"Such a lovely restaurant. Beautiful, airy interior. Although the tables felt somewhat close to each other, the high ceilings still make it feel spacious. I also like that there's a little shopping area in the front. The food was great, including some inventive dishes, and our server was knowledgable and accommodating. One of our friends had a nut allergy and she didn't make a big deal of it at all and ordered what she could, but since quite a few things on their menu included nuts, the restaurant was so kind in giving her one of the nut-free appetizers on the house for her to enjoy. I thought that was such a kind gesture that they didn't even have to do and my friend greatly appreciated it."

"Walked in on a Saturday night around 5:30 and the place was packed. For a party of two, there were 14 couples ahead of us. So we opted to sit at the bar, which was also packed. Still, we found a place to stand nearby and ordered a glass of wine while we waited for two seats to open up. While it felt a bit rude to be "hovering" behind the patrons, it was understood without issue. Once we were able to slide into a spot at the bar, we ordered the Grand Seafood Tower, which came with oysters, crab, shrimp and salmon tartare. The crab was sweet and tender, and the oysters (for me) didn't need any accoutrements. There was a hint of the ocean in the flavor, which was an absolute treat. The shrimp were creatively intertwined into pairs, and delightfully tender. The low lighting, gorgeous wood floor and tables and elegant chandeliers create a wonderful, intimate setting perfect for connecting. Service is friendly and quick, and the food is worth however long you need to wait."

"It was my first time at Bavette and everything was absolutely perfect! The attention to detail, food taste, service and outgoing, attentive staff are what stood out to me most. I had the chicken sandwich with fries and garlic aoli, WiscoPop Old Fashioned, Sangria, and pudding for dessert, and it was all delectable. I'll definitely be back!"

"Chef choice charcuterie was fantastic! I loved the honey spread and homemade crackers. The roasted carrot salad was very well balanced, the prunes with pistachios with baba ghanoush! The steak sandwich had a lot of flavors competing for first, the steak had a heavy char which did taste bitter. The latte was awesome, I didn’t even add sugar."

"Had an amazing lunch in Milwaukee! Our server, Meg was super friendly, helpful, and gave us the best recommendations. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the deviled eggs, fresh salad, and the star of the meal, the Reuben. Great food and even better service!"
