    New York Strip Steak*
    Courtney G.

    Milwaukee Chophouse is an elegant steakhouse on the first floor of the Hilton in the heart of downtown. They offer a wide selection of wine, nice cuts of steak, and fresh seafood. The evening I attended, a lot was ordered because it was a business dinner, and the table shared various dishes. To kick off the night, we ordered a handful of appetizers. I personally only tried the fried calamari, which was delicious and tender. It sits on a spread of a lemon butter sauce with a sprinkle of cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and capers. Since steakhouses usually offer a type of bisque, I decided to try their seafood bisque. It has a creamy tomato base with some jumbo lump crab meat and is topped with a crostini. The flavor of the bisque was a tad bland. I finished the dish, but I would pass next time. They did have a poblano and corn chowder, which a few at the table enjoyed, and I would order it next time if it is offered. Now to the star of the meal--the meat. I decided on a medium New York Strip Steak. I added brandy peppercorn sauce as an accompaniment, which was also tasty. Since a steak needs a buddy, I had to add a Broiled South African lobster tail. You can't go wrong with a nice piece of lobster drowned in butter. For sides, we also ordered an array of items. From veggies to carbs, we had it all. I enjoyed the lobster mac and cheese with large chunks of lobster throughout. It was out together with white cheddar, buttered breadcrumbs and parmesan. I also tasted the mashed potatoes, a mash of garlic purée, cream, and butter. Want a fabulous bite? Put together the steak, the brandy peppercorn sauce, and a swipe of the potatoes. Yum. To end the night, we were treated to a selection of desserts. I don't have a sweet tooth, but I will lean toward sorbet if they have it. They had a pairing of strawberry and blood orange. I tasted the strawberry and enjoyed it. Overall, the night went well, and we all enjoyed our meals and our fabulous waitress.

    The Rosemary chicken plate is my favorite! You have to get it with the mashed potatoes, lobster mac and asparagus! Even the prime ribeye steak was good! We had a lovely waitress help us last night and overall made it a great night out.

    It was our date night and we did eat early around 5. Our service was subpar due to the server being slow and lacked follow up like how is everything. For a "nicer" steak place we were sad to have an over cooked steak but since no one asked we couldnt have what we wanted. If you are in the hotel it's maybe worth visiting but don't go out of your way to eat here.

    This was my first time here so I wasn't too sure what to expect. As soon as I came in the host sat us at a booth. We were handed 3 different menus: food, wine, & alcohol. I kind of wish they had normal drinks like as fountain drinks or maybe a lemonde, but most of their beverages are alcoholic- though they did have mocktails & sparkling water. The vibe inside had an almost luxurious feel to it, yet still maintained a casual environment. To start, I had the jumbo shrimp cocktail & the fried calamari. In my opinion those dishes do better with not a lot of seasoning, but somehow both starters had me tasting flavors I've never tasted before. It was very seasoned & kind of reminded me of almost a grassy taste.. not for me, but I'm sure most people like that. The shrimp was good & also had the same type of grassy flavor. I did expect there to be more than 5 pieces of shrimp for $20 though. On to the entrees, they had a really nice selection to choose from & I wish I had picked something different as my braised short-rib was sub-par. It was basically just one piece of short-rib that was slow cooked which they then threw a bunch of grass & roots on top. The meat was super tender as expected, but it just wasn't anything special. My date had gotten the lambchops & although they were great, it was only the lambchops.. not even some veggies or I don't know.. something?? Just meat on a plate & you order the sides seperately. I will say the mashed potatoes were excellent & was definitely large enough to be split between maybe 2-3 people. Overall the experience went well & our server was attentive, but the food just wasn't exactly for me.

    Marshall was awesome!! He explained the menu and was really sweet! I loved how dim it was and the table decorations. My steak was 10/10! I would definitely go back I really enjoyed my dinner here.

    Shrimp Cocktail
    Samantha G.

    We sat at the bar and enjoyed some shrimp and cocktails. The shrimp was yum. The cocktails were great. The service was absolutely outstanding. Really fabulous bartender! He was thoughtful, friendly, and enjoyable. The ambiance and vibe is typical steakhouse. A dark and elegant feel. But you don't necessarily need to get dressed up or anything. This spot is located inside the hotel and downstairs. A great place to grab a bite, have a few drinks, and enjoy some good conversation.

    My partner and I had date night. First time at this restaurant and the service was excellent. It may have been one of my best experiences. We were checked on constantly. Our water never went empty. Our server was sweet and made sure our needs were being made. The food was delicious! The presentation was everything. I definitely recommend booking a reservation here! You won't be disappointed

We got lucky and had bar seats open up after about 5 minutes which allowed us to grab cocktails and relax. After a bit we ordered some Brussel sprouts as an appetitizer and before they could show up our table opened up. My wife chose the 2 piece cod fry with chips while I opted for the perch fry with fries. Everything was spectacular. The bartenders were jumping around each other to keep people happy at the bar and the rest of the staff get people's bellies filled with food.

I surprisingly don't have many options in my "MKE - Fish Fry" collection that are near downtown, but Swinging Door Exchange was one of them. I was pressed for time, so I placed a to go order rather than dining in. I got the combo fish fry (two pieces of cod, two pieces of perch, and three fried shrimp) with potato pancakes. I was also very easily talked into the half rack rib appetizer. The ribs were good, even though I prefer sauce that's more sweet and smokey. Their sauce was on the tangy side with a tease of spice that really only became noticeable when the majority of the half rack was gone. If I were in the mood for ribs as my main meal, I'd consider getting theirs as an entree. The two potato pancakes weren't homemade; instead, they were premade hash brown patties that some other restaurants also serve with their fish frys. These were perfectly acceptable in lieu of homemade pancakes. The cod tasted great, but the breading didn't hold up very well. Either the fish itself was too wet or the two block walk back to my car allowed for condensation to wreck it or possibly both. The perch was not yellow lake perch but probably something like pike perch. Even though both kinds of fish and the shrimp were all good sized portions, $29 feels like a lot. I wouldn't say no to it, though, if I were dining in next time and avoid the extra cost of their takeout fee. Shout-out to the bartenders working that night. The bar area was absolutely packed, but both of the ones I talked to about placing my order were friendly and helpful even with being super busy.
