L Patrick Le'FloreApril 6, 2019The food was very nice! I really didn’t know about French Food, but I loved it! Will be back when I will be in Milwaukee again.
Erin McgarryApril 11, 2012Perfect place to grab a light meal and drinks with friends. The small plate style dining allows you to sample everything. Venture in on a Sunday for a half price bottle of wine and some Sac Mac.
Stevie SwanAugust 19, 2014SacMac is always a must (get it with bacon)! The wings are fantastic and a nice portion. The duck nachos were just alright because there was not a lot of duck and they just tasted like regular nachos.
Valentina LeonSeptember 29, 2012The food is so good! Come very hungry so you can have as many small plates as possible... Or come more than once... Get the wings... My favorite!!!! Wow- Love the baked manchego brûlée and grilled romaine Cobb salad!! (Oh and the cheese plate at happy hour is a must! $5! )
Haitham MSeptember 7, 2013They have table outside behind the store. It's really great and beautiful at night!!
Wino Wednesdays are great if you're looking to try a few higher end wines. They also have a middle of the road craft beer selection if you're not into wine...
Taylor SmithNovember 17, 2013If you come here on Wednesdays you get a great deal on wine! The half bottles are half off.
Quite possibly the best restaurant in Milwaukee. All small plates, and all of it delicious. Often a wait, but worth it!- Valentina LeonSeptember 29, 2012Food is so good you have to come very hungry to try as many as possible.... Or just come more than once... Get the wings!!!! Wow....
Matina AngelopoulouOctober 4, 2014Weird flavors but nice!!! The manchego custard was really good but don't try it if you don't want sth too sweet. The ribs were good but the portion is too small. Mushroom Napoleon were also good.
Erin RenshawSeptember 24, 2012The manchego brûlée is quite literally one of the best things I've had. Ever. Oh and sit at the bar.
Matt is the best! Excellent food choices amazing scotch, wine, and beer selection.
Debra LakisJuly 19, 2013Great food, small plates to share if you choose. Outside seating and excellent service.- Order the petit tenderloin! The quality of meat is five star and the chef knows exactly how it should be prepared.
Eric SchaeferJuly 21, 2011We come for the sandwiches... the cuban and the beef and bleu. They also have a great beer selection.
Half off bottles of wine every Sunday. Enjoy it on the back patio. A great afternoon!!
Third Coast DailyOctober 20, 2010Great, intimate place to have some wine. The bartenders are super friendly and fun to talk to. Try one of their wine flights.
Bartenders are very nice. Food is delish.Wine is great. Get the Napolean and Tuna Tartare
- Irene JaskolskiMarch 2, 2011Best Prince Edward Island Mussels in Milwaukee. I love the creme brulee also!
Nina KrausMarch 9, 2014Service leaves a lot to be desired. 25 minutes for crab cakes while servers are reading books. Flat bread pizza soggy. Or if caviar for deviled eggs.
Case of the Mondays? Take a trip to another land - 1/2 price wine flights every Monday. Lots of selection and great wine!

"The food service was a bit slow, so the (very) apologetic bartender bought us a round of shots & took care of our beers. Awesome food as well, worth the wait."

"Great place to chill, have a glass of wine, and view all the frenetic Public Market activity."
