Parkside 23

This restaurant was highly recommended by my friends and family in Milwaukee; and it did not disappoint. It is a farm to table restaurant and everything is grown fresh on their farm or from local sources. The menu is spectacular: everything from soups and salads to fish, chicken, veal and even ethnic dishes like tacos, stir-fry, and jambalaya. It's also unique that the food items are separated by price point. I went for lunch on a Tuesday with four family members. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter was Joe and he was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. My aunt had mentioned that we needed to get the creamed corn as an appetizer because they were famous for it. We ordered two servings and they came out quickly. Boy were they delicious! I would never think of getting creamed corn as an appetizer, but it truly was out of this world with fresh corn and bits of bacon and peppers in a creamy sauce! We also had the arancini for an appetizer and it was good. For my meal I had a wedge salad and a cup of lentil soup. The salad was huge and super fresh! It also had cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and bits of bacon with a thousand island style dressing, very yummy! The soup was a huge portion, more like a bowl, with huge chunks of ham and cilantro. It was just ok. My husband had the short rib tacos and he said the filling was really good, but the tortillas didn't hold together very well. My cousins had the jambalaya and stir fry with shrimp. They said they were really good as well. My aunt had the meatloaf, (she gets it all the time,) and she stated that it was really delicious because they make their meatloaf with steak. All the portions were huge, and we had to ask for several to-go boxes. In addition to the excellent food, the restaurant is really beautiful inside. We visited a few days before Thanksgiving and the entire dining room was decorated with Christmas trees. I was very impressed with Parkside 23 and would definite recommend dining here if you get the opportunity.

I had not been at Parkside 23 for awhile. My friend and I decided to go there for a late birthday celebration. We sat in the front room away from the main dining hall. The restaurant has nice quaint setting but it can get loud in there due to the acoustics.The portion of food was good value for the price. I went with the fish fry which came hot and the fish was meaty and fresh. The batter was not greasy. Service was quick and friendly. But after we received our food it was harder to find the wait staff to get water refill. Overall I recommend Parkside for a nice meal and comforting, quaint ambience.

The food is always delicious. Highly recommend getting there early and grab a seat in the bar area and enjoy the ambiance.

An incredible Farm to Table restaurant with really vibrant rotating menu items. I've stopped at Parkside a few times now when I am in town and the service has always been exceptional, and the food has felt warm and clean. The curry squash soups this time was truly something special!

It has been a long time since we've been in to eat or drink. We often came here every other day when we lived in Brookfield. Being back was so wonderful, and I'm so glad that they're as perfect as we remember them.Always such a nice atmosphere to hang out in. TVs to watch, the noise level is comfortable, and the people are so friendly!We grabbed various things on the menu to try and all of them had such great flavors, paired with the drinks we enjoyed. We will definitely be back, and hopefully more often. Some of the menu items were exactly as we remembered, and it was great to try some items we hadn't ordered before.This is one of the few places we have absolutely never had a bad experience with. I mean, never. I suggest you try it out if you're in the area and want to get some delicious food in the Brookfield area.

Went here for our book club meeting, which was seven people - notable because they only take reservations for 8+ people in advance, otherwise you have to call the day of. We did that and had no issues getting a reservation on an early Saturday night for the group. Location itself is on a farm, and it's my understanding they grow many ingredients there. If you're from SE WI and familiar with the "Chancery" restaurants, this is in that family. To me, a bit higher end perhaps than I remember Chancery being. Entrees were divided by price on the menu, which I'd never seen before. The service was great - no issues substituting my vegetable choice, and they offered to split the check. Everything except my wine* was delicious! *personal preference, no fault of restaurant. You win some, you lose some. ‍

5-star service. Our server is really great. The dining environment is a bit dark inside but the vibe is casual, comfortable and welcoming. Menu is big with all kinds of options, although we thought the menu would be more on the unique side with its farm to table concept before coming in. The food is served pretty fast. We got pork fries, jambalaya and short rib tacos for entrees. Everything was good and homey without too many fancy changes of the recipes that everyone is familiar with. The rice in the jambalaya is risotto-style so it feels heavier than a regular jambalaya. We got carrot cake and crème brûlée for desserts. They looked very cute and tasted as good as they look. Our server offered a treat on the house after hearing we were celebrating anniversary which is so sweet. We had a lovely night here.

Finally tried Parkside 23 and it did not disappoint! Our server was amazing, the food tasted great. Parkside 23 is versatile- can be a nice date night dinner, family dinner or even dinner with friends. During our visit, we ordered extra protein with our entrees, and really did not need to, so we ended up with so much leftovers. We will definitely be back!

Service was excellent, no rush to clear us out on a busy tonight. Thank you! Shaded outside seating was spacious. Fresh, flavorful dinner!

First time. Great service. Our waiter was fun, friendly and attentive but not overly so. We skipped appetizers but won free desserts. I had a saffron seafood special that was delicious. Both desserts were very good. The dining room we were in was full by the time we left but the volume never got too loud.
