Parkside 23 - New American Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

An incredible Farm to Table restaurant with really vibrant rotating menu items. I've stopped at Parkside a few times now when I am in town and the service has always been exceptional, and the food has felt warm and clean. The curry squash soups this time was truly something special! read more

Our last stop I think was unusual. We came in late on a Saturday evening as a couple and we sat very close to a party of at least 15. They were having a great time but were very load, foul mouthed, crude and rude. read more

O.M.G! This was my first time at Parkside 23 and WOW! We all enjoyed our meal and sharing each plate. We went during the week and during lunch, which I have heard it's hard to get into the restaurant during dinner. It is a larger room set up with tables and a bar off to the side when you come in. It was packed and service was ok (always irked when we have to ask for refills), but they all were running around to each table. The server did say the menu does change based on the season and have to say, that was the best hummus that I have ever had before! The Amish chicken with the mashed potatoes were delicious! Hopefully we'll be back soon to try the menu for the winter and will enjoy that meal just as much. read more

My dearest Gail, Have we ever met in the flesh? Perhaps, or perhaps not, we may never know. I don't even know if you'll ever read this, Farmer Gail. I don't know what life is like on the farm, if you indulge in the frivolity of social media when you're not lovingly tending to your garden. Nevertheless, based solely on my enchantment with your namesake pasta entrée, I find my mind giving rein to a fantasy that our souls have been intertwined since our single-celled organisms churned and bubbled in a primordial ooze at the dawn of time. I know not how such a humble name, Farmer Gail's Pasta, could precede the sensuous magic of the dish that makes my internal organs vibrate with gleeful anticipation at the very reading of the menu. Indeed, this medley of texture and taste deserves sonnets and ballads, but hides in the shadows of a simplicity of name perhaps reflective of the unassuming nature of life on Gail's farm, a haven devoid of pomp and show. But I digress. Penne pasta, fresh broccoli and asparagus all consistently deliver the perfect balance of tender firmness, enveloped in a smooth, creamy sauce that lovingly embraces the semolina tubes and earth's bounty like supple tailored velvet over porcelain skin, accentuating and enhancing without masking or hiding the intrigue of what's beneath. My palms sweat at the mere recollection. Indeed, Farmer Gail, should I ever produce another female offspring, I will struggle to decide if her name shall be Gail in honor of the creator, or Béchamel, the creation. My heart trembles with fear today as I reflect on a passing comment from a bartender whom I desperately hope has been misinformed. The employee noted that this pasta dish will be seasonally replaced, likely sometime in May. While absence proverbially makes hearts grow fonder, I offer my plea to Farmer Gail to take pity on my heart, tongue and stomach, and understand that nothing can augment my fondness for the magnificent plate of pasta. Truly, absence will only cause sorrow. Please, my dearest Gail, have mercy on your patrons and leave Farmer Gail's Pasta on the menu year-round. read more

I wanted to go as soon as I looked them up online. It looked so quaint and cozy! Went there hoping that the pictures weren't just pictures. The actual location was as beautiful as the pictures showed. Even the parking lot pretty on this spring May Day, with lilacs in full bloom. Just gorgeous. We had an appointment at 11:30, though we probably didn't need one at that time. the place didn't really start to fill up until around 12:15. One thing is that though we were seated immediately upon arriving at 11:30, it wasn't until 12:15 that we all got our food. There was only one other table ahead of us that our server was helping. Our server was totally, superbly nice. Taking a little too long to take our order was the only thing that kind of irked us, but she did explain that their machine went down just as she was putting in the order form the table ahead of us. Appreciate little explanations like this! Cobb Salad - I was oscillating between the Cobb salad and the burger, and decided on the salad cuz they didn't have keto buns. Great choice. Remember they are a farm to table restaurant, with their own farm on one side of their lot! I was reminded of this when I saw the salad, because the greens were absolutely fresh and delicious! Ranch dressing was made in house (per our server) and perfect along with the salad. Chicken was grilled perfectly, without over drying. Portion was amazing, and I actually couldn't finish the whole salad. Brought half of it home. Roasted bell pepper - didn't expect the pepper to be sitting on top of the risotto, rather than stuffed in it! Which was better anyhow. Friend said it was delicious and finished the whole thing. Risotto - just the regular risotto was very plain, especially compared to the bell pepper... It was straight risotto only, without any garnishes, but friend said tasted great. Chicken sandwich - this was gone in 3 bites lol. Friend didn't comment on how good it was, but it looked scrumptious, and the arugula inside also looked so fresh. Overall, great service, great food, great times! read more

Reservation protocol is bizarre and unfriendly. They don't want large or small groups as Open Table won't accept a group over 6 diners, but a phone call would not allow me to reserve a lunch spot for 7 people. Soooo... why bother trying to eat here? Meals that I was able to enjoy at PS23 in the past have been adequate and unique for sure. That's the best compliment I can offer. The plus side at Parkside 23 is a nice comfortable bar, good bartenders, and decent drinks, if you just want to come for a few beverages. read more

