    I had to start work an hour earlier than usual, which meant trying to find a breakfast place open at or by 6am to make it to work on time. Although I have quite a few breakfast places bookmarked, not too many fit the bill of being open that early. Luckily, Cafe Agora isn't far from where I live and is one of only a couple that worked timing wise. Minutes after they opened I ordered the Agora Breakfast Wrap (bacon, egg, cheese, and spinach) without the onion and tomato and got fresh fruit for my side. The fruit was fine. Good size container and all of it was chilled. The pineapple and grapes were the best part. Either the cantaloupe and honeydew aren't in season or somebody didn't pick the most flavorful ones, but they still had some flavor. Not a bad option if you're looking for a healthier side compared to hash browns. When I open the container with the burrito I was surprised to see a tomato tortilla. The menu doesn't list that and usually places will highlight it if they have special flavor tortillas. Unexpected, but not unwelcome. The burrito was a tale of two halves. The first half didn't have much bacon and the bits I did find were more fatty than meaty. The second half, however, had much more bacon in it and they were meaty chunks. Not sure why there was such a discrepancy, but I'm glad the second half was able to redeem the first half. If I could give ratings with a half star, the food by itself would be a 3.5. The fact that they're open at 6am pushes the overall rating to a 4. In a post pandemic world where restaurants have cut back hours and are struggling to find staff for when they are open, I appreciate the ones that still manage to be open for the early birds.

    This was our second time at Cafe Agora for brunch; the food is consistently good (nothing fancy but still tasty) & the servers are kind. It was pretty busy today but our wait was still only around 10 minutes. Our server was attentive & the coffee was always refilled. I had the Forza Mozza Benedict: Brioche roll, tomato, spinach, fresh mozzarella, hollandaise sauce. I thought the brioche roll was an interesting choice but it was fluffy & added a nice sweetness. The hollandaise was good, well balanced, & there was a healthy portion. Overall, I would recommend this place for a casual brunch with folks who are into your classic staple foods; Cafe Agora does them well!

    Chilaquiles with chorizo added...so fresh and packed with flavor!!!

    What a gem this place is for Menomonee Falls!!! We are in the area from Ohio for work and noticed the parking lot always has so many cars in it so we decided to give it a try on a Sunday at noon...10 minute wait and it was worth it! The manager/owner sat down and talked with us as he sat us. The food is local sourced and delicious!! Look how rich the egg yolks are being from a local farm. The coffee is Colectivo coffee which is made just for this restaurant. Service was great, the waitress was helpful with the menu. We will be frequenting this cafe!!

    Nutella Banana French Toast

    We found Agora by accident and it was a great accident. We walked in on a Saturday morning Define the restaurant pleasantly busy but by no means overcrowded or loud. Customer service was immediate and friendly, the restaurant was absolutely clean. The menu was replete with too many great choices. Our group of four settled on the Iron Man omelette, 2+2+2, a cheese omelette with pancakes, and the Nutella banana French toast. We noticed how busy the staff was throughout the restaurant, and peculiarly we noticed that our server was the only one for our half of the restaurant. She was running from table to table swiftly yet attentive and friendly to all. She had no busser or other helper. We were impressed, felt bad for her and were surprised at the restaurant didn't have someone else in that dining room. At one point, the owner of the restaurant came over just to greet us and she was absolutely charming and lovely, graceful and caring. She instantly won us over. Our meals arrived and we knew we would leave pull and happy. Everything looked fantastic, although the only really colorful and exciting looking plate was the Nutella banana French toast which came with fresh cut strawberries, pecans and fresh whipped cream. We also noticed that the syrup served was quite warm and a high-quality service, and that was a treat. The boost of it all, of course, was that each meal tasted fresh and carefully made, and quite good. The restaurant makes efforts to use organic products and we were appreciative of that. Prices for the large meals were reasonable, although not on the low end.

    Great place to get quality breakfast made from scratch with quality ingredients. Collectivo coffee to boot! Portions are just right and staff is friendly and helpful.

    Great food and service. I love that I can order half a panini sandwich which is still a big sandwich. They also have a fantastic bakery.

    Came here for dinner and unfortunately left pretty underwhelmed overall…read more The restaurant itself was clean, and service initially started off fine. When we first arrived, the restaurant was not busy. Only a couple other tables occupied, so expectations were fairly high for a smooth experience. Unfortunately, things quickly went downhill. The food took quite a while to come out despite how slow it was. When it finally did, it was first delivered to the wrong table before eventually making its way to us. The food runner then randomly grabbed a ranch from our table and brought it to another table. He seemed potentially new, but overall the service felt very disorganized and clueless, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. We ordered the cheese curds to start, and they were disappointing. The breading was mushy and extremely greasy, and the cheese itself tasted low quality rather than the fresh curds you'd expect at a Wisconsin pub. We also ordered several wing flavors since they were on special: garlic parm, buffalo, bourbon BBQ, and lemon pepper. One issue right away was the lack of flavor variety overall on the menu. The wings themselves were inconsistent. Sizes varied dramatically, which clearly affected the cook quality. Some were fried so hard they were like chewing leather, while others had soggy, undercooked skin. Flavor wise the buffalo were almost completely flavorless. The lemon pepper was extremely mild. The garlic parm was probably the best of the group, though still just average. The bourbon BBQ was rough. The sauce tasted like an overly sweet, overly salty cheap jarred glaze rather than an actual house-made BBQ sauce. My wife ordered the Mary Mac burger without a bun and was told extra lettuce leaves could be substituted to make it a lettuce wrap. Instead, it came out with just shredded lettuce. The burger itself was overcooked and lacking flavor. The fries were decent enough, but nothing memorable. Overall, this felt like a place with potential that just missed the mark on both execution and consistency during our visit.

