I recently went with a group of friends and family to Nessun Dorma for a post wedding brunch…read more We tried to make a reservation, since we were a group of seven, but they would not take one. Luckily when we got there the back room was open and they pushed some tables together for us. I'd like to make this a 2.5-star review. The food was quite good. We enjoyed our drinks. The atmosphere was as cozy as ever. Our service was deeply disappointing. Our server, A.S., might have been tired or something. I can't speak for her state of mind, but she was really detached and borderline dismissive. Yes, we got all of our food. We would certainly have ordered more drinks, increasing our tab and gratuity, but she never came back and asked if anyone wanted one. One of our guests ordered avocado toast. Apparently they were out. She came back and said "Whoever ordered the avocado toast, we're out." She didn't know who ordered which dish to start, and then she didn't bring a menu back so the guest could make an informed second choice. They had to just order whatever they remembered. Coffee drinkers were offered one refill - just one. Seriously, I don't know what was going on, but we left pretty quickly since our celebratory mood was being squelched. I hope she recovered from whatever was wrong with her.

I might be the target audience for this place…read more Wauwatiki Bar and Grill is a Wisconsinite's wet dream paradise. This is first and foremost a dive, with a solid food menu featuring gluten free and other allergy conscious foods on top of carribean staples like Jerk Chicken and Hawaiian fare like Poke. Prices for drinks - within the category of Tiki - are low. Plenty of classics smashed into a 12$ price tag and done well, with only some balance issues a snob like me would notice. My Mai Tai was solid, with a big focus on the curacao. My partners Banana DTO was a splendid sugary cocktail - which suited her extremely well. The garnish was also awesome! A banana dolphin catching a "fish". Jerk Chicken Hoagie was also very good, although dry. It isn't suppose to be 100% authentic, but the flavor is there and has a good kick of spice. It also came out FAST! Within a few minutes. Look, I love a good dive bar and I absolutely adore tiki. This is the kind of place I can spend hours in sippin on adult beverages and catching up with friends. It's a neighborhood spot that extremely welcoming. I think even the most tiki elitest would have to agree that this place is at least a great hang, regardless of what they think about the drinks. Would you rather have your Mai Tai be 18$? I don't think so.

The mojitos sign outside is really what caught my eye! I will be back to try one of those LOL. They…read morehad so many different flavors like a spicy passionfruit sound so good right now. Even though Id idnt get a drink, my friend and I did order some food. She got the fried rice with shrimp and I got the fries with spicy aioli. The fries were seasoned with a sweet and salty mix. I thought it was very on theme for the tiki bar. The spicy aioli was not too spicy but definetely brought another flavor element to the fries. Now I didnt really like the fried rice. I thought it lacked flavor despite having ingredients like pineapple and edamame. It just tasted like onions to me. I wish the soy sauce flavor had come through more. It just didn't hit that tropical feel I hoped it would. I did LOVE the egg. The yolk definetely helped add a texture to the fried rice that made it more enjoyable for me. I would try the food again next time I come to try those mojitos hahah!! This place is definitely very cute and aesthetic. I would absolutely invite more girl friends to come here for drinks.

We are so grateful to Vier North for helping make my parents' 50th wedding anniversary so special!…read moreThey graciously hosted our family of 35 on Saturday, and everything was wonderful. Bryan, Melissa and the staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and accommodating throughout the process of planning and the day if. They made our large group feel so welcome and helped create a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and wonderful memories. Thank you to the entire Vier North team for going above and beyond. We truly appreciate your hospitality and would highly recommend you for any special occasion!

My first time at Vier North was during Summerfest, we were there to take the shuttle which I…read moreappreciate because it's the only one in the immediate area. Not like the good old days when the yellow school bus would pick up from several North Ave bars. Alas... As of 2026, you can ride the shuttle if you either a.) buy two drinks or b.) buy a $10 voucher which can be used for food or drink then or another time. Their shuttle goes to Brewer games as well! We got a drink and the bus showed up not too long after, we were the first on the small bus but it quickly filled. I would say don't be like us, give yourself more time to get there in case the shuttle waits for people or traffic is bad by the destination. My only complaint is on the way back from the fest, the driver took the wrong ramp and we were headed to Bayview until the first exit was available. He didn't communicate that to us which was weird. "Oops, sorry everyone" would have been a normal thing to say. At that point we were Vier South instead of Vier North. Recently we came back to use our vouchers for dinner, the plan was fish fries because we're always on the hunt for a good one. The fish pieces were smaller and you get 4 (my photos make it look larger). We joked it's more like cod nuggets, I'd prefer 2 larger pieces with more fish inside. Some of what you saw was batter and not fish so a little deceiving. The fries and coleslaw were good but we didn't like the sweeter tarter sauce. Overall we were very full but for me, I wouldn't get the fish fry again not due to taste but fish fries are expensive everywhere and I prefer more fish and thinner batter. Next time, I'd try a burger. The cloud bread was on my list to try for a long time but it was just okay in my opinion. Their pizza looks good too so I want to try some other items on the menu. The service was fine, I think we came around a shift change so several people helped us. The interior was well done, it looks so much better now and that patio is a great addition. The bar near the bathrooms has a little sitting area that looked chill. They have poker nights and other fun things so check it out!

BayView has been needing another great cocktail spot so I was so excited to hear that this was opening up! Calegero's doesn't take reservations but we were able to get a table for two right away despite it being quite busy. There is indoor and outdoor seating available! The ambiance is dark, moody and cool. There are some slot machines in the back so it's a blend of upscale cocktail bar with some Midwest flair. Service was fast and friendly throughout. I was particularly impressed with the expansive cocktail list! There were probably 7-8 different takes on Italian spritzes which I love! Food options include cheese and charcuterie plates, flatbreads, and Italian sandwiches. Limited gluten free options but our server did say they plan to offer gluten free flatbreads in the future. Can't wait to come back!

The lamb lollipop was a great start-it's one chop, so I recommend one per person...you won't be disappointed-sauce and accompaniments were right on, and served over a mini saganaki. Short rib pasta was solid, while the pork chop was excellent. Chili oil infused sauce was just the right amount of heat, while pureed black beans with fried plantains on top went with it well. Their carrot cake is a good representation of this staple dessert.

Brussels were a little overdone on the honey and overall sweetness, but still good. Wrap had the right amount of spice to it. Would come back to try some other stuff out in the future.

In the lower level there is a bar and arcade games as well as tables to hang out. We had a great encounter with Moe and Six as bartenders. We asked Moe what she recommended and then asked her to surprise us. She came through with "Purple Rain" and it did not disappoint. Then we asked Six go for the Karamel Chameleon and Ektoplasm and she did not disappointed either. They were both quick with their service and very nice. We also spoke to Kat at the bar on the main floor. I had asked how long to business had been open and the response was around two months. We got to try the Cat Fish Bites and Banana Foster's French Toast which were on point. I am not a big fish eating person, but the hubby is. Both were very good. We also ordered the Teenage Mutant Mozzarella Sticks and the Totcho Man Ranchy Savage which were both delicious as well. We all played 80's trivia which was a blast, made us really start thinking...lol. All around we had a great time!
