    Thai Peanut Cauliflower & Pinot noir (we were twins!)
    Bridgette K.

    This is a go-to spot for me, I've never had a bad dish. They used to carry Dante Merlot wine, which I liked; but whatever Theresa recommended was a good alternative. She is the sweetest waitress ever, and takes great care of us every time. I like that they have outdoor seating when it's nice out and I've had groups of up to 10 here without issue. Everything is vegetarian so this is not for a strictly meat & potatoes guy- but if people are a little adventurous, all of the food is delicious.

    SPINACH ARTICHOKE GRILLED CHEESE with garlic brussels sprouts
    Barry M.

    Cafe Manna is our go to vegetarian restaurant and is quickly becoming one of the only vegetarian restaurants in the area. They always have a great variety of dishes including some monthly specials and an everyday menu with some of my favs. I tried the Spinach Artichoke grilled cheese this time and it was awesome. Lots of flavor with fresh ingredients and a nice addition of roasted asparagus. Love the combination of provolone, mozzarella, parmesan and cream cheese. And grilled perfectly on Rocket Baby Bakery bread. It was still nice out so we were able to sit outside on the patio which I never realized they had. Bonus. I also like the fact that they have a nice selection of craft beers and wine. We finished our meal with the GINGER PLUM CAKE and OMG it was to die for.

    Omg this place is amazing! I wanted everything on the menu, so I did what I always do and just got something off the "seasonal specials" - the Orecchiette Pasta was pan roasted zucchini, sweet corn, cipollini onions and fresh arugula are combined with orecchiette pasta and tossed in a parmesan truffle cream sauce, finished with tomato confit and micro greens. It was so good. It was way too much food, but I was able to take it to go, and it made for wonderful leftovers when I was hungry again later. I also ended up getting lemonade and tea, because all the options were too good to pass up on. Our server was phenomenal and even took a photo of the three of us because it was a little reunion of ladies I haven't seen in a long time. I absolutely would love to come back and try everything on their menu, including that dessert menu.

    Homemade Hummus Platter -- delicious and filling!
    Tara N.

    The restaurant is very clean, it wasn't too loud, the service was great, and the food was fantastic! Simple seasoning of food is often overlooked and instead chefs focus on the latest trends. Cafe Manna offers delicious food without being pretentious. I had lunch here and I will certainly return!

    Crab Cakes, Guacamole Potato Skins, and extra sauces
    Tigra C.

    I was only in town for a couple of week and was excited to find this vegan gem. Crab Cakes - served with a garlic aoili were very good. I got extra aioli because I'm saucy and I always do. Would order again. Potato Skins - these are basically little guacamole boats and I loved them! I never ate cheese and haven't had pork since I was a wee thing, so I've never had a "classic" potato skin, so their version was perfect for me. Served with a sriracha aioli for added flavor. I do feel like it's missing something, but I don't know what it is. (It also comes with a pico de gallo, which I omitted) Cherry Rhubarb Crisp - served warm with a vegan gelato. The fruit was so fresh, as if had just been picked before it reached my bowl. That vanilla bean gelato was so creamy and sweet; it was exemplary. Fresh food. Exciting flavors and creative plates. Service was great, especially with just one server working her tushy off. There is a lovely outdoor patio, which was perfect during the late summer weather. I would 100% recommend and will return when in the area again.

    Chocolate Truffles
    Latiful A.

    Came by for lunch. Service was great, ambiance pleasant and the food was STELLAR. Having had experienced Michelin rated establishments, I can honestly say that this place is deserving. Menu options are creative and every item we ordered made an impression. Can't wait for our next visit.

Croque…read moremadame had fresh ham, tomato bechamel and ground mustard and a perfectly fried egg on sourdough. I enjoyed the sandwich though my tastes were ready for a lightly browned cheese instead of a lava like cheese sauce though the flavor was terrific. The beef sliders were well seasoned and flavorful. 3 sliders ( not overly inventive )were a perfect savory meal. Do not miss the creamed corn! The bacon added texture and a nice hint of salt. The goat cheese flat bread was maybe the best offering for the evening..the goat cheese was melted wonderfully and the balsamic vinegar infused complexity all contained on the flat bread. The brownie with ice cream was a nice sweet ending to a great farm to table experience. Eli, our server knew the perfect inflection points to check in without becoming a helicopter server!

I had Farmer Johnny's Pasta, which was described as "Rosemary lemon butter sauce, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, cheese blend." I would say the taste was good, but I think it would have been better with a few more vegetables among the pasta. Two had the pot pie, which really did look good, and is what I will try next time. Another had roasted red bell pepper, which I have also had in the past. It looked as good as ever. I like the fact that a lot of produce is local. The restaurant was comfortable. The service was accommodating. We all enjoyed our food!

