My girlfriend and I were so excited to visit this place, and were so disappointed.
Of course, the fire house theme is very cool. They could have embraced it a bit more, maybe paid a bit more homage to the Milwaukee FD, but it's cool.
The menu is a bit over the top and could be simplified. Someone went a little nuts trying to make the menu sound fancy. I mean this in reference to the names and descriptions of items more than the items themselves, but it could apply to the latter as well.
I ordered a pulled pork eggs benedict creation, I'm a big eggs benedict fan. The pulled pork was dry and didn't have much taste, but the potatoes on the side were fantastic. I ordered a fried plantain on the side and it came smothered in salt and pepper, thus rendering it useless.
My girlfriend ordered chocolate/chocolate chip pancakes with shredded coconut mixed into the batter, and an apple cider mimosa. The drink was good, pancakes average. No need for the shredded coconut, and the pancakes were nothing special.
Overall, nothing about this place makes it worth returning to.