Delicious food and fabulous service. The place was packed and noise level was loud. We ordered the creamed corn, calamari, and tuna tartare as appetizers. Cobb salad was so good and the chicken was very tender. I would definitely go back but maybe try to sit outside. read more

Definitely a Brookfield favorite for many.packed every night and well deserved. Great ambiance and delicious farm to table meals. Looking for many more visits in the future. read more

Just left after having dinner at ParkSide 23. Very cool atmosphere nice cold beer and decent service. I had the salmon Caesar salad cooked medium well which was delicious. The reason I'm giving only 3 stars is because my husbands meal, cedar plank salmon was incredibly underwhelming. The salmon was overcooked to the point it was dry and the roasted potato and parsnip side was again underwhelming and lacked presentation. We would have said something to the bartender but he didn't even ask how our meals were and we did wait quite a long time considering we arrived at 5. The kitchen seemed to get busy and his meal reflected it Would we go back, possibly because it a cool place and great concept. But the customer service could be better and the kitchen shouldn't send out food unless it's perfect which his was not read more

Parkside 23 has such a great local reputation that I've never felt compelled to add to the reviews. But it's only fair that a restaurant that I frequent for both family and work/business meals gets a review from me. Service - always spectacular. Kind, friendly, and helpful hosts/hostesses and servers. Often ask for recommendations when they add new menu items and specials, and they always provide useful insight. Food - consistently good with high quality ingredients. They are farm to table when in season (you can see where they grow produce adjacent to the parking lot). Rotating soup specials are fantastic, and I always try the soup special of the day. They have a variety of dishes that they display on menu based on price points. If I could describe the theme of the menu items it would be classic American comfort foods with some forays into popular ethnic food avenues. Dishes I have enjoyed and repeatedly get include the chicken pot pie, chicken teriyaki lettuce wraps, filet medallions, seasonal risotto, their signature burger, several of their rotating flatbreads, and much more. Their recent addition of Arancini is one of my favorite appetizers. Drinks - They have a great selection of both familiar and unique cocktails. The Gatsby is my favorite. I can't speak to their wine and beer selections since I'm always drawn to their cocktails, but my colleagues always seem pleased with their options. Parkside is a staple in my restaurant rotation. Consistent, reliable, and great overall. Give it a try. read more

Parkside 23 is one of the best casual dining spots in town. The farm to table concept is great here and the service is terrific. Surprisingly, the cheeseburger is one of the best you can get in the area, even though the menu has much more sophisticated options, as well We always have a great experience here, and in the summer, the outdoor patio is fantastic. The ambiance of the inside dining is great though, too. Our server tonight, Jake, was terrific. Very attentive and welcoming. Love this place! read more

Parkside 23 - Back at Parkside 23! My daughter's favorite cheeseburger anywhere. - New American Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Unique menu with something for all diets, appetites and wallet sizes. The dishes are always pleasing and tasty although some can be too oily/buttery at times or not flavorful enough (in my opinion). Portion sizes are great as is service. This is a casual place so jeans are ok but most tend to dress up a bit. Highly recommend you make a reservation in advance as they are always busy. Even on weekdays. Great happy hour drink specials too! But only available at the bar. read more

Stopped by for dinner and got here early since they didn't have any tables available for reservations. The bar was already pretty full by 4:30pm, but we found a table at the back. Our server stopped by often though it was busy. The food was amazing - can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Previously I was very enthusiastic regarding Parkside 23. I was recently advised that the Amish dark meat chicken dinner had been dropped. This was like what my mom and grandma used to make. It was my every time fav. And it is no longer available. read more

Parkside 23 is for sure in my top 3 restaurants to go to in southeastern WI! The food is unbelievably delicious! The salmon is my fav! The variety on the menu makes it hard to choose. Even in the winter - everything is super fresh & flavorful! The staff are always friendly & attentive without being annoying. They always ask if anyone has food allergies or a gluten intolerance. You will feel comfortable whether you're dressed up or in jeans. Reservations required every day. read more

Delicious food, very attentive service. Had the roasted beets with added chicken, loved it! Also had pumpkin gnocchi , which was very tasty, but a bit too much butter for my liking. Such a diverse menu! I try to order something different every time I come. read more

Finally tried Parkside 23 and it did not disappoint! Our server was amazing, the food tasted great. Parkside 23 is versatile- can be a nice date night dinner, family dinner or even dinner with friends. During our visit, we ordered extra protein with our entrees, and really did not need to, so we ended up with so much leftovers. We will definitely be back! read more

Went for lunch with my brother and his wife. We ate outside on the patio which was beautiful and well covered with umbrellas.

