Carnevor

​The food here is exceptional, albeit slightly on the salty side. A $320 bill felt reasonable, but the server completely forgot my $25 "beers for the kitchen" order—an unforgivable lapse in fine dining—so I capped the tip at 18%. ​That aside, Midwestern hospitality genuinely outshines the East Coast. My 20oz bone-in ribeye was phenomenal: a perfectly executed Maillard sear with a beautifully crispy crust. (And no stomach issues afterward, proving a steak doesn't need to be well-done to be safe). For dessert, the lime bar with fresh mulberries struck a perfect balance of sweetness. Meanwhile, I couldn't help but laugh at the next table diligently eating "healthy food." Give me glorious, high-calorie indulgence any day. ​Overall, a highly satisfying meal. However, the dining room is deafening. If you’re accustomed to the hushed, sophisticated murmurs of an East Coast establishment like Barclay Prime, be prepared to shout here; the loud ambiance isn't exactly elegant or lady-friendly in that regard. ​I might return if I find myself in Milwaukee for a third time, but for now, I’d rather explore other culinary options since steakhouses are ubiquitous. Besides, I'm completely over Wagyu—it’s only enjoyable for the first two bites before the sheer richness just ruins your appetite for anything else. 😂 Live fast, not die young, be wild, eat well and have fun.

Really felt special on this anniversary dinner we just had. The special Happy Anniversary menu greeted us with surprise. Food was really good from start to finish. We love the attention of at least 3-4 servers checking in on us for anything we might need. Most restaurants have at least 1 attendant but theirs is top notch. Keep it up! You made our night truly special. Thanks for the anniversary beignets too!

Absolutely loved our waitress, she was truly what made this experience so much better. She was knowledgeable, friendly and really seemed genuinely happy to work there and help us have a great experience. I had the Iberico Pork that was absolutely out of this world and the bread and butter that's severed to start us was amazing. Drink was just a good as the waitress said it would be. Overall wonderful experience and we will for sure be back.

Wonderful experience! We enjoyed appetizers of crab cakes and oysters and enjoyed the Ahi Tuna and New York Strip. Our entrees were cooked to perfection and the service was fantastic and attentive.

I went to Carnevor for a surprise dinner for my sister, and overall it was just okay. I would give it about 3 stars. First impression threw me off. The outside was not lit at all, not even the name, and it looked a little run down. Based on the website, I expected something more elevated. Coming from Arizona, I am used to steakhouses setting the tone from the moment you arrive, and this did not. Inside, the hosts were not rude, but not welcoming either. There was nowhere to wait, and since it was cold outside, we stood in a tight bar area that felt awkward and cramped. The bartender was great though, very friendly and the highlight of the experience. Getting to our table was another tight squeeze, weaving between tables did not feel upscale. Our waitress was nice, but she kept leaving before we could finish asking questions, which made things feel rushed. I did appreciate that she noticed I did not eat my crab cake and removed it from the bill without me saying anything. For food, I ordered a filet mignon medium well with asparagus and truffled potatoes. The sides were fine but nothing special. The crab cake and my friend’s shrimp appetizer were both bland. On the positive side, the steak salad and lobster soup were enjoyed. They initially served tap water, but brought Panna when I requested it. The bill was over $500, and the quality felt more like a chain steakhouse than a high end experience. I appreciated that gratuity was not included and still tipped 18 percent, but overall it was not worth the price. I would not go back.
