Amazing experience! Lupi & Iris is an upscale restaurant perfect for a date night. The ambiance is great, the restaurant is beautiful and very elevated. The service was great, our waitress gave great recommendations. The food is phenomenal! We started with the ratatouille and the corzetti. The ratatouille was amazing, so fresh and flavorful! The pesto is incredible! The corzetti is a pasta that was also wonderful! For entrees I ordered the lamp chops and my husband ordered the duck. Both were amazing, very tender and flavorful! Lastly we ordered dessert, we got the special which was two cannolis filled with a lemon curd and came with a lavender ice cream. It was delicious! We also ordered the Caramel Pots de Crème and YOU MUST ORDER! This was phenomenal! We had such a great experience here! It is on the pricier side but it was worth every penny! HIGHLY recommend trying Lupi & Iris!

Great happy hour. The bar had good ambiance and the bartender was attentive and observant of when my drink was almost empty, ready to ask if I would like another. I ordered a dirty martini, a classic drink for a great price! The bartender even asked if i wanted regular olives or feta stuffed.

What a great happy hour! The drinks are amazing, I highly recommend the cosmo and just a simple gin martini with a twist. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. The noise level is always very minimal and allows you to have a great conversation with your group.

First time in Milwaukee and knowing nothing about the local cuisine besides cheese curds, but having remembered the most recent season of Top Chef was filmed here, wanted to stop by and check out this James Beard nominated restaurant. Wow it did not disappoint. It was amazing for any city. The space was big, good ambience, had a drink at the bar before we sat down further back in the restaurant. Since we were a bigger group we ordered starters and apps to share for the table. Stars of the night - steak tartare, egg mollet, and the corzetti. Had never had this type of pasta before but they are round small thin - like coin type pastas with a creamy walnut sauce and parmigiana. HIGHLY recommend!!! But everything was absolutely delicious. And our server Lars was awesome. Great recommendations, hospitable and welcoming. Can't wait for my next work trip to return!

Very excited to finally try something new in Milwaukee. An article came on my feed today regarding the 10 best restaurants in Wisconsin according to where the judges of top chef ate. Corzetti pasta in a walnut sauce... veal chop in a garlic anchovy sauce I'd love to give this place 5 stars but inconsistancies in seasons bring it down. My oasta was over salty. The garlic anchovy sauce was just anchovies

Loved my lunch here recently. They had a special to try smaller plates of their dishes for decent prices compared to their full dishes (~$25 for 2 choices, ~35 for 3 choices). The bread course was delicious as they brought out perfectly salted butter to pair it with. Loved the soupe au pistou, and my pasta. Opted for their olive oil cake. Perfectly portioned to cap off a lunch with. They timed the food to us so be aware if you are taking your time. Don't miss filling the meter! Lunch took about 2 hours but probably would've been faster if we ate faster. Look forward to trying them again.

We went there to celebrate my birthday. We were promptly greeted and went to the bar for a drink. Bartenders were extremely nice, great drink suggestions and the cocktails were very good. We decided to eat at the bar because we liked how well it was designed and the bartenders were very good at customer service. The appetizers were very good, tasty and just the right size. We were unsure what to order for dinner and in speaking with 2 other gentlemen who were at the bar, and how much they enjoyed their meals, we decided to order the steak and the lamb chops. Both were sooo tasty and delicious. The amount of food was just right. Of course, since it was my birthday we had to have dessert, which was perfectly balanced. Overall an amazing night, thank you!

First of all, what a beautiful restaurant!! It was stunning with a large dining area, view into the kitchen, private rooms, and a bar. They had a great wine selection and options. We did everything family style since the pastas come appetizer sized and split 2 apps, 2 pastas, and a main entree was plenty for us 3 girls! The octopus was delicious with a great sauce and cooked very tender. The pastas were probably my favorite both were fresh and hot and tasty. The duck was also delicious and I would get it again! We got the sauce on the side but it does come with a sauce as well!

Prepare to be wowed when you enter Lupi & Iris. The stunning interior is what you might find at a fine dining restaurant in New York, Chicago or LA. This restaurant is large. I bet it could easily accommodate over 200 guests. I appreciated the sound dampening ceiling that allows you to have a normal conversation. The massive open-air kitchen is in the rear. It features an incredible wood-burning oven and grill that is used in many of the dishes. You can dine at the Chef's counter that surrounds the kitchen. Chef Adam Seigel won a James Beard Midwest Best Chef Award for his work at the Lake Park Bistro in 2008. Lupi & Iris was a semifinalist for the James Beard Best New Restaurant Award in 2023. Ian was an outstanding server. When we asked for signatures, he quickly pointed out the best of the best among starters and entrees. We were also impressed by how he checked on each diner without interrupting our group conversation. The menu is described as cuisine from the French & Italian Riviera. Here's what we ordered: Starters: * Conichons - Miniature pickles * Datiles Rellenos - Ham wrapped dates Entrees: * Costoletta di Vitello - Char roasted veal rib chop * Trofie al Limone - Hand-rolled pasta tossed in a sauce of fresh ricotta, pecorino and parmesan cheeses Desserts: * Olive Oil Cake - Lemon olive oil cake, mascarpone cream, basil ice cream * Caramel Pot De Crème - Caramel custard, caramelia chocolate cremeux The entrees and desserts were show-stoppers. Incredible flavor and presentation. Lupi & Iris would be a perfect setting for closing a deal, team building or celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Can't wait to return!!

I was able to make a reservation for dinner on Saturday at Lupi and Iris and had an excellent meal. To start, we were greeted by the host and our coats were taken. They also had a cocktail lounge to get a drink while waiting for your table which I really liked. Nothing worse than being in a crammed space when waiting for a table. For the meal, their menu seemed to be more seafood forward as they had a lot of fish options but they had some others as well. We got the sword fish and lamb and both were delicious. The star of the meal was a praline mousse we got for dessert. Honestly, one of the best desserts I have had. Definitely would recommend checking this place out.
