A fabulous experience!

I went on Sunday around noon and expected it to be packed like all the other places serving brunch but I was seated right away.

I was greeted by the most friendly and enthusiastic server I’ve ever met, Mimi! She made my experience there so memorable and welcoming that I just felt like I was meeting with a friend whenever she came around. She took the time with me to go over any questions I had and I never felt rushed even though she was busy with her other tables. I also took note she took the time with her other tables too and always had a smile on her face.

I had the most satisfying breakfast and tried their baked brioche French toast but a smaller portion. It was almost like a bread pudding, so crispy and crunchy on top and creamy deliciousness underneath. It reminded me of when my sister would bake goods at home and had me try them, you could really taste the love in it. It truly was delicious and I’m so happy I gave them a try for brunch.

I’ll definitely be back 🌟

Tre Rivali was an overall great experience! We sat outside, right in the third ward. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We had the brussel sprouts (my favorite, they were excellent), Ajvar, Spicy Sweet Pizza, and broccolini. The cocktails were also good too. A bit on the pricier side, but worth it for a good date night. A plus it is part of the Journeyman Hotel, and you can pop upstairs to the Outsider right after for drinks!

We loved getting brunch here during our stay. The food was fantastic and the service was great, especially with our server Shawn! We enjoyed the smoothie bowl, steak and eggs, and breakfast pizza most. Portions are large. Would definitely return!

After being asked to leave "The Capital Grille" (review posted) even though we had a reservation, I made a reservation with "The Rivali" and we were warmly welcomed. The service was awesome and they accommodated our dietary restrictions and requests with ease. Everyone enjoyed their food. Thank you for the amazing meal

This was a truly delightful evening, enhanced by the outstanding service of Janet who expertly guided us through the menu with suggestions and recommendations. We basically put our choices in her hands, from appetizers through dessert. And the choices exceeded all of our expectations.
The menu is creative and reflects a genuine passion for abundant flavor by the master chef. You can always tell when a restaurant and their staff love what they are doing! What a treat!
Our food was obviously cooked to order and arrived piping hot! Thank you!
Plusses include a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, surroundings that afforded quiet conversation and a meal to be savored.
So looking forward to returning.

I gave Tre Rivali not one, but two chances — and both left me disappointed.

The first dinner started with chickpea soup and lentils, which set the tone in the blandest way possible. No bold flavors, no depth, nothing memorable. The polenta rice balls, which are usually my favorite dish at a Seattle spot I love, were equally underwhelming here — flat, flavorless, and uninspired. Service didn’t help: the bartender was so locked into one conversation that I felt neglected, almost invisible.

Still, I decided to try again. This time I ordered the brick oven pizza. Honestly, I don’t know who can mess up pizza, but somehow they managed. Instead of wood-fired character or unique flavor, it tasted like greasy, cheesy dough with no spark, no originality. They do serve it in generous portions, but quantity doesn’t replace quality.

The only highlight is the atmosphere. The layout feels modern with its café-bar-restaurant blend, and the patio seating has potential (though construction noise made it less enjoyable). The menu reads beautifully on paper, but the execution is another story.

In the end, Tre Rivali is a restaurant I won’t return to unless they completely reinvent their menu and invite me back to experience the changes. For now, Milwaukee has far better options for both locals and visitors seeking great food, flavor, and service. No pictures necessary.

Came for happy hour on a friday, sat at the bar. Zeke and Peter served us, they were super friendly and helpful in suggesting a cocktail. I had the fleur de sole (probably spelled this wrong), it was sweet but strong and had incredible flavor. The kitchen was a little slow to get us our appetizer but the food was worth the wait.

Food overall was good- Parpadalle was basic but well done, portion a little small. The roasted half chicken had lots of good flavor. Outside patio was nice, service was a little slow/innatentive.

My main gripe was that they charged $4 for a refill of club soda. NOT Pellegrino, just carbonated water from the fountain. So my wife who could not drink paid $8 for two glasses of ice water (more than my beer).

Not the end of the world, just very tacky.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would, Tre Rivali deserves them all. They quickly accommodated our party of 15 which grew to just over 20. The staff were exceptional, patient, welcoming and always with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious, mouthwatering and packed with flavor. Each bite teased, tempted and satisfied every sense. My kudos to the Chef for creating an exceptional menu! He is a genius ❤️ and we tasted almost every starter, entree and dessert.

