Most lobby restaurants are not the greatest experience. The Milwaukee, however, was a pleasant surprise. From a gracious hostess to a joyful waitress, to a very, very good meal for the four of us. The only food negative was a relatively bland dressing on the Caesar salad. T”My pappardelle was outstanding and the others felt the risotto, burger and salmon were very fine.

We felt taken care of, the service was attentive and very friendly. When a mistake was made, the waiter addressed it right away. The atmosphere was vibrant on a downtown Friday night. We'd asked for a booth in a somewhat quieter area and got exactly what we wanted. Our family had a wonderful night out.

With a name like The Newsroom, I was not expecting a sports bar atmosphere. I was expecting it to be themed like a Newsroom. Server, Jake, was great. The brie bites were wonderful. And we made it to the theater on time.
