Delicious food. We got the pho (gluten free) and the spare ribs (not gluten free), and Brianna was super helpful with my allergy concerns. Will absolutely go again.

Courtnie Korpela

Every bite and sip was superb along with the service and ambience. We ordered everything gluten free and will be sure to return in the future. Wonderful date night!

Amanda Luff

Great restaurant for a casual but upscale meal. Plan to get 2-3 plates per person. As a party of 2 with a drink each, an appetizer, 4 plates and a dessert, we spent around $150. Most of their dishes can be prepared gluten free and the staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating for diners with celiac.

Great atmosphere. I understand that it's where you can get about the best pint of Guinness in Milwaukee. I do wish they would make the gravy gluten free like they do in Ireland - it's an easy fix

Rebecca

Not a bad spot! I will say it was pricey! They have gluten free options and a ton of place to sit! Not sure I would be back,

Autumn Carroll

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Milwaukee. I also have celiac and their gluten free pasta is 🧑‍🍳💋

Megan Landry

Had lunch here with my husband and our toddler. They do have a kids menu, you just have to ask. Options are either chicken tenders or grilled cheese with fruit or chips. He can be picky but we ordered him the chicken with fruit and he liked it. I had the sesame ginger chicken sandwich. I am gluten free and our waiter was knowledgeable and ensured my meal was safe for me. I’d definitely go back and try something else.

Davide Donaldson

I haven't visited this restaurant in years. The buffet menu has improved. It had more options than I could have dreamed of. Everything tasted heavenly. They have food signs to show the vegetarian, dairy, and gluten free options. Thank you for all of the small touches.

gabriel smith

Just excellent!! Food was outstanding!! Service was great. I'm not a fan of Italian food but I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Plenty of gluten free options too. Staff is very knowledgeable about issues with celiac. Loved it

Rachel C. Varghese

Fun place with plenty of seating. Great outdoor seating options. Enjoyed our flight, especially the creamsicle. We also got a kids pizza and a gluten-free vegan supreme pizza and it was perfect. Can’t wait to come back.

Alex Hanrahan

I unfortunately have a glass stomach (gluten and lactose intolerance). Staff, including our waitress, Gennifer, went way out of her way to make sure my order was safe to eat - triple checking on little details like seasoning and sauces with the chef. I ultimately had the halibut which was great. Family really enjoyed their pasta and pizza.

joseph johnson

Very much enjoyed my lunch here yesterday. Was greeted right away and was able to sit down immediately. Water was brought to me and only a very small wait until my order was taken. The burger was great and cooked to my request. The gluten free bun was also very good. Recommend!

Christina Ptaschinski

Boyfriend is gluten free so this is our Go to! We had a very nice server named Valerie who helped us with ordering! Good food nice atmosphere!

Jen Reid

The food and service was great. Truly southern, as promised. Several gluten free options as well. Conveniently located near ample parking and other downtown attractions.

Our recent visit to Milwaukee Brat House was disappointing, especially after having previously enjoyed good service. We brought my sister and brother-in-law along, excited to share the great food and service we had raved about. However, our experience quickly soured when my sister, who has celiac disease, asked if the fries were gluten-free. The bartender/server's response was shockingly rude and dismissive, saying she had no idea and to "Google it," which was completely uncalled for. This embarrassing interaction left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed, especially considering we had recommended the place based on previous positive experiences. Hopefully, they can improve their staff's knowledge and professionalism to avoid such incidents in the future

My wife has celiac disease, so it's hard for us to find food when we go out to dinner on a whim but it was nice to see they had gluten-free pizza and it was incredible! There wasn't much else that we could order but the 12-inch "raging redhead" pizza was top notch. I would suggest ordering it as an individual meal though! Our food did take nearly 45 minutes but the wait was worth it, we will be back.

Robert Wojciechowski (Brb House On Fire)

American brunchers will love it, and foodies looking for interesting fusions will love it. The sweet potato chili crisp waffle was delightful, the ube cheesecake was light and sweet, the pancakes fluffy and buttery. Also, a surprising amount of gluten free options.

Annie Rapach Lagowski

Got takeout sushi for Valentine’s Day- not only was the sushi very good but the service was lovely and they sent us home with some sesame dressing on the house. The green sky roll in particular was really great, and the salmon skin roll was a nice crunchy option for those who are gluten free

Kate lennartz

I really enjoyed the Jambalaya, but my partner said the brisket was a bit dry... Service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. I wish they had a gluten free menu to make it easier on the wait-staff and customers. Our server did great, but I can see how that can be difficult for them. Please keep the GF PEACH COBBLER! It was divine. ✨👏🍑

If you are looking to go somewhere to celebrate anything or have an event, I HIGHLY recommend Bacchus. My group and I had the best time. I had a table of 7 that I made a reservation for. This was for a surprise birthday dinner. I wanted it to be a surprise to the very last second coming to the table, and our host for the evening helped play into it. I was very grateful they played along (not sure who was working Saturday Oct. 14th but thank you! I believe Carolyn/Caroline is the one who helped me set up the rsvp and made all the notes and answered questions leading up to my reservation so thank you!) The service was amazing. Everyone we made contact with was professional, friendly, and although an upscale environment, kept things light and fun. Also VERY helpful with dietary restrictions (I’m gluten free and I had 2 in my party who were vegetarian). So shoutout to our server (the check had 2 different people listed, Zoe and Isabella) and to her helping hand (I didn’t get her name unfortunately, maybe it was one of the two listed on the check). The food was incredible and came out very well timed. We all got the 3 course special and we all really enjoyed our dishes. Again, they were very accommodating to allergies and restrictions which is always a huge plus in my book. Even when bringing each dish they would specifically say mine was the gluten free dish which was so very reassuring. Wine and drinks were wonderful. There was a plum cocktail that especially stood out. In all, an amazing experience. Thank you to the whole staff for making a special night even more special. The person we were celebrating said it was a night he will remember for the rest of his life. Thank you Bacchus staff for such a spectacular evening.

