The service was great-the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The inside was very nice and has an elegant vibe. The eggplant chips tasted great, super thin and well seasoned. I wanted to taste and feel a little more eggplant, but they were chips and followed through with the assignment! The piccante pasta is one of my favorites, and not just because chicken is included vs. an add on. The shape of the pasta is super fun and holds the sauce perfectly. The sauce is phenomenal, I normally ask for all the salt, Parmesan, red pepper, etc. up front because I'm so used to things being under-seasoned but not with this dish! It had the perfect amount of salt and spice in addition to the pasta having the ideal al dente cook to it. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back for more!

I always hesitate paying a bunch for pasta, but this fettuccine was the perfect balance that didn't make me feel too bloated or sickly after from the amount of cheese. I don't think I'd do the breaded chicken again with this, but I already knew it would hit on some of their other dishes. Overall very nice, and I'd love to try their pasta flight next time I'm in town

I lived just outside Milwaukee in the days of JD stalking his victims at what was Grand Avenue. I…read moredidn't come down to the shops there regularly, but I was familiar enough with things that the "new" design of the Avenue is surprising and welcome. I ended up at the Hall one day recently because a friend had a coupon for a free sandwich from one of the vendors. I wasn't in the mood for much, so I wandered and took in the large variety of food and drink on offer. (If you can't find something here to satisfy yourself, you're not trying hard enough.) The space itself was large, open, and very noisy. Restrooms were clean. I'll be back some day when I can bring a beer drinker so we can experience City Fountain. I've been to other self-serve tap bars, and they're quite fun!!

A quiet fine dining experience tucked in the Bay View neighborhood…read more Our visit to Sage to celebrate an anniversary dinner was delightful. It's located in the historic White House. And the restaurant embraces that history and weaves it into the dining experience with the decor, heirlooms and anecdotes. The menu changes seasonally. Both seasons that I have seen were small but well-balanced with something to please most palates. We enjoyed the stuffed dates, the carrot curry soup, the salmon and the beef tenderloin. All of them were amazing. Seasoning was subtle to let the flavors of the ingredients shine through. And the cooking and execution was fantastic. Their cocktails are complex and delicious. And the creme brulee dessert was one of the best I've had in the city. The service was good, but this isn't a place you come for a quick bite and run. It's a place to converse, to sip, and enjoy some decadent bites.

Our friends were seated first and were in full sun for about an hour and a half, which wasn't ideal, but they also didn't want to complain. Maybe some shades could be installed?

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!

The cheese curds were flavorful but it was chewy which could just be because we picked up the food. The fries could've been better too. The wings were a bit dry and we got the Nashville hot sauce which had 4 fire signs which was misleading because it was actually spicy sweet instead of actual spice. I would just say to be upfront about that but the wings itself were great! Fried to perfection and packed with the flavor. They gave so many more sauces than we originally asked which was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely recommend this place to try once for the wings.

Friendly vegan spot (5/5 Green Stars) If you're visiting…read moreMilwaukee then a visit to E Brady St. is probably worth your while - a few interesting spots here, including Twisted Plants. I wanted to support my vegan brothers and sisters and, having being on the road (actually on Amtrak, so rails, really) for a while, I was craving some protein. Following the advice of the friendly staff members, I opted for an order of "Drummies" (Dazed & Confused) to maximize my protein intake. I ended up eating it in the restaurant and thought the vegan drumsticks were delicious with the two homemade sauces provided (ranch and chili). This dish is pricier than most of the others ($15, compared to a more reasonable $4 for fries or $10 for vegan mozzarella sticks) but memorable. The place could do with a few tweaks in terms of décor/atmosphere but the friendly staff helped make it a nice experience. I'm also rating the Twisted Plants 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * Everything on the menu - savory food and pastries - is vegan. * Most of the food packaging is compostable. * Staff members are happy to tell you what's in your food. The drummies that I ordered are from Lily's Vegan Pantry - made in Taiwan from soy and seasoning (no palm oil). * Cookies are from local vegan entrepreneur, Bunny's Bite. * It fills a useful niche of craveable vegan (elevated) fast food. Next time I want to try the Crispy Chik'n Salad (made with organic greens) as it's one of those dishes I never tried before I went veggie.