Did breakfast here one day. The service was definitely slow, and I wasn't given salt/pepper that other tables were given. Even though it wasn't busy it seemed to take a really long time to get water, place an order, etc. Food was decent, but nothing I'll remember for very long. The outdoor seating is very nice, but I wish the music from the speakers wasn't as loud as it was. It's part of the Kimpton Hotel.

Last week, my lady and I went here for the first time. And by God, the customer experience was awful. Our waitress ignored us and never took our order. It was so bad that after 45 minutes, we decided to flagged another waiter to take our order. Noticeably, our waitress only cared about the larger parties and catered to them. Then, they had audacity to charged and forced gratuity on my credit card without my consent. What a joke. Lastly, I recommend to not never eat there.

We had an incredible brunch experience at Tre Rivali during a very busy graduation weekend.

Our server, Shadi, was truly phenomenal. He was the only bartender on shift, yet managed to take care of our party of 8 in the bar area with ease and professionalism. He never showed the slightest sign of being overwhelmed and made everyone feel well taken care of — including the small kids in our group, who he was especially kind and engaging with.

We’re locals and come often, but this was by far our best visit. Huge thanks to Shadi and the Tre Rivali team for making it such a special and seamless experience!

The grilled branzino fish is one of my favorites. I had it in many places, but Tre Rivali easily makes it to the top. The fish was fully cooked, yet moist and flaky, and the flavors were subtle and not too overpowering. We also tried the hanger steak, which I highly recommend it to get it medium not well done. This is a very flavorful cut and if there is one place in MKE who can do it right is tre rivali.

Tré Rivali is a gem of the Third Ward, and, as a local resident, I often visit for creative cocktails, amazing brunch, and unique and delicious dinners in a sophisticated and stylish location. Our favorite part of the experience is always the service. DESIRÉE is always extremely attentive and responsive with our DRINKS and is so welcoming and personable. JANET is such a lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable server who makes you feel at HOME with her sense of humor and missed calling as a life coach. She also knows her FOOD and DESSERTS. We are #blessed to have them both in our neighborhood, and our lives.

The food was ok..have tasted better. The biggest disappointment was that the mac n cheese my toddler was served was visibly burnt. I was surprised that the server did not notice it. The manager was kind to replace it so thanks for that. However was very disappointed with the service as there was no engagement, Smile or even a "pretend" welcome shown by the server.

Through the power of friendship, I found Tre Rivali for dinner for my birthday. Our server, Desiree, made excellent recommendations. She referred us to the scallops and grilled branzino. Highly recommend both. Our bartender, Jacy, served us an excellent Tiki cocktail that paired magnificently with the vibe of our evening.

What I appreciated most was care for our table between servings. Chelsea and Adrian left us clean elbow room when plates were done.

Desiree offered us the toffee pudding, oil cake, and cheesecake to conclude our night. Pairing their house limoncello with the recommendation of oil cake concluded our fantastic night.

My first time coming to Tre Rivali. I will say it was an overall good experience. The chickpea soup, Brussel sprouts, and salad were really good. I thought the broccolini didn’t have any seasoning. I think it would have been better with some kind of sauce on the side. The service was great our waitress checked in often. And the overall ambiance was great really easy to talk to someone without other conversations over powering. I will say give TR a try and definitely get the soup!

This was my second visit, and I’m happy to say it was a much better experience than the last time. The coffee was rich and flavorful, though it took quite a while to arrive at the table.

I ordered the Steak and Eggs, and it turned out to be a great choice. Both the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, delivering excellent flavor and texture. However, the potatoes were a bit tough, which was slightly disappointing. I also requested sourdough toast but was served two small scraps of bread instead, which felt like an afterthought.

Despite these minor issues, the overall food quality was solid. With a few small improvements in service and attention to detail, this place could be even better!

Had one of my best meals in Milwaukee here. It was packed on a Saturday night but the supervisor let us eat at the couches, which is actually what we preferred since it was away from the huge hustle and bustle of the rest of the restaurant. We came in through the hotel side so we mistakenly bypassed the hostess, but it was not presented as an issue.

The toddy and punch cocktails were delicious, but the shwarma hummus was one of the best single items of my trip. (I don't remember the exact names.)

Nice atmosphere, stellar stellar service, and really delicious food.

