What started out as a butcher shop concept, has evolved and changed over the years to become a full-service restaurant, which was solidified with the restaurant's move to a larger space in 2022. At Bavette, the consumer will enjoy complete transparency of its food moving from farm to plate. Although the butcher shop has been phased out, the restaurant still works with the same farms, and uses the same high quality meats on its menu, which consists of a daily changing menu consisting of salads, sandwiches, small plates, pates, cheese, and charcuterie boards. The restaurant truly is a farm-to-table restaurant, sourcing not only the meat but most of its produce from nearby farms. In addition to the highly seasonal menu, there is a small store featuring chef-curated retail items, such as Wisconsin cheeses, local charcuterie, artisanal jams, pickles, salts, vinegar, and oil. Going along with the thoughtful menu is a select and unique offering of craft beers, wines, and cocktails.

Drawing upon the rich history of Milwaukee’s craftsmanship we present, Craft. The history of Milwaukee dates to the early 17th and 18th centuries when traders first began to travel through and eventually settle in what is now Milwaukee. Deep European roots brought craftsmen and skilled hands to the area and to this day an ethic of hard work and determination inhabits the spirit of the city. Early on the area was full of coopers, butchers, shoemakers, and farmers. Milwaukee’s beer history started in the 1840’s, driven by the presence of the frontier settlement near the Great Lakes. Immigrants, including Welsh and German settlers, yearned for the native beers of their homelands, so they embarked on making delicious craft beer with techniques from their native countries. Craft features a cuisine including locally sourced foods, hand crafted cocktails, and a vast selection of local beer.

    Love dinner at Onesto! Creative and amazing cocktails. So very Gluten free friendly! Even things like crab cakes made with gluten free bread crumbs and good gluten free bread with meat and cheese board. Everything was delicious and our waitress was really fun and helpful.

    We had an awesome experience at DanDan! Service was wonderful, every staff member was kind and warm. Food was so delicious. We had the dandan noodles of course, but also the market vegetables which that day happened to be broccoli in a mussel sauce, shrimp fried rice and beef chow fun. Things were served family style which our server let us know right away. It was great because our party of 4 could try everything. Would definitely come back. Also book a reservation in advance, we overheard a walk-in being told it might be a long wait.

    Lobster Thermidor and wedge salad were excellent. Recommend reserving at the counter overlooking food prep area as they give a couple free goodies if you sit there. Also, if you stay at the Pfister Hotel, you don’t even need to go outside to access the restaurant.

    First of all I must compliment our server, Samantha L., she was delightful. She gave us the specials & also the history on the Harbor Burger. I must confess we are not big fans of seafood & since it was lunch time ordered the burgers—they were awesome along with the fries. We love looking out at the Lake Michigan.

    The Edison has a great vibe! Cocktails were good (we ordered traditional as well as on menu). Food was super good - wide variety of mains that everyone enjoyed. We were celebrating christmas with our family and received excellent service of Alex. We also appreciated the free round of drinks from the owner who my niece chatted with at the bar :) That was a very kind gesture! We will be back for sure! Great place for locals and out of towners!!
