I came here, first time, on a whim since it's close to where I reside and I always walk by it…read more I was out and about earlier in the day and wanted to have a nice sit down meal for myself. I love sandwiches and knew I had to try the pastrami. It was fantastic. I've been trying to cut back on caffeine and I instead went with one of their refreshers on the menu. It was I believe and 'Blue and Grapefruit' - and that wasn't my favorite as someone who doesn't really care for grapefruit that much. I got it thinking it would be diluted a bit, SO, if you like grapefruit, I'm sure it's perfect for you. I also got a peanut butter oreo pie and wish I took a picture of it...but I devoured it too quick to even think about it. For me, that dessert was the definite highlight of the cafe. I'll definitely come back on more weekends when I have a craving for pastrami.

We hosted our wedding reception at Centraal Grand Café & Tappery, and it was absolutely fabulous!…read moreEverything came together beautifully, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. Our wedding planner, Molly, was AMAZING. She was organized, responsive, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She made sure every detail was taken care of, and on our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we could simply enjoy ourselves and celebrate with our family and friends. The space was beautiful, the food and drinks were fantastic, and the entire staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Our guests had such a wonderful time, and we received so many compliments about the reception. A huge thank you to Molly and the entire Centraal team for making our wedding reception so special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Centraal to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding reception or special-event venue in Milwaukee. 5 stars all around!

So I got a gift card for an excuse to go back. They have great little areas and with the outside patio it's a perfect brunch spot.

My daughter ordered the mussels curry, and I chose one of the bites with hummus. Everything was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The hummus was absolutely fantastic.

It was welcoming, comfortable, and made for a great dining experience. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

My friend and I decided to check out The Deep Groove on a recent Saturday evening. It was pretty…read moreearly, before 6pm, but the place was jam packed the whole time we were there. We entered to find a cozy, warm feeling space, tight with tables and a large bar. The decor is thrift store Grandma eclectic. We later realized there was a separate room in the back with one larger table that could host a small group. Otherwise, you're looking at parties of 4 sitting comfortably or couples. They've filled in lots of little details to bring the space to life, including a shiny tin (maybe real, maybe not) ceiling, lamps, mismatched tables and chairs. The music started out with jazz, but eventually segued into funk as the evening went on. They played some cool stuff, but the volume made it hard to talk to the person sitting directly next to me. Cool that you can bring in your vinyl and they'll play if after a cleaning or you can request tunes. We ordered at the bar, which I guess was the way its done. I tried an Aviation and we ordered one of the tinned fish on offer - a Portuguese trout in dill cream sauce. I found the price for the fish a tad high, since the accompaniments are a little slim - we got far too few crackers, a half dozen withered red grapes, some cheese (good, but needed more), 5-6 tiny gherkins and 4 pickled peppers. We didn't get plates or napkins, so it was a bit messy and awkward to eat. We did request more crackers and got a generous basket full. The fish was excellent. My friend got a wine she seemed to enjoy. My second drink was a Paper Plane, which was also very good and well balanced. I ordered some olives to fill in our blank spots and we got a nice assortment, primarily green and two skewers to stab them with. While we we there we experienced some really loud guests at the bar, which also made it hard to talk. I will go back to try the daytime experienced, morning food items and coffee. We liked the overall feel of the place and the concept, we just thought there were some small kinks they could work out.

Had Edith on my list to try for a while and after a couple false starts (came on a couple of…read moreoccasions and they had closed early), we finally made it! The space is cozy and while I do love the overall decor--the lights killed the vibe for me (too, too bright in a space that begs for amber). The drink menu is delightful. I got a vieux carre while my dining companion opted for a boulevardier--both were outstanding. The owner/bartender is lovely and the prices are average for the area.

Can't say enough how much I love Edith. Friends and I have frequented a few times, since first…read morevisiting over the summer, and it's always enjoyable! Their menu is crafted perfectly, so each cocktail is its own unique experience. The ambiance is comfortable and moody (their playlists are a vibe), which makes it easy to stay a while. Best of all the service is always impeccable - from the owner herself to the mixologists! Highly recommend to anyone who loves a nice speakeasy!

Being a nursing student that needs a quiet space to study, do homework and also take exams with…read moreRespondus Lockdown Browser, I was looking for something that met all my needs. Oh, and of course coffee and food too. Well, I found that and MORE here at Wantable Cafe. Not only is it FREE to come here--no monthly subscription unlike some other remote work cafes but they also let you reserve noise cancelling pods. Two pods have couches where a few people can sit and work together and one pod is for a solo person working--or like in my case having to take an exam with dead quietness, no people, pets and be heavily scrutinized. The rest of the cafe has a bunch of tables ranging from 2 people to groups of 6 people, couches, comfy chairs AND lots of plug outlets. So there is plenty of space for you and others if you need it. Now let's get to the good part---the FOOD. The have gourmet pizza slices sold by the ounce, gourmet cannolis (the matcha and chocolate was to die for), breakfast sandwiches, bowls, snacks, basically everything you could want to set up shop. Plus wine and beer! My only wish is that they were open 24/7 because I also work 3rd shift and finding anywhere to study without waking up my wife and disturbing my precious dog is difficult.

First time here. Stopped in early for a hot beverage and pastry…read more Didn't really know that this place existed until I did a search for coffee shops in the Walker's Point area. It's down a side street off of 1st Street, so it's easy to miss. It's a brick building sitting on the corner, with just enough signage to let you know you're at the right place. Inside is a large area that is both a coffee shop and a coworking/collaboration space to help people connect. There are large tables for groups, small tables for couples, or work pods for privacy. Great idea! They have the usual barista favorites, along with smoothies, breakfast, and lunch items. When I arrived, there were several other people working on their laptops. Met the friendly barista and ordered my usual London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam). They didn't have scones (so sad), but they did offer some nice bakery items that they source from Stone Creek Coffee. After several minutes, my London Fog was ready, along with the Morning Bun. They did a nice job with the drink, it was the perfect temperature (about 140F), and the pastry was warmed up nicely as well. During my time there, other people started to show up, but the noise level was good. Conversations were quiet and respectful of others. This place does a nice job of balancing the intimacy of a coffee shop with the need for a collaboration space.

We stopped in here for one of their velvety smooth and delicious caramel lattes and a little lunch. For lunch, I got their veggie wrap. It was super basic but the toppings were fresh. It wasn't anything special but fortified me for more shopping. The service is always lovely, the atmosphere is bright and relaxing, and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!

It was later in the day so they were running low on bakery items, but spotted a red velvet cookie, YUM! Was doing some shopping and decided to pop in for a pick me up. Service was friendly, and decided to get my chai for dine-in, to enjoy a moment with all of the fun artwork and to catch up with a friend. Chai was delicious, and chairs by the window were a comfy spot to take a moment and people watch along Broadway. Pretty cool conference space that you can rent, looked like it had all the bells and whistles for a productive meeting. Nice to be able to peruse the art gallery and art pieces for sale as I waited for my beverage. Highly recommend, and prices are competitive to any other coffee shop in the neighborhood!

Ok I'm not much of a beer guy these days but I had heard about Spotted Cows and how you can only get them in Wisconsin, so, when in Rome, right? It was good! Very mild and the kind of beer you could go through a few of pretty quickly. The bar itself is like the hotel; rustic, cool, modern, and pricey. I was hoping to get food but the kitchen was close to closing so I held off. They had Thursday Night Football on in the background, and the overall energy was good for a hotel bar. Not much more to say but was good to stop by for a pint to try it out.