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!!!

Jeremy Kaiser

Really good beers and gluten-free kombucha. Very nice, spacious place with tons of natural light, feels like you are outside.

Emily Pauly Neuens

My husband and I spent an afternoon at Crossroads Collective and had a lovely time. We had a couple of drinks and sat at the bar at The Pharmacy. The drinks were delicious. We shared several plates/items from a few different restaurants. It was nice to be able to try things from a few different places and not feel like we were breaking the bank doing so. The Caprese salad from Egg & Flour was incredible. If you are looking for gluten free fare, there are a few options at some the restaurants, including gluten free empanadas from Triciclo Peru.

This gem is tucked away in a neighborhood. The owner Mario is funny and a "debonair." Bonus points*** *Drinks are priced reasonably. *HAPPY HOUR IS WHENEVER THE SUN IS OUT! *Complimentary snacks *Cranky Al's pizza is served here, including gluten free. This is a must visit bar! #glutenfree

Jaylyn Knuckles

The service is amazing and they accommodated my gluten free preference!

D Castle

So fun! We rented one of the igloo/greenhouse tables so we could dine safely with our kids. Drinks were good, and food was great. Very limited gluten free options the day we were there, but I did get gluten free empanadas and they were tasty. Looking forward to going back.

Chris Maertz

Great salads, which are the only gluten free options in the menu. The empanada selection was great and appreciated by the gluten eaters in our group.

Gabriel Hopkins

Really great Mexican food in a funky setting. The server seemed to fully understand gluten free. Enchiladas were very tasty.

Katelyn Igielski

The food is fantastic!! Love all the gluten free options!! Would highly recommend trying this place. Good beer, good food and great vibe.

Anthony Nilles

The Lao BBQ is ridiculously good. Great gluten free options!

Jodi Graf

LOVE Braise! Provides so many "clean" organic/gluten-free/dairy-free options. Upon calling ahead to ensure my husband would have options via omitting sauces or otherwise, they were INCREDIBLY accommodating and we had an amazing time - where we otherwise are extremely restricted to eating out due to his dietary needs. We've since returned several times + have done their Tour de Farms ride. Food is always phenomenal... Ambiance trendy yet endearing... Rooftop garden is amazing... Culinary school available... Our hats go off to Braise!

Ayla Jensen

Delicious food, large portions. Good variety for gluten free and vegetarian. Little pricey but worth it for special occasions.

Daria Mueller

The wings were great with a dilly-churri sauce and loved the "let the beets drop" appetizer. Gluten free options! The fish fry looked yummy, lightly breaded, a nice light cole slaw. My little boy enjoyed the buttermilk waffles with chicken and a bourbon bacon maple syrup glaze. Outdoor patio in the back!

Allie Jorgensen

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!

I visited Elsa’s On the Park for a late lunch with co-workers. We were a group of 8, and they were able to seat us right away. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was nice. The seating was a little cramped, but this didn’t take away too much. Since we came at the end of lunch, we might have gotten lucky vs. eating at noon – it was a bit cramped. Everyone enjoyed their food, and it was a good time. I went with the Greek Maiden Burger, medium rare, with a side of fries. My only complaint about lunch would be the weird way the sides were served. I had a handful of fries, which were good, but underneath them were some random pieces of fruit and vegetables. This included a baby carrot cut in half, a radish, a piece of broccoli, a small sprig of grapes, and a thin slice of cantaloupe. Maybe this was done to make things look more…fancy? Healthy? I’m not sure, but it was odd, and both the fruit and vegetables were warmed by the fries and the burger, which was kind of unpleasant. I would have rather had more fries. The menu had some nice choices for sandwiches and salads, and I had a hard time deciding, which is a good problem to have. The burger was great and the toppings (olives, feta, diced red onions, mint) were unique and delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly, too – props on it being perfectly medium rare. It seems they specialize in pork chops, so a few co-workers went with pork chop sandwiches, which they really liked. They were happy to accommodate one of our co-worker’s gluten-free requirements, which was appreciated. I would come back to Elsa’s, although I would probably wait for a work lunch as it is a little pricey ($14 for a burger and fries is a little much, even if it was done nicely). The location near Cathedral Square is nice, and it was a pleasant place to have lunch.

If you want gluten free wings, this is the place to go. Dry rub excellence

Jeremy Miller

Great spot for grabbing a quick bite, studying, working remotely all day, it just hanging out. You can tell that the owner - a great community member - put a lot of thought into the space. There’s something here for everyone - in terms of food (vegan, gluten free), drinks (NA drinks), and space. I especially like the idea of the speakeasy down stairs. You can rent it out with friends on the weekends.

Rachel Zickmund

I loved the vibe of this place! Very classic long wood bar with bench seating opposite the bar. The food was beyond amazing, with many gluten free options. Our server was friendly, funny, and quick witted. Will definitely return!!

Carly Klingbeil

Visited for the first time today inbetween running errands. We were immediately greeted by the bartender, who we found out is owner or part owner. The place is well designed— very open and thought out down to their gold silverware which compliments their logo on their hardcover menus. We came strictly for drinks, but then after checking out their food menu had to get their jalapeno popper pizza (pictured) all the drinks were delicious and made with housemade syrups. Well balanced— you can catch every note in each drink. Very well done. Back to the pizza— we got it on a gluten free crust. VERY impressive. As someone who has been gluten free for nearly 9 years, it was one of, if not the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve ever had. Will be back here again!

Glad i decided to stop for some lunch. Delicious gluten-free options and friendly service
