The Trade Hotel has to be the best hotel in Milwaukee. If you're in town for a concert or a game your steps away from Fiserv arena. The price though isn't for the faint of heart. The rooms were gorgeous and very high ceilings. You can tell Marriott put money into this property from the bedsheets to the little things you might not notice. The employees were all very friendly. If money isn't a concern and you're staying in Downtown Milwaukee I would highly recommend The Trade Hotel.
Craft is the first floor bar/restaurant in the new Trade Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. It's a beautiful space in the Deer District, offering incredible food and a large selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. First and foremost, our server Shahira was AMAZING! She was very attentive, constantly checking in with us to make sure we had everything we wanted. Our drinks and food came out quickly and always with a smile. We started with the giant pretzel and meat and cheese board. Delicious and perfect for sharing with our table of 6. I had the Shaved Brussel Sprout and Kale salad as my entree, and it was hands down the best salad I've ever had in a restaurant. The large pieces of crispy prosciutto were very flavorful and a welcome (not to mention long overdue) change to the typical croutons. These and the generous sized shaved cheeses were the perfect compliment to the craisins and vinaigrette dressing, creating a refreshing salty-sweet balance. The portion was sizeable and could have easily been shared (although I took my leftovers home and enjoyed them the next day without the greens being soggy at all). Craft is absolutely a winning experience and perfect for date night or groups. Worth going back again and again.
This review is for the lobby restaurant. Visited after a Bucks game. Service was slow but we could tell that would be an issue when we arrived so we put in our order right away. Drinks arrived after our meal. I really liked the vibe and the wings/charcuterie board were solid. The lobby is beautiful and very relaxing. We will definitely come back soon for a staycation and I'll provide an update of the full hotel and restaurants!
Came here with my bestie for a girls night and to check out The Trade. We opted for the appetizers and drinks on the rooftop. We loved that we were able to light the fire, its such a nice compliment paired with the city views. The drinks and food are a little on the pricier side, but they all were very good! Plenty of space and seating. Nice customer service as well!
Craft restaurant...since they don't have their own page... The perfect location for a pregame or concert meal and drinks, IF they can get the service figured out Stopped in before a concert, with a reservation, and was seated right away but waited for a long time to be acknowledged at all and much much longer to even get water. We ordered drinks, apps and entrees right away to avoid future delays. But both of our $15 drinks say undelivered on the bar for nearly 15 minutes leaving the one on ice watered down and the other no longer chilled. Meanwhile there were three bartenders with two clearly without anything to do as they leaned and chatted. Our food actually came out in a decent amount of time (and was when we pointed out we hadn't gotten our cocktails). But the soup came without a spoon but we were told they'd grab one. We actually tried the soup with a fork but it wasnt really warm when we got it and was cold and clumpy by the time a spoon arrived. Meanwhile our check (over $100) has been silently and quickly slipped onto our table without anyone ever asking how things were, if we needed anything etc, which we did as the soda we'd ordered AND was on the bill had never come. After we ignored the bill a while the server did check in and when we said most of the food was good but the soup was inedible it was taken off our check. But when the manager I asked to speak with came over we were pretty much brushed off saying it was a concert night and there were only three servers but he'd have a talk with the server. Mind you at this point the restaurant was well under half capacity, we had made a fairly late reservation for concert time (we didn't need to see opener). No real apology was given and I definitely don't think they cared thus meaning I doubt anything will change. Wish I could recommend because location is amazing and menu is good. The wings, curds deviled eggs and grilled cheese were all excellent. Wings felt like a great value. If only they could have been even a little more attentive or dropped a sincere apology. To me a busy night means slow food, I get that. That was NOT the issue!! With a manager at least one hostess and MANY bussers there should have been someone who could have helped pick up some slack...
This is my second time coming to Craft at The Trade Hotel. My first experience was for cocktails after having dinner at Il Cervo and the experience and drinks were good. So I wanted to return with another friend to try out dinner. Since the food other guests were getting looked good last time I was there. We had 6:30pm reservations and arrived around 6:20pm. The host was able to seat us at our reserved table right away. The restaurant was majority filled (many guests likely were making their way to the Shania Twain concert like ourselves). Ten minutes after being seated our waitress pops over to just say she will be with us in a few. Another TWENTY FIVE minutes go by before she comes back thankfully we've had 35 minutes to look over the menu so we order our apps, entree and drinks all at once. Also requesting to finally get some water... another five minutes goes by and we finally get a carafe of water. I ordered the same cocktail I received last time I went so I knew what it looked like from our table we could see the bar pick up for