Stopped in before a show at The Rave. Five of us…read more TLDR: I think the only positive thing about our experience was that we could walk across the street to the show. Upon entering it wasn't too clear where we needed to go. We figured it out eventually but the empty host stand was in no way a clue. Four, five, six staff walked past as we waited. For ten minutes. When seated, service was super slow -- think 45 minutes for our first round of drinks after sitting down. Truthfully I felt bad for the servers. It was clear they had no idea how any of this is supposed to work and/or it was first day on the job for everyone. The menu was ... interesting. Did not expect a full on Mexican selection, which in itself would not have been bad. However the "food person" and the "drink person" need to figure out who they want to be - collaboratively. None of the drinks (gin mostly) went with the food in ANY kind of way. Nothing 'New American' about anything. The bar must have run out of appropriate glassware since all our drinks came in a brandy snifter. The drinks arrived after our food and we were never offered a second round. Food - eh. Unmemorable, but not offensive or disgusting. Again, would have liked a steak with my gin drink -- or maybe a margarita to go with the chippy salsie. One dish was unavailable, but not communicated at the order. We ended up needing to refill our own waters. You get the idea. As far as the space itself - cute. But small. Can't say it was cozy? Always liked the Ambassador, and the bathrooms were a fun distraction from the service. Minus the part where they ran out of (cloth) hand towels. So much potential - with a lot of revisions. Nothing I would want to do again - just like The Rave. We shall call it "The Fritz"

Mimosa is consistent in the quality of its meals and service…read more I appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the layout & cleanliness of the restaurant. I need to come back to try their items for lunch. Definitely the best breakfast & brunch in Brookfield.

Another great meal at Mimosa!…read more Getting on the wait list on the way over is the move! We were seated almost immediately after arriving. Our serving team was friendly and efficient, our food came out quickly, steaming hot, and was delicious! I loved the birria skillet special, and my husband enjoyed the chicken souvla skillet (my usual!). The fresh OJ is excellent, too.

Stopped in to LP with my kiddo and wife before the Jonas Brothers concert. I had seen their…read moredelicious food photos on Instagram and knew this would be a good spot for us. While other restaurants in the district had hour and a half plus waits, we practically owned the place sitting wherever we liked. On event days they have a reduced menu. As they were slow, the kitchen gracefully allowed us to place a regular menu Crustless Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque order for our kiddo. I ordered the LP Burger with bacon ($14 + $2.5 - double smash, sharp american cheese, shredded lettuce, fresh tomato, shaved red onion, LP sauce, potato roll) and my wife ordered the Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Sammy ($12 - honey mop glaze, mayo, shredded lettuce and pickles). The bar has a fair amount of good bourbons and at decent prices for being in the deer district, such as the double neat pour of Stagg I had. There was one bartender/server for the place, but she knew how to hustle while still being super friendly. The interior could use some art on the walls, but is bright and clean otherwise. The food was delicious and presented very well. That bacon I paid extra for? Oh my goodness. Thick cut, perfectly cooked, so dang good. Usually I regret adding bacon but here it is a must. My 8-year-old kiddo, who is practically a vegetarian at this point, devoured her grilled cheese and half of the big bowl of soup. I never even saw my wife's chicken sammy, so you know it was good when it goes down that fast. Thankfully as our food arrived the place started to fill, as they deserve to be filled! I want to come back on a non-event day to try the shrimp poboy, their house dry rub wings, as well as on the weekend for their brunch.

LP MKE: This is a relatively new bar/restaurant that opened near Fiserv Forum in August of 2023…read more The name serves a dual purpose as it stands for Local Pub (LP) as well as a reference to the building's past as a record store (LP was a type of record that stands for long playing or long play). I dined at the restaurant as part of a wedding rehearsal dinner, and they had a BYO burger bar. The potato bun was soft, perfectly chewy, and had hints of potato and butter. As for the smash burger patty it was pleasantly crispy but still juicy. Staff were attentive and friendly. Doughboy approved! Only reason for four instead of five is no premium or out of the box toppings (cheese curds, macaroni and cheese, fried egg, etc..) were offered. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

The crepes are always delicious and their lattes are impeccable, I'm pretty sure they make their own syrups. We tried one of their scones recently and it was one of the best scones I've had in a while. Perfectly moist and a little bit crumbly, great texture, highly recommend. The goodfellas crepe is always my go-to, it's the perfect combination of savory and sweet which is always my breakfast struggle, deciding which one I want so why struggle when you can have the best of both worlds?!

Delicious crêpes! At my recent visit, I ordered a Paris sweet crêpe without almonds and it was…read morebeautifully made and so delicious. The café itself is super cute with a little trinket & cards shopping section by the front seating area. The seating area by the ordering counter we found was much quieter than the other seating area inside, which was VERY loud. I partially attribute this to one particularly loud table that was seated in there and not entirely the space itself, but I do think that sound reduction panels or something would help. I felt I was shouting a bit to be heard by the person sitting across from me. It took around 15 minutes for our food to be brought out, which I felt was reasonable considering the busyness of the restaurant. Another thing, the menu is very inclusive! Lots of vegan and gluten-free options which all sound delicious. I heard from fellow customers who ordered the gluten-free options that they were excellent. Not only is it dietary inclusive, but lots of different sweet and savory options. And many sides and items other than crêpes that sound equally delightful. I can't wait to be back!

Esterev is a cute little restaurant in the Bayview area right next to other similar trendy…read morerestaurants. The decor reminded me of a modern farmhouse design. We had a reservation so we were able to be seated right away but the restaurant was not very busy for the most part for a Tuesday night. The space is small but the tables weren't on top of each other. The menu has multiple parts to it similar to Italian style where there's a first, second and main course. The Virginia oysters were large and had a more briney taste than sweet taste. The sauce that came with was good and cut the briney essence. I really liked my steak and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. My husband got the chicken stuffed with sausage which was okay. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and the food was well made. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely go again to try another dish. The bill was pricey with two entrees, two drinks, a dozen raw oysters, appetizer and dessert which ran $218 without tip.

Most of the food options are vegetarian. I had the house seasonal sangria, which was tequila based with tajin on the rim (YUM!). We ordered all four $1 and $3 apps, which came out quickly in 3 rounds. My favorite were: Pan con Tomate (4 pieces) - very fresh tomatoes! Hot Honey Tosta (2 pieces) - the bread is sooo good, and the ricotta/honey/chili flake topping is superb Empanadillas (2 pieces) - not a huge carrot fan but these were amazing, so much flavor! Cauliflower Tosta (2 pieces) - again, the bread is fantastic!! Everything we ordered was enough for 3 people. You do need to enter on the north side of the building, and it is really quite fancy. We all felt underdressed. The happy hour is offered upstairs, where the bar and patio are located, and most people were dressed "business casual." Service was fantastic as well. They do add an 18% service charge" on the bill, which no one was really sure how to handle as there is also a tip line. I felt as though I double tipped on drinks ($27 drinks + $18% service charge + $5 tip)... I guess I need to look up how this is supposed to work here in the US prior to my next visit. I will most certainly return as the food was AMAZING!!
