The Original

We love the Original.
We were last there when the patio was still open. At that time they were taking about there new Covid idea to seat only one party at a time in the dining area for a set price for a 4 course meal with drinks.
We thought that was a great idea.
We were able to get are parents out of their houses tonight for a somewhat normal experience. To share some good times with us and the server and bartender. No one else for 2 hours. The food and drinks were fantastic. I had Brussel sprouts, chili, steak and pie. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere was nice they even turned ther lights up for the older eyes. We ended with a candle for a young 80 year old to celebrate his birthday. It was nice to have a place to be safe with just us and to live life as best we can and to support places like the Original so they can survive.

The Original was amazing! My family (4 adults + 2 kids) ate there recently - we were in town from Chicago. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was incredible. They didn't have a kids menu but accommodated with food for the Littles. I had the Elk, my wife had the scallops, my mom had the filet and my dad had the pork chop - ALL dishes where 10 out of 10. Also, the cocktails are top notch. It's one of those places where no matter what you drink or eat lots of love will go into the prep and presentation.

Absolutely loved it, can’t understand why the place wasn’t as crowded as comparable establishments in bay view or walker’s point. Maybe a little further off the beaten path but well worth the trip. Food, drinks, and service all top notch!

Cozy place with spot-on food. Had Easter brunch (my first time here) and was delighted with what we ordered. I had an excellent Monte Cristo sandwich and was, overall, more than happy with our experience. Would recommend, and I'll have to try and come back to try their regular menu sometime!

Fantastic! Last night was our first visit. This new Milwaukee restaurant won't be a best kept secret for long. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The only thing I would like to see is for them to concentrate on some signature craft cocktails because the food isn't necessarily the only thing to go back for! We will be back again soon. Thank you for a great meal. It was a pleasure.

Can’t imagine there is a better restaurant in Milwaukee. Fantastic atmosphere with even better service and food. The fact that there wasn’t a line out the door indicates that people simply don’t know about this place. Our party had several items from the menu and everything was incredible. We will stop here every time we’re in town.

The food here is incredible. We've come here for both brunch and dinner, and it is always delicious, especially the Duck Duck Brunch. The cocktail list here is out of this world, with fun options like a flip made with brown butter washed rum.

Every time that we have tried the food here it has been great! And we have been trying it for years!
We went back yesterday and had the Cobb salad, corn beef hash, avocado toast, ricotta pancakes with their fresh squeezed orange juice and they were all so good!
It's a great brunch choice.

Awesome staff, delicious food and drinks. Holy S*#@ the Bloody Mary was so good. We did brunch but will be back for dinner!

Superb service and excellent food. This place is certainly original and one of a kind! A must go on any occasion. But I'd definitely take my date here as the aesthetic is lovely and the overall experience is Wonderfully charming
