Jail House Restaurant

"Stopped in after the Milwaukee Muskie Expo while visiting from Ontario Canada. Not only was the Prime Rib and Manhattans excellent, the young lady and fellow working behind the bar were very pleasant, attentive and worked very hard. Made for a great evening."

"We had a reservation for right when they opened, and the hostess already seemed over her job. She sat us and was very curt when I asked for a high chair. The food took over 30 minutes to come out. Everyone's meat was undercooked. I asked for medium rare and mine was mooing still. I never complain about food, so I would have eaten it still, but it was cold on top of being rare. I asked for it to be warmed up, without even mentioning the fact that it was barely cooked. They brought me a completely new steak, medium rare this time, but the temperature was the same. Barely warm. Like they had a bunch of them made up ahead of time and just hand them out as people ask for them. Giving 2 stars because the waitress was very nice, informative, and attentive. She didn't make the food. But we definitely will not be going back here. Way too expensive for the quality of the food."

"This place is a well hidden jewel. The cozy atmosphere and extremely pleasing wait staff really topped off a great night with great food. Highly recommended"

"Waited an hour for my food. Tried an old fashioned and it was only three ingredients, they didn't even put simple syrup in it, and it was a "sweet" old fashioned at that. Why ask sweet or sour if you won't make it proper anyways? Had to send the first one back because it was bitter as hell. Tried the "warm me up buttercup" and it tasted like nail polish remover... Another in my group got the blackberry old fashioned and you couldn't taste any berries at all. The drinks here are God awful but the swordfish was decent. My group got charged an 8 dollar credit card fee, so pay cash when you come here. For the prices of their drinks you'd think they'd maybe make proper drinks, but all 3 cocktails my group ordered were depressing. Their only soda selections are coke and sprite. They said it's company policy that they can't split checks either, so be prepared coming as a group. Also, if you're gluten or dairy free, go elsewhere. Overall very let down with this restaurant."

"Decent meal and decent drinks. It’s a busy place. The first time we tried to go they couldn’t seat us without a really long wait. We made a reservation and ate a pretty good meal. I wasn’t extra impressed but the husband loved the set up on the surf and turf with the butter over candlelight. Overall a nice place for a meal. Service was a tad slower but our waitress was super sweet and very informative."
