The Original

We also ordered the New York Sour as our first round of cocktails; it was quite difficult not ordering it again, but I can't wait to try more of their offerings. For the main course, I ordered a perfectly cooked hanger steak and my wife ordered the duck breast the latter was probably the best I've had in the US.

Excellent food. Several different varieties of popular dishes with a spin. Some spice, all levels flavorful. Even my picky brother enjoyed his food! Excellent servers. Not a quick bite, because everything made from scratch.

Wow! Their brunch is amazing! Stopped by last weekend and tried the chicken and waffles is my newest craving!! Such welcoming and helpful staff! This is truly a hidden gem on the east sides! Highly recommend!

Every time I visit Milwaukee, I make a special trip to the Original for brunch. Great breakfast cocktails, especially mimosas and the "side toast". The restaurant itself is clean and bright and staff are always warm and friendly. If I could rank this place above 5 stars I would!!

The atmosphere was wonderful. And the staff amazingly polite. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was my first time . I most definitely will visit again. Best grits I've had in years.. paired with that amazing sausage gravy.. heavenly

Happened on The Original when a smiling face greeted us from the window. Stopped in for a drink and stayed for dinner. A wonderful find! The craft cocktails were delicious. I had the Cornish game hen, my friend the park tenderloin. Both were wonderfully prepared. Eric and Craig did not steer us wrong with their recommendations. We will be back!

Fantastic. Food, drinks and service were all top-notch. My pork chop (over a sauerkraut cake with Brussels sprouts) was the best I've had - tender, juicy and flavorful. The kraut tang perfectly complemented the sweet meat. Others in the group enjoyed their lamb, duck and scallops (also perfectly cooked). House made desserts were worth making room for. The panna cotta and the bread cheese tied for favorite. The front of the cocktail menu had a long list of unique creations - we liked Sweater weather and Singing in the rain - while the interior had a longer list of classics (cocktails you may not have tried before but should).

Had a fantastic meal and cocktail here. It's easy to miss the place (decor reminds me of a repurposed house), but once you've discovered its location you won't forget it. Prices are fair considering the quality of the meal, but higher so it's worth noting for those unfamiliar. I plan on going many more times.

This is a wonderful little restaurant. The food is upscale, but the environment is casual. All of the menu items are very creative, using unusual preparations and ingredients. The presentation of the food was very good. We walked in on a Saturday night, but I recommend that you get a reservation. We will definitely be back.

What an amazing experience. Small quaint restaurant in Milwaukee that is a must!
Had the opportunity to speak with the owners, two brothers with passion and pride in their restaurant.
Scollops for dinner and the NY strip. Potato’s and brussel sprouts that were amazing. The duck appetizer off the charts! The drinks from old fashioneds to gin drinks that were masterfully made.
Highly recommend and for the quality the prices are on par for a high quality experience.
If you get the chance make sure to ask the owners about their passion, 2 great men.
Definitely will be driving back from the suburbs to eat here again
