The food is what you want it to be in that it can all be made vegan, or not! Everyone is happy this way. We watched the first half of the game while enjoying our food with our infant. Another large family did the same while everyone laughed and talked and ate. Great vibe. My complaints are prices being a bit high but food costs are insane these days so it is what is on that. The other note is that when the check came for the 98% vegan lunch, the mints provided were not vegan. Little details like that can get ya but over all very happy with the experience! We will be back for sure as we felt very welcome and the food was

I can say confidently this is the best breakfast burrito I've ever had not just in Milwaukee, but…read moreprobably in the US. I came in with not the highest of expectations cause I haven't had the best experience with vegan food, but the flavor, textures and attention to detail to even the sauces was immaculate. The service here is really nice and getting vegan or meat options doesn't come with extra charge (I got vegan chorizo as my meat). At the moment it's not super busy with activity but once people in campus dabble in more, I can see this being a hit soon. The only heads up I'll give is that the kitchen staff is pretty small so the order took a while, but honestly how the food turned out was worth it. Next time my family comes up to Milwaukee I'm taking them here! Until then, this'll be my weekly burrito fix for the semester!

Everything was so incredible. We sat at the chefs counter which I think really made the experience (as a couple, or three friends) The executive chef talked to us for a bit, multiple different servers, We felt like experiencing the friendly and collaborative vibe between employees was nice to see and added to the night. We decided to have the somm pair wine glasses with the dishes we ordered and would do that again 100 times. Chris was great, upbeat, gave great bulletpoints and rationale why he picked the wine and what we should look out for. Our waitress Britt, told us that she had only been working there for 3 months and I was absolutely stunned. One of the best servers I've had in awhile long time. Not typically dessert people, it was maybe the best course. The pairing of the banana rum and the dessert wine we got was the best pairing either of us have ever experienced.

They start you with free bacon grease popcorn, it was tasty, you can for sure taste the bacon! The staff were efficient, quick, nice. I got a German beer, and a soda water, my partner did as well. My kiddo got a lemonade. For appetizers we got the pretzel sticks, and the curds with marinara and ranch. So good! Both were well seasoned and delicious. For meals, I got the chicken Caesar salad wrap, with fries. It was good, creamy, and I had crispy chicken replace the grilled. The fries were good. My partner got the Cajun Mac and cheese with chicken and the waitress suggested a side of fries, he said it was very good. My child got the pepperoni pizza, they have a 12inch pizza and it was enjoyed! Definitely recommend for dinner when you're about to go to a show or if you're in the area!

Excellent Lake Perch for Friday Fish Fry!…read more Combine excellent fare w good bartop energy and great service (Daniel) it adds up to 5-Stars. This place is not a secret as packed busy on a Friday early afternoon. The regulars were welcoming and fun. I had to have my Lake Perch fix and Swingin' Door delivered. The perch was fresh and lightly breaded. I tend to overdo it when in Wisco and had a clam chowder as a starter. The GF had the Rueben which also served as breckie snack the next day.

I surprisingly don't have many options in my "MKE - Fish Fry" collection that are near downtown, but Swinging Door Exchange was one of them. I was pressed for time, so I placed a to go order rather than dining in. I got the combo fish fry (two pieces of cod, two pieces of perch, and three fried shrimp) with potato pancakes. I was also very easily talked into the half rack rib appetizer. The ribs were good, even though I prefer sauce that's more sweet and smokey. Their sauce was on the tangy side with a tease of spice that really only became noticeable when the majority of the half rack was gone. If I were in the mood for ribs as my main meal, I'd consider getting theirs as an entree. The two potato pancakes weren't homemade; instead, they were premade hash brown patties that some other restaurants also serve with their fish frys. These were perfectly acceptable in lieu of homemade pancakes. The cod tasted great, but the breading didn't hold up very well. Either the fish itself was too wet or the two block walk back to my car allowed for condensation to wreck it or possibly both. The perch was not yellow lake perch but probably something like pike perch. Even though both kinds of fish and the shrimp were all good sized portions, $29 feels like a lot. I wouldn't say no to it, though, if I were dining in next time and avoid the extra cost of their takeout fee. Shout-out to the bartenders working that night. The bar area was absolutely packed, but both of the ones I talked to about placing my order were friendly and helpful even with being super busy.

In the heart of the market is a bar where you can get drinks, but they also have a beer garden in the back corner with a ton of seating. There's also shuffleboard, bags, an area for video games and topgolf simulators. Be forewarned - on weekends this place gets packed and it's hard to find seating. But if you're not feeling a proper sit down restaurant this is a great spot to hang out, especially when you have a group and don't know what food to get - come here and try all kinds of different foods while also enjoying some entertainment with friends.

You can't beat that ambiance! Prices are reasonable, the space is clean, and there is plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. And there are screens for watching games.

The burrata e pomodorini was so fresh and seasoned beautifully. The Doppia Calabrese pizza was hot and fresh. The crust was chewy and crisp. The hot honey drizzle on the pizza was the icing on the cake, or pizza! Delicious! The Tartufo Gelato to end the meal was fantastic. It was creamy, rich and the hazelnuts gave it the crunchy texture. The ambience was pleasing. Having seats by the pizza bar and watching the magic happen was very entertaining. We will definitely be back in May when we come back for a conference. We can't wait! I would 100% recommend San Giorgio Pizzeria to everyone. Next time I go, I want to try the pasta.
