Visited friends in Milwaukee and was pleasantly surprised with awesome selection of brunch entrees. Loved it. Pastries were delectable too. Was lucky to find a table on Mother's Day . Recommend to get reservations for sure sitting because the spot is really small and cozy. Would go back to this place.

We went here because it looked cute as we were walking by - good decision on our part! This was an adorable, small restaurant with delicious food. We will definitely be returning!!

When I entered I was surprised how small the restaurant actually is fitting only about 10 tables and very nice bar. Making a reservation could definitely help at times. There is an excellent beer and wine selection and about a half dozen beers on tap for about $5. In addition to the Dinner menu you can also order sandwiches in... More

This is a cute little restaurant with an amazing burger! (Britt's burger) This is truly one of the best burgers I've ever had! The fried artichokes were also good, and they have some interesting cocktails. We also ordered the Friday Fish Fry, but the fish was a bit soggy and bland. Stick to the burgers!

Wow. Great little place! Bloody Mary's were outstanding. Choice of four, from regular - which I had, and was far from regular in a very good way. They also had Jalapeño, bacon infused half and half and a couple others Breakfast menu was very imaginative. There were 6 of us and everyone had something different and all were really happy!...

I have eaten at Buckley's twice, and it is truly a gem! My new favorite place in Milwaukee. The place is small and was crowded both times I was here (a Sunday and a Tuesday night), but it is a nice ambiance, cozy. Eating at the bar is fine if you can't get a table. I would recommend a reservation... More

The restaurant is small for the crowd it attracts at lunch time. It is house in a charming storefront room with a handsome bar and lots of light. The corned beef sandwich was great! Our party of four all also liked the gnocchi with short ribs. The service was a bit slow considering that the place was empty by the... More

Recently ate dinner here on a weeknight. I was very impressed by the food, service, and atmosphere. The dinning room is very small, but has a lot of charm. It got quite crowded (and this was on a Wednesday in December), which was a little annoying as we waited for our table. There is a really cool old bar in... More

Small and great food.. A small capacity that adds to the atmosphere and the "care and goodness" of the dishes. We were a party of four for a birthday celebration. Everyone's every course was excellent. Since it is a small place, you may need a Lillie patience (even if you have a reservation -highly recommended). It is easy for us-... More
