Upon the walk up, the patio transports you somewhere else. The interior is beautifully designed (loved the local artwork on the walls). The staff was phenomenal- from the hostess to our server (shoutout to Mars)! The food was amazing! I started with the bruschetta and I haven't had any this good since a certain Bayshore restaurant went out of business in 2019. In general I'm a huge fan of Benson's restaurants, especially when branzino is on the menu and Onesto's is the best I've had from their group! Drinks...between my friend and I, we probably had every spritz on the menu, in addition to a few others! Onesto is a must try and I will be back (many times), to make up for lost time!

I had a fantastic dinner at Onesta and can easily see why it's so highly rated…read more I started with the Berry Burrata, which was fresh, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Gnocchi, and it was one of my favorite dishes of the trip. The combination of scallops, shrimp, lobster, and a rich fennel cream sauce was outstanding. I also had the opportunity to try the Agnolotti, filled with Maine lobster and house ricotta, finished with a peppercorn cream sauce and lemon oil. It was just as impressive. I sat at the bar, where the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I enjoyed a Barbera during my meal. I am not sure it was the right parring, but I care more about eating great food and enjoying great wine regardless of it matching perfectly. Great food, excellent wine, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Milwaukee.

Pigs in a blanket This wasn't much special. Don't wanna offend anyone, but it tasted just like I make at home, with mini sausage and crescent roll can from the market. Tater tot poutine Nothing special with this one either. The tater tots were just like the ones I get from Aldi. Edison butter burger But things got better with the entree. The burger was very nice. Loved the double burger, perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium. All the toppings complemented it very well, and the fries were also awesome. Flat iron steak sandwich I loved the seasoning and how light pink yummy it was. I asked for the buns to be taken out, and a little extra greens instead, and ended up eating it kinda like a salad, but it was delicious. Flourless chocolate cake We ended up taking the desserts home because we were too full. The chocolate cake was right on the spot for me - not too heavy as some of these flourless cakes can become (more like mousse, which I'm not too keen on). Lemon ricotta cheesecake Light yet packing a punch. This was so good. Overall, a very very nice experience. I have overlooked The Edison thus far - I think i've been to all the other places around the block for this place for some reason. I'm glad we tried it this time. Will definitely be back!

I don't drink so I can't speak to cocktails but they are a big draw as well. It had been awhile since I had stopped in, for some reason. I wanted some pancakes so I got the Crafthouse Stack with berries. They came with bourbon honey butter and maple syrup. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the berries. Raspberries in particular can be hit and miss. These were all perfectly sweet and ripe. I had some solid coffee also. The location is a little inconspicuous but inside there are high ceilings and modern but welcoming decor. Don't miss it.

There's a good chance I'll be back in Milwaukee next year for Summerfest, and I'm looking forward to giving this place another shot. The food looked fantastic, and, honestly, the cocktails and beers we had were already worthy of a few stars. I'm hoping my next visit lives up to how good everything looked.

We went to Char'd for a birthday dinner with a group of 8. We had a reservation however, I think…read morethey do accept walk-ins as the restaurant was quite spacious and not too busy on a Saturday night. We had to wait for more than an hour for our orders to arrive but understood that due to the huge group, service may have been slow. I ordered their vegetarian bibimbap and the taste profile was decent but nothing too special, especially for the price. This is a decent Korean restaurant to visit if you're in the area.

There was also lots of street parking nearby as well which was convenient! The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance with dim lighting. Our server was super friendly which we appreciated! As for the food, it was good, but not quite what I expected. We ordered the rajogi and the hand-cut grilled pork ssam. The menu is more modern and not as authentic. I was hoping for more traditional flavors. The kimchi wasn't as tangy or spicy as well. Overall, it's fine for a night out if you're looking for a modern twist on Korean cuisine, but it's not the best or most authentic Korean food I've had.

