    I always forget my awesome server's names but I could never forget Emily. She was the SWEETEST and so helpful with our indecisiveness. We took pretty much every recommendation she had and all of the food was amazing! I would go back to Engine Company No. 3 just to be served by Emily again...and I probably will.

    A fire department turned restaurant that has THEE BEST brunch in Milwaukee. If you have not been here, you're missing out and I highly recommend that you take some time to come enjoy these wonderful and delicious dishes. It's not just the food that's good. The service is unmatched. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The servers are very attentive and fast. The food comes out as soon as they are made so you'll always have a hot plate of food. Reservations are highly encouraged since this place is easily booked up on the weekends. A sure way to secure a table is booking through Open Table. Let's get to the food review. I mean what can I say besides it's delicious and you have to try it for yourself. A few dishes that are an absolutely dream are the veggie empanadas, roasted veggie crepes, quiche Lorraine, quiche florrentine, the pork Benedict is TO DIE FOR!!! I'm telling you, all of these dishes are so incredibly delicious and it is tapas style so you can share different dishes with your love ones. Mmmm what else... oh try the orange juice. I don't know what is in it but it's so fresh and yummy. For more "fun" drinks, the chai maintenance is very tasty and will get you a little tipsy. Overall, a phenomenal place for all ages. Bring your whole family if you want. Try all the dishes. I'm telling you, it's for sure worth it.

    Delicious! It's a brunch style brunch spot with different types of dishes from different countries. For tapas, the dishes were pretty big so we didn't have to order much to fill us up. I also got the salted caramel latte and it was so good! Service was nice and ambience was cool as well. Definitely try the tres leches French toast, so delicious!

    Hubby and I went for brunch with friends at 8:30AM on July 4th. The restaurant takes reservations so it secured us a table for 6 during the holiday weekend & after Bucks won a big game. It's pretty quiet at that time which we all liked. Spacious, casual, clean, bright with lots of nostalgic decor. Our server was very friendly and took good care of us. We ordered and shared the monkey bread, goat-cheese cheese curds, patatas chorizo, French toast & quiche Lorraine. I loved the super rich & flavorful quiche Lorraine a lot - creamy, savory base with that nice crunchy bacon. The French toast was sweet and soft which I liked too. Our friend who's visiting from DC tasted everything and really liked this place.

    A solid good brunch place i have been in a while. Our party of 5 got seated within 20 minutes getting to the spot (which is rare on a Sunday at 11 am!). The wait staff was courteous and kind in explaining the menu and helped us understand what the portion sizes were. The atmosphere of the restaurant is that of an old firestation and its very eclectic with framed historical pieces on the wall. Lots of fire station artifacts are displayed to bring you into the narrative. We ordered some Sunday drinks (bloodys, teas and mimosas) and some brunch foods (Benedict, truffle potato skins, quiche and shrimp creole). All delicious and well balanced flavors. Recommend this place for brunch for sure!

    Had a great brunch experience here and would definitely come back! The food we got was all delicious and there's so many more menu items I want to come back to try. The ambiance is lovely whether you are inside or on the patio, and the garage door opens up to let plenty of air and light in even when you're sitting inside. They explained the concept as tapas to share but "Wisconsin sized tapas" so pretty decently sized portions if you don't want to share. I do think some of the dishes can be a little difficult or uncomfortable to split if you are not close with your group, but if you are used to family style then there should be no problem. They take reservations online which is always convenient! Service was quick even on a Sunday afternoon and the staff was super friendly.

    Stopped by Engine company No. 3 with my friend on a Friday morning. Got seated right away, the decor is super charming it's a renovated firehouse turned into a restaurant. Loved how they have a variety of dishes from different countries like Colombia, France, Spain, Mexico and many more. Is a tapas brunch serving style restaurant! And their ingredients come from local farms in Wisconsin which is always a plus the food tastes 10x more fresh. Our server was so kind and helpful. Asked for some recommendations and she recommended the patacón con huevo y chorizo so that's what ordered, it was delicious definitely recommend.

    The true winner of this brunch is the "Make It A Round" mimosas! You get a whole carafe of Proscecco that you can dribble with orange juice, or vice versa (but you're doing it wrong this way!) The food was hot and fresh. The large tapas style menus makes it a unique experience every time you visit. A great Milwaukee local spot!

    Truffle potato skins
    Jessica J.

