    Update: (May 2025) Love that you can now make reservations online instead of calling. It was so hard to get a table before. (Wasn't able to get a table to celebrate a birthday last time) We both agreed our first experience in the bar area was better than this time. I had amazing green fried tomatoes in SC and wanted to try them here, not realizing it was a salad. The tomatoes themselves were meh. The roasted beets are better! I also tried the pasta that was bland and added chicken for 7 that was dried out. Overall, disappointed with what we ordered this time. _____________ We've been talking about checking this place out for over a year and finally went. We are disappointed we haven't gone sooner! Food was great! We got the Beet salad as an appetizer and got the short rib tacos & Parkside burger. I think they forgot to put the sauce on my tacos, but otherwise, no complaints we will be back! First come, first serve in the bar area, but you need a reservation to sit in the dining area.

    We have eaten at Parkside 23 several times and loved our experience every time (make sure you have a reservation though)! More importantly though, they catered our wedding in October 2024 and our food was a hit! People continued to talk about our foods over the holidays, as it was enjoyed that much. For a large gathering, I find this very impressive as other wedding food tends to fall flat for me. Additionally, they worked with us to make almost an entirely vegetarian meal (and appetizers) While most of our guests eat meat, no one complained or had opinions about our food primarily serving vegetables! In Wisconsin, I find this to be mighty impressive as well! Their staff also checked in to make sure that both the bride and groom were satisfied and asked to see if they needed anything which was very appreciated! I asked for additional corn bread and they came back with a whole bowl just for me (the bride). All of their food is INCREDIBLE but I stand that their corn bread is the best I've ever had. All I can say is WOW!! I cannot recommend them enough.

    Go ahead and make a reservation to this place for a future date night. They book up fast and the food is fantastic. The vodka sauce risotto with balsamic glaze is quite possibly the best risotto I've ever had. The texture was al dente. The onions were also wonderfully translucent but still had a bite. The acidic balanced the sweet that balanced the savory to make a concoction of culinary art. 9.8/10 The Butter Baked 14 dark chicken is a bit heavy on the butter, but I'm an idiot for expecting anything else. 6.8/10 The Mashed potatoes are velvety smooth, clearly having been passed through a ricer or mesh screen, perfectly salted, and whipped into an airy cloud. That being said, they are begging to have some fresh cracked pepper in them. 7.2/10 The Seasonal Vegetables (corn and green beans) are slightly over cooked and lacking in flavor but solid. 6.7/10 Cornbread. Look. I'm sorry, but I don't know why I do not like the cornbread. It was fluffy, airy, warm, buttery, and I enjoyed the solid bits of corn mixed in. However, when you make corn bread, it should be at least 75% cornmeal. This cornbread is more wheat flour than cornmeal which is sacrilegious in my opinion. 4.8/10 Creamed corn. No notes. 9.5/10 That all being said, this is one of the best restaurants in the greater Milwaukee area, and I cannot wait to try the entire menu.

    The staff was incredibly friendly — our server was fantastic and quick to help when someone at our table spilled water. I'd come back just for the great service. We had a nice view of the kitchen from our table, which added a fun touch without feeling like we were on display. Honey Mustard Fried Chicken Sandwich – Simple in the best way. The chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the honey mustard. Baked Veal Meatballs – Packed with flavor. The sauce elevated the dish even more — highly recommend. Meatloaf – Solid on its own, but the mashed potatoes and colorful carrots stole the show. Best enjoyed all together in one bite. Spinach & Artichoke Dip – Creamy, smooth, and served piping hot. No weird chunks, just rich flavor. We loaded it onto chips and bread and still had some left over.

    I went here for a birthday lunch with a good friend. We both had salads. She had the beet salad which had a great presentation. I had the Mediterranean salad and it was outstanding! Our server was very attentive and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable yet stylish and upbeat. The only thing I was disappointed by was that the patio was closed and we were hoping to dine outside. The bar area where we ate was kind of loud. This did not take away from the whole experience and I would definitely come here again.

    Went to this restaurant last night with some co-workers. This place was top shelf; everything was clean, service was prompt, and the food was excellent. Aaron, the server, was very warm and welcoming. I especially liked the fact that he took the time to ask if anyone in the party I was with had any food allergies. I had the 17 Butter Baked Chicken. OMG, one of the best meals I've ever had. The chicken was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, the mashed potatoes and vegetables were nice and hot, and the piece of corn bread was baked very well. Definitely going to return here soon!