The atmosphere and views are BEAUTIFUL! It's also a lot bigger inside than it looks outside. The ONLY thing I wasn't WOWd by was the food.

The drink menu has a bunch of flavors/options to explore and the Don Julio margarita flight did not disappoint.

A little while after we sat down, a group on college kids came in and were seated at the table with us. They were a blast! We started with the burnt ends as an app. Delicious.

Ok, so, I kinda loved my experience at Lucky Ginger from beginning to end…read more Myself and my dining companion dropped by without reservations and were able to get a spot at the bar. That said, I'd likely get reservations were I to stop by again. They're a bustling little spot and saw several groups who weren't able to get a table without reservations while we were there. Where we sat at the bar, we were able to see the kitchen and our food (and others) begin prepared which was fun to see (and also nice from a transparency standpoint). Let me tell you--they are hustling in that kitchen! I began with a berry smash whiskey cocktail which was refreshing and fantastic. For my dinner, I got the bbq salmon which came with a salad to start and rice and asparagus on the side. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only small note I had was I would have loved more asparagus but honestly, I could probably ask for a side of that next time to amp up the veggies. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

Absolutely awful service. We came in at around 5:30pm, and the place barely had anyone there. We…read moresaid we didn't have a reservation, so they said we had to sit at the bar. So, we did. But luckily my husband quickly checked well before we were served and saw there were reservations available online, so he booked us one on the spot. We were then given two excuses, one by the bartender and a different one by the host as to why they couldn't honor the reservation: (1) there were no tables available for us (note the place was half empty, but we supposed maybe there were lots of reservations coming later--nope, the place was still half full by the time we left); (2) we had to make the reservations 30-40 minutes in advance and we didn't do that so even though we did have a reservation, they couldn't honor it because we made it too soon to the reservation time (WOW--complete BS). We were peeved but decided we should just enjoy our dinner. BUT as we were finishing up, about 5 couples came in WITHOUT a reservation and both the host and the bartender gave each couple the option to either sit at the bar or at a table. When I confronted the bartender about it, she claimed "they weren't supposed to do that." WHAT?! She literally just offered a couple a table without a reservation. What do you mean?! It was insulting. Anyway, we will absolutely NEVER come back here. The tip we left was solely for the kitchen staff who were hard at work and doing an honest job. Bartender and hosts are discriminatory and awful. Do NOT recommend if you are looking to be treated with respect. Would give zero stars if that were an option.

Saffron remains one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in MKE I love so many things about it. The ambiance is spot on, moody, yet energetic. Their cocktails are always ahhhmazing. Each dish that comes out is somehow better than the last, there's not one thing on the menu that disappoints. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, offering great recommendations when we are choosing between items. It's a great spot to go with a larger group so you can try lots of dishes! It's not impossible to get a reservation which I appreciate, but it's always booked/lively. The food presentation only enhances the experience, but the flavors and textures are really what make this menu shine. I cannot wait to go back in July with a group of friends (who have never been!) and try the whole menu! Bravo, Saffron, keep up the great work

So many delicious things to split between friends My absolute favorite dish they offer is the walnut shrimp. It was so delicious and sweet, I will definitely be ordering it every time I'm back at DanDan! Lastly, we tried some sweet mango crème brûlée that hit the spot at the end of a nice din din

I completely agree that this isn't authentic chinese food, but approachable fusion that tries to keep it truthful to the flavors and presentation. The highlight of the meal was the peking duck, which they only have about 2 orders of a night. We snagged it immediately when we sat down and it can easily feed 4 people with the sides. The duck was juicy and cut into thick pieces, so it was more of a steak rather than a bao style that I am used to. Nevertheless, it was delicious and even warmed up well the next day. The green onion wraps were...strange in my opinion. They fell apart easily and didn't have the best flavor that complemented the duck. Overall, I would come back for the duck itself, but everything else was average or extra salty. Service was great and the staff are very attentive. Happy eating!
