    WOW! We have been wanting to come here for years and finally made it happen, and I'm already planning my next trip. Overview: great spot with supper club atmosphere but a steakhouse menu that delivers exceptional quality. Details to follow: This experience start to finish was outstanding. A true supper club vibe: you arrive and are offered a seat at the bar to enjoy a cocktail while they get your table ready. When you are ready to sit down you are escorted to the cozy dining room where the friendly staff gives recommendations and takes your order. I do not say this lightly: this is absolutely, in my humble opinion, the BEST STEAK in Milwaukee. We had the ribeye and oh my goodness it was incredible. I am actually not a big steak fan because I often find them to be under or overcooked from what I ordered and almost always spit a lot of the meat out because I find it to be tough and chewy. I ate this entire steak- which was a perfect medium, as ordered. I even said to my husband while we were eating "this might be the first time ever I've gotten a true MEDIUM steak when I ordered medium". Also Bud Selig was eating there when we got there which was pretty cool. And don't sleep on the cocktails! My aviation with Hendricks was wonderful. Thanks Kevin and the rest of the staff for a wonderful experience!

    Went here on a Saturday night after seeing the place next to Gerber Collision. Old school vibes. Great Braves/Brewers memorabilia. Started at the bar and had a cocktail. Moved seamlessly to the table and had the shrimp appetizer followed by solid red meat. Wine list is not pretentious with multiple good California options. Meredith was attentive and answered our endless stream of questions. Crème brûlée was as I like it - light, straightforward and unembellished by other stuff. Overall - menu has limited options but everything we had was done well. Certainly plan to return.

    Had a lovely dinner at The Jackson Grill last night. The amazing vibe in that place! Love sitting at the bar to eat always because Kevin, the bartender is a show too. We had dirty martinis and some cosmos. Appetizer was a shrimp scampi. For entrees, we ordered: Tournedos Three peppercorn crusted Medallions a la portabella e crème bordelaise Filet with portabella Seared scallops with risotto Chef knocked it out of the park with all of these proteins. Love that nothing has changed! The salads we had were very fresh with housemade dressings. This supper club has such old school energy that I'm in love with. Food and cocktails are perfect.

    a true supper club experience - and I think this will really give friends who come to visit the *wisconsin* experience. the interior is unassuming, you absolutely aren't coming here for the vibes. minimal aesthetics. but the food was surprisingly good - which I expected given that I came here a week after my friend recommended it to me. I wanted to try the wagyu which was a special and it was very yummy. Got to be too chewy and full of fat towards the end though. And the crab bisque soup was soooo warm and delicious, perfect for dipping the bread in! One of my faves for sure. I think the garlic noodles had a lot of potential if they didn't use farfalle. a twirly noodle was what I had in mind instead. The airline chicken was such a miss. They had run out of 3 things on the menu (that I had been eyeing up before) so I was initially super disappointed. And shockingly they even had a plant based meat on the menu too. The vanilla bean creme brulee was a must have, perfect way to end dinner

    Amazing choices.  Elegant made easy. Love this!

    Diamond in the rough. Service personable, knowledgeable and professional! The ambience is date approved. The service is great. They greet you and assist you soon after entering the door. The drinks are made perfectly. I don't get martinis or sidecars anywhere but I do here! The bar and seating area are beautiful. The food is just amazing I have not yet had anything I didn't like. Steak dishes are grilled to perfection. I would suggest the mushrooms and butter. Scallops perfect not sandy and tender. The pork chops are a good portion and tender with garlic confit a la portabella! The airline chicken is so much more but love the name. Brown butter, golden, tender, juicy with garlic mash and asparagus! Yes! I'm looking forward to the medallions with creme bordelaise! Stay tuned. I'll let you know. Need I say dessert? I've had the lava cake and creme brule. Both are great. I'll try bananas foster next! Recommended!

    1000% can't wait to go back. This cute little restaurant on the south side had a supper club like menu and everything was delicious. The Cajun bbq shrimp may have been the best thing I have ever had. The sea bass was a perfect portion and cooked to perfection! And our server Mal was the best.