We dined here for my birthday on 11.9.24. I will state we did not have a reservation. We were seeing a play at the Skylight theater (8p) and thought we'd drop in for a nice dinner before heading to the show. Gregory, the host, (I believe that's what his name was) was nice enough to get us a table facing the street. Our backs were to the bar and the rest of the restaurant, but we didn't mind. Gregory stated we wouldn't have a bar tender but would have a hostess. He said he'd take our drink order and he did. We did not order appetizers but ordered our entrees as soon as Desiree, our hostess, arrived. Our entrees took almost an hour to get to us. I called Gregory over and notified him we'd been waiting a long time for our food. He said he'd check. He did not return however, the food and drink manager, who's name escapes me, returned and apologized for the delay; he did not initially offer an explanation but asked if we wanted to order more drinks; we did. I expressed to the manager that we'd been waiting a very long time and even though we were appreciative of how quickly they were able to accommodate us, we still expected to be served timely, considering. The manager then offered some explanation along the lines of the cooking staff being busy and when appetizers are ordered then that gives time for entrees to come timely. We didn't order appetizers and it was our choice. The choice not to order appetizers should not have affected the speed in which our entrees were cooked and/or presented. When our food arrived, it was delicious however, the time it took to receive it was disappointing and the explanation given, overshadowed the taste. This place is pricey to say the least, however that wasn't the issue. The service was the issue. Not once did anyone apologize and say the next round of drinks you order will be on us. Our bill was $172.36. Luckily our show didn't start until 8p. We'd been in that restaurant since at least 6p. We saw our actual hostess twice. Most of what I noted here, I also wrote on the receipt. I don't think we'll be dining here again.

Initially we were really happy with the service but once we were at the table, the server was mediocre. The food was subpar and our cocktails that we ordered right away came after our appetizer and dinner were served. I’m usually pretty sympathetic to servers but there was no apology or explanation so that just makes me irritated.

Our dinner at Tre Rivali was nothing short of exceptional! We stayed at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, so the convenience of just heading downstairs for dinner was a huge plus, but honestly, even if we had other options, we wouldn’t have picked anywhere else – it was THAT good. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and we trusted her recommendations, which did not disappoint. Everything we tried was amazing! The whipped farmer’s cheese appetizer was a standout, and the Pappardelle Bolognese was perfection. This place exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Milwaukee!

I am happy to announce that we finally have found a chef in Milwaukee, at Tre Rivali, that knows how to cook with REAL SPICES (not relying on salt and fat like 80%+ of the other Milwaukee area restaurants.) We were blown away by the flavor from the very first bite, that was the most please surprise of a dining experience we've had in ages. Each had a tasty cocktail. Waitress was mediocre at best but did not detract from the experience. Also, very nice setting and ambiance. Will definitely return, and would recommend you give it a try!

Negative: our server was slow as molasses. She was nice, but daaaaang was she slow. Positives: the food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed house made whipped cheese with za'atar seasoning and olive tapenade hummus to start. Both had a wonderful depth of flavor. Our cocktails sang with bright fruity notes - mine came with a roasted and smoked slice of pineapple which imparted a tasty counterpoint to the sweetness of my drink. For our entrees, we dined on a pappardelle bolognese and a truffle mushroom pizza. Both were fantastic. The pizza was a surprise to me because of how well the flavors mixed. Sometimes truffle flavor can be overpowering but it wasn't - it mixed perfectly with the delightful cheese and mushroom flavors. With the bolognese, I wish the pappardelle were al dante, they were a little softer than I like, but I guess that's just me being picky. Last, but not least, was the constant attention and delightful discussion with the maitre d who made the long waits of the server tolerable.

I was here yesterday night with my family to celebrate. We were a larger party of 12 with a reservation. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Our drinks and order were taken in a timely manner and food arrived intermittently throughout our time. The food was fine-- nothing too spectacular. However, when we were wrapping up, a waitress behind our table dropped a tray of food, splashing some sort of marinara sauce on a few of my family members (one was wearing a white dress).

The waitress stated, "Oops," and shuffled away, leaving us to attempt to clean up the mess on the clothes. The food she dropped stayed on the floor under our feet.

Eventually, a gentleman came and cleaned up the potatoes on the floor, but not a single staff member (especially the one who dropped the food) came back to apologize. We know things happen on accident. We understand. However, the most infuriating part was that no one acknowledged the situation happened. We asked our waitress for some soda water/more towels to help clean up the stain on the clothes (it did not work).

