Drawing upon the rich history of Milwaukee’s craftsmanship we present, Craft. The history of Milwaukee dates to the early 17th and 18th centuries when traders first began to travel through and eventually settle in what is now Milwaukee. Deep European roots brought craftsmen and skilled hands to the area and to this day an ethic of hard work and determination inhabits the spirit of the city. Early on the area was full of coopers, butchers, shoemakers, and farmers. Milwaukee’s beer history started in the 1840’s, driven by the presence of the frontier settlement near the Great Lakes. Immigrants, including Welsh and German settlers, yearned for the native beers of their homelands, so they embarked on making delicious craft beer with techniques from their native countries. Craft features a cuisine including locally sourced foods, hand crafted cocktails, and a vast selection of local beer.

Everything about Harboe House was perfect! The location, the food, the service. All meals were exceptional, and we were made to feel as if we were the only customer there. We had one small issue with an order, but they immediately took care of it, the manager came over to deliver, and we couldn’t be happier

It was a perfect evening. We were celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary with my husband’s mother. The waitress was very good. The drinks, food and desserts were superb. The entire staff was so pleasant and friendly. We drive from Cleveland, Ohio to spend our anniversary together as a family at the Capital Grille every year.

This is a favorite place for us and a Sunday evening made it quieter than at other times. The service was excellent. This particular menu was not my favorite, but I appreciate the opportunity to taste the food of different regions. Torta Russia was especially delicious.

I could have asked for more during our 9yr anniversary celebration. The atmosphere was somewhat dark and romantic. Our server Anastasia was cheerful, knowledgeable and clearly experienced. My wife and I chose the butter chicken and salmon curry among other things. Delicious! Oh and the Dal Makhani was yummy. Will be coming back for more.
