Just not worth it. Inventive drinks were spoiled by an understaffed bar that focused on the bar patrons and their appetizers rather than the dinner patrons, resulting in 20 minutes from order to delivery. Service was spotty. We quite literally had to make eye contact with our server to get them to even take our drink order/dinner order/desert order. And when my entree arrived, I got to sample the stingiest $50 plate of scallops I believe I've ever been served--three minuscule (as in 'quarter-sized') bi-valves on a plate of, just slightly above room temperature, polenta. We won't be back. read more

Such a great restaurant! My friends and I stopped over for happy hour, but didn't realize that the happy hour only applies if you sit at the bar. Our mistake! That being said, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked the food. We tried the extra dirty olive oil (which came with naan bread), and the calamari. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! I will continue coming back for both of those appetizers alone. The olive oil was so tasty I could drink it, and the calamari melts in your mouth. For a main dish I tried their spinach cavatelli pasta, which was just okay in my opinion. Not a strong flavor- I wish it tasted a little more like lemon or garlic? Overall, I will definitely be returning! read more

I went here with my dad for the first time and I was very impressed. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive - she shared great recommendations for wine pairings and food choices. Low lighting restaurant which was a nice vibe too! I will definitely be going back. read more

The decor is on point, and hip and great vibe! The service at the bar from Kelly was fast friends and patient. The oysters were delicious. Had a couple martinis (dirty and espresso).... Both were good but not anything exceptional. Price was right for the drinks. Great place for a quick app and drink. Will try more food next time. read more

This restaurant was really trying to be the third coast by dumping the entire ocean's worth of salt into their dishes. I have never been so thirsty in my life the day after I ate here. With the number of great reviews on top of the beautiful interiors, I had such high expectations for this restaurant that I happily brought my partner and his father (who traveled from out of the country to visit) to the restaurant. Imagine my disappointment and embarrassment for bringing them here, only to be given overpriced and oversalted food. The only redeeming factors of the restaurant were the interior design (absolutely gorgeous), the potholes (delicious but still salty), and our waitress who served us in the mezzanine on 10/8 (I forgot her name, sorry!). When we first got our appetizer--the mushrooms, we were literally eating a spoonful of salt at a time. I RARELY send back food, but I had to send the mushrooms back before the dish induces any hypertensive emergency among us. After we got the new mushrooms dish after telling our waitress we wanted just 1/4-1/3 of the salt, the dish still came back extremely salty and the waitress said the cook apologized for "ACCIDENTALLY DOUBLE-SALTING THE DISH." I'm sorry, but WHAT. All of our subsequent dishes then tasted all just like salt without a hint of other seasoning. I wasn't sure if it's because our tastebuds were so skewed after eating so much salt that our remaining dishes just didn't taste that great. It was just salty. Anyways we walked out with a $260 bill for three people which was outrageous for this quality of food in Milwaukee of all places. I'm not sure how people are raging about this restaurant. I have sworn to never return and have told others to avoid going to this restaurant altogether. Opt for somewhere else for better quality food that's actually worth the cost. read more

Dined here last Saturday evening for the first time. The restaurant overall is beautiful and the staff was welcoming and attentive. The food overall was fair to good. The pothole was just fine, a bit more salty than it should be without much for seafood. The scallop risotto had great flavor but was not super warm. In fact the pothole itself wasn't particularly warm. Unfortunately, for seafood I would go back to the harbor house over third coast provisions. read more

Exquisite dessert, must try! I happen to have a hankering for dessert after a night out in Downtown Milwaukee and walked into 3c provisions go satiate that craving and wasn't disappointed at all. The mousse pound cake was very rich and creamy without being heavy and with artificial flavors. The presentation and aesthetis were impeccable and the taste complimented the visuals. They are right when they say we eat with our eyes and if so, drink up with the food at this place! read more

Stopped here while in MKE for a night as one of our last dinners on the road. Had a reservation for 8:30 and while making it over the phone - we were told to make sure to place food orders quickly so the kitchen could close up on time. Not a problem. We were within walking distance from our hotel, but it looks like the street could be busy in terms of parking if you decide to drive. We walked in and our table wasn't ready so we ordered a drink at the bar. Bartender was hyperactive in trying to make us know he was a great bartender. I went with a Crown Manhattan. Waiter was nice - a little over the top at times but I liked him and he was friendly and attentive. Our table was ready and we opted for the crab croquettes and bread with spread. Both were incredibly good - and I would recommend both to just about anyone. Flavors were there - perfectly done, attention to detail, wow. So good. For an entree I ordered the surf n turf filet - which aesthetically looked rough - and I'm still not sure the Oscar part was done properly as the crab meat looked more like imitation. But man was this good - steak was more on the rarer side of medium than I ordered - but the bernaise was perfectly seasoned. Also the potatoes were incredible and flavorful, and the vegetable had a salty lemon taste to it that had me wanting more. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse - which the name escapes me writing this - but it was good and just the right portion to finish the meal. read more

