    Olive Oil Cake
    Scott W.

    Been wanting to come here for a while, but you need to be very proactive with reservations. We finally aligned a performance at the Rep with a dinner here. Food: Everything we ordered was outstanding, with one very small exception. We started with a couple of special cocktails. The Piccola Noce, which is similar to an Old Fashioned, was delicious and lasted me the entire meal. The Rilasatti was like a sangria, but the texture was a little too much like punch for my taste. For food, we began with the Coquilles St. Jacques (scallops) and the Pulpo a la Plancha (octopus). For entrees, we had the Pez Espada (swordfish) and the Panisse (vegan chickpea cake). I could go on with details, but that would just make me hungry again. Everything was delicious. Very inventive combinations, thoughtfully plated, perfect temperatures, and nice portions. The one item I must call out is the swordfish. It was the best I have ever had and literally melted in my mouth, not an exaggeration. It came with two pieces. One was more than satisfying, and I could have taken the other home, but I knew it would never be the same reheated. So down it went. We had a little room left for desserts; the Olive Oil Cake, and Flourless Chocolate Cake. A great finish to a great meal! Service: From the moment we arrived until we left two hours later, the service was impeccable. The hosts, servers, and bartenders were professional, helpful, and genuinely nice people. When we arrived, we let our server know that we had a show to attend and needed to leave by 7:30. We ordered all the food up front, and they paced everything perfectly so we walked out at 7:35. The pacing was excellent, and the entire time we felt like we were the only guests there. Thanks, Allison. Atmosphere: I really like how the room is set up. There are tables in the front and rear, with the bar and wine room in the middle, which breaks up the space and makes it feel more intimate. The overhead lighting is stylish and interesting. The tables are spaced nicely. The holiday decorations were attractive. We also noticed later that there is a chef's counter and tables that put you right up close to the kitchen and cooking action. That would be a fun experience and something we would definitely try next time. The entire evening was excellent. They do an outstanding job, and it never feels forced, even though you know a lot of care and effort goes into making it that way. A great place for a memorable meal and absolutely somewhere we will be returning to.

    Braised beef ravioli- spring tasting menu
    Rachelle C.

    Wanted to try this place for a while so I came here with a friend. The whole dinner was an experience. From the decor and vibe of the restaurant to our wonderful server and service all around. Not many places nowadays put out a overall great dining experience. We ordered espresso martinis for our first cocktail and the use the espresso from the coffee shop next door, it was very delicious. There was so much on the menu that we wanted to try so we ended up going with the spring tasting menu to trial 5 dishes. This was perfect. Every dish was so well plated and perfect serving sizes. The timing between each dish was perfect and I liked that the server brought us new cutlery with every dish. I highly recommend the tasting menu but I also look forward to going back to try other items on the menu!!

    On Friday night, I sat at the bar and enjoyed the tasting menu. Every dish was absolutely phenomenal and the service was exceptional! Telemachus and Chue Yee were so wonderful, friendly, and attentive. The ambience is stunning, modern, very classy. I can't wait to go back!!

    Exquisite dining in the heart of Milwaukee. Everything was perfectly curated from start to finish. Each drink and dish that came out was met with surprise and delight in presentation and taste. The service was just what you'd expect for this caliber of an establishment; over the top knowledgeable and accommodating. Fun atmosphere with an open kitchen where you can feel the energy permeating all around. We'll be back!

    I went to Lupi and Iris on a Saturday evening with my husband and our friends. We had a wonderful time! Make sure to get a reservation, especially if you're going on a weekend! Cocktails were amazing and a specialist helped us pick out a few bottles of wine that we loved. Our server was on top of it all night. The steaks were perfectly cooked and my seafood was delightful. Make sure you get the Tarte au Chèvre as an appetizer. It was so good we ordered a second for the table! It's a perfect place for date night if you're wanting something a little fancier. We loved our elevated experience!

    Duck

    First tip: they validate parking in the same building which I wish I had known because I parked 2 blocks away in a garage. We were seated near the kitchen. The ambiance is upscale. I liked the kitchen seating since it felt more secluded than the main. Waiter was phenomenal. Very attentive but not over the top. He coursed the food for us. I shared the oysters, octopus, beet salad, and the duck. Oysters - okay, I felt that the mignonette was very vinegary. Scallops- capers made it salty but oysters standalone were seasoned well. Octopus - probably would not get again, salty, overdone and charred. Beet salad- light, refreshing, citrusy. Would recommend The duck - SO DELICIOUS! Perfectly seasoned. I kind of hate myself for sharing this. Olive oil cake - refreshing, citrusy, not too sweet! Loved it Would come back. Do expect a long meal time. Seated at 645 and probably left around 9-930

    Torta all'Olio d'Oliva
    Michelle L.

    We made a reservation here for lunch to celebrate our anniversary before leaving town. The staff went out of their way to make our day special which was a sweet gesture. The food was absolutely delicious. My steak was perfect and my husband devoured his burger. I needed to try dessert before we left and the Torta all'Olio d'Oliva did not disappoint. We will absolutely be visiting again next time I'm in town.

