Best Historic Restaurants in Wauwatosa

My wife and I have been for dinner in the past and really enjoyed it. We decided to give the brunch a try and we were not disappointed. We went with another couple and tried a variety of things. "The Benny" was a big hit, as was the ricotta scrambled eggs. As a table, we also shared the pigs in a blanket, a side of grits, and mac and cheese. All the choices were delightful. Our server was super cheerful and really heightened the experience. The grits were creamy, and the cheddar was well incorporated. A dash of hot sauce was all the seasoning they needed. Our poached eggs on the Benny were cooked perfectly and paired well with the prime rib and English muffin. Two of us had coffee and they have a coffee machine that allowed for all the styles of coffee you could imagine. The other two of us had their craft cocktail, of the bourbon variety, which was delicious, and a little dangerous in the most delightful way. Would highly recommend. We only wish the opened sooner, as they do not start until 11am.

EsterEv makes you feel like you are a celebrity being cooked for at a close friends home. The service is so friendly and familiar while still being extremely professional. This was my second time at EsterEv and it is such a hidden gem. The food is incredible and fresh and uniquely prepared and presented. I kept telling the server how I could never conceive of cooking like this at home which is of course part of the reason dining out at a place like this is a special treat. The sausage dish was transcendent. The bread and broth were like a warm hug on a cold night and the tiny tart at the end was the icing on top. We drove from Chicago and it was worth every minute and every penny. Highly recommend.

This restaurant is very quaint, with a wonderful ambiance. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and food. We were here for Valentine's Day and had a great experience. I can't compliment the food enough! My husband and I ordered all different food and everything was exceptional! We would not hesitate to come here again. If you love good food, and being treated special while you're eating it, this is your place!

This 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.

Great ribs and drinks along with sides. Bar is loud ish but the food is great.