To preface the service and ambiance was fantastic, this is strictly about the food. We went for happy hour and sat at the bar, ordering the various bites - Oysters, halibut bites, french fries and a steak tartare. The French fries and ramp aioli were very good Here's where the meal went wrong... Oysters were mid and the sauce paired with it was like putting a green juice on oysters which combined made a foul pairing. Habit bites were four small pieces that resembled fish sticks from Costco and had the fishiest after taste which Halibut is not suppose to have. And finally the steak tartare, or should I say the vinegar tartare. This was the most sour meal I have ever had. The consistency was almost liquid and the only consistent flavor profile that was mentioned on the menu was the English muffin. I have been in the restaurant industry myself for over 12 years and I can confidently name on one hand the times I've sent food back. Based on other reviews I have read I was so incredibly excited for this experience, after the great drinks fantastic service, the food is ultimately what ended our night early. read more

So happy we finally got to stop in! Third Coast Provisions has been on my list for a few years and I'm so annoyed at myself for not stopping in sooner. The food in the tasting menu we had was so delicious and the wine pairings were perfection. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. It's a gorgeous space and I can't wait to come back since it's a definite repeater. Also be sure to stop by the Loon Room for a true WI speakeasy! read more

I have to give them about a 3.5/5 in terms of overall experience. Reservations are easy to make ahead of time. Unsure if this is typical (pre pandemic times) but they personally contacted me ahead of time to confirm time, party, allergies and any special occasion. We arrived about 15 minutes prior to our original time and seated promptly. We dove into the menu and ordered some small plates: steak tartare, oysters on the half shell, foie gras and lobster pothole. I think I still prefer oysters from St. Paul's fish company over here. A broader selection to choose from. I throughly enjoyed the complex and balanced flavors from the foie gras. A little sweet from the berries and savory from the bourdin. The lobster pothole was a favorite amongst the table. The sourdough had a nice crunch to the outside. I think there was a bit of lapse in service and mainly communication because we had been served all small plates before I asked the server if we could order a main entree. This lead to us sitting for longer than I typically would for dinner. As far as dishes, we had the lobster pot pie, whitefish and miso scallops. These entrees were a lot larger of a portion than I expected so if you plan on doing small plates ahead of time, maybe consider sharing. The lobster pot pie was highly recommended. I opted out of the mushrooms (personal preference) but the top is light and flakey, similar to a croissant. I'd say the lobster was a bit over cooked and chewy but you do get a decent amount. Someone ordered the miso scallops. The scallops were pretty salty here and an utter disappointment with the salty risotto. The crust on the whitefish was phenomenal. Paired with the mustard sauce (if you like tangy) was a good option. The three of us shared the creme brûlée with the pistachio on the side due to an allergy. The berries and pistachio (I poured this on after the person had their fair share of the dessert) paired well to off balance the sweetness of the creme. The bits of brown sugar were too chewy and off putting to everyone in the group. read more

We recently visited Third Coast Provisions to try out their happy hour. If you are dining in for happy hour you are seated at the bar, which is comfortable and spacious enough. I thought the selection of food was very good and the drink selection was decent, although they did not offer any cocktails besides an espresso martini. We had ordered a few more dishes that were not pictured, everything we ate was fresh and of good quality! read more

I was a little apprehensive to go because of a few low reviews but thankfully they were all wrong! I loved it here, and simply put it was the best meal I have ever had in Milwaukee. We traveled along the appetizer section and coursed it out, so I can't speak for the main courses but I was in LOVE with nearly every course. Oysters two ways with either a grapefruit or a chile granita were the perfect start. Enticing. I wanted more! Second up, a little sturgeon caviar for $35? Beam me up Scottie! Next was a lovely salmon crudo with a lickable sauce poured tableside. Then a lovely seared lobe of foie gras whose accompaniments and fresh naan were stellar. Beef tartare was the only course that didn't wow me as it tasted aged in some way and had a more Eastern Europe taste to it versus French, but the cheese crisps were delicious. It would have been nice to see an egg yolk on top. I finished the meal off by pairing their yuzu dessert with a glass of Sauternes, which was spectacular! I love a balanced dessert with some savory notes so this was culinary school perfection. Hubby loved his chocolate cherry tart and ate it in .2 seconds. I barely saw it! If you're on the fence, don't worry, GO! Food is incredible and the environment is really pretty too. Only thing was our server (who was also the host) seemed inexperienced. But it's totally okay. He did good for what I'm assuming is them being short staffed and asking him to hop on tables. Check out my pics, food is perfectly presented & tasted as good as it looked! read more

