"This restaurant was really trying to be the third coast by dumping the entire ocean 's worth of salt into their dishes. I have never been so thirsty in my life the day after I ate here. With the number of great reviews on top of the beautiful interiors, I had such high expectations for this restaurant that I happily brought my partner and his father (who traveled from out of the country to visit to the restaurant. Imagine my disappointment and embarrassment for bringing them here, only to be given overpriced and oversalted food. The only redeeming factors of the restaurant were the interior design (absolutely gorgeous , the potholes (delicious but still salty , and our waitress who served us in the mezzanine on 10/8 (I forgot her name, sorry! . When we first got our appetizer--the mushrooms, we were literally eating a spoonful of salt at a time. I RARELY send back food, but I had to send the mushrooms back before the dish induces any hypertensive emergency among us. After we got the new mushrooms dish after telling our waitress we wanted just 1/4-1/3 of the salt, the dish still came back extremely salty and the waitress said the cook apologized for ACCIDENTALLY DOUBLE-SALTING THE DISH. I 'm sorry, but WHAT. All of our subsequent dishes then tasted all just like salt without a hint of other seasoning. I wasn 't sure if it 's because our tastebuds were so skewed after eating so much salt that our remaining dishes just didn 't taste that great. It was just salty. Anyways we walked out with a $260 bill for three people which was outrageous for this quality of food in Milwaukee of all places. I 'm not sure how people are raging about this restaurant. I have sworn to never return and have told others to avoid going to this restaurant altogether. Opt for somewhere else for better quality food that 's actually worth the cost."

"This place is lovely and intimate. It has the feel that a restaurant in this sleepy little town should have. The tables are very close together which for me is awesome because I get to look at what everyone else is ordering, but don't go there for a quiet romantic for two dinner or if you need privacy. The evening our party of four was there we had the butternut squash soup, the lobster wedge salad, the fresh greens salad, the lobster roll, the halibut in curry and the ribeye with spinach and mushroom sides. All was amazing and raved over except the ribeye and sides. It was cooked perfectly but incredibly salty. We are all real salt lovers and had been told by friends that they had had a salty experience with the steak and we kind of poopooed that because they eat almost no salt, but the couple that had it on this trip were sucking down water by the end of it. So, we highly recommend everything else except the ribeye unless you ask the kitchen to hold most of the salt which chef run restaurants tend to turn a stink eye at, so maybe just order something else. The only other complaint came from the wine drinkers as the managermaitre d' came to repour wine and poured both glasses but because there was maybe two ounces left in the bottle just proceeded to top of one of the drinkers and leave with the bottle. Being a restaurant worker myself, I am sure he did it to clear the table, but it goes against wine etiquette to top off like that when not asked to. Anyway, overall an excellent experience with a couple of minor tweaks needed. Would have no qualms about returning"