    Hubby is always up for a good burger, so we stopped here on our way out of town on a Wednesday…read morenight. Signage outside indicated that they have fish fry on Wednesday night so that was a plus for me. He had a water street melt with chips and fried cheese sticks. He asked for his burger to be cooked medium. The menu indicated his burger had onion spread on it. His burger was not cooked medium but well done. The onion spread was a "sauce overload" and not a pleasant addition to the melt. The cheese sticks were wrapped in a won ton wrap and deep fried. They were served with a marinara. The cheese sticks could have used some type of seasoning to give them flavor. Very bland. I had the fish fry special of fried perch. Mild fishy flavor and definitely frozen. Thin crumb breading that had some type of seasoning. I choose fries, coleslaw, and rye toast. The fries and toast were the best parts. I wanted tartar sauce for my fish but it was so sweet that it wasn't good with the fish. Service was fine. She needed to leave before us and asked if we wanted to close our ticket. We didn't plan on staying as we're traveling so we closed it out. Location was easy to find. Bar area was clean.

    Outstanding service by Apexa and absolutely incredible food! We came in with a large group of 15…read morepeople, and IVR handled it flawlessly. Our food came out super fast, everything was hot, fresh, and beautifully prepared, and the staff was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The food was next level. The beef birria pizza was unreal rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The honey garlic cauliflower was a surprise favorite, crispy with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. We finished with tiramisu, which was light, creamy, and the perfect ending to the meal. Paired it all with a sangria and it was perfection. Honestly, some of the best food I've had, period. IVR is a gem! Amazing flavors, great atmosphere, and top-tier service. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

    I've visited IVR Bar several times and realized I never submitted the review I wrote. I'm happy…read morethough because after several visits I have more qualities to cover. Warning this will be a long review as a result. My review does have a few recommendations based upon my experience and one negative in #5. 1. Food The food here has consistently been very good. One of our favorites is their butter chicken pizza served on naan bread. It comes with extra butter sauce for dipping, and the flavor and consistency is so good. The pizza is full of chicken and a nice amount of cheese. The only thing I'd recommend is serving the side of butter sauce hotter. It's always much cooler than the pizza, which I've experienced more than once. Their naan bread is always soft and fresh. We've tried both the garlic naan and cheesy naan and both are so good. Buffalo wings and birria tacos served on naan were all delicious. The meat was seasoned and the rice was very good as well. The honey garlic cauliflower appetizer is tasty but the portion is quite small for $14. You'll see the serving spoon in the photo for scale it shows how small the serving is. I think lowering the price could encourage more people to order it. For $14 you might as well get some wings or a 1 topping pizza! 2. Drinks They make excellent drinks. I've had multiple martinis here and have never been disappointed. My husband ordered a Hennessy sidecar that was also very good. I went for their Thursday ladies happy hour where martinis are $5. The only drawback is that only a few specific flavors are included: blueberry, apple, cosmopolitan, and dirty martinis. I had a pineapple lemon drop martini there and hoped to get it again for the happy hour price, but it wasn't included. I think it would help if they advertised which martinis are included in the happy hour promotion so customers know what to expect. 3. Service Service has always been good during my visits. I've never had a bad experience with the staff. The dark skinned host has seated my family several times and is always friendly and welcoming. We're always seated immediately because they're never busy when we go. 4. Atmosphere & Entertainment There's usually about 2-3 other parties in the dinning room and a few patrons at the bar when I've visited. The lighting is dim and the vibe is relaxed. They have plenty televisions throughout the dining room and bar. The dining room has a 4 way TV in the center. If you're into sports they don't miss. They also have a few slot machines near the bar. 5. Cleanliness Overall cleanliness has been acceptable, but there are a few things that could be improved. I have noticed gnats on multiple visits. It's not a swarm but they are noticeable. More so this time with multiple sweet martinis at our table. With them using fresh fruit and syrups for cocktails, I imagine that isn't helping. The bathrooms appear to have been updated and look nice. There wasn't any odor, but the trash can could have been emptied or pushed down. 6. Menu & Communication One area where they could improve is marketing. Their website and social media advertise events or specials without explaining the details. For example, the flyer in my photos show tacos and tequilas night. With flight of tequila samples and tacos for $65/person. How many tacos and tequila samples does one get? How much tequila per sample? What would I be paying for? More social media presence, photos of their food in the happy hour posts and more details of specials would bring in more customers. I'm a Yelp and social media lady! I do a little research before deciding on new spots. I'm not scrolling through 20 posts a restaurant shares to get to food videos or images. I expect the to grab my attention immediately. It's so close to many big offices, factories, and various businesses. They should be busy always. I've seen multiple restaurants come and go in this same building over the last 12 years. I'm hopeful they'll be more present to increase their customer base. Another improvement would be adding more vegan options. When I was avoiding meat and dairy earlier this year, I noticed they listed the Garlic honey cauliflower online as vegan but it was labeled vegetarian on the menu on the table, which could be confusing for someone strictly following a vegan diet. 7. Loyalty Program One thing they do very well is their rewards system. They track points through your credit card, and we've received $5 off simply from returning. That's a great feature that more locally owned restaurants could learn from. So you're wondering if I would go back? Yes, I plan on it. Although I'm hopeful they consider my recommendations. Would I recommend it? Yes the food is good! The service is good! I've never had to wait! If you've never tried Indian food before this is a great place to start. They serve familiar foods with Indian flavors which may be helpful with easing in.