This situation left a sour taste in our mouths and we will not be back.

We were excited to try this place for dinner with some friends after only going for breakfast/brunch in the past. It is a lovely restaurant with a classic feel, the space is broken up enough that you don't feel like you're dining in a large restaurant. Dining on a Friday night we made sure to make a reservation. It was just starting to get busy when we arrived and by time we left the restaurant was full. We visited during downtown dining week and was pleasantly surprised with the delicious options available on the special menu and the regular menu.

We all ordered something different, some from the dining week menu and others from the regular menu. I order the arancini, truffle mushroom pizza, and the butter cake from the dining week menu. The arancini was good but felt like it was missing something on flavor for the sauce. The truffle mushroom was bigger than I expected but very good. The butter cake was also delicious but very dense. I definitely left full.

We came as group to try out this place and we really were not disappointed. We started with a couple of appetizers (Lamb Kafta and Meatballs) and that put us in a really good mood.
We then moved to entrees: Campanelle, Spice Rubbed Half Chicken, Lamb Shoulder Tagine, and Hanger Steak.
Overall the 4 entrees were fantastic but the weakest was definitely the chicken; not because it was bad but it was standard. The pasta was delicious, creamy, and full of mushrooms. The Tagine was nutty and full of bold flavors that i never experienced before and we truly enjoyed it. The steak was great but they needed to take it back to get it to the right temperature and that of course messed with the juiciness but it was still great.
We ended the meal with 2 desserts: Tiramisu and Toffee. I'd definitely be getting the toffee again and again but probably not a huge fan of the Tiramisu.
Overall, we will be back for sure!

What an excellent dinner! We had the warm olives and focaccia to start. A wonderful light appetizer. Our group of four enjoyed each meal. Mediterranean salad was very good. Had with chicken which was perfectly cooked. Amatriciana pizza was delicious. No cheese other than a bit of grated pecorino…so many flavors. Lamb shoulder was deboned and served like a stew. Also delicious. We also had rice balls and the whipped cheese app. So good! Dez was our server. Food was tired well. She was great.

Had a drink at the rooftop bar and I paid with a credit card and left a cash tip and noted that on the receipt- thinking I was doing them a favor. They in turn charged my card 20% for the tip. The charge went thru at 3 am so of course I didn’t see it until morning. I feel like this is stealing ! I already left
Cash they charged my card without my consent. Very poor way to do business and a good way to lose customers. Will not be going back

Watch your wallet!!! Having a before dinner drink at their roof top bar (The Outsider) paid with card and left cash tip. They closed and charged the card an additional tip! The nerve! That’s called stealing in my book. Will never go back!

Had an absolutely amazing experience here! From beginning to end we had the best dining experience in recent memory. Our hostess Fiona went above and beyond for us! She read my note from our Opentable reservation and ensured that my surprise for my parents was perfect! Maggie, our waitress, was extremely attentive and gave amazing recommendations! She made us feel so welcomed and was a part of the family for the night. Will always recommend this place to friends and family!

I'd have expected better from this place given its reputation. I won't namedrop our server but we got the "I bet these kids won't tip well, so I won't bother" treatment, which was disappointing. We were three friends in our early 20s.
We tried muhammara, margherita and aperol spritz, all of which were okay. Tre Rivali has a great atmosphere but could do much better in terms of elevating its menu and service.
Also, shoutout Fiona for being so kind to us. You're the best! <3

What a wonderful experience. Outstanding service and food that is some of the best in the city. The Bolognese was absolutely out of this world and matched with good cocktails and a fine wine selection. If you're looking to go out for a special occasion or just to treat yourself, book a table here. It's worth it.

If you are looking for Mediterranean foods and big flavors that you typically would find in big cities like Chicago, Paris or Miami, this place has it!! Have been here several times and absolutely LOVE this place. The lamb kafta is the best I’ve had in the Milwaukee area. Moist, tender and bursting with flavor! The Mediterranean salad is ELITE. Their non-alcoholic drinks are also delicious.
Janet was our server the first time we went and this last time. She is absolutely awesome and gives the best recommendations for foods to try! She’s very attentive and has they best calm energy and vibe. Shout out to Janet!!
Can’t wait to go back!!!

