Enjoyed our food, service, and the atmosphere.
Kung po chicken was good. The beef chow fun was incredible IMO.
Ordered gluten free and felt safe eating here. Would recommend.
If you have dietary restrictions related to gluten, don’t go here. Even after a double check request confirming an entree was gluten free and prepared to eliminate cross contamination, it was served with a tortilla, that wasn’t gluten free.
Server stated they get it right 9 out of 10 times, stated after serving the meal. 90% is not good for those who are effected by gluten.
Manager came over and confirmed it absolutely was not gluten free. And stated they would
Cover medical expenses. Just saying that should send up flares. So, no controls here, training is an issue, BS statements and so on.
Everything was excellent! Our server was very attentive. My husband is GF and the server explained everything that could be made gluten free. Love how a chef delivers the food to the table. We started with warms olives and feta, meatballs, and the whipped cheese. It was all delicious. My husband ordered the Branzino GF. They subbed Broccolini for the cous cous. He said it was amazing!! My BIL ordered Hanger Steak and said it was fantastic. Didn't even need a steak knife to cut it. My SIL and I both ordered pizzas. She said her Margherita was really good. I enjoyed my Truffle pizza. The only thing I would add to mine would be a hot honey drizzle or something just to round out the flavor. But it was still very good and large. Looking forward to the leftovers.
The cocktails were also fun and inventive. The Montebello was delicious. And I was told that the Fig Old Fashioned was great too.
We walked around after dinner and then came back to the bar for dessert. The chocolate dessert is GF (can't remember the name). My husband enjoyed it. I tried the Butter cake with toffee ice cream. It was sinfully delicious. I was just too full to finish. It brought me back to when I was kid a Christmas time....(like the flashback in Ratatouille 🩷) I wish I could have finished. If we are ever in Milwaukee again, we will definitely be back!!!
I attempted to order online with my fiancee; I have allergies to wheat and eggs, and made my order as such. I had my entire half of the order cancelled rather than having been contacted, presumably because they were out of the gluten-free buns I needed or something like that? I don't know, because they didn't bother to call.
Riley's is a unicorn in Milwaukee. The food is amazing and they keep adding more great options (including gluten free) to the menu. They offer some of the best (and most consistent) cocktails in town. You can bring your dogs and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome every time you walk in the door. Keep up the great work!