Love this place! We've been here many times and tried many things on the menu. Some of our favorites are the specials they run, the salmon and the chicken cobb salad too. Their chicken is amazing on any of the dishes and love their short rib tacos too. I should also mention they have yummy cocktails and they have a garden where they grow some of the vegetables and herbs used in the dishes. read more

I came here with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon. My friend had to call 9 times to get a reservation, which is a bit odd. When we arrived, the place wasn't too busy, so we probably didn't need one. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari, the garden pinsa, and their tomato risotto that was on special. The calamari was quite good but it needed salt and pepper for sure. The garden pinsa was fantastic and possibly the best part of my entire meal. I am glad the waitress recommended it. The risotto was a miss. The rice was overcooked and mushy. The flavor was nice, but unable to redeem a badly cooked risotto. I then had the chicken dumpling soup. It was good but not great. The dumplings were far too dense and tasted of raw flour. It was served in a wide and shallow bowl which cooled the soup too quickly. I had the veal as my entree. The veal itself was very good. I liked the sauce. the spaetzle wasn't great. It also had a bit of a raw flour taste. I don't like the way they lay out their menu by price. It makes it a bit hard to read and it really doesn't make any sense. The service was very good and I would return, but am in no hurry. read more

First time. Great service. Our waiter was fun, friendly and attentive but not overly so. We skipped appetizers but won free desserts. I had a saffron seafood special that was delicious.

The food is always delicious. Highly recommend getting there early and grab a seat in the bar area and enjoy the ambiance.

Our party of 15 made reservations two weeks prior and upon our arrival, we were seated without issue. My family of four split the braised short rib, butter baked chicken, kids' chicken meal and crème brûlée. The braised short rib was a generous hunk of tender, juicy meat sitting on a mountainous pile of mashed potatoes. Our girls didn't care for the potatoes or honey glazed carrots, but they enjoyed the short rib. The butter baked chicken and kids' chicken meal are very similar with the major difference being the gravy on the adult version and the sides. For the adult version, it came with mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots, and corn bread muffin. My husband is usually not a fan of the corn bread muffin but this particular one was a welcoming surprise for him and he claimed it was once of the best he's ever had. Needless to say, we cleared the whole plate. The kids' meal came with macaroni and cheese and our girls thoroughly enjoyed both the chicken and carbs. The crème brûlée, a key staple at most restaurants, was delicious. It was creamy, pudding-like with a delicate brittle touch. read more

Food is outstanding. I had duck and my husband had salmon. Both were done to perfection. The waiter made excellent wine pairing suggestions and he was spot on! I also love the farm to table concept. They have a lovely patio and I usually try to get seated out there when I can. My only criticism is that the dining room is very dark. There no natural light at all. I prefer light and airy places to eat BUT this would not deter me from going there. read more

Love the food and farm to table concept. However, for someone who has a serious allergy to garlic it is disappointing that their menu does not identify which items contain garlic such as the mashed potatoes. There also seems to be a lack of interest to make any substitutions in order to avoid said garlic. read more

Having a youthful feeling for Parkside 23, due to my elementary school, Dixon, being right next door, I had remembered when the restaurant opened, replacing Sticks and Stones. Strongly anticipating my enjoyment and appreciation for the community, food, and philosophy of PS 23, I quickly made a reservation for the morning. With incredible excitement for the rich canvas of juicy roast meat, and the intent to discover more about the closely-connected farm to table freshness, I asked for the Double Smash Burger with a side of vegetables, grown carefully in the exceptionally-maintained farm next to the restaurant. Sprouting naturally from raised beds, the farm is a sustainable source of the produce that plays a central role in the creation of changing culinary offerings throughout the seasons. - A meaningful way to integrate the natural resources of Brookfield into the restaurant operations! My server, Thomas, was a joy to talk with and receive help from! Being conscientious of my preferences, he and the chefs made sure that the beef was cooked to a perfect medium rare. With rich earthy splendor, the 2 patties that comprise the 1/3 pound burger are incredibly tender and melty, especially when pared with a slice of locally-sourced Sargento cheese. Parkside 23 is truly where Brookfield, and the communities of greater Milwaukee come to hang out, to feel wholesome, and to grow in meaningful conversation. Thank you, Parkside 23 for celebrating local fresh protein and produce, while getting to know each other this morning. I truly appreciate our kind, personal, and giving rapport. Sincerely, Thadd read more

One of my favorite places. The food and service is always great. If you love farm to table the. You'll love this place. The flavors and options are amazing and we'll rounded for everyone. One of my wife and I'd go to date nights which we find our selves eating on the patio in the summer but last night we ate inside. All great options. A couple observations and recommendations. - Burger night on mondays is a must. Beer and burger. - Friday night fish fry is amazing and I'd substitute for risotto. Yum. - since we haven't eaten inside for a while we noticed the dust and how lights and chandeliers were dusty and dirty. - pork fries - holy cow yum! - short rib tacos - wife's faves. Lastly if you can get Aaron as your waiter he is hands down the best. read more
