    Gluten free cheese curds were outstanding, fresh, and light. Service was prompt, accurate, and friendly. Atmosphere was warm and vibrant. Great place!

    Delicious food, wonderful staff, great overall experience for our first venture! Our waiter was super knowledgeable about the menu and was particularly great at assisting one of our party who had both a gluten and dairy allergy. Everything was absolutely delicious and we will definitely return next time we are up in Milwaukee!

    Service was great, food was well prepared. Chef was just a little too free with the salt. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
