What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.

    My wife and I had a wonderful time at Maggiano’s on Wednesday, January 1, 2025. We ate at the bar area. Lucas and his coworker (unfortunately I didn’t get her name), provided us with excellent service. The food as usual was delicious.

    Second time I’ve eaten at Onesto. Still very tasty and enjoyable experience. Love the care and quality put in the food. Good service. Enjoyable ambience. Reasonable prices for the quality. Love that even on the second visit I already had discounts by being in the Loyalty Program.
