- SStacyChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe came for the valentine's special for 2. For $55, it was an excellent value. We went with the pimento queso for an appetizer, it was way better than I expected. We both got the honey dusted fried chicken and oh my gosh, was it good! It was seasoned perfectly, super crunchy outside and so juicy and flavorful inside. We finished up with the pecan pie, which I normally find too sweet, but this was PERFECT! I feel like I tasted a hint of bourbon in the pie and loved it.More infoTupelo Honey - MilwaukeePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Southern• Milwaukee•4.7

- JJonathanVIPWisconsin •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe menu was very impressive, with multiple options that my wife I were eager to try. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and helped us decide on what to get. After ordering appetizers, pasta, desserts, and multiple drinks I was also surprised that the bill was lower than I expected, especially for the quality of everything. We will definitely return.More infoZarletti - DowntownPrice: Expensive• Italian• Milwaukee•4.8

- SSusanVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •25 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was our second visit . The first was a disaster, but it was very soon after they opened. Tonight, it was outstanding. We had the burrata salad, very unusual but really excellent. The addition of the oranges with the bitter arugula was very tasty. The entrees were excellent, we had the veal and halibut. And the chocolate pana cotta was perfect ending.More infoSafinaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Milwaukee•4.9
