thought mine was very salty. And I'm glad I ordered my sauce on the side. For dessert, the four of us shared the mousse, which had good flavor and texture. Also to note, there were up-charges for veggies, sauce was $3 extra, etc., so just pay attention to pricing if that's a concern for you. Overall, it was a unique experience and worth checking out.

They still had their holiday decor up, which somehow felt cheerful instead of overdone and made the whole space extra inviting. Fantastic food, great service, and a lively atmosphere...Outlaw Oyster is a must-visit in Milwaukee. I'll be back.

We arrived early and were told seating begins ad 5:00 if you would like to go to the bar.... Went to the bar and had a martini and a glass of wine. Well we knew it was not going to be cheap but I was a bit floored by the tab of $45 with tip and a charge for using a credit card. We were taken to our table which was at the back of the restaurant with a beautiful view and relatively quiet... perfect. Put our orders in with a very nice waitress: Me: 3 Oysters, Caesar salad, Lobster Tails Glass of wine Wife: Chopped Salad, LobsterTails, wine BTW. I love to have wine with a meal and enjoy it by the bottle. However in looking at their Wine Book they essentially triple the cost of a bottle. So to have a bottle of champagne was going to put us out over $150 .... for a cheap one. It was offered by the glass for $28. Bread was very good but with cold butter. Hate that. Chopped salad got a very high mark from a salad critic (wife) and my Caesar not so much. Get the one at Cooper's Hawk. for a comparison. The Lobster was great. $74 seems a lot until you go out and but anything comparable. The serving was generous and well prepared. A complimentary desert was offered and it was Chocolate and Hazelnut. VERY highly recommended. My mind had been set on Key Lime Pie so we had that too. Bottom line: $45 bar + $264 dinner+ $61 tip +$10 parking = $380 Would we do it again. Maybe but it was expensive. Oh I forgot there was a $5 charge for using my credit card. Good Grief!!

It thought it was OK, but he makes a ceviche at home which he mentioned was better. Although I wouldn't make a special trip just to eat here, if we need to go back to the airport, I'd be fine dining here again.
