The Chef's Corner at Downtown Kitchen has been cooking up some stellar dishes the past few months!…read moreIt's also great to be able to ask the chef questions about the dishes about allergies, etc., or just to give feedback, especially for great dishes. Healthier options like Curry-rubbed Mahi-Mahi with Asian salad, Salmon salad with rice noodles and watermelon radish, and Buttermilk Chicken Salad have impressed me, and heartier dishes including Lamb Curry with cumin rice, Garlic Chicken with black pepper rice, Garlic Pork Bites with polenta cakes, and today's Beef Bourguignon have all been excellent! The Lamb Curry dish is in my top 3-5 all-time favorite dishes from Downtown Kitchen! I'm a big Clam Chowder fan, but I'm picky, and the one I had a month or two ago may have been the best one made here. It had a thick and creamy, well-seasoned base with plenty of clams and potatoes. Definitely a strong showibg! They have chili available daily now for the colder seasons, and I look forward to trying it again soon, since it's been very good the past few years!

A HUGE change from when I frequented the place in 2020 and prior. There were activity areas, games, a plethora of restaurants to choose from. The seating was limited on the first floor, though I didn't venture around as much as I would have liked. The restrooms are located just outside the dining hall area and were extremely clean and well maintained. I've already reviewed one of the food spots but there were so many to choose from as well as many that had bar service. Again, I can't stress enough how much of a difference it was to see the place being enjoyed once again. I'm definitely going to revisit at some point because I saw three or four restaurants I'd love to try out. And it's not a far walk from the Museum or Baird center, so no need to pay for parking twice.

But parking is paid parking on the street, with spots hard to find. Once the parking situation is resolved, things are great. The vibes inside was awesome - very open, with lots of seating. There seems to be tons of seating options, and outdoor seating as well for when the days are warmer. And for a brewery, the most important thing? The beer, of course! And it was good. We've had their beer before and have always like them. It was great getting some more on draft. Agro pop IPA Yummy!! Panther pale ale OK, but not my fave. I wouldn't get it again. Cheese curds $14 These were delicious, but it did get salty after munching through the plate. We were limiting ourselves to just one drink, and needed more drinks or another food item to mediate our tastebuds. I'd order again with a proper meal or with more booze. Service was super nice, though not quite polished, which I don't mind at all. Points for a nice smilze!

Arrived a bit late on a…read moreSaturday night and they were very busy, I'd recommend not being late like me, there is a 15 min grace period but after that the table goes to who's next. We sat at the bar, got drinks and food. Our bartender James was amazing, very attentive and friendly. The restaurant looked amazing, most were dressed casually but you can certainly dress up for an occasion if you wish. We were seated very close to the musicians and they have live music every day, it was such a lovely touch to the entire experience. The Parmesan crackers were offered sort of like a bread before the meal and they were delicious, tasted like a healthy cheez it. I had the fortune teller drink and my friend had a lemon drop, both were delicious and we felt great after. My friend had the pan chicken which she really enjoyed but did wish the portion was larger. I had the lamb ragu pappardelle which was a buttery type of sauce, very filling and the lamb was very tender. We finished our visit with a scoop of raspberry sorbet and another of salted caramel ice cream which were also delicious. They had various ice cream flavors, I'd love to go back and actually try their steak!

I usually go with friends/coworkers because the bags are shareable, or you can get a bag for yourself and have some leftovers. Dining in is always enjoyable, it's very spacious and the playlist will either have you dancing in your seat or singing along between seafood bites. They offer lots of gloves, water, and napkins at their self serve area. They also have a selection of canned sodas (most of the deals/specials come with a free canned drink and jalapeño cornbread ) and cocktails at the bar. They also offer sides like green beans and rice. My favorite side is the garlic butter noodles! I often mix it in with leftover sauce at the bottom of the seafood bag for an added kick. The cornbread is also really good; it has small bits of jalapeño inside and is a great balance of spicy, savory, and sweet.

Even though there was a convention in the city, I was able to be seated right away. Santalina, server, had greeted me shortly and then was able to take my order, Warrior's Feast and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. The extensive menu has a little bit of everything. Even though the restaurant was pretty steady, my order was delivered timely. The entree was just what I requested with crispier hash browns. Santalina did check in couple of times. The diner has various tables to chose from with large windows to watch what's going on outside. The restaurant was not loud so a person can have a normal conversation without raising your voice. This was a great find.

That cheese is amazing and I loved it on my cheese steak! Today's mac n cheese flavors included chipotle cheddar with Andouille sausage. I've had that one before and it rocks! The Gouda Girls are often at Chill on the Hill in Bay View, members nights at the zoo and other events and corporate locations. Find them around town and eat their food!

GLUTEN FREE GRILLED CHEESE. Need I say more?…read more My gluten free tribe knows how hard it is to find these foods. Ever since the closing of the late, lamented Melthouse on Kenilworth, there has been nowhere for a gluten free foodie to get a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich in Milwaukee. Search no more!! They have a large menu of hot sandwiches, most of which can be made gluten free. On my first visit I tried the Havarti Hottie, a fabulous combination of Havarti and ghost pepper cheeses, thick bacon, and fig jam, all grilled to toasty perfection on GF bread. The sweetness of the jam nicely cut through the slight heat of the pepper cheese. I was blown away by how delicious the sandwich was. I know I have to come back and try all the other ones. I highly recommend this spot as downtown's best kept secret. Great place to meet people for lunch. Easy and ample (metered) street parking nearby. Tons of sunny (indoor) seating. And it's a mini food court, with three other restaurants so your friends have choices. One week later: I returned to try the Cheesesteak on gluten free bread. I got it with all the fixings:. Onions, peppers, mushrooms. I must say, everything was great EXCEPT the steak. For one thing, it was cut in chunks, which I thought was weird for a Cheesesteak. Worse, the meat was all gristle. I could not chew it. I ended up taking all the meat out of the sandwich and eating it that way. Also, the sandwich would have been easier to eat if it had been cut in half. I'll return, but I'll be sticking with the grilled cheese.
