Wow! What an amazing night I’m so excited I found this restaurant! Atmosphere was so fun drinks and half price bottle of wine was delicious. I have severe allergies to milk and I was stress free ordering off the menu. Dishes were outstanding. I loved the potatoes and orange wine selection.

Really delicious sharable meals. We tried the spinach rhubarb flatbread, nachos, and the hummus. All of the dishes were good in their own way and were happy with the dishes we tried. The staff was super friendly and nice to us!!

What a cute spot! Food was delicious my husband and I split the hummus plate, the mushroom tartine, and the eggplant caponata - all items from a new fall menu and each was delicious! My favorite was the mushroom tartine! Wine selection is incredible and so unexpected and the cocktail list is creative and fresh. Great afternoon spot for small bites and drinks! There is an automatic 20% service charge here but you'll find its well worth it!

Today was my first visit to Strange Town & I wanted to write this review asap to encourage folks to order the special of roasted asparagus, ostrich fiddle head, pheasant backed mushroom, & chive polenta while they have it! This dish was truly one of the best things I've eaten in Milwaukee in a long time. The flavors were lemony and fresh. It's so good - please order it while you can. I also ordered the Daikon Cakes off the menu and they were good. The flavor profile is more Asian inspired, so it was a big change after eating the polenta dish and I think they threw me off a bit. I liked the Daikon dish, but will probably try other menu items in the future before choosing to reorder. I also had the chocolate cake and it had a nice ganache-like frosting. The frosting had a coconut flavor I didn't particularly enjoy because I don't like coconut, and I don't remember the menu mentioning coconut. The cake itself is delicious and has nice, subtle flavors to complement the chocolate. Service was a bit slow when they were busy, but it wasn't a major issue. For reference, I ate as a single diner with 3 separate dishes and was there for ~1.5 hours. Lastly, a gratuity service charge of 20% is included in the bill. I appreciate this because it ensures staff get a decent wage regardless of added tips. Overall, I will be back.

Amazing food, service, and vibez!!!! We loved the adaptogenic chocolate cake, sea vegetable salad, baby red potatoes, and stuffed mushrooms 😍 we would recommend stopping in for some of the best vegan food you've ever had and support and local, small business that is kind and accepting of all! 💚

We had a great evening. I wasn't worried about getting a seat because they don't take reservations, but it was no problem at 7:30 on a Friday night. We enjoyed everything but the pumpkin curry was so good that we had to ask if we could order another to take home to our daughter! My husband had martini and I had a interesting but good glass of wine.

Stopped here for drinks and some appetizers to share with friends on a Saturday night. Very accommodative to the two nut allergies in our party. Don’t let the vegan menu items scare you away, the food is incredibly tasty and will be liked by all palates. The cocktails are the star of the show with several fall inspired options as well as great wines by the glass and bottle. We love this neighborhood spot!

Absolutely amazing restaurant. It's a European style cafe with delicious vegan food. I really wish they had something like this in Chicago.

Awesome environment, they have twinkle lights everywhere! The food was great too. I had Sicilian pizza, the soup of the day was chowder, and the Thai quinoa congee. The congee was quite savory( too savory for my taste) but overall delicious. I'll need to stick with a small plate next time so I can try their deserts!

Cool establishment. The sea salad was fresh and balanced. Tasty herbs and unique texture in the kelp noodles. Drinks were well-made, balanced with pretty garnishes. 1970s funk and blues music playing off a turntable.

This small plate restaurant offered a really rare combination if flavors and original pairings. Drinks 4/5: wide variety of tripe of drinks. Prices were the usual. We ordered two vermouths, both delicious. The Blue Velvet drink does not own up to its name. It’s flavor is not soft nor smooth but rather citric.(I’m being generous with this description, trust me🥴) Portions 4/5: for a small plate place were good, but for the price they’re a little bit over. Ex. the gluten free “bread” has only 2 pieces cut in half. Taste: bread for our plates were a bit burnt and not the best flavor. Service 4/5: two people for a full restaurant is not much but they did a good job of taking care of us. HOWEVER, food took a LOT of time. Almost an hour for 2 dips with bread. Ambience: good outdoor seating not as noisy as you would think for the location. Inside siting is limited. A hipster multicultural melting pot, but definitely a casual place.

We had a very nice dinner- the celeriac slaw on toast and the chocolate cake were the standouts of the night. Our server was a delight!

Even though I am not 100% vegan I still enjoy meatless meals. I have been here several times with the changes in menus and each time there is something new to enjoy. The wines are superb also and I also like the ambiance with the vinyl playing for background music. I am hoping post COVID to return again. Definitely recommend this

What a great find in MKE! We tried many different plates and everything was exceptional. They’ve been there since 2017 and I am not sure how we have not been there before now. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Smart, delicious all plant-based / vegan food for anyone who appreciates excellence in cooking. You won't be disappointed... in anything but the fact that you don't have two stomachs. This place is my new favorite.
