Braise Culinary School - Milwaukee

I don?t know what happened to this place but I use to love eating here. We had a reservation for 8:45 that we were even early for and the first thing our waitress told us was the kitchen closes at 9 so we need to get our food in asap. Why give the option to seat at 8:45 if you?re going to rush your customers. She didn?t even give me the chance to say we already knew what we wanted. Than the pork buns came out and the pork was super tough, some pieces too tough to eat. The

I absolutely cannot express how AMAZING Braise Restaurant Culinary School was for our reception. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. We reserved the upstairs room, including the outdoor space that provided a beautiful view of the city. Becky Ayala, the restaurant manager, was a dream to work with. She was responsive to my emails and detail-oriented, which was so helpful during the reception planning process. The beautifully decorated room dazzled guests the moment they arrived at Braise and established the vibe for the rest of the room’s design. We also loved having the outdoor space, which was perfectly decorated, with floral arrangements placed everywhere. We opted for a family-style dinner. Locally sourced seasonal food inspired the menu of Mixed Green Salad, Lemon Risotto, Montreal Chicken and Soy Braised Beef. The food was delicious and the two wedding cocktails, Crazy Dave’s Old Fashioned and Rhubarb Lemonade were wonderful and flavorful. Our waiter, Kira and David, our bartender, were exceptional and on top of everything. The timing of the dishes was efficiently paced to allow sufficient time in between dishes. Everything was superb, and our guests raved about the venue and the food. I cannot recommend Becky and her team highly enough. You will not regret booking your venue in Braise.

We had our wedding dinner here and the catering was phenomenal. We booked out the first floor and the split between cocktails in the bar area and dinner in the dining room was a nice little change of setting. The braised beef, pork buns, and chocolate mouse were hits, guests even took leftovers home. The lemon curd wedding cake made by the pastry chefs was great and beautifully but tastefully decorated. I hope we can come back for all our anniversaries.

Thoughtful and interesting aromas on a menu that does not overwhelm their eyes in the length, but their taste buds will delight. all from beginning to end, it lets you look at the exquisiteness of the simpleness that is made with a dig.

My wife and I might make this a monthly date night. The atmosphere is absolute perfection. The service is just as good. The timing of the dishes, the flavors, the place itself. Man. Blown away.We had the salad, pork buns, smoked trout pâté, and chicken mole. In that order. And it was the most perfect meal I’ve ever enjoyed. Each plate got better and better ending with maybe the best dish I’ve ever had in my life. Cannot recommend enough. One of the best experiences I’ve had.
