Milwaukee​のベストファーム・トゥ・テーブルレストラン

EsterEv makes you feel like you are a celebrity being cooked for at a close friends home. The service is so friendly and familiar while still being extremely professional. This was my second time at EsterEv and it is such a hidden gem. The food is incredible and fresh and uniquely prepared and presented. I kept telling the server how I could never conceive of cooking like this at home which is of course part of the reason dining out at a place like this is a special treat. The sausage dish was transcendent. The bread and broth were like a warm hug on a cold night and the tiny tart at the end was the icing on top. We drove from Chicago and it was worth every minute and every penny. Highly recommend.

The ambience was one of the best in Milwaukee. We got a seat right by the window, and I love the old architecture inside the building. Our food was delicious, I would highly recommend the sourdough with truffle cheddar and chive butter as an appetizer. The only thing I wish is that they had more steak options. They only had one steak option was $45 sirloin steak. Other than that, it was great!

My wife and I are big fans of Birch, which is why we dined here on Valentine’s Day. We sat at the chef’s counter and really enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. It’s easy to see why Chef Knall is a 2025 James Beard nominee for best Chef Midwest. The GM at Birch is so personable and acknowledges us on every visit. It’s no wonder his staff is so helpful and courteous. Book your reservation with confidence.

Bavette has the best roast beef sandwich I’ve ever eaten, and there is no close second. It’s pricey but worth it. Absolutely delicious. Attentive service, casual but professional ambiance.

I didn't know until I got there that this is located in the old White House bar, which was favorite of mine in the early 90's. The instant nostalgic hit was my first impression. I love how Sage has kept the beauty and character of the place while giving it a lovely update with chandeliers, plants, and paintings by local artists. I ordered the Lavender #2 cocktail to begin and it was so delicious and presented so prettily that I had to order a second. My dinner was the Winter Salad with Salmon and it was also not only delicious but pretty as well. I am gluten free and the menu was full of great options for me. It was a very slow night, mid week, so I had the opportunity to enjoy chatting with both the owner and the server, who were absolutely lovely. I will definitely return and highly recommend a visit.
