First of hopefully many visits. A small intmate restaurant with a tiny tiny kitchen in the corner of the dining room. Its a treat to watch the chef turn out amazing meals at such speed & precision. We had 3amazing entres all arrive with perfection. The owner was great and surly knows what she is doing.

Lucky to find off street parking very close to restaurant while tottering in my spikey high heel sandals. Ya know what I mean? I loved the setting and vibe of this little hot spot. Decor very much appreciated. Funky artsy fun. Checked in and we were seated, BAM, we did reserve ahead. I ordered a margarita husband had whisky. Margarita... More

Wow! Crazy Water is a little off the beaten path but go find it! The food is excellent and service is attentive and helpful. We had both small plates and large plates and nothing disappointed. The scallops were so very good. Tender and done just right. The feta and tomato small plate could have been a meal. Delicous.

Crowded but comfortable. Busy because it is so good. Better make a reservation or sit at the small bar (if there is room) and watch the cooks make your dinner in the mini kitchen. I had the almond crusted salmon, wife had the shrimp and we both will eagerly return with friends in tow. Just a couple blocks due north... More

Small plates. Large plates. Ever-changing menu. Wine, whiskey, and beer on tap. Small revamped house with great atmosphere. Make a reservation unless it's after 8pm. Very busy otherwise as seating is rather limited.

Great food. Small restaurant. Sit outside....there are heaters on the porch. Very comfortable. BUT. Be very careful where you park your vehicle. Mine was broken into during dinner!

This little gem is hard to find, but once you do, it'll be hard to resist. Using the best regional and seasonal ingredients, they craft a menu of intriguing and very tasty choices, as well as daily specials that really are special. The restaurant bustles without being overly loud, and impresses without being pretentious. A decently priced wine list and... More

Went here with my family to celebrate my B-day this year and had a great meal. I find the specials are usually excellent - had an exceptionally well-prepared veal loin crusted with pistachios. An old favorite appetizer is dates stuffed with chorizo. Mascarpone cheesecake was best of the desserts

I went to Crazy Water with my wife for a nice pre-theatre dinner. We'd been trying to get in here for months, but never got organized enough. We arrived around 5:15, hopeful but with no reservations. We could have had a table if we wanted to leave by 6:30, so we decided to sit at the bar instead, which worked... More

This is a small-ish restaurant in an old store-front. But, the food is fantastic and the entrees are made at the end of their bar. Some of the best food in Milwaukee--if you love food and great atmosphere you have to go here!
