"The Diplomat is great. They weren 't quite ready to seat us when we showed up (we were early), so we got to sit at the bar and enjoy a cocktail. As soon as the dining room was set up, they fetched us and brought us to our table. This was a pretty good indication of the service to come we were well taken care of the entire evening. The bar staff worked with my girlfriend to create a non alcoholic mocktail drink based on her taste preferences. The waitress, as well as a number of staff members, made sure our glasses were always full and our table was always stocked with food. The food was delicious. The date carpaccio was sweet and paired well with the saltier fontina cheese it was served with. I usually don 't like steak fries, but the fries were actually a good mix between crispy and fluffy, and came out perfectly. The chicken in a biscuit was a fun take on a classic, though it felt like more biscuit than chicken. I didn 't love the flavor profile of the pork cheek, but it was flawlessly tender. The peanut butter pie for dessert was to die for. The atmosphere inside is really fun, modern without being stuffy. Plenty of art adorns the walls and there 's plenty to look at. The dining room wasn 't crowded at all and was not at all noisy. We felt very comfortable there. The prices feel a little high for the food you get, but that tends to be the way with small plates dining. In addition, the attentive service The Diplomat offers justifies the price a little more. Overall, a spot on dining experience."

Had no idea what to expect. Pleasantly surprised. Small plates. Some unusual choices. Met chef/ owner and wife. Wait staff extremely pleasant and very helpful with choices. Wonderful experience!

Our waitress was very pleasant and we enjoyed our cocktails. Tightly packed tables might just be a Brady Street thing but I could hear every word spoken around us. The beef short ribs looked great and the first bit was rich and tender. Disappointment crept in as the center was dry and flavorless. Rye-parmesan bread crumbs gave the deviled eggs a rewarding crunch but over all were too salty for my liking. Hook's 5 year cheddar could make most any dish special. Although, It couldn't pull the Farroto from the homily plop of a flop it was. To sum it up, the dirty sidewalk out front was an omen to the lack of care and detail we experienced at the Diplomat.

"My husband and I have made it a tradition to try different steak houses in the Milwaukee area for our anniversary. This year we decided on Rare. We loved the ambiance and our waitress was great. We had no idea when the reservation was made that Fridays they offer half off bottles of select wine and we definitely took advantage of that! The Burgess Cellars Cabernet was delicious! For our meals we decided to start out with salads. My husband is a very adventurous eater and eats everything except for onions. He despises onions. He ordered the chopped salad without onions. Upon arrival we could smell them. A few bites in and onions. We sent the salad back and a new one is brought out and guess what. More onions. The waitress said she was a bit surprised since she said she watched them remake it and we were a bit disappointed. For our meals, my husband and I each ordered the dry aged bone in rib eye and brussel sprouts with goat cheese and mushrooms in truffle oil for our sides. The sides were phenomenal. I would go back just for the sides. The steaks on the other hand were not as great as we were hoping they’d be. The char on the steaks overpowered any of the dry aged flavoring we were expecting to taste and the steaks themselves were very difficult to cut. We have never had this issue before at any of the other high end restaurants we’ve been to. This was also disappointing. All in all we rate this restaurant a The service was great (thanks Quinn), the wine delicious and the sides phenomenal. Quinn also gave us a glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary, that was a lovely gesture. We’re glad we tried Rare but will definitely not be returning… well, maybe for those sides!"