So I've been here a few times now the past year. Everything is still fabulous, service is exceptional

I ate here twice with a colleague while at a legal conference and I can't hype this place enough. From the service to the drinks and food, this place is incredible. Natalie was our server the first night, and Brooke was our server the second and they were both super nice and very attentive to our table. The Alaskan halibut was not available the first time (this happens with fresh fish) and Natalie recommended the Spinach + Artichoke ravioli and wow, what an amazing dish! The halibut was available the second time and was even more fantastic than I thought it would be. We had the royal renewal for drinks both times, as well as the oyster sliders and 3cp greens for starters. The first night we also had the ahi tuna tartare on crispy rice and while it was delicious, 3 apps was 1 too many. My colleague had the Miso Sea Scallops the first time and Ora King Salmon the second and I tried both and if I am ever back in Milwaukee I will order one of those next time if the menu hasn't rotated. For dessert we had the chocolate trifle; delicious and not too much to eat considering I was already full both times. The space itself is beautiful and not too noisy. The first time we were on the main floor and the second time we were on the second floor and I think I liked the first floor slightly better but only because I'm obsessed with light fixtures and the first floor light fixtures are cooler. You will absolutely not be disappointed eating here. read more

Natalie was our waitress if you go there please ask for her table area, she's not only friendly and pleasant but the right amount of attentive to the table. It's nice to be at a restaurant and your waitress seems to genuinely enjoy her job and even if she did have a bad day you wouldn't know it. The food was amazing! our friend lives here part time. My boyfriend had his Son here while living in Milwaukee before moving away. We were in town visiting for a Brewers game and I found this place for us. I was glad that I found this place for us to dine at and our friend who is local had not visited this place yet but said he would definitely come back. We started with the staccriatella peaches so delish! with the naan bread, for the mains we had the lobster pot pie, you can share this among two people, the rigatoni was delish, also the hash brown Royale with braised beef was really good. The old fashioned was a hit with the men. I had the necking in Napoli loved it, recommendation from our waitress not too sweet not too bitter, I don't usually have more than a drink I had two. They gained a new local client and repeat clients with us when we are town again thanks to Natalie read more

Run- don't walk to this place. We had an excellent experience here. Started with "potholes" a very garlicky and buttery appetizer with crispy bread. Wonderful stuff and added bonus- no vampire issues . For entrees we chose the hash brown short ribs and cioppini stew. One was just as amazing as the other. Dessert was lemon creme brûlée with blueberry ice cream and short bread cookies. Kellly was the only server and she gave each table her full attention and never seemed rushed. We were incredibly impressed with her professionalism and friendliness. Wish I could give 10 stars!! read more

Good meal. Crispy rice and tuna very good. Duck carnitas- kind of spicy and a little dry (it's confit where is the juicy fat ?) Crab pothole- crab dip lots of yummy crab flavor, a little salty but enjoyable. Desserts not as good. Key lime trifle was bland not enough lime curd. And carrot cake had ok spice, no desimcernable carrot shreads, no pineapple, no black walnuts. But ok. The biale black chicken zin was excellent and the spritz business cocktail also great. Will go back read more

How did I not know about this restaurant! (I'll blame Covid). Nice and somewhat unique menu. Highlights: 1) Fresh baked Gluten Free Bread ... that taste good !!! It may not seem like much to most, but for all Celiacs, pay the price of the meal, just to get the bread! I'm told the pastry chef (Joanna??) comes in at 6:00am to prep. 2) Lobster Pot-Holes; think: escargo, but with Lobster ... wow... I can make this at home, or with shrimp. Never thought of that. Other thoughts: 2 diners had the Short Rib. Both reports are great, with perfect prep and flavor. Menu prices are on the higher side, but just at my thesehold of pain. Drinks could be larger, or I really need to take smaller sips to extend to more than two, and cosmo & sidecar were "okay" but nothing the mixologist couldn't improve upon. Can't wait to try it again. read more