servers to get the drinks for tables. I saw what looked to be our two drinks so I did a clock check and kept an eye on the situation just due to how our night already was going service wise. Twelve minutes our drinks sat! Likely a little longer even because that's just when I happened to notice because it was taking a while. Our food came out fairly quick (before we received our drinks) with two waitstaff who had no idea what table they were delivering to (yes we ordered a decent amount of food... we were excited to try and review!) they went to a table that had already eaten and then were moving their way to the other side of the room when I spoke up to say "that's ours!". After they gave us our food I asked if they could grab our drinks sitting at the bar! The food all looked really good, we were missing a spoon for the soup and when they placed it down they said they would be right back with one- no one ever returned with a spoon. I also still had not gotten my Diet Pepsi which was ordered with everything else. Food review: Deviled Eggs- they were good- but just okay Cheese Curds- these were amazing- we ordered it with the Cajun Ranch however I can't review that because we were given regular Wings( Sprecher Bbq)- surprised by how many are in the app! We figured 20 wings. They had a nice flavor and weren't super messy to eat which was nice. Also the side carrot and celery nice and fresh and crispy! Chipotle Chicken Grill Cheese- it was good, different type of sandwich then I've ordered before, wasn't super flavorful no intense kick that I was expecting but a safe choice to order. The side fries are good however we ordered it to come with their homemade chips that we were quite looking forward to trying. Beer Cheese Soup- once we finally got a spoon the soup was cold not even a bit warm so it didn't really taste that great. Drink Review: Old Fashioned- was watered down a bit due to sitting but was good Club Clover- was originally given the wrong drink had to confirm with her what I ordered and then told her my drink was still sitting at the bar since I knew it was served in a martini glass- had I not known that I likely would have drank whatever she handed me not realizing I had the wrong drink. It was okay- since it sat it was no longer chilled and I prefer to drink my martinis cold not room temp! Back into our service- a few bites of food in the waitress quickly slides the bill on the table- no words exchanged. My friend and I look at each other like okay.... I look at the bill and laugh because I still haven't received my soda and I thought maybe she forgot about it/it won't be on the bill and I would have just called that a wash. Nope it's on there- so when she popped out to serve the table near us I pointed it out and asked if I could finally get my soda I'm being charged for. At this time we also asked for a spoon again for the soup! When my friend went to the ladies room our server FINALLY asked "how was everything" I told her the food was good but the soup was not since it was cold. She said she'd remove the soup from our bill. At the same time my friend had asked for the manager. The manager came over and said he already removed the soup- we said yes paths crossed and that was adjusted and we wanted to let him know about the not so great wait times - he said it was a busy evening with the concert and he only had three servers. We didn't even get a chance to say several items were ordered wrong. It felt very just pushed off- we understand it was a busy evening but when we arrived several tables were wrapping up and didn't get new guests, the restaurant wasn't at capacity and truthfully small things such as getting a carafe of water within the first ten minutes of being seated, maybe quickly taking a drink order, or checking in throughout the meal a few times would have extremely changed our experience.
Absolutely gorgeous property ! Gabbi and Ryan at the bar make a fantastic team . I'll Cervo restaurant is phenomenal too!! I'm a life time titanium member because I am loyal to Marriott and this is in their autograph portfolio only problem I had was they didn't even acknowledge my status and I got a room with a Veiw of what looked like a headstone! With fake flowers peeping through the snow . Y'all can do better than this I know ! I made reservations well over a month before this seemed like just throw me anywhere type of attempt !
Dropped by the Trade Hotel to visit Il Cervo for a late night drink and good chat with friends. Very busy place on a Friday evening. We didn't need a resy; it was more so if you can find a seat you're in the clear. Upon walking up to the bar, you can really gauge a sense of the decor that was put into the establishment. Very open space with dim lighting to visually see everything and give you that Italian culture and feel. The bar area was a bit hectic - it's clear they are new and still have some kinks to work out. The staff serving the customers were semi discombobulated yet made it work as best as they could. We didn't know where to order drinks from or grab a drink menu booklet. We randomly found some books on the bar table and flagged down a bartender to place our orders. They were made fairly quickly as well. I would say the drinks are moderately priced for downtown Milwaukee but the view is pretty gorgeous.
This place had a beautiful ambiance. There was a bar on the first floor and an Italian restaurant/ rooftop bar in the hotel as well. I specifically went for the views. There were a lot of people here on dates or celebrating a birthday. I cannot attest to the food because I did not have it firsthand but based on looks alone everything looked delicious.
This review is for their bar. We had awesome cocktails and cheese curds. The pull on the cheese curds was amazing. The cocktails delicious. And the service was amazing.