This was the second time in a month that my husband and I enjoyed an amazingly fantastic brunch at Tre Rivali. I don't often write a review, but after two incredibly great experiences, people should know! First, the atmosphere... so beautiful, clean, smells wonderfully of a wood-fire grill, and has nice views of Milwaukee's Third Ward neighborhood. Second, the service... Friendly and knowledgeable, from the hostess to our servers (Isaiah and Ryan) who made us feel welcome and helped my husband know what was (or could be made) free of dairy products. Third and most important, the phenomenal food! Oh my goodness! SO DELISH and the serving sizes are very generous. In our two visits, we and those we dined with ordered and thoroughly loved the following: Avocado toast, pancakes with carmelized banana, hirara soup (so flavorful) and hopel popel (or hopple popple?) (like an egg skillet) . The drink menu looked amazing and the coffee was the best. Milwaukee is lucky to have this place!

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 had brunch there today April 6, 2024 with my good girlfriend. I had the steak and eggs!! Great! She had pancakes eggs and bacon which she enjoyed! My old fashioned was fabulous. However I'm writing this review for the waitress we had, Maggie!!! She was phenomenal! Very friendly, professional and just a sweetheart. I'll be going back and requesting to only be served by her. She's working a double tonight and not off until 9pm. I hope she sees this review and has a great evening. Goooooo Maggie!!!!!

Wow! I cannot say enough about the extraordinary customer service that we experienced from beginning to end! Everything from the initial front desk greeting, to the follow-up texts, to the personal care of every detail of our stay. We were celebrating our parents 60th Anniversary and they were treated like VIP guests. The rooms were meticulous, quiet and comfortable. I had called ahead to make reservations for Tre Rivali and John Cassanos, director of food & beverage, made sure that everything was outstanding for our dinner celebration! He even stopped by our table to check on us a couple of times. The food and drinks were incredible and service from Maggie was wonderful. Before dinner, we enjoyed cocktails and champagne toast (a surprise from assistant General Manager, Josh Waeghe) up on the beautiful rooftop bar, The Outsider. Our server Ashley was very attentive there as well. We could not have had a better experience! This has to be the BEST of the BEST in Milwaukee! Thank you all!!

As soon as you enter the place, you can enjoy the scent of the fireplace. The atmosphere is modern and relaxing. The options during snack hour are tasty; my favourite is the arancini with Nona’s sauce. Drinks are great, and there are zero-proof cocktails too. I enjoy having brunch or dinner every time I visit Milwaukee. I highly recommend the place.

For the first time in my life, I experienced racism firsthand at a restaurant. I am a black male African-American.
I made an attempt to get a table, and I was told that all the tables were booked and on reservation only.
Immediately after one of my white male associates made the same request.
He got a table for our party, without the need of a “reservation.”
The purpose of this review is to address this blatant racism.

We used to frequent Tre Rivali and hadn't been in a while. It's just as good if not better, and the service is, as always, impeccable.

Drinks are fantastic and you cannot skip their desserts. I'm so glad this place made it all the way through Covid and still maintained all their integrity.

A must go to in Milwaukee!

Perhaps the worst meal I have had in Milwaukee in years. Beet salad tasted like canned beats, with clumps of grapefruit inexplicably plopped on top. Arrabiata was somehow bland, undercooked and gross all at the same time.

My partner and I were able to secure a last-minute reservation for dinner on New Years Eve and were so impressed with our experience. Our hostess, Dana, made sure we felt welcome and sat us promptly in a corner window booth.

Our server, Desiree, took phenomenal care of us, recommending the delicious butternut squash bisque and aranchini for appetizers along with a glass of champagne to greet the evening. Having reviewed the great looking NYE menu, we actually decided to stick with the regular menu for dinner.

My partner got the hangar steak featuring fingerling potatoes, summer peppers, chimi roja, and a calabrian chili butter, and he added sauteed mushrooms To me, it said 'Bobby Flay', who he always claims is his best friend **eye roll** haha.

I went with the beet carpaccio (which our server sweetly explained, although with our food network obsession, we already knew 😉) which had orange marmalade, goat cheese, hazelnut, and arugula, and I added a medium salmon. If you can't tell from the photos, we were over the moon. I also ordered a TR Spritz (aperol, cava, ginger, lemon, rosemary, grapefruit) to go along with it.