My first oyster, guys!!!! I was hesitant about it too.....very hesitant. Then I saw the El Tirador on the menu: an oyster shooter with a jalapeno shot, or something like that. Anyway, my thought process was that if the oyster was gross, the spiciness of the shot would wash away any fishy flavor. Well. Let me tell you. After explaining to me how it was NOT improper to scrape the oyster out of the shell with one's teeth (it wasn't the slimy snot ball I had always been led to believe!), I did just that; chewed that little sucker up and downed that shot faster than a cheetah chasing a zebra. That's the trick! Follow a raw oyster with something spicy. The two flavors mingle together so beautifully, that you'll forget all about that glob you just had in your mouth! If they weren't $8 a pop, I would have been drunk within 15 minutes. Instead, I opted for a cocktail, hubs got a beer, and we both shared a tray of oysters, a lobster roll, and a po' boy. The lobster roll and po' boy were divine, but I wouldn't specifically seek out oysters to eat, like I would tacos. I'm glad I tried them, and I'm glad I had such a positive experience with this "mysterious" food I've been hearing about for ever! 10/2021 read more

First of all, if Sarah is working at the bar, sit with her! She makes amazing recommendations and is a blast to talk to. The oyster special (a dozen with a bottle of wine for $45) was well worth it. Add on scallop ceviche, tuna tartare, Parker house rolls and their lobster potholes? *chef's kiss* We ended the night with the peanut and chocolate dessert. I highly recommend! read more

Absolutely outstanding meal and unparalleled service, we ordered about half the menu. The kitchen was even gracious enough to whip up a side of corn for my 7-month old little guy and toss it in the blender so he had something to work on while we enjoyed our dinner.

I came here for valentines dinner and was blown away. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. I got the spinach artichoke ravioli and my boyfriend got the surf and turf and both were amazing. I also suggest working with the sommelier. We talked to him about our likes and dislikes, orders, and price range and he picked out a great bottle that we definitely wouldn't have chosen on our own. Highly recommend!

Staff and patrons were wearing mask. You can take your mask off when you are at your table. The food was delicious. We started with raw oysters and chargrilled oysters.

We had a great time at Third Coast. The food was excellent, not a single bad bite all evening. The drinks were also excellent, the bartender even made an off menu cocktail for my sister that she had last time she was here. The service was polite and prompt but not overly attentive. We got there early so it wasn't very busy yet but got louder and busier as the night went on. The only knock I have is that our server told us to place our whole order at once so that they could course it out for us. However all of our dishes came out pretty rapidly which had me feeling a bit rushed to eat so that there would be room at the table. read more

Wow, Third Coast. First, I want to apologize for taking so long to write a review for you given how amazing my food and experience was at your restaurant. This is certainly one of the top restaurants in Milwaukee - I can't believe I have lived here so many years and only have had dinner here ONCE (although I used to go to Oak & Oyster all the time for their HH). Jeesh, I have been missing out. We started with the crab cakes. They stayed together well but were not super fried/crispy. There was a ton of crab in them - YUM. We also got the tuna with crispy rice, lobster mac and cheese (amazing) and the star of the show (in my opinion), the lobster potholes. I had never heard of "lobster potholes" before, but as an East Coaster who loves warm lobster, this sounded like the perfect dish for me, and oh my goodness it was! There were large chunks of lobster tail in the dish, and the buttery/herby/garlicky sauce it came in was to die for. Honestly, I would come back to this restaurant and just get that all to myself (despite the massive amount of calories in the dish). The restaurant ambiance is amazing. We sat at a table, but I think I would sit at the bar the next time. Service was good too - Attentive but not overwhelming. If you have not been here, I highly recommend it! I also cant wait for them to open their Flour Child Pizza shop :) read more

We went here for dinner and were so disappointed with the food. For appetizers, we got bread with stracciatella + peaches with dills. The bread was good but the dip (stracciatella +peaches with dills) was so flavorless. The dip needed some salts. Funny that the dip was lack of salt but all of the sauces from our entrees were too salty. For entrees, my boyfriend got the hanger steak with fries and I got the salmon. The meat and fish were very high quality. When you have high quality meats or fish, you don't need to do too much. They did too much with everything. For example, my salmon was overwhelmed with the sauce. I don't think the sauce went well at all with fish at all. It was spicy and too creamy. For a good salmon that they had, I would go with some light sauce to let the salmon shine. My boyfriend's hanger steaks' sauce were too salty. The fries that went with it were crispy but salty as well. The only good thing that they did with those dishes was they cooked the steak and salmon perfectly. I also got oysters as well. They were fresh but small. We got the old fashioned granita for the oysters which was interesting and sweet. Overall, overpriced and bad execution with good quality meats and fish. read more

Thankfully this was my third visit because had it been my first I would never return! Very slow service and overly salted food!
