East Town Kitchen + Bar

Maysham was our server. She was amazing. I stopped by for a quick bite before going to get Ethiopian food from the restaurant next door. I ordered the Margarita's at Summerfest and the cheese curds. The cheese curds come with a Chipotle mayo dipping sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the cheese curds. The breading was light and each curd had a great cheese pull.

Our server Stephanie was amazing. She gets 5 stars. The bartender gets 5 stars as well because my spicy margarita was fantastic! I did witness the manager being rude to his employees and that turned me off to him so he should do better. We ordered cheese curds-very yummy and crispy, French onion soup alright. I order the steak. It was cooked perfectly and the flavors were great albeit on the salty side. Fried were delicious. Husband's burger was okay. The ambiance was really great. Comfortable seats and not too loud. Bonus points for having the women's hockey game on!

Wow! For service. Our meal didn't start out well due to a few overcooked items. Accidents happen, though, and the team was quick to remedy all of it. What else can you ask for when something isn't right?The pretzel is huge and has the perfect finish of dark brown crust and extremely soft. Paired with beer cheese and a really good mustard, you'll be happy. The Double Barreled Burger was outstanding. The toppings are fairly unique, so you may want to order them all on the side (even though I enjoyed them all).

This was a very good dining experience in downtown Milwaukee. It's located at the Marriott hotel, and reservations are easy to make online. I did stand in the reception area for quite a while before anyone helped me, but after that mishap the service was very good. I had the Caesar salad to start which was really tasty and fresh and perfectly tossed with dressing. I had the pork chop entree. A very thick but amazingly tender chop served atop very fresh and tasty vegetables. For dessert I had the cookies and milkshake. The cookies were macadamia white chocolate, warm, and delicious. The shake was a bourbon vanilla and not overly sweet. A perfect match. Overall this was a very delicious meal in Milwaukee! I recommend it!

Had dinner here with a colleague and had great food and service at the bar. We got salads, fries, and drinks and everything was great. The place itself has plenty of seating, both regular tables and the bar area, and there's TVs.

The pretzel appetizer is the absolute best! Doesn't hurt that the establishment happened to be located in our hotel, It was a brutally cold and rainy weekend.

Friendly, attentive staff. Generous menu. Flavorful food. Chicken and Waffles among the best I've had, and a bartender that knew how to make a Beermosa!One point off for FOX News on TV. Will deduct another point for each visit with that propaganda playing!

Date of visit: September 24, 2023A friend dragged us on an earlyish morning walk near the Lakefront with the promise of breakfast afterwards. Since we were looking at doing the trail near Pier Wisconsin, I confirmed that the establishment previously known as Milioke was now operating as East Town Kitchen & Bar, and would be a good spot to try, see if it was as good as its predecessor.The visit started out well, with a prompt greeting and essentially our pick of tables. Victoria, our server, was very personable and friendly, answering menu questions and making suggestions along the way. From there things declined, unfortunately. Victoria became preoccupied with setting up a large table for a party that was apparently slated to come in later and we waited a fairly long time for water refills, more coffee for me, and then our food.The restaurant was not busy so the wait is not easily explained. When the food did arrive, it was quite good. I really enjoyed my Cereal Pancakes, the whipped cream especially! But there wasn't enough syrup for the pancakes and by the time Victoria came back, I had given up and finished them dry. Our friend ordered a side of fruit, but that never came. Thankfully it didn't appear on the bill, either.All in all, not terrible, but it could have so easily been great!

Amazing!!!! Great vibes and food quality was superior!!!! Excellent service and the Wisconsin cheese curds were the best in town.

The place was very clean, the food was very delicious and service was very professional. Definitely recommend for downtown stayers. Didn't really see menu for little kids. The dessert was offThe CHAIN! Went on a Wednesday after 5pm and it was not too full.
