Sweet Diner - Milwaukee
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
We had a great brunch at Sweet Diner, located in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. The sidewalk seating was lovely--tables lined with little potted plants and fresh flowers, making it feel cozy and relaxed.
Inside, the restaurant is spacious and stylish. Think big open dining room, high ceilings, chandeliers, and warm lighting. There's even a private function room, perfect for small events or gatherings.
Service was excellent. Our server Molly was kind, quick, and very attentive--she made sure we were well taken care of. And for a fun twist? We were seated right next to members of the Minnesota Twins (yes, the baseball team!). We didn't recognize them at first, but Molly let us in on the secret. They tried to stay low-key while we took selfies now we know why!
What We Ordered:
1. Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict
This was my pick, and it did not disappoint. Served on a toasted English muffin with poached eggs, smoked salmon, fried capers, and creamy hollandaise. Every bite was flavorful. The bacon on the side was perfectly crispy. Definitely a top brunch choice.
2. Steak and Eggs
A hearty meal with a juicy ribeye steak, two eggs any style, breakfast potatoes, and toast. The steak was tender and grilled just right. A classic done well and Paul said he'd order it again.
3. Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast
Thick slices of brioche French toast stuffed with a sweet cheesecake filling, topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. Decadent and dessert-like perfect for sharing or if you're craving something indulgent.
Overall Thoughts:
* Ambiance: Warm, welcoming, and stylish
* Service: Attentive and friendly
* Food: Generous portions, beautifully plated, and consistently delicious
* Price: A bit on the higher end, but worth it for the experience and quality
We'll definitely be back to try more. Sweet Diner lives up to the hype.