    Oeuf
    Suzanne D.

    Lupi & Iris is a beautiful restaurant. It oozes a luxurious ambience from the moment you walk through the door. We visited for Sunday brunch and were impressed with the ambiance, food, and service. I enjoyed the Oeuf which is fried eggs on a croissant with French ham, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomato and argula. I had the choice of fries or fruit and opted for the decadence of the fries. I requested mayo and the side and was delighted to find it housemade. The sandwich was delicious but definitely needed to be eaten with a fork! My husband enjoyed the Quiche Lorraine which looked amazing. The portions of both were incredibly generous. We were well taken care of by our server and everyone we spoke with was very friendly. Definitely a top notch brunch spot and I would love to visit again to try dinner.

    Lovely glass of rose champagne

    High quality spot we dined at for lunch--best meal of our Milwaukee weekend. 4.5 stars Food 4.5 Service: 4 Atmosphere 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: no but via Tock Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Steak sandwich: the picky teen enjoyed his. -Cooked medium rare to order which was perfect on a toasted ciabatta roll. 4.5 stars - Trofie pasta: not what I expected which was pretty much an upscale mac and cheese with one of my fave pasta shapes I'm used to having with pesto. Super rich and cheesy blend with a creamy texture and touch of lemon. Got to choose a smaller or larger size and got the larger but took leftovers back. 4.5 stars - Steak frites: another good cook with quality meat and crispy salty thin fries. 4 stars - Wines: lovely by the glass options. Had a nice champagne - Cocktails: hub had a version of a classic old fashioned he enjoyed - Atmosphere: classy open beautiful dining room Lowlights: - Only had time for a quick lunch. Would be liked to have more time for a full dinner. Fully enjoyed our delightful lunch in this top notch establishment and would love to return to try more items.

    Scallops
    Jessica B.

    Came in for a quick meal and sat at the bar. I was told the scallops dish came with three and I only had 2! I was then told it was by weight. Seeing these were not large I was disappointed. Secondly the Delicata squash came with two pieces of beautiful squash. The flavors were amazing as I love squash. Sadly, one was cooked perfectly while the other one was undercooked. It was fixed by the staff once notified but for a restaurant like this, I had higher expectations.

    bread with honey cheese apple
    Michelle L.

    my bf and i came here for our 2 year anniversary dinner! they made us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout dinner. excellent service and beautiful upscale interior. we got the seasonal tasting menu which was a great choice for fall. it's definitely on the pricier side though - mussels: i'm obsessed with mussels so already knew i was going to enjoy this. the sauce was spicy and added so much flavor, so easy to drink this up as soup! - beef/lamb ravioli?: i can't remember what meat was inside this but this tasted like what we would have eaten in italy - beef with polenta: least fav of all the dishes, i'm also not huge on polenta so was biased but this tasted pretty mediocre to me - bread with cheese and apple slices: i felt like this would've been better served as the first dish. it was unique but the cheese was heavy and felt like a glob over the bread. good but not my favorite - date cake: actually sooooooo good, which took me by surprise. the nuts and like sticky toffee pudding sauce melted beautifully together. and was overall a sweet dessert but a great ending to dinner

    This has been one of my favorite meals in MKE. The service, food, and setting all meshed really well. We celebrated my girlfriends 30th birthday here and their Director of Catering was super informative and supportive when exploring whether we wanted to do a regular reservation of private dining room. We ended up going with the regular reservation and he was able to accommodate our party no problem. We went on a chillier night so they allowed us to check in our coats and had parking in the lot next to the restaurant at a discounted price ($5) which was great. The meal itself was wonderful. The server and sommelier we had that night was patient and ready to answer all of our questions regarding food and wine. We had a mix of starters, apps, main plates and desserts. I'd say the star of the show was the mussels and the lamb chops I had as an entree. I can't wait to go back for another dinner and maybe brunch meal soon!

    The Chocolate Marquis- heavenly
    jamie h.

    This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the city. While there are other chefs I do enjoy, this menu is exquisite (with incredible flavor sans heaviness). I appreciate the variety of options- some gluten free and dairy free. The wine selection is wonderful, and the service is outstanding. I have enjoyed every server. Today I'm having the petite rouge along with the chocolate marquis for a quick stop. You can't go wrong here.

Staff was not prepared at all, actually telling people the guy who usually does speech did not come and they do not know what to say actually. For any alcohol you will buy you will pay in addition which is fine BUT the price for that drink(s) will be surprising you a lot. For 5 sake drinks the bill was around $370. Last two glasses were having less sake than first glasses we were provided, probably because people who already drunk something would not notice the difference. It's ok to have expensive alcohol pairing with high end dinner but in this case the sake was very regular. By the way, at bar 10 steps away from the Dark room (same hotel, same floor, same the floor area) the same sake did cost $23 for two glasses. Well... I understand people try to run business and earn money but everything should not cross some decency borders. These guys did cross the line in my opinion. Alcohol prices are not mentioned in Menu by the way. I do not recommend this place not only due to drinks pricing policy but due to "ok" food/service/price ratio