    Fucking love this place…read more If there is a highly rated small plates place in a location we are visiting, you can count on us to find it. We walked literally thirty minutes to this place from our hotel. It was a lovely walk in early August. We had a 5:45pm reservation on a Thursday (we are old now) and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent. Ok so they have a fantastic cocktail menu. I appreciate any cocktail menu that is more complex than vodka and cranberry juice but this takes it to another level of creativity. I also like how they name them with numbers. It's so much easier to say "I'll have a 42" rather than "I will have a duperbeamerscicle". I started with an "88" with pisco, rose-poached strawberry, amontillado sherry, verjus, rose port, and pink peppercorn. Served in a highball glass and garnished with berries. Very refreshing. GF started with the "91" mezcal, passion fruit, poblano, pineapple, amaro, lime. Gorgeous and chic. Very strong, smoky flavor. When in Rome, so the cheese plate did not feel like an option. Four fantastic cheeses were served with very tasty candied nuts, some jam business, grapes, and some of the best bread I have had on a cheese plate. Thick, soft, and fluffy. Paired absolutely perfectly with cheese. Only complaint is that I wish there was more of it. I haven't had deviled eggs in a minute so I went wild and also had the chili crisp deviled eggs which were SPECTACULAR. I also got the Egyptian fried cauliflower which is served on a smear of harissa and lemon tahini. Very flavorful. Star of the show tbh was the tagliatelle with squash, tomato, these fried cheese crisps. The noodles were al dente and SO GOOD in such a wonderful sauce. GF also got the steak, she says "very good seasoning". I helped her out with the kimchi pancake. Wonderful. Such a great sauce. For our second round of dranks we both went with the "77" makrut lime vodka, tamarind, bird's eye chili, cilantro, lime, lemongrass. Very tamarind forward. Very unique. I can see why it's our server's favorite drink on the menu. The desserts looked really good (something with sticky rice I think it was a cocktail and a bread budding that looked fantastic) but we just weren't feeling it.

The deviled eggs were easily our favorite and are an absolute must-order. We also loved the flatbread with fiddleheads, which featured a delicious curry-inspired flavor that reminded us of an Indian dish. My husband couldn't stop talking about the bread pudding and said it was one of the best desserts he's had. Everything we tried was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. If we lived in Milwaukee, Odd Duck would absolutely become one of our regular spots. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in town.

First glance at the menu, I admit I was a little unsure. Lots of unique offerings, with the Grain Bowls, Plates, Greens & Grains being made with black rice or quinoa. The latter of which I am not a fan. Still, on my first visit, I decided to try the Thai Bowl. I ended up really enjoying the black rice. The roasted veggies were tender, and the thai basil pesto had a bit of spice to it, which paired wonderfully with the subtle sweetness of the curry. The portion size was perfect, satisfying me but not leaving me full. I also tried the Ginger Tepache, which was extremely refreshing and delicious. A wonderful alternative to Kombucha if that's not exactly your thing. The restaurant is bright and airy with bar, high top and table seating. I had to wait a couple minutes before someone took my order, but once that was taken my food was ready very quickly.

Waffle-style, hot, crispy as can be, and seasoned so perfectly that you don't even need ketchup. They give you some just in case, though. The Big Lebowski is my wife's favorite. She usually gets it and always loves it. The Up in Smoke was an architectural marvel of delicious engineering. Beyond burger, cheese, pickle, onions, and lettuce, topped with the nicest barbecue sauce you'll ever meet, perfectly smoky bacon, and the crispiest onion rings you'll ever run into.

We would have liked to try a couple of the appetizers, but then we would have risked filling up and not having enough room for the entrées. We decided on the Great Greek Gyro and the Combo Souvlaki Plate with lamb and tenderloin. We also ordered the Feta Fries. After a short wait, the food was delivered to our table. Everything was well presented, and the hot items were served at a good temperature. The Feta Fries were well seasoned, crispy, and topped with a generous amount of cheese. I think there may have been mozzarella along with the feta. Super yummy. The salad that came with the Souvlaki Plate was fresh and had a plentiful assortment of vegetables. The meats were well seasoned and served in nice-sized portions. The tenderloin was medium rare, just as I requested, although some of the lamb pieces were slightly overcooked, but still tasty. The gyro my wife ordered was a very large portion, with tender and flavorful meat. The additional vegetables and tzatziki sauce were both generously portioned as well. There were plenty of leftovers to take home. Service: There were several people helping behind the counter: a couple of young ladies taking orders and running food, along with another person, possibly the manager or owner, assisting with additional questions. They were super helpful with my Souvlaki Plate order and suggested trying the combo option. They also offered us a complimentary sample of one of their new refreshers. The cucumber mint flavor was delicious. Atmosphere: It's located in a small strip mall, but the interior is nicely laid out. There are lots of large windows bringing in natural light. The smaller tables can easily be pushed together for larger groups, and there are also umbrella tables outside in front. The noise level was comfortable and allowed for easy conversation. A good spot if you are looking for tasty Greek food.
