Braise Restaurant & Culinary School

Braise was the perfect place to host our rehearsal dinner. Although we were out of state, Becky made the planning process seamless - she was easy to work with, communicative and she made accommodating all of our dietary restrictions and allergies a cinch. On the night of, we enjoyed some of the best food we've ever had and the service was great from start to finish. Everything about our evening was fantastic. The whole staff were so incredibly friendly and professional. We could not recommend Braise enough and look forward to returning for anniversary dinners!

Braise hosted my wedding and it turned into the perfect day! I don't live in Wisconsin anymore so planning a wedding from out of state was stressful. I was so lucky to have Becky and her experience with wedding planning. She walked me through everything I needed to do and made the process very smooth. I cannot recommend working with her enough. I have a lot of friends who are foodies and were flying to Wisconsin. I wanted to serve them an amazing meal and with Braise we accomplished that. Many guests complimented us on the food at our wedding including a friend who eats at Michelin star restaurants. They also made our wedding cake and it was the best cake I have ever eaten, not too sweet. My husband and I are looking forward to coming back here for future anniversary meals. :)

I used Braise to host our intimate wedding celebration, and I couldn't be happier! As we were planning the wedding from out of state, having Becky to work with was an absolute dream. She was so communicative, easy to work with, and was flexible as we flew into Milwaukee a few times to tour the venue. The food was phenomenal - our guests raved about the pork buns, chicken crostini, and flourless chocolate cake well into the night. We had a cocktail style reception, and Becky was immensely helpful in estimating food counts to keep everyone full throughout the evening. Service was smooth - drinks and food were brought out promptly, and empties were quickly whisked away. The entire staff were so friendly and professional. I could not recommend Braise more highly for an event - I can't wait

Great food and friendly service! I took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we enjoyed a couple appetizers and entrees. I was not only pleased with the quality of of the locally sourced food, but I was also satisfied with the portion sizes. The selection of craft beer was also a plus 🍻 Definitely check this spot out!

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