    Made a reservation for 2 on NYE- 8:30pm Arrived solo and decided to just order at the bar ~ accommodated politely. Very cozy establishment, loved the original blonde intact back bar, gave a historic time stamp of its Era... however the lighting choices, a big box 1980s flair, with continuity of a dry brown paint throughout, was drab. Not complementary of the character this establishment still holds after decades. 38capacity and 3floor staff, type 'quaint' and welcoming. My old fashioned cocktail made by Kevin was perfect~ the warm bread, salad and wine pairing, perfect start. I ordered a medium rare steak with scallops and garlic mash. The scallops were buttery perfect texture and delicious, steak nearly WELL done, and a firm portabella, bit too much for my taste.. albeit I was taken care of right away and it was agreed~ steak overcooked. I went outside came back in to a fresh, hot, perfectly delicious med rare steak I enjoyed greatly. I learned the owners are the kitchen staff, it was the end of night and it's so easy for select meats to cook quickly. Round two was perfect, I will be back with friends and will do my 'interior designers' best, not to salivate over the brown blank canvas this place presents itself to my brain. (What I do to these walls, could be delicious too)

    Salmon with crab hash and asparagus!

    I was looking for a good steak and we found this listing with great rating but minimal number as they had just reopened under new management. Nice little supper club nestled in a neighborhood. Friendly bartenders and great house cocktails. Try black manhattan! I had the grilled 16 oz ribeye, medium. It was thick, slightly blackened and delicious, with crab bisque and broccoli with pepper sauce all were awesome. My wife had salmon with crab hash and Asparagus, it was also awesome. Our servers were friendly and attentive. I love ribeye and this was of the best I've had. Definitely going back!

    Definitely a quirky location. Love the supper club atmosphere. Didn't sit at bar as I was with me daughter but cool. The were great answering questions via messenger. Menu is not huge but we knew that. Filet was spot on and rare lol Iike ordered. My daughter lives it too. Service was great. Will definitely be back.

    Step back in time. On street parking seems limited. The menu looks great and the drink menu is extensive.

    Bone in ribeye, chard on the outside, medium rare plus in the inside

They really deliver on service…read moreand flavor, consistently, and they seem research where to get the best and most unique cuts of beef and how best to prepare it. They have steaks you won't find anywhere else in town, or they'll be the first to have it available in the entire state! Sides, apps, and desserts are always great, too! Most recently, we shared the Wagyu Brisket and Gnocchi appetizer (again, no one else has this on their menu), and it was amazing! Our 8oz filet and 20oz bone-in ribeye were perfectly cooked to temperature, and the Truffle Frites and Brussels sprouts were great options for our steaks. The Dark Chocolate Mousse Bar and added vanilla ice cream from local premium ice cream makerr, Scratch, made for the perfect end to our dinner. My girlfriend loved her Pick Me Up (Espresso Martini), and I enjoyed my Chef's A-5 Manhattan, made with Sazerac "washed in Japanese A-5 beef fat," and again - what other place is doing this?!?!

It's rare to find a place where every bite leaves you wanting more. I can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings.

    We visited this restaurant before when the hotel first opened, so we were excited to try it again…read morevisiting family over the holiday. Overall, I would give this experience 3.5 / 5 stars . The vegan options were pretty limited compared to last time, but I was able to try the hummus. Unfortunately, I found what appeared to be bacon mixed in with the Brussel sprouts, so I wasn't able to eat that. I didn't see that listed on the menu. Otherwise, I would've chose something else. Loved the smokiness in the hummus and the other roasted veggies. To drink, I had the Eldr Rummer. It was good and I appreciated the presentation of the flame on top. It was exactly the tropical drink you would expect. Ambiance - I like that they kept with modern wood feel with the plants. Very nice mixed in with leather and wooden seating. Service - our server was wonderful! She was holding it down for the entire restaurant.

We got the lobster cake which was packed with seafood delicious. Ordered the filet migion medium rare and my coworker ordered the ribeye also medium rare. The interesting thing was when we got the steak and made the fist cut then looked at the each other immediately as we saw more pink instead of red in the middle. Talked with the waiter who apologized and said they would remake the steak. We didn't think that it was a big deal. They gave us a coupe of free desserts as well. The manager also came and apologized. Very nice customer services

However, I went this past weekend and once again was so disappointed in their steak. They are definitely using a lower quality meat and at $68+ you just can't do that. My family is/has been in the restaurant business my whole life. Capitol Grill is cutting corners. I certainly understand that beef has skyrocketed however in lieu of that, offer a smaller portion-do not skimp on the quality. I was not the only one who had an inferior steak. Everyone who ordered it complained. It's not that it wasn't cooked properly. It is a poorer grade than should be served at this type of restaurant and cost. The sides were great as well as their deserts but that is not the main course. They should make the main course "shine". People will remember a fibrous steak even though the sides are good. Unfortunately someone has to say something or they will continue and that is a shame. Not everyone has unlimited funds to dine out. There are people who save up for months for a special occasion and end up with sub-par food. I certainly hope the management hears the message.
