“ A friend recommended we try the food. We had a million other breakfast/brunch places on our radar but I'm so glad we listened to the friend. The food was DELICIOUS!! The pancakes were fluffy with a buttery crunch to the edges. The potatoes were probably some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had... a nice blend of soft and crunchy and full of flavor. Our waitress was delightful, and she even offered us a coffee to go, which was greatly appreciated. The hotel is breathtaking upon walking in. I see why my friend recommended it. ”
“ High Tea was exceptional and a fun experience. The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable. Can't beat the view of the city either. ”
“ Amazing service, friendly staff! We loved our waitress, she was so attentive and she told us a few ghost stories about the hotel and other haunted places in Wisconsin. Mimosas were perfect, mostly champagne and just a splash of OJ. My bagel breakfast sandwich was really good. The hash browns were great! Most Milwaukee brunch places only serve breakfast potatoes, this was a nice change. ”
“ The corned beef hash was absolutely the best I've ever had. I ordered it with hash browns because that's what the waitress recommended and they layer it with spinach on a bed of mustard cream sauce. I got fruit as an added side. I really appreciate the genuine recommendations by the waitress. The restaurant is comfortable and this dish was spectacular. ”
“ Delicious food and fresh ingredients. They also have incredible pastries. I had the Cobb salad and slider of the day combo. ”
“ Cute and convenient cafe for those staying at the Pfister. I love that they have both counter and table service to serve both those in a rush and those wanting a relaxed service. The pancakes I had at table service were fantastic, they fall apart and pack a flavor punch despite being 'plain'. At the counter I had the croissant and it was super flaky, can confirm it's a good one as a croissant conessiour. ”