    My friend and I decided brunch was in order for her birthday, and she'd never been to Engine Company No.3. Having not been there in a few years myself, it seemed like the perfect time to return! I love the aesthetic of this place -- the cream city brick, exposed pipping and duct work, and weathered flooring give off a cool, rustic feel. What's different now is their great new safety precautions, including limited tables, tapped lines on the floor to indicate social distancing, all staff in masks, and plastic barriers between tables. It really must have been a long time since my last visit here, because I completely forgot this is a tapas (small plate) restaurant. The menu is packed with an array of options like Argentinian pork belly, roasted veggie crepes, and pancakes or French toast for those who prefer a sweeter dish. We started by sharing the truffled potato skins, and oh my goodness were those delicious. The perfect amount of crisp, truly covered in truffle oil, and topped with shaved parmesan cheese. My friend enjoyed the lobster quiche for herself, and I went for the veggie omelette that was on special. Five stars on both accounts. As we were leaving, we both remarked how lovely our server was (Emily I believe her name was). She made our brunch experience extra enjoyable by being so friendly, smiley, and knowledgeable! Thanks for that, it goes a long way :)

    Amazing place for tapas brunch! The portion sizes are perfect for sharing plates and all the food options are fantastic!

    Patata Bravas (sans egg)

    What a great menu. Everything here is farm to table and is organized by "field" (plant based ish) or "pasture" (meat). The table got an array of dishes and we were all impressed with the dishes. The patio was a great shady spot!

    Delicious and extraordinary dining experience! Unique restaurant setting with a bar at the entrance. You gotta try it for yourself to find out!

    Pomegranate Mimosa

    We chose Engine Company No. 3 for our brunch because it had great reviews AND it was clear from their website that they take COVID-19 safety seriously! And we were delighted on all fronts. First and foremost, we felt safe and taken care of the entire meal! Thank you for taking your safety, and the safety of your customers, seriously! Other restaurants should take pointers from ya'll! Second, the patio seating was gorgeous, comfortable, green, and spacious! We thoroughly loved that we were able to make RESERVATIONS and that we had a comfortable and relaxing dining experience. Plus the staff were delightful and friendly! Definitely a community-friendly dinning experience! Third, and most importantly, the food and drink were DIVINE! We each got a drink to start. I got the pomegranate mimosa. It was so perfectly a balance of sweet and bitter! My friend got a Bloody Mary and loved it! My husband got a beer from the excellent beer selection! For food, we decided to share three different main courses and LOVED it! The quiche Lorraine was amazing! Everything was house made, fresh, and decadent! The tres lèche French toast was INCREDIBLE! The flavors were perfect! And since we shared, we didn't feel overwhelmed by sweetness. Perfect! The pork belly on garlic mashed potatoes was the biggest hit. The meat melted in your mouth and was perfectly balanced by the flavorful and creamy mashed potatoes. I could have eaten the entire plate three times, it was so great! In summary, Engine Company No. 3 has won our hearts, bellies, and safety-conscious minds! Thank you and we look forward to visiting again in the future!

    Monkey Bread! We debated on this just because we had already had our fair share of sweets on this trip, but man are we happy we tried it!

Angry?! I was both. I finally called to ask if the hours had changed. It's not that the hours have changed, per say, but the business has changed. The New business model is event space only and no longer open to the public. Whilst this makes me incredibly sad as that was my hidden spot and the only champagne bar in Milwaukee it's bittersweet because of course a great success for the business in that they have enough event reservations to sustain it alone. Will someone else please open a champagne bar? (with bigger glasses -- now I know I'm asking too much!) Cuvee was one of my places... my hidden places to take people for the first time because I always knew 9 times out of 10 no one knew about it. The access to the building from the street was a complete mystery and an adventure on it's own as people would ask: "Where are you taking me". Silence I would remain... for I didn't want to take away from the journey. Oh and also, I quite simply love, love, love champagne. My only issue with champagne is the tiny, skinny little glass that it comes in. Makes me sad just thinking about the littleness of a champagne glass... *tears up*

When I arrived, 10 min early, the elevator was locked to reach that floor. I called twice and went to voicemail and also emailed to let them know I was waiting. After waiting 15-20 min after our scheduled time we asked another vendor in the building if they had any access to that floor or another phone number for us and we were informed that when a floor is locked that means no one is present in the space. It's been hours and I still haven't heard back... Extremely frustrated with the lack of service and shocked that I was willing to spend so much money on a place with such poor regard for their guests.

There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings.