By the time Desiree brought the desert menu, we were up to our eyeballs or by George, we might have tried! I love going out to restaurants downtown, whereas my partner generally doesn't. To have satisfied us both so much so that we can't wait to be back is no small feat. Can't recommend enough!

I appreciate that Tre Rivali was open for Thanksgiving! The buffet was everything you’re looking for and more on Thanksgiving day. The staff from the manager, host, bartenders, and servers were all incredibly nice and welcoming to those celebrating their holiday here. It seemed like there was an efficient system with the kitchen so food was always fresh. I’d come back for another holiday!

Me and my girlfriend came here for a date night. Everything was fine when we got our drinks but as the food came out everything went downhill. We told the waiter that my girlfriend has a Gluten Celiac allergy and ordered appetizers. They initially brought out separate gluten free bread for my girlfriend and proceed to bring out the mussels with gluten bread sitting in the soup and right on top of the mussels. When I asked the waiter if this was gluten free she said no and the waiter who brought out the meal asked if it needed to be and our waiter again said no.....She seems young to need a hearing aid. I ate the mussels and they tasted fishy and spoiled to the point where me and my girlfriend spit it all out into our napkins. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish hoping for this get better and it was worse. The food is not edible. YOU know its bad when you think to yourself..."I can make this all at home... why am I spending this much money on this garbage."

The lack of allergy care and not edible food makes this a big thumbs down.

My favorite go to lunch and dinner place. The manager John is amazing and the head Chef often stops at our table to say hello. The waitstaff is kind and they always do their best to make sure we are satisfied. The wine menu is great and the food is delectable. Wood stove pizzas are delicious (you can smell the wood burning stove from the minute you walk through the door) and the small plates and bites are especially delicious. I’ve never had a bad experience here. I also love their menu is seasonal. Super fun since we come several times. It’s always fun to see what their new menu will include.

The atmosphere is super cute.
We had the private property rose which was very good, meatballs were pretty good, falafel was a little dry but good, hummus and pita was fantastic, gnocchi and pappardelle were both fantastic as well. The only disappointing dish was the chicken (pictured.) The flavor and sauces were pretty good but the presentation just wasn’t what I expected.
Would go again and get the falafel, hummus, pita, and a Mediterranean salad!

The restaurant was gorgeous, the hostess was welcoming, and the server did a good job. But the food was mid-we had several appetizers, and the servings were so small it made them hard to share with the table. The pasta didn't have any flavor and I actually took the pizza home to add spices. I have no complaints about the service, but in general the staff seemed unhappy. It could have been a rough night, but as a former hospitality worker, points to management or work culture in my opinion.

We made a reservation weeks in advance for a party of 4.

We were seated and proceeded to wait over 30min for our drinks and over an hour for our appetizers after ordering right away. The restaurant was not overly busy, and the waitress acted like the wait times were normal and offered no apologies or compensations. After close to two hours we asked how much longer our main courses would be so we could just leave if they’d take as long as the apps. We were told ours were still behind in the order of other peoples even though we were seated and ordered way ahead of them.

Honestly very bizarre experience. Any other restaurant I’ve been to when wait times for food were even half as long as they were here, they would offer at the very least their apologies or offer to comp something on the bill. Here, we paid the full $350 of food and drinks we ordered like nothing was wrong.

Food was nothing special. We ordered the charcuterie board and one of the cheeses tasted like it was sour and went bad. Pair that along with the service we received and I won’t be back here again.

Recently finished up a quick solo stay at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, and I went into Tre Rivali for dinner. I sat at the bar, and had Kelsey as my bartender. She made fabulous recommendations for what to eat, and the cocktails she made were f’in amazing!! She was extremely nice and seemed to care for me as a guest. Great food, phenomenal service, and a beautiful place!! Highly recommend, and will definitely be coming back to see our lovely bartender and eat here next time I am in Milwaukee!

First time here, will likely not return. We walked in and we’re seated right away. However that’s when things went downhill. The hostess poured us some water, then we waited for at least 15 waiting for a server to try and order drinks/entree and no one came. The server was servicing the table to the left and right of us, however failed to acknowledge us. Not sure if this was lack of communication from the hostess or short staffing, none the less it was awful. If it couldn’t get any worse, there was water dripping from the ceiling to the left of us onto the floor. After waiting and waiting without any acknowledgement from the servers, we got up and left to get dinner at another location. Disappointment.