Stayed at The Trade for a work trip. What a charming find! Located in the downtown area. The location is so great! The hotel has a rooftop bar, live music/dining on the second floor, and another restaurant on the first floor. The Trade is a Marriott autograph collection hotel. The attention to detail is off the chain! The front desk staff was so friendly. Check in was easy. I was given an overview of the hotel including amenities. I was provided a bottle of water for my walk. There is extra water (complimentary) which can be found in your room too. I had the opportunity to enjoy breakfast at the first floor restaurant. The avocado toast with fried capers was delicious. Definitely will be back. read more

The hotel is large and has a nice ambience. The rooms aren't gigantic but very sound-proofed, so that's a huge plus. The breakfast vouchers are another plus, and the servers there are kind. My eggs were definitely over-oiled but otherwise good. The valet isn't the best at communication, so if they're retrieving your car, make sure you're paying attention and looking out for its arrival. read more

Didn't actually stay here, but we went inside to the restaurant and it was beautiful! We went up to floor 9 and had drinks at IL CERVO! I got a Paloma and it was sooo delicious! They have a huge nice bar and seating everywhere! We went out on the patio part and it was beautiful up there! They have heaters and fires going for a cooler night which was so nice! It was extremely busy so the staff was running around but they handled it so well! They were very friendly! There was a lot of yummy looking dishes that came out from the kitchen and hoping to try the food sometime! Highly recommend IL CERVO for a classier and more pricey girls or date night! read more

I have stayed at the Trade Hotel on more than one occasion and it has quickly become my go-to stay for when I am in the Milwaukee area. The rooms have an upscale feel and are always very clean. I can't speak highly enough on the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They are very accommodating and helpful. Upon arrival they provide you with free drink tokens at the bar and they accommodated to my late checkout request with no charge. The hotel itself is located directly across from the Fiserv Forum and several amazing restaurants. There is valet parking on site but also street parking nearby which is much cheaper. My exceptional stay here inspired me to stay at another Autograph collection hotel (Chicago) and I was thoroughly pleased with that location as well. I will now exclusively stay at this chain of hotels! P.S The blackout curtains in the room work so well you would never guess that my photos were taken at 1pm during the day ;) read more

I actually really enjoyed my experience at Craft. I went on my birthday but at about 4:30 PM so it wasn't busy. My husband and I shared the stuffed pretzel, the fish fry and the beer cheese soup. All were actually really good. The fish fry is one of the better, more crispy, battered fish that I've had in town. I can't say no to a good pretzel and it reheated well the next night! Service at the bar was good but the selection of beers is a bit lackluster. I'd definitely come back! read more
