Restaurants near John Michael Kohler Arts Center

we are working our way down the list of best Milwaukee restaurants and this is our favorite by far. everything on the December tasting menu was different and perfect. balanced flavors. Mixture of textures. Mix of temperatures . of the six or seven items on the menu we can’t decide which we liked best because we were each so good. 

This was our 2nd time here at the Bistro and as before, everything was superb! Service was 1st class, quick, excellent explanations and recommendations if we asked. I have a particular food allergy and the staff bent over backwards to help avoid that and insure my meal was exquisite and safe. The drinks were excellent, the food awesome and we swore we would make it for a 3rd time. I suppose a warning is due, the restaurant is top-drawer, meaning it’s not cheap - either in price or in the quality of the food and the service. There’s an old expression that you get what you pay for, I think the Bistro exceeds that !!! We strongly recommend also getting there early and enjoying the bar!!

The Christmas brunch as usual was excellent. From the salads and the omelette station to the prime rib and desserts, everything was delicious. The food displays and decor were gorgeous and the staff were outstanding! Amazing of all of your staff to give up their Christmas Day with their families to make the holidays a little brighter for others. Well done!

Lovely setting overlooking Elkhart Lake. Food and service was good.

Nice to get out of the cold Nice lunch Had the prime rib french dip Would order without the red pepper spread
